Fast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Greenacres
Shingle, tile, and metal roof replacement in Greenacres typically runs $9,500 to $28,000 depending on roof size, material choice, and the condition of the existing decking. Most Greenacres homes need a full tear-off rather than a re-cover, and we complete standard re-roofs in 3 to 5 days once materials are staged. If you’re weighing shingle versus tile versus metal, the honest answer is that each makes sense for different Greenacres homes, and we’ll walk you through the trade-offs before you commit. Call (561) 782-7525 for a free roof assessment and a written, line-item quote.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team has worked on hundreds of homes across Greenacres, from the original CBS tract houses near Melaleuca Lane to the newer subdivisions off Jog Road. We know what 40-plus years of Palm Beach County sun, humidity, and hurricane seasons do to a roof deck, and we price the real work, not a best-case scenario.
Key Takeaways
- Shingle re-roofs in Greenacres typical range: $9,500 to $16,500 for a standard 1,600-2,200 sq ft single-story CBS home.
- Tile roof replacement: $18,000 to $28,000, often requiring structural review because Greenacres’s older trusses weren’t designed for concrete tile weight.
- Metal roof installation: $14,000 to $24,000 depending on profile and whether you choose standing seam or an exposed-fastener panel.
- Every legitimate Greenacres roof job pulls a Palm Beach County permit. If someone offers to skip it, your insurance company could deny future claims.
- Wind zone matters: Greenacres sits in a 140-150 mph design wind speed area, which changes fastening patterns and underlayment requirements versus coastal cities.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Greenacres’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
We’re not a franchise roofing outfit that flies crews in from another county. Winslow Windows & Doors is owned by Ed Winslow, and Ed’s name is on the door and on every roof we install in Greenacres. Since 2011, we’ve built our reputation in Palm Beach County on showing up when we say we will, answering the phone with a live person, and standing behind our work through the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s the whole promise.
Greenacres homeowners call us because our crews understand CBS construction from the 1970s and 1980s, the truss systems that era produced, and what happens to plywood decking after four decades of Florida humidity. We pull permits on every Greenacres job. We schedule inspections and stay through the final sign-off. And when we hand you a written quote, that’s the number on the invoice unless we discover something structural that required a signed change order first. No surprise invoices. No vague verbal commitments.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s in your driveway before the ladder goes up. And if you call at any hour, a person answers. Not a voicemail tree, not a call center. That’s been true since day one, and it’s not changing.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Greenacres
Greenacres housing stock demands more than a one-size-fits-all roofing pitch. The city’s homes are mostly modest single-story CBS builds from the 1970s and 1980s, many still carrying the original roof framing and decking. Here’s what we actually do for Greenacres residents:
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement
Architectural shingle re-roofs are the most common job we handle in Greenacres. Most older CBS homes in the city have shallow-pitch roofs that shed water well but bake under direct Palm Beach County sun, which degrades shingles faster than homeowners expect. We install dimensional shingles rated for 130 mph wind uplift, with synthetic underlayment that outperforms the old felt paper. A typical Greenacres shingle tear-off runs 3-4 days from first nail to final inspection.

Tile Roof Replacement and Repair
Tile roofs look right at home on Greenacres’s Mediterranean-influenced newer builds, but here’s what matters: the original 1970s truss systems in many older Greenacres homes were never engineered for concrete tile weight. Before we quote tile, we look at the truss layout and the existing decking. If the structure can’t handle the load, we’ll tell you before you spend a dollar, and we’ll present alternatives. For homes that can support tile, we replace broken barrels, re-bed and re-point where needed, and do full tile tear-offs with proper underlayment.

Metal Roof Installation
Metal roofs are gaining traction in Greenacres for a practical reason: standing seam panels reflect more heat than shingles, and with Palm Beach County’s 12-month cooling load, that matters on your FPL bill. We install standing seam and exposed-fastener profiles, both rated for Greenacres’s inland wind zone. Installation on a standard Greenacres ranch takes 4-5 days, and we use the same Done Right Promise on metal that we use on everything else.

