AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Palm Beach
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Palm Beach runs from roughly $18,000 for a modest shingle re-roof to $90,000+ for custom clay barrel tile on a Mizner-era estate, and the price is set before we order materials. If you’re calling from Palm Beach, you already know the island is different from the mainland. Salt air off the Atlantic and Lake Worth Lagoon eats standard roof fasteners in five to seven years, and the Architectural Commission of Palm Beach (ARCOM) reviews nearly every roof change on the island. You need a roofer who understands both problems, not one or the other. Call (561) 831-7863 for a free in-home measurement and a written quote that won’t move once we start. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every roof we install in Palm Beach.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
We’ve been installing and repairing roofs on Palm Beach since 2011, and most of our island work comes from referrals. A homeowner on Seabreeze Avenue tells a neighbor on Via Vizcaya, and the next week we’re on the phone. That’s how it works here. Palm Beach customers want a crew that shows up in uniform, calls before the truck arrives, and knows the difference between a Mediterranean Revival estate and a mid-century CBS ranch without being told. We do.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team handles the full scope: tear-offs, underlayment, custom tile replication, metal panel installation, flashing and valley work, and the final walkthrough with ARCOM when the job requires it. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform. Ed Winslow answers the phone himself more often than not, and if he doesn’t, a live person still does. At 2 a.m., you get a person, not a voicemail loop. That matters when a tile has cracked and water is coming through the ceiling of a 1928 Addison Mizner original.
Palm Beach homeowners tend to ask more questions than most, and we like that. They want to know the fastener spec, the underlayment rating, the Miami-Dade NOA number, and whether the ridge cap matches the original. We have those answers ready because we document everything. Our 36500-Day Done Right Promise covers every roof we install. If it’s not done right, Ed Winslow makes it right. Period. No arbitration clauses, no fine print.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Palm Beach
Architectural Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Not every Palm Beach home is a tile-roofed estate. The north end of the island has plenty of mid-century CBS construction that suits a high-end architectural asphalt shingle. We install shingle systems rated for the HVHZ wind zone Palm Beach sits in, with high-temperature self-adhered underlayment on the entire deck and stainless steel fasteners that hold up to the dual salt spray. A typical shingle re-roof in Palm Beach starts around $18,000 and rises with roof complexity, height, and the condition of the existing sheathing.
Custom Clay Barrel Tile Replication and Replacement
This is the most common roofing job we do on the island. Palm Beach has one of the largest concentrations of 1920s and 1930s Mizner-era Mediterranean Revival homes in the country, and their clay barrel tile profiles are not off-the-shelf. We source custom-molded barrel tiles to match the original rise and curvature, then install them with stainless steel screws that carry a Miami-Dade NOA for uplift. If your tile roof is original or close to it, the tiles may be worth saving. We’ll tell you honestly whether you need full replacement or a selective repair.
Hidden-Fastener Metal Roofing
Standing-seam metal roofing is growing on Palm Beach, particularly on the island’s contemporary and transitional homes where a clean, flush profile fits the architecture. Hidden-fastener systems perform well in the Palm Beach wind zone because there are no exposed screws for salt air to attack. We install steel and aluminum panels in a range of finishes, with all flashing and trim fabricated to match. Metal roofing in Palm Beach typically runs $28,000 to $65,000 depending on panel gauge, profile, and roof geometry.
Copper and Stainless Steel Flashing and Valley Systems
The difference between a roof that lasts 30 years on Palm Beach and one that fails in 10 often comes down to flashing. Standard galvanized steel flashing corrodes fast on this island because the salt air works on it from both sides. We fabricate and install copper and stainless steel valleys, parapet caps, chimney flashing, and roof-to-wall transitions that are sized for the actual wind and water exposure of each specific elevation. On ARCOM-supervised jobs, the flashing detail gets submitted as part of the overall roof package.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We’re an authorized installer for CGI and CWS products, and we regularly work with ECO Window Systems on projects where roof and fenestration need to be specified together. That’s common in Palm Beach, where the same ARCOM review covers the roof, the windows, and the doors. Because we stock common parts and have direct relationships with these manufacturers, we can turn around quotes and material orders faster than a roofer who has to work through a distributor for everything. For Palm Beach customers, that means fewer days between quote and installation, and fewer surprises when a custom tile needs to be sourced.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Rust-through of standard roof fasteners. The Atlantic is on one side of the island and Lake Worth Lagoon is on the other, so the salt spray never stops. Zinc-plated fasteners that would last 20 years in Orlando fail in 5 to 7 years on Palm Beach. When the fasteners go, tiles slip, and the next strong wind event tears off the roof.
- Thermal shock cracking of clay barrel tiles. Power-washing a clay tile roof with cold water during winter months is a fast way to crack dozens of tiles. Palm Beach’s mild but variable winter temperatures make the problem worse, and most tile manufacturers void the warranty when thermal shock is the cause.
- Improperly flashed roof-to-wall transitions at parapets. Mizner-style homes often have parapet walls and flat-roof sections. If the metal flashing at the parapet-to-roof joint is done wrong, water gets into the wall cavity and rots the original wood sheathing before you ever see a stain on the ceiling. We find this on a large share of the older roof repairs we do in Palm Beach.
