Shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Coral Gables runs $9,800-$42,000 for a full replacement, with tile and metal at the upper end and architectural shingle at the lower. Most Coral Gables homes need permits pulled through the City of Coral Gables Building Division, and any exterior work on a Mediterranean Revival home may also require Board of Architects review before the permit is issued. We know that process cold. Call (727) 860-0593 for a free in-home measure and a written, line-item quote. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Coral Gables’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
We’ve been roofing and installing impact-rated exteriors in South Florida since 2011, and Coral Gables is one of the cities we know best. The housing stock here is not like anywhere else in Miami-Dade. In neighborhoods like Riviera, Cocoplum, and Snapper Creek Lakes, we regularly work on 1920s-1950s Mediterranean Revival homes built with CBS construction and oolitic limestone foundations. Those homes demand roofing materials and installation methods that respect the original architecture while meeting the strictest hurricane code in the country.
Homeowners in Coral Gables call us because we answer the phone. A live person picks up 24/7. No voicemail loops, no call centers. Every technician who arrives at your Coral Gables property is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s at your door before the truck pulls up. And every job we do in Coral Gables is backed by the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Coral Gables
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team handles everything from a small leak repair on a Snapper Creek Lakes barrel tile roof to a full tear-off and metal roof installation on a modern Cocoplum estate. We’re a full exterior specialist, which means the same crew that roofs your Coral Gables home can also replace the impact windows and doors on it, sequenced properly and priced honestly.
Tile Roofing Repair and Replacement
Tile roofs dominate Coral Gables, especially in the older sections. Barrel tile, flat tile, and S-tile over CBS construction are the standard. We replace cracked and slipped tiles, rebuild valleys, and do full tile roof replacements when the underlayment has failed. Salt air from Biscayne Bay accelerates underlayment breakdown within two miles of the water, so we specify high-temp, reinforced underlayments that hold up in Coral Gables’s specific microclimate.
Metal Roofing Installation
Standing seam and stone-coated steel are growing in Coral Gables, particularly in Cocoplum and Gables Estates where homeowners want a 50-plus-year exterior with clean sightlines. Metal roofing handles the HVHZ wind loads exceptionally well, and modern stone-coated profiles can pass Board of Architects review when the color and profile are selected carefully. We coordinate with designers and architects on these jobs from day one.
Shingle Roofing
Architectural shingle roofs are common on Coral Gables homes built after 1980, especially in the subdivisions west of Granada Boulevard. We install Class 4 impact-rated shingles that qualify for insurance premium reductions in Miami-Dade’s HVHZ. A full shingle tear-off in Coral Gables typically runs $9,800-$18,500 depending on square footage and decking condition.
Roof Inspection and Leak Repair
Leaks in Coral Gables often trace to failed flashing around chimneys, skylights, and the non-standard roof transitions on Mediterranean Revival homes. We source leaks systematically, document what we find with photos, and give you a written repair quote before any work starts. No trip charge applies within our home county, and we offer $40 off any repair over $200. Seniors and veterans get a permanent 10% discount.

Trusted Brands We Service in Coral Gables
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for eight premium exterior brands, including PGT, CGI, and CWS. We also install ES Windows and ECO Window Systems for Coral Gables homeowners who need custom arched units that match manufacturer-adjacent quality but ship faster. We stock common replacement parts locally so small tile and shingle repairs on Coral Gables roofs don’t wait on a distributor shipment from Orlando. When a brand has a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval number for a specific configuration, we match that to the opening, the wind zone, and the Board of Architects aesthetic requirements before we order anything.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Coral Gables Homes
- Salt-air underlayment failure near Biscayne Bay. Homes within two miles of the water see underlayment breakdown years ahead of inland roofs. We see this constantly in Cocoplum and Gables by the Sea. The fix is a full underlayment replacement with a high-temp, reinforced membrane, not just tile replacement.
- Cracked and slipped barrel tiles on 1920s-1950s Mediterranean Revival roofs. Original tile roofs on CBS construction shift as the limestone foundation settles. Cracked tiles admit water, which rots the battens beneath. We match the tile profile and color so repairs disappear into the roofline.
- Flashing failures at non-standard roof transitions. Coral Gables homes have dormers, turrets, and arched parapets you will not find in West Kendall or Miramar. Generic flashing details fail at those intersections. We fabricate custom flashing on-site or through a local Miami metal shop.
- Board of Architects red lines on new roof materials. If you are replacing a tile roof in a Coral Gables historic district, the board can require a specific tile profile, color, and even sheen. We’ve walked dozens of these reviews and prepare submittal packages that pass the first time.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Coral Gables, FL
A full tile roof replacement in Coral Gables typically runs $18,000-$42,000 depending on square footage, tile profile, and whether we’re replacing the underlayment (we almost always are). Standing seam metal roofs run $16,000-$35,000 on typical Coral Gables homes. Architectural shingles run $9,800-$18,500 for a full tear-off and re-roof. Leak repairs generally run $250-$1,200 once we’ve located the source. The big drivers in Coral Gables are roof complexity (all those non-standard transitions), tile profiles specified by the Board of Architects, and the cost of staging on tight, landscaped lots. We give you a fixed, written price before ordering materials, and we do not change it mid-job without your written sign-off.