Roof Repair and Storm Damage Work
After a named storm or a strong afternoon thunderstorm rolls through Greenacres, we get calls about lifted shingles, missing tile, punctured decking, and water getting into ceilings. We respond fast, tarp when needed, and document damage for insurance claims. If your adjuster’s number looks low, we’ll help you understand what a full repair actually requires in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, and we’ll quote the fix at a fair number.

Trusted Brands We Service in Greenacres
We install roofing systems from manufacturers we trust, and we stock common replacement components for Greenacres homes so we don’t have to wait on a distributor for routine repairs. That means faster turnaround when your roof leaks and you need it fixed this week, not next month. We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and CWS products, and we match the roofing system to the specific exposure and wind requirements of your Greenacres street, not just the county minimum. If you have a PGT WinGuard skylight or roof-adjacent impact product that needs coordination with your new roof, we handle that as part of the same job.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Decking rot from slow leaks. Greenacres’s high humidity and frequent afternoon storms mean a small shingle lift or cracked tile can quietly soak plywood decking for years before you see a ceiling stain. By the time we tear off in Greenacres, we routinely find decking replacement needs that change the quote. We write allowances for this into our contracts so it’s not a shock.
- Original underlayment failure on tile roofs. The 1980s tile roofs across Greenacres’s older subdivisions often sit on underlayment that crumbled a decade ago. The tile looks fine from the street, but moisture is getting through. We catch this during inspections and quote the full fix, not a band-aid.
- Wind-lifted shingles along the eaves. Greenacres sits inland but still sees design wind speeds of 140-150 mph. Original shingle roofs from the 2000s boom years in Greenacres were often nailed to minimum code and now lift along the eaves and rakes after every storm season. We re-nail to current Palm Beach County fastening schedules.
- Improper flashing at CBS parapet walls. Many Greenacres flat-roof sections and parapet wall intersections leak because the original metal flashing corroded or was never properly counter-flashed. We cut into the stucco, replace the flashing, and re-seal so water stops driving into the wall cavity.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Greenacres, FL
Here’s what a roof actually costs in Greenacres right now, based on the jobs we’ve priced across the city over the last couple of years. A standard architectural shingle tear-off and re-roof on a 1,800 sq ft single-story Greenacres CBS home runs $9,500 to $14,500. Tile replacement runs $18,000 to $26,000 when the structure supports it, and metal runs $14,000 to $22,000 for typical Greenacres roof geometries. What moves the price: decking replacement discovered during tear-off, truss reinforcement needs on tile jobs, the number of roof penetrations (skylights, vent stacks, plumbing boots), and whether we need to replace corroded flashing at parapets or wall intersections. Every Greenacres quote is free and line-itemed, and we write decking allowances into the contract so a rotted section doesn’t blow up your budget without your written approval.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Greenacres
We price Greenacres roofing jobs as a package, not per individual component, because the roof is a system. But if you’re cross-shopping, here are honest anchors for the roof-adjacent products we also install on Greenacres homes. Impact windows run $800 to $1,500 per window installed for standard sizes; impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800; large or custom openings like a big picture window or a sliding glass door replacement run $2,500 to $5,000 each. Whole-home impact packages on Greenacres’s typical 1,400-2,000 sq ft CBS homes run $8,000 to $25,000+ depending on opening count, floor height, and frame material. The roof itself is a separate line item, and we’ll give you a single combined quote if you’re doing both. Call (561) 782-7525 for a free in-home measure and written quote. No obligation, no pressure.
And one comparison worth making before you pull the trigger. If you’re deciding between impact windows and hurricane shutters, know this: shutters lower your windstorm premium but only work if you’re home and strong enough to haul them out, hang them, and secure them before every storm. Impact windows work all the time, require zero effort, and also block the year-round heat and UV that Greenacres homes soak up. We install PGT and CGI impact products, and we’ll show you the real numbers for your specific openings, not a brochure estimate.
