Here’s the thing about roofing in Kendall that most contractors won’t tell you upfront: pulling a roof permit in this part of Miami-Dade County doesn’t just trigger a roofing review. It triggers a Window Replacement in Kendall compliance review too. That’s the local reality, and it changes the math on nearly every job we quote.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
Kendall is full of homes built before Hurricane Andrew hit in 1992, along with a wave of rebuilds from ’93 through the early 2000s. Both groups have roofs hitting the end of their service life right now. We know those houses because we work on them every week. We know the original tract developments off Kendall Drive and Bird Road, the post-Andrew two-story stuccos, the tile roofs going brittle in the sun, and the shingle roofs lifting after two decades of afternoon thunderstorms.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation team has handled hundreds of local permits through Miami-Dade County. That matters because Kendall sits entirely inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and the paperwork alone can sink a project if it’s not done right. We’ve had Kendall homeowners come to us with a roof quote from an out-of-county contractor who didn’t realize the submittal needed a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for the existing openings. The permit got denied, the job sat for three weeks, and the homeowner called us from a puddle in the dining room. We fixed the submittal, got the permit cleared, and tore the old roof off the next week.
Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. That’s not a marketing line. It’s how we’ve operated in Kendall for over a decade, and it’s why our phone rings after something goes sideways on someone else’s job.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Kendall
Full Shingle Roof Replacement
Asphalt shingle is the most common roofline across Kendall’s pre-Andrew tract home neighborhoods, and for good reason: it handles our afternoon downpours well when properly ventilated and installed with peel-and-stick underlayment across the full deck, not just the eaves. Most full shingle replacements in Kendall run $12,000 to $19,000 depending on square footage, tear-off layers, and deck condition. We use architectural-grade shingles rated for 130 mph wind uplift, which Miami-Dade requires for any roof in the HVHZ.
Tile Roof Replacement
Spanish tile and flat-profile concrete tile are everywhere in Kendall’s newer master-planned communities and the post-Andrew rebuilds. Tile roofs look great and last a long time, but the underlayment beneath them fails decades before the tile itself does. If you’re seeing water stains on a tile roof, the problem is under the tile. Tile roof replacement in Kendall generally runs $18,000 to $35,000, with barrel tile and clay profiles at the higher end. The underlayment has to meet HVHZ requirements, and the tile attachment method gets checked by a county inspector who knows exactly what he’s looking for.
Metal Roof Installation
Standing-seam metal roofs are gaining ground in Kendall because they shrug off the summer sun and handle wind uplift better than almost anything else on the market. A standing-seam metal roof on an average Kendall ranch typically falls between $20,000 and $32,000. Metal is also one of the few roofing materials that can sometimes be installed over an existing shingle layer, though Miami-Dade code is stricter about that than most counties.
Flat and Low-Slope Roof Systems
Kendall has a surprising number of flat-roof sections on post-Andrew homes, often over porches, carports, or the 1970s modern-style ranches scattered throughout the area. Modified bitumen and TPO systems are the standard here, and most flat sections run $6,000 to $14,000 depending on size and deck condition. Flat roofs in Kendall’s UV-heavy climate need regular inspection because the sun breaks down the membrane surface long before it leaks, and by the time you see water, the deck underneath has usually taken damage too.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We install roofing systems from manufacturers that understand South Florida conditions, and we stock the components Kendall jobs need most: HVHZ-rated underlayment, Miami-Dade approved flashing systems, and fasteners that won’t corrode in our salt-laden air. For exterior openings tied to the roof work, we’re an authorized installer for PGT and CGI Kendall Impact Windows, and we use ViewLux where the design calls for modern lines. If you’ve got a specific manufacturer in mind, ask us when you call. If we don’t stock it, we’ll get it, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s the right call for your house.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Post-1993 builds with failed underlayment: Many homes rebuilt after Hurricane Andrew used the cheapest code-compliant underlayment available, and 25 to 30 years of Kendall sun and humidity has turned it brittle. Water gets through while the tile on top still looks fine. We find this constantly on two-story stuccos between SW 88th Street and Killian Drive.
- Jalousie and single-pane windows flagged at roof permit: Pull a roof permit on a pre-Andrew home in neighborhoods like West Kendall or the sections north of Miller Drive, and the inspector checks the glazing. Original jalousie windows can’t pass the Large Missile Impact test required in Miami-Dade. Suddenly your roof scope includes window replacements, whether or not that was in the budget.
- Windward-only impact glazing on post-Andrew rebuilds: In the rush to rebuild after 1992, some contractors installed impact-rated windows only on the elevation facing the storm track, leaving original single-pane sliders on the lee side. Those openings fail the current HVHZ design pressure requirement the moment any renovation permit gets pulled, including a roofline change.
