Fast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Highland Beach
Roofing in Highland Beach isn’t like roofing anywhere else in Palm Beach County. The town sits on a sliver of barrier island where Atlantic salt spray hits your roof from the east while Intracoastal Waterway salt-fog rolls in from the west. There is no inland buffer, no sheltered side. That dual-front exposure eats standard roof flashings, fasteners, and underlayments years faster than what you’d see in Boca Raton or Delray Beach, and it means the materials, fastening patterns, and installation details have to be chosen for corrosion resistance first. Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team knows exactly what that requires. Call (561) 816-5648 and you’ll reach a live person, not a voicemail tree.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Highland Beach’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Ed Winslow started this company in 2011 and put his name on the door, which changes how we approach every roof in Highland Beach. When a condo board calls us about a failing tile roof on A1A, or an oceanfront homeowner needs a standing seam metal system that can survive the next named storm, we treat the job like our own roof is underneath it. No ticket numbers, no subcontractor roulette. The crew that quotes your roof is the crew that installs it.
This market demands precision. Highland Beach’s older condo towers, most built between the 1960s and 1980s, have architectural committees that review every roofing component down to the profile and color. We’ve sat in those meetings. We’ve walked those roofs. We understand the HOA sign-off process before a permit gets pulled, because getting that sequence wrong in this town means a stop-work order. That local experience is why building managers and homeowners keep calling us back.
Every technician who arrives in Highland Beach is background-checked and wears a Winslow uniform, so you always know who’s on your property. We answer the phone 24/7. And if the work isn’t done right, the 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we make it right. Ed’s name is on the door – and on every job we do.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Highland Beach
Every roof system we install in Highland Beach starts with the same conversation: what’s the exposure, what’s the wind code requirement, and what does the HOA or building department need to see before we order materials. Here’s how the main service lines break down.
Tile Roofing Installation and Repair
Concrete and clay tile dominate Highland Beach’s mid-rise and estate rooflines. The problem here isn’t usually the tile itself, it’s the underlayment and fasteners. Salt-fog cycling and intense subtropical UV bake the underlayment until it’s brittle, and wind-driven rain finds the cracks. We install high-grade synthetic underlayments and HVHZ-rated tile fastening systems rated for Palm Beach County’s coastal wind zone. For homes and condos along A1A where the HOA requires matching profile and color, we coordinate with the architectural committee before the first tile comes off.

Metal Roofing Installation and Repair
Standing seam and architectural metal roofs are becoming the smart long-term play in Highland Beach, especially on buildings where tile weight is a concern or where the board wants a 40-plus-year lifespan. But standard metal roofing fails fast here. Off-the-shelf flashing and fasteners corrode within 5 to 10 years under dual salt-fog exposure. We specify marine-grade, Miami-Dade NOA-approved systems with enhanced fastening patterns matched to design pressure calculations. On a 1970s condo tower along A1A, our crew replaced the original metal roofing with a Miami-Dade NOA-approved standing seam system after the HOA architectural committee required matching the original profile and color. We documented the existing wind mitigation deficiencies and installed a new high-wind-rated system with enhanced fastening to meet current Palm Beach County design pressures.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Shingle roofs in Highland Beach are common on the smaller single-family homes and some townhome clusters west of A1A. The trick here is choosing shingles rated for high wind uplift and pairing them with corrosion-resistant fasteners. A standard nail corrodes quickly in this salt environment. We use hot-dipped galvanized or stainless fasteners and peel-and-stick underlayment at eaves and penetrations, where wind-driven rain always finds its way in.

Custom Millwork for Architectural Edge Metal and Trim
This is where Winslow separates from the roofing crews that only know commodity installs. Older Highland Beach buildings have distinctive edge metal profiles, parapet caps, and trim details that off-the-shelf pieces can’t match. We fabricate custom millwork and cabinetry for architectural edge metal and trim to match original profiles, which matters when an HOA demands visual continuity across an entire building elevation. The same shop that handles our custom door and window trim handles this work, so the finish quality lines up.

Architectural Glass and Specialty Finishes for Skylights and Transitions
Highland Beach’s larger custom estates and a few of the newer oceanfront builds incorporate skylights, glass roof transitions, and specialty glazing into their roof systems. Those openings are exactly where leaks start when salt corrodes the glazing frame or the sealant line. We install impact-rated architectural glass and specialty finishes around roof penetrations, matched to the structural opening and rated for the wind zone. Getting the flashing detail right around a coastal skylight is not a place for guesswork.

Designer and Architect Coordination
For anything beyond a straightforward replacement, we work directly with Highland Beach architects and designers from the spec phase through final inspection. That includes preparing HOA submission packets, documenting design pressure calculations, and confirming product approval numbers before materials get ordered. Long-lead items set the true schedule on custom tile and metal roofs, and we map that timeline honestly before you sign anything. The price is fixed in writing before we order a single sheet of metal or pallet of tile.

