Call (941) 267-0779 and a live person answers, 24/7.

What Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Service Includes
Shingle Roofing
Shingle roofing remains the most common choice in Sarasota neighborhoods like Bee Ridge and Fruitville because it balances upfront cost with reliable performance. Architectural asphalt shingles with a 130 mph wind rating handle most named storms when installed with the right underlayment and nailing pattern. Winslow strips the old roof to decking, inspects for moisture damage that other crews miss, and installs shingle systems with synthetic underlayment and code-compliant flashing at every penetration.

Tile Roofing
Tile roofing is what you see on most homes west of the Trail in Sarasota, and for good reason: concrete and clay tile shrug off salt spray better than almost any other material. The catch is weight. Many Osprey and Sarasota homes built before the 1990s need a structural assessment before tile goes on, and cracked tiles from foot traffic or storm debris need replacement before leaks find the underlayment. Winslow’s crew knows the difference between a cosmetic crack and a tile that’s compromised the system, and we repoint, reset, and replace tile the way the original installer intended.

Metal Roofing
Metal roofing in Sarasota has moved past the barn look. Standing seam and stone-coated steel profiles now cover everything from Siesta Key modern builds to Lakewood Ranch estates, and they routinely carry 140+ mph wind ratings that insurers reward with premium discounts. The hidden cost is in the details: expansion and contraction from Sarasota’s temperature swings, corrosion at dissimilar metal contact points, and fastener backout. Winslow specifies the right panel profile, gauge, and fastener system for our humidity and salt exposure, not for a warehouse in Ohio.

Roof Repair
Roof repair in Sarasota usually starts with a small stain on a ceiling or a granule trail in the gutter. What you can’t see is whether water has reached the decking and whether the leak is at the source or traveling along a truss. Winslow’s techs trace leaks with moisture meters and infrared cameras when needed, then fix the issue at the source. A repair that costs $385 today beats a $14,000 deck replacement in three years.

Roof Replacement
Roof replacement in Sarasota is a code-driven process. Since the 2001 Florida Building Code updates, underlayment, secondary water barriers, and nail patterns all have county-specific requirements, and pulling a permit is non-negotiable. Winslow pulls the permit, schedules the inspection, and installs to pass the first time. You get a written line-item quote before work starts, and the price doesn’t wander.

Roof Installation
New roof installation on a Sarasota new build or addition means coordinating with the general contractor, truss schedule, and the building department. Winslow has installed roofs on custom homes from Nokomis to Bradenton since 2011. We show up when the framing is ready, not when it’s convenient for our schedule, and the roof goes on tight before the first afternoon thunderstorm finds the opening.