- Failed underlayment on original tile roofs. On older Palm Beach estates, the tile often looks fine while the underlayment beneath it is failing. Water gets under the tiles, and by the time the owner sees damage, the underlying wood deck has been wet for years. A proper re-roof in Palm Beach replaces the underlayment, not just the tiles that look bad.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Palm Beach, FL
A full shingle re-roof on a typical Palm Beach home runs $18,000 to $35,000. Clay barrel tile replacement starts around $35,000 and goes to $90,000 or more on large estate properties where custom tile replication and copper flashing are required. Hidden-fastener metal roofing lands in the $28,000 to $65,000 range. The biggest price drivers in Palm Beach are roof complexity, tile or metal profile, the condition of the existing deck, and whether ARCOM review adds documentation, samples, or hearings to the timeline. Call (561) 831-7863 for a free in-home measurement and a written quote. The number we write is the number you pay. If the scope changes, we tell you before we change anything.

What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Palm Beach
Palm Beach roofing prices do not look like the rest of Florida, and the reason is not labor. The materials, the engineering, and the regulatory review are all heavier here. A standard architectural shingle roof that runs $14,000 on the mainland starts around $18,000 on the island because of HVHZ wind-load requirements and stricter underlayment and fastener standards. Clay barrel tile starts around $35,000 and rises with the level of custom replication required. If ARCOM requires a specific tile profile, custom ridge caps, or copper valleys, the material order alone can add $10,000 to $20,000 to the job.
What moves the price in Palm Beach:
- Roof complexity: hip lines, valleys, parapets, and multiple elevations all add labor and material waste.
- Custom tile or metal profile: reproducing a 1920s tile means molds, special order lead time, and premium freight.
- Wind zone and design pressure: every opening and every roof plane is rated for lift, and the documentation must match.
- Deck condition: on older homes, we often find rotted sheathing that the previous roofer simply tiled over.
- ARCOM compliance: sample submittals, hearings, and revised drawings all add time, and time is a cost.
The best way to know your number is to have us measure the roof and write the quote. The home visit is free. The written quote is line-item and fixed. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll schedule a time that works for you.
Florida Pays You Back
If your Palm Beach roof replacement includes opening protection, which it often does since we are a full exterior specialist, there are incentive programs worth knowing about. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and Palm Beach homeowners with older homes frequently qualify. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, and the federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying units. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically runs $75 to $150 on the island, many Palm Beach homeowners see windstorm-premium reductions averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we never guarantee a rebate, but we do help you document the qualifying improvements.
One thing to weigh when you’re deciding: impact-rated roof-to-wall connections and impact-rated windows beat hurricane shutters for a Palm Beach primary residence because the protection is always in place. No panels to hang before a storm, no storage, no rental tenants who don’t install the shutters before a hurricane warning. Shutters work, but they only work if someone is there to deploy them. A properly fastened roof and impact-rated openings protect the house whether you’re home or not.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Palm Beach
Yes, in nearly every case. ARCOM reviews roofing changes on contributing structures and within the town’s historic districts, and Mediterranean Revival homes from the 1920s and 1930s are exactly what ARCOM exists to protect. The commission can require you to match the original tile profile, ridge cap detail, and flashing material. We prepare the ARCOM submittal for you, including tile samples, profile drawings, and specifications. Call (561) 831-7863 if you want a second set of eyes on what the town has asked for.
On the island, standard zinc-plated roof fasteners routinely rust through in 5 to 7 years. On the mainland, the same fastener often lasts 12 to 18 years. The Atlantic and Lake Worth Lagoon both throw salt spray across the island, which speeds up corrosion from two directions. We use stainless steel fasteners on every Palm Beach roof we install, and we specify them per the Miami-Dade NOA for the tile or metal profile being used. Call (561) 831-7863 for an exact quote, and ask us about the fastener spec on your current roof.
ARCOM usually says no on original Mizner-style homes, because concrete tile does not match the profile, texture, or color of the original clay. Lightweight concrete is sometimes allowed on mid-century or non-contributing structures, but if your home’s original roof was clay barrel, expect to replicate it in kind. That’s why we have custom molds for the common Palm Beach profiles. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll tell you what the town is likely to require before you spend money on samples.
The primary difference is the HVHZ wind and uplift requirements on the barrier island. Palm Beach sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone, and the hidden-fastener panel profile, clip spacing, and perimeter edge details are all specified to a stricter standard than a roof across the bridge. Salt-air exposure from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal also pushes us to a heavier-gauge panel and stainless steel components that add material cost. If ARCOM review applies, the engineering and documentation add to the bill too. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll show you exactly where the extra cost goes.
The most common hidden problem is deteriorated wood sheathing under original tile or shingle that looked fine from the outside. On older Palm Beach homes, water has often been entering at parapet flashing points or through cracked tiles for years before the re-roof starts. Once we tear off, we find the wet sheathing, and that adds days to the timeline and cost to the job. We flag this possibility in the original quote so you’re not surprised. The best way to get a true picture is an in-home inspection. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll schedule it.
