AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Kendall
A full roof replacement in Kendall typically runs $12,000 to $28,000 for a standard CBS ranch home, with impact-rated shingle systems starting around $14,500 and tile or metal roofs landing higher. Most Kendall homeowners replace a roof within 5 to 10 days once materials are staged and permits clear. If you’re weighing repair versus replacement after the last hurricane season, call Winslow Windows & Doors at (727) 291-4678 and we’ll walk the roof with you, take measurements, and give you a written line-item quote before you spend a dollar.
We know Kendall’s streets. From Killian Drive to Sunset Drive, from The Hammocks to Kendall Lakes, we’ve replaced roofs on the CBS construction that defines this part of Miami-Dade. You don’t need a contractor who parachutes in from Broward and learns Miami-Dade code on your dime. You need someone who already knows what the inspector will look for and what your HOA will approve. Ed Winslow built this company on that principle: his name is on the door, and on every job we do.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We’ve been a Roof Replacement & Installation company serving Kendall since 2011, and the reasons homeowners keep calling us back are simple: we answer the phone, we show up when we say we will, and we don’t pad the invoice after the job starts. Our crews know the difference between a 1978 Kendall Lakes ranch and a 1994 Hammocks two-story. That matters when you’re matching tile profiles or calculating wind uplift on a gable end that faces the open Everglades edge.
Every Kendall customer gets the same baseline: a live person answers 24/7, background-checked uniformed technicians arrive in marked trucks, and every quote is upfront with no change orders unless you ask for extra work. We hold a published address and license number, and we’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows products, all of which carry Miami-Dade NOA documentation where Kendall’s HVHZ code requires it. If a permit gets flagged, we fix it, not you. That’s the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Kendall
Shingle Roof Replacement
Architectural asphalt shingles dominate Kendall’s master-planned subdivisions, and for good reason: they’re cost-effective, wind-rated when installed to Miami-Dade code, and available in the earth tones HOAs across The Hammocks and Kendall Lakes typically mandate. We install Class F or better impact-rated shingles with secondary water barriers, stainless fasteners, and peel-and-stick underlayment at all eaves and valleys. In the HVHZ, those details are not optional; they’re load-bearing components of the wind uplift equation.
Tile Roof Replacement
Concrete and clay tile roofs are common on the higher-end streets around Pinecrest and western Kendall, especially on two-story Spanish and Mediterranean elevations. Tile systems in Kendall must be mechanically fastened per HVHZ tables, with tiles rated for 175+ mph design pressures. We source tile from local yards to match colors and profiles on existing homes, so a partial replacement on a 1992 Hammocks build doesn’t turn into an HOA conflict.
Metal Roof Replacement
Standing-seam metal has gained real traction in Kendall because it shrugs off salt air and humidity better than most systems, and because insurance underwriters like the wind rating. A 26-gauge standing-seam roof on a typical Kendall ranch runs higher than shingle upfront, but the maintenance math over 20 to 30 years often flips the equation. We install concealed-fastener panels with enhanced seal profiles, which reduces the fastener-backout issues older exposed-fastener metal roofs develop in this salt-heavy zone.
Roof Installation for New Construction and Additions
Kendall has less raw land than it did in the 1990s, but teardowns and second-story additions are steady, especially in established neighborhoods north of Killian Drive. We coordinate with your general contractor and structural engineer to sequence underlayment, insulation, and ventilation before covering. We’ll also flag whether the new roof area changes your wind-load path and whether the existing deck attachments meet current Code, not the code from the year the house was built.

Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Non-NOA materials from out-of-market contractors. A roofer from Broward quotes you shingles that have Florida Product Approval but not Miami-Dade NOA. The Kendall permit gets rejected and the roofer wants a change order. We see this at least once a month. We only bid Kendall work with NOA-listed materials, period.
- Post-Andrew deck attachments that were never upgraded. Homes rebuilt quickly after 1992 often have clips and straps that met the emergency code then, but not the current HVHZ. We check every existing attachment before we tear anything off. If they’re undersized, we tell you and show you photos, and we bring the fastening schedule up to current design pressure before the underlayment goes down.