Trusted Brands We Service in Highland Beach
Winslow is an authorized installer for eight premium brands, and the ones that matter most for Highland Beach roofing projects are Mr-Glass, PGT, and ViewLux. When a roof-adjacent window, skylight, or sliding glass door needs to match the impact rating of the roof system itself, we’re not sourcing unknown product from a supply house. We order directly from manufacturers we’re certified to install, which matters when a Palm Beach County inspector asks for the product approval paperwork. For Highland Beach customers, that certification means faster turnaround on custom sizes and no ambiguity about whether the glazing actually meets HVHZ requirements.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Highland Beach Homes
- Corroded metal flashings and fasteners within 5 to 10 years. Standard flashing stock can’t handle simultaneous ocean and Intracoastal salt-fog. The failure shows up first at pipe penetrations, valleys, and parapet caps, and the leak that follows is never where the corrosion is visible.
- Brittle, delaminated tile underlayment. The UV here is relentless, and salt doesn’t help. Underlayment that should last 20 years turns brittle and separates from the deck in half that time, which is why we see wind-driven rain intrusion through otherwise intact tile fields.
- Tile loss on older roofs without HVHZ-rated attachments. A roof that survived 30 years on mortar-set tile is no longer compliant with current wind codes. When a storm hits, loose tiles become projectiles and the water damage cascades through the condo units below.
- HOA and building department conflicts over unapproved repairs. A contractor patches a section of roof without architectural committee sign-off, the town’s building department issues a stop-work order, and the building sits half-exposed for weeks. We’ve seen it happen more than once in this town.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Highland Beach, FL
Roof pricing in Highland Beach runs higher than inland Palm Beach County, and the reason is specific: materials have to be corrosion-rated, fastening has to meet HVHZ wind codes, and HOA coordination adds a layer of process that doesn’t exist elsewhere. Asphalt shingle roofs on smaller homes here generally start around $8,000 to $14,000 for a full tear-off and replacement. Tile roofs run $18,000 to $45,000 depending on the deck condition and whether we’re doing a full fastening retrofit. Metal roofs are the most variable, from $22,000 on a simple residential profile to $60,000-plus on a large condo tower with custom edge metal and crane work. Every quote includes the same thing: a written line item breakdown, a fixed price, and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise behind the work. Call (561) 816-5648 to schedule a free in-home measure and we’ll put the exact number in writing.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Highland Beach
If you’re budgeting, here’s the honest range for Highland Beach. Impact-rated roof-adjacent windows and skylights typically run $800 to $1,500 per window installed, single-hung impact units go $900 to $1,800, and large custom openings on oceanfront estates can reach $2,500 to $5,000 apiece. A whole-home package including roof and impact glazing starts around $8,000 and climbs past $25,000 on the high end. What moves the price here is opening count, the specific wind zone your building falls under, floor height (crane time is real money on a 12th-floor condo), and whether the HOA requires custom profiles or finishes. We measure, we quote, and we fix the price before you commit. The free in-home measure is yours for the asking.
Florida Pays You Back
There’s real money available for Highland Beach homeowners who upgrade to code-compliant impact roofing and glazing. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and Florida waives sales tax on impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit adds up to 30% of product cost on qualifying units, capped at $600 per year. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically runs $75 to $150, many Highland Beach homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We’ll point you to the programs, but carriers and the state set the final numbers, so we won’t promise a dollar figure we can’t document. One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters are cheaper up front, but you’re hanging panels at 2 a.m. while the storm rolls in. Impact-rated glazing is permanent protection, no panels to install, no storage to figure out, and no forgetting to close up before you evacuate. For Highland Beach, where evacuation is a real possibility, that difference matters.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Highland Beach
Yes. In Highland Beach’s condo towers, the architectural committee must sign off on the replacement roofing profile, color, and material before the town’s building department will process the permit. Skipping that step is the fastest way to get a stop-work order, and we’ve seen capable contractors lose weeks over it. We prepare the HOA submission package as part of our process, so the sequence is handled before the first lift drops materials on the roof. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll walk your board through the exact paperwork required.
Any roof-adjacent window, skylight, or glazed transition in Highland Beach must carry a Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA rating matched to the wind zone and design pressure of the specific opening. That means impact-rated glazing, not standard annealed glass, and the rating has to be documented per opening. We specify the right product approval numbers for your configuration during the estimate, not after the inspector asks for them. Estimates are free – call (561) 816-5648.
Highland Beach’s narrow barrier island means every roof gets hit by salt-fog from the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. Standard metal coatings and fasteners can fail within 5 to 10 years under that load, and tile underlayment becomes brittle and delaminates much faster than inland or single-frontage coastal sites. The fix is marine-grade materials specified for dual exposure from the start, which costs a little more up front and saves a large amount later. Call (561) 816-5648 for an exact quote on a marine-rated system.
It can, but the reduction comes through a wind-mitigation inspection that documents the fastening pattern, deck attachment, and roof geometry, not through the roof purchase itself. After the inspection, many Highland Beach condo owners and HOAs see windstorm premium credits on the windstorm portion of the policy, and some carriers apply the same credits to the association master policy. We document everything the inspector needs during installation so nothing gets missed. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll explain what your specific roof will qualify for.
Custom tile profiles, architectural edge metal, impact-rated skylights, and HOA-mandated color matches all carry lead times of 4 to 6 weeks or more once fabrication starts. The labor on a Highland Beach roof is measured in days; the schedule is set by what the manufacturer and mill shop can produce. We order those long-lead items immediately after you sign the fixed-price contract, and we map the timeline honestly so you’re never waiting on a surprise. Call (561) 816-5648 if you want a real schedule, not a hopeful one.