Call (727) 860-0593 for a free in-home measure and a written quote. It costs you nothing and takes about an hour.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Coral Gables
The price anchors above are honest mid-2025 Coral Gables numbers. What moves the number is the opening count and roof plane complexity, not square footage alone. A 2,200-square-foot single-story in the Riviera section with a simple hip roof might come in near the bottom of those ranges. A 4,500-square-foot two-story in Cocoplum with six roof planes, a barrel tile profile, and two dormers lands near the top. Floor height matters too: two-story work adds staging days. We walk the roof with you, measure every plane, and deliver a written quote with line items you can actually understand. You will not get a number over the phone that changes when the crew arrives.
For homeowners also replacing windows on the same house, impact windows in Coral Gables generally run $800-$1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units run $900-$1,800. Large or custom arched openings, which are common in Coral Gables, run $2,500-$5,000 per opening. Whole-home packages run $8,000-$25,000+. We sequence roof and window work so re-roofing staging doesn’t damage new glass, and we bundle the permit drawings.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida’s incentive stack for wind-mitigation upgrades is real, and Coral Gables homeowners should use it. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades on your primary residence. Florida’s sales tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors applies to qualifying products. At the federal level, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost on qualifying energy-efficient units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75-$150), many Coral Gables homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy. We can’t guarantee what your carrier or the state approves; those numbers are set by programs and underwriters, not by us. But we prepare the documentation that gives you the best shot.
The Coral Gables Dual-Permit Reality
Here’s what makes Coral Gables different from every other city in Miami-Dade, and why it matters for your roof, windows, or doors. Every exterior replacement must clear two gates before a permit is issued. First, the product must be Miami-Dade Product Approved for hurricane impact under the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) code, which is the strictest impact-glazing mandate in the country. Second, it must pass the City of Coral Gables Board of Architects aesthetic review, which enforces the Mediterranean Revival look: arched profiles, simulated divided lights, specific frame finishes. A unit that passes code can stall at the board for the wrong arch radius or the wrong bronze tone. No neighboring municipality enforces that second gate.
On a landmark Mediterranean Revival home in the Riviera neighborhood, our crew replaced five non-standard arched openings that no manufacturer’s stock arch radius could match. We ordered custom-radius PGT WinGuard impact units with simulated divided lights and a bronze-finished frame to satisfy the Board of Architects, then sequenced the 14-week lead time around the owner’s preservation milestone. The real calendar driver was glass fabrication, not install labor. That’s the job we do in Coral Gables: custom, coordinated, and candid about lead times.
This page gives you the only dual-permit path to impact-rated windows and roofing details that both pass Miami-Dade HVHZ and satisfy the City of Coral Gables Board of Architects on Mediterranean Revival homes. Anyone who skips the second gate is selling you a delay.

Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: One Coral Gables Comparison
Some Coral Gables homeowners still ask whether shutters are enough. Within HVHZ, impact-rated glazing is permanent protection: no panels to pull out of the garage at 9 p.m. with a storm bearing down, no ladders, no storage. Shutters only protect the opening when someone is home, physically able, and has the hardware mounted. Impact windows protect your Coral Gables home every hour of every day, and they carry the NOA paperwork that windstorm inspectors want to see. If you’re weighing the two, come see an impact demo in person. We’ll show you the difference in ten minutes.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Coral Gables
Almost never. The arched openings on Coral Gables Mediterranean Revival homes rarely match a manufacturer’s stock arch radius, so you need custom-radius units with 10-16 week lead times. Call (727) 860-0593 and we’ll measure your actual openings and tell you which ones can be stock and which must be custom.
Because the installer quoted standard lead times. Custom arched laminated glass interlayers, which Coral Gables homes almost always require, run 10-16 weeks once the glass hits the fabrication queue. Anyone quoting you a three-week timeline on custom Coral Gables glass has not ordered it before. We tell you the real lead time in writing before we take a deposit.
Yes. Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone requires impact-rated glazing on every opening. Shutter-only compliance paths that work in inland counties are not accepted within HVHZ. In Coral Gables, you need Miami-Dade Product Approved impact units, and they must also pass Board of Architects review.
Most carriers in Florida issue windstorm-premium credits after a wind-mitigation inspection, commonly averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy once impact-rated glazing is documented. The exact number is set by your carrier and your policy, not by us. We provide the NOA paperwork and installation documentation that inspections require.
Yes, and faster than most people expect. Salt air within two miles of Biscayne Bay accelerates galvanic corrosion on aluminum frames and hardware. We specify thermal-break framing and corrosion-resistant hardware for Coral Gables homes close to the water, and we’ve seen standard frames pit and seize in under a decade. It’s a material selection issue, and it’s avoidable if you choose the right frame before installation. Call (727) 860-0593 for an assessment of what’s on your home now.