- Corroded flashing caused by salt air and humidity. Kendall’s combination of year-round moisture and bay-adjacent air means aluminum flashing degrades faster than homeowners expect. The places that leak first are usually the chimney base, the roof valleys, and anywhere two rooflines meet. We replace all visible flashing on every roof replacement, with stainless where the budget allows.
- HOA color and profile mandates. The Hammocks, Kendall Lakes, and many of the newer gated developments have architectural review boards that will stop a roof project cold if the tile barrel profile or shingle color doesn’t match the plat. We pull your HOA’s current guidelines before we order materials. It saves you a $4,000 materials restocking fee.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Kendall, FL
Here’s what we’re seeing on current Kendall jobs. A standard 1,800-square-foot CBS ranch with a 4:12 pitch and architectural shingles generally lands between $14,500 and $19,000. The same footprint in tile runs $24,000 to $36,000 depending on barrel profile and underlayment spec. Standing-seam metal on that home is typically $26,000 to $40,000. Steep pitches, second-story tear-offs, and homes with rotted deck sections push the number up. If your home is in a gated community with crane restrictions, factor in another $500 to $1,500 for material lifts. We give you a written line-item estimate after a free in-home measure, and that quote is fixed unless you ask us to add work. Call (727) 291-4678 to schedule yours.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Kendall
Roof cost in Kendall breaks down into three buckets: tear-off and deck prep, underlayment and system components, and the finished surface material. Shingle tear-off on a ranch runs $4 to $6 per square foot of roof area all-in; tile runs $9 to $14; metal runs $11 to $17. Impact-rated openings that tie into the roof assembly, such as skylights or ridge vents, add $800 to $4,500 depending on whether you’re matching existing curb appeal or upgrading to Miami-Dade rated units. Homes built before the mid-1990s are more likely to need deck replacement or fastener upgrades, which adds $1,200 to $3,800 on a typical Kendall ranch. We don’t bill from a price book per square foot alone; we measure every plane and count every penetration so the quote is specific to your roofline, not someone else’s. Free in-home measure, written quote, fixed price. Call (727) 291-4678.
Florida Pays You Back
Kendall homeowners can stack several programs when they replace a roof with wind-rated, impact-resistant materials. The My Safe Florida Home program has provided matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows, doors, and some roofing components from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of the qualifying product cost, up to $600 per year, for energy-efficient envelope improvements. After a wind-mitigation inspection (which runs $75 to $150), many Kendall homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We don’t control those numbers, and we won’t promise a specific premium reduction, but we do document every upgrade in the format inspectors and carriers want to see. Bring us your carrier’s wind-mitigation checklist and we’ll build the job so the answers come out favorable.
Impact Windows vs Hurricane Shutters: A Fast Comparison
If you’re replacing a roof, you’ll probably think about Window Replacement in Kendall at the same time. Shutters cost less upfront, but they only protect the glass when someone is home to deploy them, and Kendall’s storms often arrive while owners are still at work or evacuating north. Impact-rated windows sit in the opening year-round and are always working. A direct hit that drives debris into a shuttered opening can still transmit impact through the frame, but a laminated impact unit tested to the same load can take the hit and keep the building envelope sealed. For a Kendall homeowner who travels or has tenants, impact units are often the difference between a roof replacement that stays weathertight and one that opens up during the storm.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Kendall
For any roof covering or opening product in Kendall, you need the Miami-Dade County NOA specifically. Florida Product Approval alone will not pass permit review here, because Kendall sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. An out-of-area roofer who bids Florida-Approved materials without confirming the Miami-Dade NOA is setting you up for a permit rejection and a potential change order. Every material we bid in Kendall carries the applicable NOA before we submit the permit. Call (727) 291-4678 if you have an existing quote and want us to verify the NOA status on the products listed.
