AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Kendall
Roof replacement in Kendall typically runs $12,000 to $28,000 for a standard shingle roof on a 1,800 to 2,400 square foot CBS home, with tile and metal running higher. Most full tear-offs and replacements finish in 2 to 5 days once materials land. If you’re reading this because your roof is leaking or you just bought a Kendall home with the original 1990s roof, call us at (727) 620-6983 and a real person will answer, day or night.
We know Kendall rooftops. We know the 1970s ranch houses off Kendall Drive, the two-story CBS homes in West End and Country Walk, and the older sections near Snapper Creek where tile roofs from the 1980s are finally giving out. Ed Winslow put his name on this company in 2011, and that name rides on every roof we tear off and every deck we re-sheet.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We’re not a national chain that dispatches a subcontractor you’ll never see twice. We’re locally owned, owner-operated, and our crews work the same Kendall streets you drive every day. The tech who walks your roof is background-checked, uniformed, and answers to Ed Winslow himself.
Kendall homeowners call us repeatedly for one reason: we show up when we say we will, and the roof we install is the roof we quoted. No change-order games once the old roof comes off and rot shows up in the sheathing. Our pricing covers what we find during tear-off, and we document every step with photos so you see what we see.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation team handles shingle, tile, and metal roofing, plus full underlayment replacement and re-decking where Kendall’s humidity has eaten the plywood. Dispatch for Kendall jobs is coordinated from our Miami (South FL) office, and crews know the permitting rhythm of unincorporated Miami-Dade because we work it constantly.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Kendall
Full Shingle Roof Replacement
Most Kendall tract homes built in the 1970s through 1990s were originally roofed with three-tab shingles rated for 20 years. Many are now at year 30. We tear off to the deck, replace rotted sheathing, install synthetic underlayment that handles Kendall’s humidity better than felt, and lay architectural shingles rated for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Expect $12,000 to $22,000 for a typical 2,000 square foot ranch.
Tile Roof Replacement
Kendall has thousands of homes with barrel and flat concrete tile from the 1980s and 1990s. The tiles often outlive the underlayment beneath them. We lift, re-felt with a two-ply modified bitumen underlayment up to current HVHZ code, reset the good tile, and replace broken pieces. A full tile roof replacement in Kendall usually runs $22,000 to $45,000 depending on the tile profile and roof complexity.
Metal Roof Installation
Standing-seam and stone-coated steel roofs are growing in Kendall for a reason: they shrug off hurricane-force wind better than shingles and reflect more of the brutal summer sun. We install 24-gauge standing seam and stone-coated profiles with HVHZ-rated anchoring. A metal roof in Kendall typically lands between $18,000 and $38,000.
Roof Repair and Storm Damage Re-Roof
After a named storm or a rough summer squall line off the Everglades, we mobilize fast for tarping, leak repair, and full insurance-scoped replacement. We work with your adjuster and carrier on scope, and we submit supplement documentation so the replacement matches what Miami-Dade code actually requires.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We install roofing systems from manufacturers we trust, including GAF and CertainTeed shingles, Eagle and Boral tile profiles, and metal systems from Decra and McElroy. Because we also handle impact windows and doors, we carry PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru products on the same truck that handles roofing. If your Kendall re-roof includes replacing skylights, roof-to-wall connections, or adjacent windows, we handle it in one scope so your HVHZ water barrier stays continuous. For Kendall jobs we keep common replacement parts and fasteners stocked locally, which means less waiting on distribution centers when a re-roof uncovers bad flashing or rotted rake boards.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Salt-laden air corroding standard nail heads and flashing – Kendall sits about 12 miles from Biscayne Bay, but the prevailing southeast breeze carries marine air inland all year. Zinc-coated nails and standard galvanized flashing start showing rust within 5 to 7 years on homes near the C-100 and Snapper Creek canals. We specify stainless steel fasteners and copper or lead flashing on every Kendall roof.
- Pre-Andrew underlayment still in place – Homes that survived Hurricane Andrew often kept their original roofing felt because the shingles above didn’t blow off. That 30-year-old felt is now brittle and porous. We find this constantly on the 1980s CBS ranch homes in West End.
- Unpermitted re-roofs from past flips – Kendall’s unincorporated status means county inspectors, not city inspectors, review roof permits. We regularly find roofs that were replaced without a permit, with nail patterns and underlayment that never passed a Miami-Dade HVHZ inspection. Buyers discover this at resale. We pull the county permit and bring it up to current code.
- Valley and pipe boot failures on low-slope ranch roofs – The sprawling single-story footprints common in Kendall put long valleys and dozens of penetrations on the roof. One failing pipe boot on a south-facing wall, baked by Kendall’s UV, pours water into the attic for years before anyone notices.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Kendall, FL
Here’s what we actually quote on Kendall roofs:
| Roof Type | Typical Kendall Range |
|---|---|
| Architectural shingle re-roof (2,000 sq ft) | $12,000 – $22,000 |
| Tile roof replacement (barrel or flat) | $22,000 – $45,000 |
| Standing-seam metal | $18,000 – $38,000 |
| Re-decking (if sheathing is rotted) | $2,000 – $6,000 added |
| Full underlayment replacement under existing tile | $4,000 – $9,000 |
What moves the price in Kendall: roof size, pitch, number of valleys and penetrations, whether you’re in a wind zone requiring upgraded fastening, and how much sheathing needs to come out once we peel back the old roof. Call (727) 620-6983 and we’ll schedule a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote. No change orders after the contract, period.
