Fast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Margate
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Margate comes down to one reality: every roof in this city is already inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That means the flashing, the underlayment, the attachment method, and the window-to-wall connection all have to meet Miami-Dade NOA standards, not just look right from the curb. Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team works Margate neighborhoods from Oriole Gardens to the 33063 corridor every week, and we quote the job the way a forty-year local would: inspection first, numbers in writing, no surprises after the tear-off. Call (754) 310-3589 to schedule a free roof and opening assessment.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Margate’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that has not changed since: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies to the roof deck, the underlayment, the flashing, and every window buck we touch. Margate homeowners call us because we understand what a 1960s CBS ranch actually looks like once the first course of shingles comes up. We have pulled original 1963 roof decking on Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Margate jobs and found corroded jalousie frames, rotted furring strips, and flashing that was never lapped correctly in the first place. A live person answers the phone 24/7, seven days a week. Uniformed, background-checked technicians measure every opening twice and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
We are not the cheapest bid in Margate. Homeowners who have been burned once are not looking for that. They are looking for a company that stands behind the work, that pulls permits when the code requires them, that shows up when we say. We have served South Florida communities for over 42 years through Dale’s craft tradition, and we plan to be in Margate in thirty years answering the phone.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Margate
Shingle Roof Replacement
Margate’s original 1960s and 1970s homes were built when three-tab asphalt was the standard. Most of those roofs have been through two or three hurricanes and are at the end of their service life. We tear off to the deck, inspect every rafter and furring strip, replace rotted wood, install code-compliant synthetic underlayment, and re-flash every wall intersection, pipe boot, and valley. A typical shingle re-roof on a 3/2 CBS ranch in Margate runs from tear-off through final inspection with no shortcuts on the nail pattern.

Tile Roof Repair and Replacement
Flat barrel and S-tile roofs appear on many of Margate’s late-1970s and 1980s homes. The tile itself often survives, but the underlayment beneath it fails after decades of South Florida humidity. We lift and reset tile, replace the underlayment, and re-bed ridge caps. When a tile roof in Margate needs full replacement, we reuse sound tile where code allows and install new HVHZ-rated attachment where it does not.

Metal Roof Installation
Standing-seam and stone-coated metal roofs are increasingly common on Margate homes because they handle the HVHZ wind speeds and shed rain fast. We install metal roofing with the same attention to the window-to-wall connection that governs every Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing job we run. Margate’s older CBS homes often need structural strapping upgrades at the eave before a metal roof goes down, and we price that into the quote instead of discovering it mid-job.

Roof-to-Wall Flashing and Window Integration
This is the work that separates a roof that stays dry from one that leaks for thirty years. In Margate, the original aluminum window frames on 1960s homes oxidize where the jamb meets the stucco, and every rain event wicks water behind the wall. When we re-roof, we inspect the flashing at every window intersection. If the opening has failed, we fix it before the new underlayment goes down. A roof is only as dry as the wall it ties into.