In many cases, yes, the windstorm portion of your premium drops after a wind-mitigation inspection documents your upgraded roof and openings, and Kendall homeowners often see credits averaging around 25% on that wind portion. But the insurance company sets the final number, and some carriers require both roof and openings upgrades before they’ll apply the full credit. We give you the documentation in the format your carrier’s inspector expects, and we’ll walk the property with that inspector if it helps. This is exactly why we say: get the written quote, upgrade once, and let the underwriting math work for you over the next ten renewals.
Look for three things. First, if the roof was installed between 1993 and 1995, it’s now past the 20- to 25-year effective service life of most shingle systems, and the underlying fasteners were likely installed to the faster, less strict code that followed the storm. Second, if you see granules in the gutters or curling at the eaves, the shingle’s seal layer is failing. Third, if an inspector has flagged the roof for missing clips or straps, repairing the surface won’t fix the structural failing underneath. We’ll give you a straight answer on which category you’re in, with photos, before we discuss replacement. Free estimate: (727) 291-4678.
Usually yes, but only within the architectural guidelines on file for your development. The Hammocks, Kendall Lakes, and many newer gated Kendall communities publish approved roof colors, tile profiles, and sometimes even shingle manufacturer lists. We pull your HOA’s current guidelines before we order materials. If the color you want isn’t on the approved list, we can often help you route a variance request through the board with material samples and wind-load documentation. We’ve handled these in dozens of Kendall communities and the answer rarely comes down to cost; it comes down to documentation and presenting it the right way.
Kendall’s year-round humidity and bay-adjacent salt air corrode aluminum flashing and fasteners noticeably faster than central Florida, and the intense UV exposure breaks down asphalt shingle binders sooner, so a shingle roof that runs 22 to 28 years in Orlando might run 16 to 22 here. Tile and standing-seam metal hold up better against both, but the underlayment beneath them still ages on the same schedule. We recommend an annual inspection, especially before and after hurricane season, with specific attention to the roof-to-wall flashing and any exposed fastener heads. We’ll do that walk with you for free. Call (727) 291-4678.
Roof Replacement in Kendall’s HVHZ: What Actually Applies to Your Home
Kendall sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the most restrictive wind-load jurisdiction in the United States. Every roof replacement here must meet design pressures tested to 175 mph or higher, and every product in the roof assembly must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance, a certification that’s entirely separate from Florida’s statewide product approval database. A roof product that’s perfectly legal to install in Fort Lauderdale or Orlando may be a code violation in Kendall without the county-specific NOA stamp. We see out-of-market contractors get burned on this every year, and their clients get stuck with the rework bill. We don’t bid Kendall work without the NOA documentation in hand.
We recently replaced a roof on a 1980s CBS ranch in Kendall Lakes, where the post-Andrew rebuild had left original non-impact skylights and corroded aluminum flashing. Our crew installed PGT Kendall Impact Windows and skylights with a laminated glass interlayer and replaced all flashing with stainless steel, ensuring the roof assembly met current HVHZ design pressure requirements without voiding the homeowner’s builder warranty on the repaired concrete structure. That’s the kind of detail work Kendall roofs actually need, and it’s why we don’t hand the job off to a subcontractor who’s never pulled a Miami-Dade permit.
Your home was most likely built between the late 1970s and mid-1990s, when master-planned developments like The Hammocks and Kendall Lakes turned this former farmland into one of Miami-Dade’s largest residential districts. That housing stock is solid: CBS construction, flat lots, predictable rooflines. But the roofs on those homes are now 30 to 45 years old, and the fastener schedules they were built with predate the current HVHZ tables. A new roof in Kendall isn’t just a surface replacement. It’s a structural upgrade to the roof-to-wall connection path, the underlayment system, and the openings that penetrate it.
If your roof is failing and you’re deciding between repair and full Roof Replacement & Installation, start with a free in-home measure. We’ll inspect the deck, check the HOA guidelines for your community, pull the applicable Miami-Dade NOA documents for your preferred material, and give you a written fixed quote. No pressure, no vague line items. Ed Winslow’s name is on the quote, and the phone number is (727) 291-4678. A neighbor you can call at 2 a.m., and someone will actually answer.