Our technicians train on PGT specifications and stock the OEM components that keep warranties intact.
CGI and CWS both build for the Florida coastal market, and we service and install their product lines across Sarasota and Manatee counties. ES Windows rounds out the premium lineup we’re authorized to install. Whether your project calls for PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, or another make, our crew diagnoses issues at the system level, not panel by panel, and the fix comes with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise.
Signs You Need Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Right Now
- Granules in the gutter or at downspout outlets. Asphalt shingles shed granules as the asphalt binder breaks down under Sarasota’s UV load. If you’re seeing a tablespoon of granules per linear foot of gutter after a rain, the shingles are past mid-life even if they look fine from the street.
- Daylight through the attic or ridge vent at noon. Go into the attic on a sunny day and look for pinholes of light. Light means a gap, and a gap means wind-driven rain gets in during the same storms that took your neighbor’s lanai screen.
- A cracked or slipped tile you can see from the ground. One cracked tile is a $85 repair if you catch it early. A cracked tile that’s been ignored through one rainy season becomes rotted underlayment and a $2,000 repair. Call before the next named storm is in the Gulf.
- Rust streaks or fastener backout on a metal roof. Rust at fasteners or seams means the coating has failed and water is finding the hole. In Sarasota’s salt air, that corrosion accelerates, and a panel replacement now is half the cost of sheathing repair later.
- Your roof is 15 years old or older and the insurance renewal letter is in the mail. Sarasota insurers now require wind mitigation inspections and roof condition documentation before renewal on older roofs. A roof that’s on its last five years can trigger non-renewal. Winslow’s crew documents what we find and installs to current wind mitigation standards.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process - Step by Step
- 1
Call or stop by. You call (941) 267-0779 and a live person answers, any hour. We schedule a time that works around your job, not our commute, and you get the tech’s name before he rolls up. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed.
- 2
The roof assessment. We inspect the roof surface, flashing, underlayment, decking from the attic, and drainage. When a leak’s origin isn’t obvious, we use moisture meters and infrared cameras to find where water is actually traveling. You get a written report with photos, not a salesman’s verbal summary.
- 3
The line-item quote. Ed Winslow prices every job himself. You get the number up front, broken down by material, labor, and permit fees. No allowances for “unforeseen conditions.” If the price moves, we eat it, not you.
- 4
The work. Our crew shows up on the scheduled day, protects your landscaping and pool cage, and works until the roof is done or the weather stops us. On replacements, we strip, dry in, and re-cover in the same day whenever the size allows. The permit gets pulled before we start, and the inspection gets scheduled before we leave.
- 5
The walkthrough and the promise. Ed or a senior tech walks the job with you before the final check clears. If anything isn’t done right, the 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we make it right. It’s a hundred-year standard because Ed plans to be around for it.
How Much Does Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Cost in Sarasota?
A shingle roof replacement on a typical 2,000-square-foot Sarasota home runs $11,000 to $18,000, with architectural shingles and new underlayment. Tile roofs on the same footprint run $24,000 to $38,000, varying by tile profile, underlayment system, and whether we’re reusing existing tile or starting fresh. Metal roofing lands between $18,000 and $32,000, with standing seam at the high end and stone-coated steel profiles in the middle.
What moves the price: roof slope and complexity (a 12/12 pitch on a Bee Ridge two-story costs more in labor than a 4/12 ranch), the condition of existing decking (rotted decking from years of a slow leak adds $3 to $6 per square foot), and access (a tile roof on a lakefront lot in Nokomis with no crane access costs more than a front-lot tear-off). You avoid overpaying by getting a line-item quote that separates material, labor, and permit fees, and by checking that the contractor pulls the permit and schedules the inspection. Winslow’s written estimates are free, and we’ll give you a second opinion on any competitor’s written estimate at no charge. A roof replacement is a five-figure decision, and you should see the entire number before you sign anything. Call (941) 267-0779 and we’ll walk the roof with you.

Frequently Asked Questions - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Sarasota
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing are the three primary roof systems installed on Sarasota homes, and each performs differently in our coastal climate. Shingle roofing uses asphalt-based material, tile roofing uses concrete or clay formed into overlapping profiles, and metal roofing uses steel or aluminum panels in standing seam or stone-coated profiles. Winslow installs and repairs all three, and the right choice depends on your home’s structure, HOA requirements, and insurance goals. Call (941) 267-0779 for a material comparison based on your specific roof.
Most full shingle roof replacements in Sarasota take 3 to 5 days from tear-off to final inspection. Tile roofs run 5 to 7 days because of the setting and curing time. Metal roofs typically take 4 to 6 days depending on panel profile and roof complexity. The permit wait adds days before work starts, and Winslow pulls the permit as soon as you approve the quote.
A shingle roof on an average Sarasota home runs $11,000 to $18,000, tile runs $24,000 to $38,000, and metal runs $18,000 to $32,000, all depending on square footage, roof complexity, and decking condition. You get a free line-item estimate with material, labor, and permit fees separated so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Call (941) 267-0779 and Ed will price your roof personally.

Our crew protects landscaping and walkways, and we’ll tell you anything else specific to your home during the pre-work walkthrough.
