What makes a Kendall roof job different from one twenty miles west is the paperwork and the hardware. Every replacement here falls under the High Velocity Hurricane Zone wind-load requirements of the Florida Building Code, which means the underlayment, fasteners, flashing, and decking attachment all carry Miami-Dade NOA approval numbers. That’s non-negotiable, and we’ve been doing it long enough to know exactly where the cheap shortcuts fail first on 1970s and 1980s CBS construction. More on that below.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company

Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 and put his name on the door for a reason. When a Kendall homeowner calls us about a roof, they’re talking to a local owner-operated business that has a published address, a state license number, and no shell companies hiding behind a national brand’s call center. The person who answers the phone at 2 a.m. is a live human being, not a voicemail loop. That alone has earned us a strong local reputation across Kendall, Hialeah, and the surrounding Miami-Dade communities.

Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so the person pulling up to your home off SW 117th Avenue is the same person whose name is on the work order. Homeowners in Kendall frequently tell us they chose us after getting burned by vague estimates from big-box installers. Ed’s answer to that is simple: a written line-item quote before work starts, and a fixed price that does not change unless the roof decking underneath is in worse shape than anyone could see from the surface. And if anything we do is not done right, the 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right. That’s a hundred years of accountability, which we’re comfortable promising because we’ve been doing this work correctly since the day we opened.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Kendall

Full Roof Replacement with Miami-Dade NOA Underlayment

A Kendall tear-off and re-roof is a code-driven job, not a cosmetic one. We strip the old shingles or tile down to the CBS decking, inspect the deck for rot or termite damage, and then build the roof back up with a peel-and-stick membrane and underlayment systems that carry active Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance numbers. Every layer matters: the membrane is what keeps water out during the 48-hour window between tear-off and final covering, and the underlayment is what the shingles or tile fasten to for the next 20 to 30 years. Kendall’s near-daily afternoon storms mean the membrane can’t be a cheap afterthought.

Shingle, Tile, and Metal Roofing

Kendall’s housing stock leans heavily toward architectural shingle and concrete S-tile or barrel tile roofs on CBS ranch homes and garden condos. We install all three systems, and we’ll tell you honestly which one fits your home’s existing structure. Tile is heavy, and some older Kendall homes need a structural check before we can swap shingles for tile. Metal standing-seam has become more common in Kendall in the last five years because it sheds rain fast during those summer downpours and handles the HVHZ wind speeds without complaint. Your Roof Replacement & Installation team should be able to show you samples and explain the trade-offs in plain English, not brochure talk.

Wind Mitigation Inspection and Documentation

This is the part of a Kendall roof replacement that most homeowners don’t know they need until their insurance agent asks for it. Florida Statute 627.0629 requires insurers to offer premium credits for homes with documented wind-mitigation features, and a new roof with the right fasteners, deck attachment, and roof-to-wall connections qualifies. After we finish a roof in Kendall, we document every mitigation feature in the format carriers and inspectors expect, so you can take that report straight to your agent. A properly documented new roof can cut the windstorm portion of your premium by a meaningful percentage, and in Kendall, where windstorm is the biggest line item on the policy, that savings adds up fast.

Roof Repair on Kendall’s Older CBS Homes

Not every roof in Kendall needs a full replacement. Sometimes the problem is isolated: a cracked tile near a vent, a failed pipe boot, a small section of deteriorated drip edge. We handle those repairs with the same NOA-rated materials we use on full replacements, which matters because a patch that fails during the next storm is not a repair at all. If you have a leak in a specific spot and your roof is otherwise sound, we’ll tell you that and fix the leak rather than selling you a roof you don’t need. That’s what Roof Replacement & Installation should look like: honest scoping first.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall

We install roofing systems built to survive South Florida’s specific conditions, and we’re picky about the brands we’ll stand behind. For Kendall’s HVHZ requirements, we frequently work with CGI and CWS because their product lines are designed around Miami-Dade testing protocols, not retrofitted for them. We also handle ES Windows products on homes where a roof job turns into a broader exterior protection project, which happens more often than you’d think once homeowners see the condition of their original aluminum windows. Because our Kendall crews install these brands every week, we can order, receive, and stage materials faster than a contractor who has to special-order every component.

Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Kendall Homes

• Electrolytic corrosion at the roof edge. Kendall’s inland position doesn’t mean zero salt. Air off Biscayne Bay carries enough salt to trigger electrolytic corrosion wherever aluminum drip edge touches steel fasteners in high humidity. We find 1970s and 1980s roofs where the drip edge has literally turned to white powder and the edges are lifting off the deck, even though the shingles in the field still look okay.
• Uplift at eaves and rakes from outdated nailing patterns. The original 1980s nailing schedules on Kendall CBS ranch homes predate post-Hurricane Andrew code changes. The shingles might have been fine for decades, but the eave and rake edges were never attached to current HVHZ large-missile impact standards. When we re-roof, we re-nail the entire perimeter to current code, not just the spots that already failed.
• Seal failure at pipe boots and vents. Kendall’s UV intensity and near-daily afternoon rain cycles eat rubber pipe boots and vent seals in a predictable rhythm. The seal dries, cracks, and allows slow leaks that rot the roof decking around the penetration. By the time you see a ceiling stain in your living room near Killian Drive, the decking underneath may already need partial replacement.
• Reused decking from pre-2001 replacements. Many Kendall homes got a cheap re-roof in the late 1990s that left the original 1970s or 1980s decking in place. That decking was attached with fasteners never intended for current wind loads, and it often shows water damage at the seams. We’ll inspect it honestly and tell you whether reusing it is safe or a false economy.

Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Kendall, FL

What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Kendall

Let’s put real numbers on it. For a roof replacement in Kendall, the biggest variables are square footage, number of roof penetrations (vents, pipes, skylights), whether you have one layer or two to tear off, and your material choice. Impact-rated windows and doors, which often accompany a full roof project on older Kendall homes, run $800 to $1,500 per window installed, with impact single-hung units at $900 to $1,800, and large or custom openings at $2,500 to $5,000 each. Whole-home packages with windows, doors, and a new roof range from $30,000 to $60,000 or more depending on opening count and product line.

What moves the price in Kendall specifically is the wind zone. Every opening and every roof edge must meet HVHZ design pressure ratings that are identical to Miami Beach, even though Kendall is inland. That means the cheapest compliant materials are still more expensive than what a roofer in Orlando or Tampa can install. Floor height and exposure also matter: a second-story roof on a home with no tree cover gets a higher wind-load calculation than a single-story home tucked behind mature oaks off Sunset Drive. We’ll walk you through those numbers in the written quote, not after the job starts. Call (863) 862-5435 and we’ll come measure everything at no charge.

Florida Pays You Back

Kendall homeowners replacing a roof and upgrading windows can stack several incentives. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including roof-to-wall connections and impact-rated openings. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, for qualifying energy-efficient units. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs between $75 and $150 in Kendall, many carriers apply windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy. We don’t control what your carrier approves, and program funding changes, but we’ll document everything correctly so you can pursue every credit you qualify for.

Why Salt Air Decides the Spec, Not the Schedule

Kendall’s unincorporated Miami-Dade location creates a material-spec problem most roofers from inland Florida don’t understand. Every roof replacement here must meet HVHZ wind-load requirements identical to oceanfront Miami Beach, but the salt air that reaches Kendall from Biscayne Bay introduces a corrosion problem on top of the wind code. Standard galvanized steel fasteners, which are perfectly fine in most of Florida, begin degrading in Kendall’s humid, salt-laden air within a few years, especially where they contact aluminum flashing. That electrochemical reaction is not theoretical: it’s the reason we see 1980s CBS roofs with rusted-through nails and drip edge that crumbles when you touch it.

Off Kendall Drive near SW 107th Avenue, we replaced a 1980s CBS ranch roof where the original aluminum drip edge had corroded into white powder and the standard galvanized roofing nails were rusting through. We specified hot-dip galvanized ring-shank nails, 316 stainless steel flashing at every edge and penetration, and a Miami-Dade NOA-approved peel-and-stick underlayment rated for 175 mph design pressure. When the job was done, we finished with a wind mitigation inspection that qualified the homeowner for insurance credits. That’s the difference between a Kendall-spec roof and an inland-spec roof, and the price gap is real: expect to pay $1,200 to $2,800 more for stainless hardware and upgraded flashing on a full replacement compared to what a standard Florida roofer would quote. The cheap spec costs more within a decade, because you’ll be paying for edge repairs and nail pops before the shingles are halfway through their lifespan.

This is not a corner where we cut costs. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise means if our fasteners fail early in Kendall’s climate, we’re the ones coming back to fix it. That’s why we specify it correctly the first time.

Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: What Fits a Kendall Roof Project

A lot of Kendall homeowners schedule a roof replacement and ask us whether they should also replace their original aluminum windows now or just keep relying on hurricane shutters. Shutters block wind only when someone is home to hang them, and they do nothing for UV damage, air leakage, or the corrosion happening inside the frames. Impact windows are permanent protection: they’re always in place, they carry Miami-Dade NOA numbers, and they qualify for wind mitigation credits on the same inspection as the new roof. We install impact windows and doors. We do not sell or install hurricane shutters, and we’ll be straight with you about that. The comparison matters because the same NOA documentation that proves your roof is compliant can also cover your openings, and doing both at once usually costs less than staging them years apart.