- Oxidized aluminum frames after 25+ years: The aluminum frames installed during the post-Andrew rebuild wave are now hitting the end of their service life. Kendall’s salt-laden, humid air accelerates corrosion at the corners first, and once the frame loses structural integrity, the window no longer meets the ±70 psf design pressure in the original permit. That’s a code failure waiting to be noticed, and a roof permit is usually what forces the issue.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Kendall
Kendall’s pricing reflects the HVHZ code that governs every roof and opening in this part of Miami-Dade. A full shingle roof replacement on an average three-bedroom ranch runs $12,000 to $19,000. Tile systems run $18,000 to $35,000 depending on profile and complexity. Metal standing-seam runs $20,000 to $32,000. Flat or low-slope sections typically run $6,000 to $14,000. What moves the number: total square footage, number of roof penetrations, whether the decking needs replacement, whether you’re doing a tear-off or overlay, and the condition of your existing openings. That last one is the Kendall wildcard. If the inspector flags jalousie windows at permit, your project just grew to include impact glazing, which runs $800 to $1,500 per window installed, $900 to $1,800 for single-hung impact units, and $2,500 to $5,000 for large or custom openings. Whole-home impact packages on a typical Kendall home run $8,000 to $25,000 and up. We don’t guess at numbers. We measure, we write a line-item quote, and the price we put in writing is the price you pay. Call (239) 310-4121 for a free in-home measure and written quote.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Kendall, FL
Let’s be direct: a roof replacement in Kendall is one of the bigger checks a homeowner writes. But the decisions that move the cost are knowable, not mysterious. Square footage, roof pitch, material choice, number of penetrations, and the condition of the deck beneath the old roof all move the number. In Kendall specifically, the HVHZ code also means underlayment has to meet Miami-Dade standards, which costs more than the standard felt used elsewhere in Florida. And as we said above, your openings may force themselves into the scope. We give every Kendall homeowner a written, line-item estimate before any work starts. No price-on-the-day-of changes. No surprise change orders unless the inspector requires something after tear-off, and even then, we call you first and show you the problem before spending a dollar. Call (239) 310-4121 to schedule your free estimate.
Florida Pays You Back
If your Kendall home qualifies, the state of Florida may help cover part of this. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact-rated windows and doors that often get pulled into a roof replacement scope. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. At the federal level, the 25C energy credit can return up to 30% of product cost, capped at $600 per year, for qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically runs $75 to $150, most insurers apply a windstorm-premium credit that averages around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy. We can’t guarantee what any program or carrier will approve. That’s their call, not ours. But we’ll point you to the right inspections and the right paperwork so you don’t leave money on the table in Kendall.
One more thing worth saying plainly: impact windows beat hurricane shutters for everyday Kendall life. Shutters mean panels in the garage, ladders at 10 p.m., and a house that’s dark and stuffy when the storm blows through. Impact windows are permanent. No panels to hang, no storage, no scramble. That’s the comparison most Kendall homeowners make, and it’s why so many of them fold window upgrades into a roof project they’re already paying for.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Kendall
Yes, in most cases. Kendall’s newer master-planned communities and post-Andrew developments almost all have architectural review committees with written standards for window styles, frame colors, and sometimes even specific brands. Start by reading your HOA’s design guidelines, then submit a modification request before we pull permits. We’ll provide the product specs, Miami-Dade NOA numbers, and installation details the committee wants to see. Some Kendall HOAs require the same window profile on all street-facing elevations, so you may need to replace more openings than the county code requires. Call (239) 310-4121 and we’ll help you build the submission package.
They may be compliant, but they may not be, and a roof permit will force the answer. Original post-Andrew aluminum frames in Kendall are now 25 to 30 years old, and many are oxidizing at the corners due to salt-laden air and humidity. If the frames have lost structural integrity, they don’t meet the ±70 psf design pressure listed in the original permit, and a Miami-Dade inspector will flag them. The roof permit then cannot close until the openings are corrected. We’ve done many Kendall jobs where the roofline was fine but the windows had to go first. If you want to know where you stand before the inspector does, call (239) 310-4121 and we’ll inspect your frames during the roof estimate.
This depends on your builder’s warranty language. Most builder warranties cover the roof separately from the windows and doors, so replacing windows doesn’t void roof coverage. But if a window installation requires flashing or trim work that touches the roof edge, some builders consider that an alteration to the roof system. In practice, we’ve done hundreds of Window Installation - Kendall projects in newer communities and the roof warranty has rarely been an issue. The safest path: review the warranty document, and if you have questions, ask the builder directly. We’ll gladly review the relevant sections with you at no charge when we come out for the estimate. Call (239) 310-4121.
In most cases, yes. Jalousie windows provide essentially no large-missile impact protection, and many insurers won’t even write a policy on a Kendall home with original jalousies unless the windstorm coverage is heavily loaded. Replacing them with Miami-Dade NOA approved impact windows, and then getting a wind-mitigation inspection, typically results in a windstorm-premium credit that averages around 25% on the windstorm portion of the bill. The inspection itself runs $75 to $150. We can’t tell you exactly what your carrier will do, but we can show you the before-and-after numbers from other Kendall homes we’ve done. Call (239) 310-4121 and we’ll walk you through it.
Sometimes, but not always, and the wrong call can leave you with a home that passes inspection but still underperforms in a storm. Miami-Dade inspectors don’t ask for extra work without a code basis. If an opening lacks a Large Missile Impact rating, it has to be addressed, period. The minimum is typically replacing only the flagged openings, but in practice, Kendall homeowners usually end up replacing all the original openings on the same elevation to avoid mismatched frames and a second permit later. We’ll tell you what the inspector is actually enforcing, what the minimum fix looks like, and what we’d recommend if it were our house. Call (239) 310-4121 and we’ll come out.