Florida Pays You Back
Greenacres homeowners have access to real incentives that knock down the cost of roofing and window replacement. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including roof and impact window work, but funding is limited and you need an approved wind-mitigation inspection first. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from state sales tax, which saves you 6% on the product cost off the top. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after you complete a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), most carrier credits land around 25% off the windstorm portion of your premium. These are state and federal programs, so the final numbers come from your insurance carrier and your tax preparer, not from us. But we’ll point you to the right paperwork and help you document the completed work properly.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Greenacres
No. Jalousie windows cannot be retrofitted with impact glazing. Their multi-louvered design has no structural frame that can hold an impact-rated panel, so any insurer flagging jalousies on a four-point inspection will force full-unit replacement. In Greenacres, where hundreds of 1970s CBS homes still carry original jalousies, this usually means reframing the opening because the old rough opening sizes don’t match modern impact window dimensions. We quote the reframing as part of the replacement, not as a surprise add-on. Call (561) 782-7525 for a free assessment of your jalousie openings.
The homes built in Greenacres during the 1970s and 1980s used aluminum jalousie and single-pane slider frames with non-standard rough openings. Modern impact-rated windows, which Palm Beach County requires in the wind-borne debris region, have different dimensions and need proper headers, jamb reinforcement, and hold-downs. When we open the wall, we often find the original header is undersized for current wind loads, so we reframe it. This is a permit-triggered code upgrade, and we write a change order with a specific price and get your signed approval before touching the frame. On a 1978 CBS home off Jog Road near Greenacres Community Park, our crew opened the wall around a rusted-out aluminum sliding glass door and found exactly this: non-standard rough opening, undersized header. We wrote the change order on the spot, reframed the opening to accept a PGT WinGuard insulated impact door, and got the permit inspection passed on the first visit.
Greenacres’s original single-pane aluminum windows transmit heat directly into your home, which means your AC runs longer from March through November. Impact-rated insulated windows, like the PGT WinGuard and CGI units we install, cut that thermal transfer significantly. The exact savings depend on your home’s orientation, shading, and AC settings, but Greenacres homeowners routinely see double-digit percentage drops in cooling load after replacing single-pane aluminum with insulated impact units. The federal 25C energy credit on qualifying units adds to the math. We’ll measure your openings and show you the upgrade options with real product specs.
Yes, in most cases. After you complete a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150, most Florida carriers apply a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy when impact-rated windows and doors are documented. The exact discount comes from your carrier and your specific policy, not from us. We provide the product approval documentation and installation details your inspector needs, and we’ll make sure the paperwork is complete. Call (561) 782-7525 if you want to walk through the wind-mitigation process step by step.
We document it, we price the fix, and we get your written approval before we do anything. Greenacres’s failed waterproofing around old aluminum frames is common, because four decades of humidity and rain slowly rot the CBS wall substrate and the sill area behind the frame. When we find it, we remove the damaged material, repair the sill pan, install proper flashing, and then set the new impact window or door. You’ll see the exact line item and cost on a change order before any work proceeds. Nothing gets buried in the final invoice. That’s how we’ve operated in Greenacres since we started, and it’s why our customers stick with us for every window, door, and roof project on their home.
What Opening Up an Older Greenacres Home Actually Turns Up
This is the part no one tells you when you’re shopping window and door replacement in Greenacres. The city’s housing stock is overwhelmingly 1970s and 1980s CBS tract homes, and those homes were built to standards that no longer apply in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region. Every window replacement, every sliding glass door swap, every opening we touch becomes a compliance event. The original aluminum jalousie windows and single-pane aluminum sliders can’t meet impact requirements, so the county permit forces full-unit replacement, and often forces reframing too.
What we regularly find when we open those walls: undersized or deteriorated framing that must be upgraded once it’s visible to the inspector, failed waterproofing that rotted the sill and surrounding substrate, and original rough openings that don’t match any modern impact unit’s dimensions. The homeowners who are prepared for this process move through it smoothly. The ones who aren’t prepared get a surprise change order after the wall is open. We don’t do business that way.
Here’s how we handle it. We inspect the openings before we write the contract. We include allowances for the code-mandated reframing and waterproofing repair we can predict. When we open a wall and find something we couldn’t predict, we stop, write a change order with a specific price and a specific reason, and get your signature before we touch the frame. You approve every dollar before we spend it. That’s not a marketing line. It’s how we’ve run every Greenacres job since 2011, and it’s why our inspection pass rate on Greenacres permit jobs is what it is.
