Roof Replacement & Installation in Kendall - Free Roof Inspection, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Kendall

Roof replacement in Kendall, FL typically runs $8,000 to $25,000+ depending on the size of the roof, the material you choose, and whether the home predates Hurricane Andrew. Most Kendall homes fall into that range because the housing stock is primarily 1970s-1990s concrete-block construction with roofs now at or past their useful life. If you’re on the fence about whether to repair or replace, call (863) 251-5864 and Ed Winslow will give you a straight answer, not a sales pitch.

We know Kendall’s specific permit path and wind-load requirements because we work here every week. That matters when the county’s HVHZ review affects every shingle, tile, and underlayment choice. Our Roof Replacement & Installation team handles the full scope, from tear-off through final inspection, with the documentation your insurer will want to see.

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

Ed Winslow started this company in 2011, and his name has been on every job since. That’s not marketing. It means when a Kendall homeowner calls about a leaking ridge vent or a tile that lifted during a summer squall, the person accountable for fixing it is reachable. Our published address and license number are on everything we send. No shell companies, no out-of-state call centers.

Kendall homeowners call us because we answer the phone 24/7 with a live person. Not a voicemail loop, not a next-business-day callback. When a storm rolls through at 9 p.m. and water is coming into the kitchen, you talk to a human being on the first ring. That’s the difference between a local owner-operated outfit and a national chain that routes you through three menus before you hear a recording.

Every technician who arrives at your Kendall home is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know who’s at your door before you open it. And every job carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period. That’s a century-long standard, and it’s why our Kendall customers refer us to their neighbors on the Nextdoor feeds around West Kendall and The Hammocks.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Kendall

Full Roof Replacement

We tear off the old system down to the deck, inspect the sheathing, replace any rotted sections, and build back up to current Miami-Dade HVHZ standards. Most Kendall homes from the 1970s and 1980s are getting their first full replacement, so we’re used to finding deck damage from decades of afternoon downpours. You get a written line-item quote before we start. No change orders, no “we found something” surprises.

Shingle Roof Installation

Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most common choice in Kendall because they’re cost-effective, fast to install, and hold up well in the HVHZ when properly fastened to code. We install shingle systems rated for the wind speeds Kendall sees during hurricane season, with sealed nail patterns and reinforced underlayment that satisfy Miami-Dade inspectors. A typical shingle roof replacement on a 1,800-square-foot Kendall ranch runs $9,000 to $16,000.

Tile Roof Installation

Concrete and clay tile are popular on the newer Mediterranean-style homes throughout West Kendall and Country Walk. Tile looks right on these houses, but it’s heavier and requires careful deck-to-rafter attachment under HVHZ rules. We handle barrel tile, flat tile, and the foam-adhesive systems Miami-Dade now requires in many applications. Tile jobs in Kendall typically start around $18,000 and climb based on pitch and complexity.

Metal Roof Installation

Standing seam and 5V-crimp metal roofs are gaining traction in Kendall because they handle wind-driven rain well and carry long lifespans. The HVHZ has specific panel-gauge and clip-spacing requirements, and we document every one of them for your permit file. Homeowners along Killian Drive and Kendall Drive who are tired of replacing asphalt every 15 years are pricing metal more often lately. Expect $15,000 to $28,000 depending on square footage and seam style.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall

We’re an authorized installer for eight premium brands, but the ones that matter most to Kendall roof and exterior work are PGT for impact-rated openings, Therma-Tru for exterior doors, and ViewLux for architectural glass units. When your roof replacement includes skylights, ridge vents, or penetrations that need proper flashing and sealing, we’re working with products that carry active Miami-Dade NOAs. We keep distributor relationships in South Florida that give Kendall customers faster access to materials than out-of-county contractors, which means fewer delays once your permit clears.

Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Kendall Homes

• Pre-Andrew roof decks with inadequate nailing patterns. Homes built before the 1992 code overhaul in Kendall neighborhoods like Kendale Lakes and Westwood Lakes often have roof decks nailed on wide centers that fail current HVHZ uplift requirements. A full replacement means re-nailing the entire deck before underlayment goes down.
• Original tile roofs with cracked or slipped tiles. The flat, low-lying terrain across Kendall means wind drives rain sideways under tile courses. We regularly see original 1980s tile that looks fine from the street but has failed underlayment beneath it, leaking into ceilings during long summer storms.
• Flat-roof sections on 1970s additions. Many Kendall homes have flat-roof porches, carports, or utility additions that hold water after the daily afternoon downpour. These need tapered insulation, proper drainage, and membrane systems rated for ponding water, not just a patch job.
• Fascia and eave rot from Biscayne Bay humidity. Salt-laden air pushed inland accelerates oxidation and rot on untreated wood at roof edges across Kendall. We replace rotted fascia and soffit as part of the roof job so the new edge has something solid to anchor into.

What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Kendall

For reference on the window and door side of our work, impact windows in Kendall generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed, with impact single-hungs at $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings run $2,500 to $5,000, and whole-home packages typically land between $8,000 and $25,000 or more. In Kendall specifically, opening count, floor height, and frame material move the price more than anything. A two-story home near Dadeland with 22 openings costs more to outfit than a single-story rancher in Kendall West with 14. You get a free in-home measure and a written quote that holds. Call (863) 251-5864 for yours.

Florida Pays You Back

Kendall homeowners are sitting on real incentive money right now. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and roof replacement tied to secondary water-resistance improvements can qualify. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And 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. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we can’t guarantee your outcome, but we’ll document every installation so the credits are on the table.

Jalousie Windows in Kendall: Why Repair Isn’t an Option

Here’s the thing about Kendall that catches people off guard. Every replacement window and door in this city must meet Miami-Dade County High Velocity Hurricane Zone standards, the strictest wind-load jurisdiction in the United States. And the jalousie windows common in pre-1980s Kendall homes, those louvered glass-crank units you still see on so many houses near Sunset Drive and Miller Drive, cannot be retrofitted to comply. No Miami-Dade NOA exists for a jalousie impact retrofit. Period.

What that means in practical terms: if your Kendall home still has jalousies and you’re doing a permitted window replacement, those openings must be rebuilt from scratch. The contractor cuts out the louvered frame, rebuilds the rough opening with masonry infill, re-stuccos the exterior, and installs a modern impact-rated unit that carries a Miami-Dade NOA. That masonry infill and re-stucco line item is a cost contractors in newer suburbs almost never quote, because they don’t see these windows. We do. It’s part of almost every pre-1980s Kendall window job we quote.

Last month our crew replaced a failing 1978 jalousie unit on a concrete-block home near Kendall Drive with a PGT impact-rated casement window holding a Miami-Dade NOA. We cut out the louvered frame, rebuilt the rough opening with masonry infill, re-stuccoed the exterior, and pulled the permit through Miami-Dade’s HVHZ review. The homeowner’s wind mitigation report now lists every opening as large-missile rated. That’s the whole point.