Why Kendall’s Salt Air Changes the Materials, Not the Schedule
Here’s what we tell every Kendall homeowner before we write a quote: the roof we install five miles inland can’t be the same roof we’d install in, say, Orlando. Kendall’s air is wet, salty, and relentless. Standard fasteners that hold a roof together in central Florida start galvanically corroding here within half a decade because the aluminum drip edge and the zinc nail heads don’t get along in brackish, humid air. Homes within a mile of the C-100 Canal, Snapper Creek, or the lakes around Country Walk deal with this faster than homes further west.
So we specify stainless steel nails, stainless or copper flashing, and sealed joints as standard on every Kendall roof. The materials cost more up front. A roof spec’d with hot-dip galvanized nails and standard aluminum flashing might save $1,200 to $2,500 on the quote. But when those fasteners rust through in 7 years and the flashing lifts in a wind event, you’re paying for a repair roof plus the damage underneath. The marine-grade spec is the financially honest one. We don’t offer the cheap spec as a budget option in Kendall because we’ve pulled enough rusted nails out of 10-year-old roofs here to know better.
In Kendall’s West End neighborhood, we replaced original single-pane aluminum sliding windows on a 1980s CBS ranch with PGT impact-rated casement units. During the tear-out, our crew found the original jamb anchors corroded to powder from decades of salt-laden air, and the county inspector verified both the Miami-Dade NOA number and our stainless-steel anchor spacing against the HVHZ substrate schedule before signing off. That’s the difference between a roofer who reads Kendall and a roofer who just nails shingles.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Kendall
Beyond the roofing line items above, many Kendall re-roofs include replacement windows and doors because the roof and the openings need to work together as one wind-pressure system. Impact windows in Kendall run $800 to $1,500 per window installed for standard sizes. Impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings – picture windows, bay units, sliding glass doors – land between $2,500 and $5,000. Whole-home packages across a Kendall CBS ranch run $8,000 to $25,000 or more depending on opening count and custom sizes.
What pushes the number: how many openings face the prevailing southeast wind, whether you’re on the second story of a two-story home, and what frame material your existing openings require. A 1980s CBS block wall demands a different anchor schedule than wood-framed gable ends. We measure every opening, check the Miami-Dade NOA compliance for the specific product and mounting substrate, and give you a written quote that matches what the county inspector will verify on-site. Free in-home measure and written quote, always.
Florida Pays You Back
Kendall homeowners qualify for incentive programs that take real money off the project:
- My Safe Florida Home – matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades including impact-rated openings and roof-to-wall connections.
- Florida sales-tax exemption – impact-resistant windows and doors purchased and installed in Florida are exempt from state sales tax.
- Federal 25C energy credit – 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units.
- Windstorm-premium credits – after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), many carriers credit roughly 25% on the windstorm portion of your premium for a home with impact-rated openings and a compliant roof deck.
We don’t set program rules, and your carrier makes the final call on premium credits. But we’ve walked enough Kendall homeowners through this paperwork to know what inspectors and underwriters are looking for. When we scope your roof and openings, we order the wind-mitigation inspection and hand you the documents your insurance company needs.

FAQs – Roof Replacement & Installation in Kendall
Kendall falls entirely within Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), the only jurisdiction in the United States where every replacement window and door must carry an active Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA), a stricter product-approval standard than Florida’s statewide system. Your roof system, including underlayment, fastening patterns, and roof-to-wall connections, must also meet HVHZ standards. We pull permits through the county Building Department, and the inspector verifies NOA numbers, edition dates, and anchor patterns on-site. This dual documentation step catches out-of-county contractors constantly. Call (727) 620-6983 if you’ve got a quote from a Broward contractor and want a second opinion before signing.
If your Kendall home still has its pre-Andrew roof, the underlayment beneath the shingles or tile is at least 32 years old and is almost certainly brittle, cracked, or completely failed in places. Patching leaks buys months, not years. The shingles or tile may still look serviceable from the street, but the water barrier underneath is the roof. We do free 20-minute roof inspections in Kendall and we’ll show you photos of what’s actually happening under the surface before we ever ask for a contract. Call (727) 620-6983 for a straight answer.
The required anchor pattern depends on the specific NOA-tested assembly for the product you’re installing, the thickness and condition of the CBS block, and the design pressure at that opening’s elevation and wind zone. There is no single universal answer. We drill test holes, measure block density, match the NOA’s tested anchor schedule, and install stainless-steel anchors at the spacing and embedment depth that the county inspector will verify. Out-of-county installers regularly anchor to the wrong substrate depth on hollow CBS block and fail inspection. Call (727) 620-6983 and we’ll walk your home and tell you exactly what your openings need.
A full shingle tear-off and replacement on a 2,000 to 2,400 square foot Kendall ranch typically takes 2 to 5 days once materials are on site. Tile roofs take longer because of the lift-and-reset process, typically 5 to 10 working days. Metal roofs run 3 to 7 days depending on the profile and roof complexity. Kendall’s afternoon thunderstorms in summer can extend a schedule by a day or two. We’ll give you a written schedule before we start and we stick to it. Call (727) 620-6983 to schedule your free estimate and get exact timing for your roof.
Yes. Kendall is unincorporated Miami-Dade, so permits are pulled through the county’s Building Department rather than any city office. County inspectors specifically verify NOA approval numbers, edition dates, and installation anchor patterns on-site, which is a dual documentation step that routinely trips up contractors who only know the simpler Florida Product Approval sticker system used elsewhere. We handle the county permit, the inspections, and the close-out documents for every Kendall roof. Call (727) 620-6983 if you have questions about a roof permit in Kendall.