Trusted Brands We Service in Margate
We carry and service lines that meet Broward County HVHZ requirements, including CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. These are impact-rated manufacturers with Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval listings per configuration. For Margate homeowners, that means the window you put in after a roofing job opens up a wall is actually code-compliant on inspection day, not just something the supply house said would pass. We stock common flashing profiles, sealants, and replacement hardware for the brands we install, so a follow-up trip back to the house is a rare event.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Margate Homes
- Failed flashing at original 1960s window intersections. The aluminum frame oxidizes at the jamb meets, water gets behind the stucco, and the CBS furring strips rot out. By the time a roofer sees the leak at the ceiling, the window buck is already gone.
- Corroded jalousie windows that cannot be retrofitted. Margate’s earliest neighborhoods east of State Road 7 still have louvered glass in bathrooms and secondary bedrooms. No retrofit film or shutter makes them code-compliant under HVHZ. They have to be framed out and replaced.
- Failed tile underlayment hidden by intact tile. The barrel tile on a Margate roof can look fine from the street while the underlayment underneath has been wicking water for a decade. We find this on tile roofs throughout the 33063 zip code.
- Seized sash balances on old double-hungs. Years of salt-laden air and humidity seize the balances, owners yank the sash hard enough to crack the glass, the sealed unit fogs, and what looks like a roof leak at the window head is actually failed insulated glass.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Margate, FL
A full shingle re-roof on a typical 3/2 CBS ranch in Margate runs from $11,000 to $18,000 depending on deck repair, flashing scope, and whether any jalousie windows need to be framed out and replaced at the same time. Tile roof underlayment replacement on the same home typically runs $9,000 to $16,000. Standing-seam metal on a Margate ranch starts around $22,000 and goes up with eave strapping upgrades and opening count. The single biggest cost mover in this city is what a permit triggers once a wall is open: if the inspector flags non-compliant louvered openings, the framing work doubles. We walk every Margate roof with you, write the numbers on paper, and hand you a fixed quote before any work starts. Call (754) 310-3589 to schedule your free roof and opening assessment.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Margate
Roofing and windows are typically bid together in Margate because the HVHZ inspection hits both at once. Impact windows on their own run $800 to $1,500 per window installed for standard openings, $900 to $1,800 for impact single-hung units, and $2,500 to $5,000 for large or custom openings that require new framing. A whole-home package on a Margate CBS ranch, including a full re-roof and impact retrofit, lands between $30,000 and $55,000 depending on opening count, floor height, and how many jalousie frame-outs the permit triggers. We measure every opening on paper, quote manufacturer lines side by side, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. The estimate is free. No obligation. No second appointment left hanging.
Florida Pays You Back
Margate homeowners stack three incentives on top of a re-roof and impact window retrofit. My Safe Florida Home matching grants offer up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, though availability changes by program cycle. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. Most Margate homeowners also see roughly a 25% reduction on the windstorm portion of their premium after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150. We do not set the program rules or the carrier numbers. We will tell you which of these apply to your project and let you confirm the final figure with your insurer. Comparing impact windows to hurricane shutters tells the story: shutters hang in the garage until the storm comes, and someone has to be home to put them up. Impact windows protect the house every day, permanently, with a design pressure rating matched to the opening, never exceeding +/-100 PSF. Big-box retail installs often miss the jalousie frame-out work a Margate permit triggers, and the homeowner finds out on inspection day. A licensed impact specialist finds it before the first nail goes in.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Margate
Yes, in almost every case. The flashing at the intersection of the roof and wall is the first place water gets in on a 1960s Margate CBS home, and the old aluminum window frames have usually corroded at that exact point. When the inspector checks the permit for your impact retrofit, they will look at the flashing. If it failed, the window work stops until it is fixed. We bid the flashing work into the quote up front so there is no stop-work order and no surprise change order. Call (754) 310-3589 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Jalousie windows are louvered glass units with no structural frame capable of holding an impact-rated glazing package or taking a large-missile hit. No retrofit film, caulk, or storm panel makes them code-compliant under Broward County’s HVHZ requirements. The only compliant path is to frame out the entire opening and set a new impact window with a Miami-Dade NOA. This is the most common scope surprise on Margate re-roofs and window permits. We catch it during the free inspection, before the job starts, so the contract reflects it.
The frame comes out. Corrosion at the jamb meets oxidizes the aluminum until it swells and cracks, and the stucco around it has usually been wicking water for years. A roofer cannot lap new underlayment into a failed frame and call it dry. We cut the frame out, inspect the CBS furring strips behind it, replace any rotted wood, frame a clean opening, and set a new impact window before the underlayment and shingles go down. This is exactly the work we did on an Oriole Gardens re-roof recently. The original 1963 roof deck was pulled back, and three jalousie windows in the master bath and back bedrooms had weep holes sealed shut with oxide. Those louvered units could not stay. We framed out all three openings, set new PGT 5500 single-hung impact windows with Miami-Dade NOA, and flashed the new bucking into the new underlayment before the shingles went down. The homeowner’s only comment was that the bathroom finally stopped fogging up after every shower.
In most cases, yes. The wind-mitigation inspection that follows a compliant impact window and roof retrofit typically results in a reduction on the windstorm portion of your premium, commonly around 25%. The carrier sets the final number. We give you the documentation the inspector needs: NOA numbers, design pressure ratings per opening, and the permit close-out from the city. Call (754) 310-3589 to schedule the free assessment and get the paperwork started.
They can be left in place, but they will still be non-impact, non-compliant with current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements, and decades past service life. A window does not have to be actively leaking to be a liability. On a Margate re-roof, leaving original single-pane aluminum frames in place also leaves the weakest point in the building envelope untreated, and the inspector may flag the openings when the roof permit is under review. We will give you a straight answer on every opening, with the numbers on paper, and let you decide. Estimates are free.
