AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Kendall
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Kendall, FL runs roughly $14,000 to $38,000 for a full replacement on a typical single-family home, depending on material, pitch, and whether we’re doing a straight re-roof or a full tear-off with new underlayment. Most Kendall jobs take 3 to 7 days on site once materials land. The bigger variable here isn’t the schedule. It’s the salt air, and whether the fasteners, clips, and flashings are specced to survive it. Call (239) 310-4121 and we’ll give you an honest read on what your roof actually needs, not what a sales script says you should buy.
Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and that changes how we quote a roof. We’re not a national chain handing you a ticket number. We’re the crew that shows up in Kendall, walks the roof with you, and tells you which materials will still be holding in 25 years. That means stainless clips on tile, marine-grade fasteners on metal, and underlayment that doesn’t delaminate in 80% humidity. More on that below.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
We’ve been roofing in South Florida since 2011, and Kendall has its own set of rules. The homes here split into two distinct generations: pre-1992 tract builds that went through Hurricane Andrew, and the post-Andrew rebuilds now hitting 25 to 30 years old. Both need very different things. The older homes often hide corroded tile clips and jalousie windows that become permitting problems the second you pull a roofing permit. The newer ones are losing their original impact-rated aluminum frames to oxidation and seal failure.
Our crews know the neighborhoods: the ranch blocks off SW 97th Avenue, the two-story sections around Kendall Drive, the gated communities along SW 88th Street where HOA approvals slow everything down. We quote for the house you actually have, not a generic square-footage formula.
Every technician who steps onto a Kendall roof is background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s at your door before the truck parks. And when you call, a live person answers. Not a voicemail loop, not a call center in another state. That matters at 2 a.m. when a tile slips and water’s coming through the ceiling.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Kendall
This page covers our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing work. We also handle roof repair and full replacement, plus the window and door packages that tie into the roof system. In Kendall specifically, that integration matters more than anywhere else we work. Here’s what we do most often:
Shingle Roofing Replacement in Kendall
Architectural asphalt shingles are still the most common choice on Kendall’s post-Andrew rebuilds, and for good reason: they’re cost-effective, easy to repair, and when installed over a properly sealed deck with a peel-and-stick underlayment, they hold up well in HVHZ wind events. The failure we see most isn’t the shingle. It’s the nails. Salt-laden air from Biscayne Bay pushes inland and attacks standard galvanized fasteners within a decade. We specify stainless or double-hot-dipped nails on every Kendall shingle job, and that alone extends the roof’s life by years.
Tile Roofing Repair and Replacement in Kendall
Barrel and flat concrete tile dominate the older Kendall streets, and they look great until the clips underneath turn to powder. That’s the real story with tile roofs here. The tiles themselves can last 50 years. The hot-dipped clips and underlayment nails they sit on last 10 to 15 in Kendall’s salt air before corrosion opens the laps. When we re-roof a tile home in Kendall, we spec stainless clips and a high-temp peel-and-stick underlayment. You pay a little more now. You avoid a full tear-off in a decade.
Metal Roofing Installation in Kendall
Standing-seam and 5V-crimp metal roofs are showing up on more Kendall homes, especially on flat or low-slope sections where asphalt and tile struggle. Metal handles hurricane wind well when fastened correctly. The catch: if the fasteners aren’t marine-grade, you get electrolytic pitting where they contact aluminum flashing, and leaks follow within a few years. We use coated stainless fasteners and isolate dissimilar metals on every metal roof we install in Kendall. That’s not an upgrade. It’s the minimum for this environment.
Impact-Rated Glazing Tied to the Roof System
Here’s what most roofing companies in Kendall won’t tell you: your roof is only as strong as the openings it ties into. A new roof with old single-pane aluminum windows is a liability during a wind event. When we’re on a Kendall re-roof and we see pre-1992 windows, we flag them. Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone doesn’t let you pull a roofing permit and leave non-compliant openings untouched. We handle the roof and the window package together, using PGT impact-rated units that carry a Miami-Dade NOA. One company, one crew, one warranty.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, among eight premium brands we carry. That matters in Kendall because NOA paperwork has to match the product exactly. A PGT impact window with a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance means the permit clears without back-and-forth. We also stock replacement parts locally for the brands we install, so a broken pane or failed seal doesn’t leave you waiting weeks for a part to ship from out of state. When you’re dealing with a roof-to-wall transition or a skylight that needs large-missile glazing, we spec the product that passes inspection the first time.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Corroded tile clips and underlayment nails. Salt-laden air from Biscayne Bay eats hot-dipped clips within 10 to 15 years. The tiles look fine, but the roof deck is losing its grip. We find this constantly on pre-Andrew homes across Kendall.
- Jalousie windows that block a roofing permit. Older Kendall neighborhoods still have a surprising share of louvered jalousie windows. They provide essentially zero large-missile protection, and Miami-Dade inspectors flag them the moment any adjacent renovation or re-roof permit is pulled. You can’t roof around them. They have to go.
- Electrolytic pitting on metal roof fasteners. When non-marine-grade fasteners contact aluminum flashing, galvanic corrosion sets in. We see pinhole leaks at the roof-to-wall junction within three to five years. The fix is always the same: remove, replace with coated stainless, re-flash.
- Oxidized impact window frames on post-Andrew homes. Those rebuilds from the mid-1990s are now 25 to 30 years old. The original aluminum impact frames are oxidizing in Kendall’s humidity, and insulated glass seals are failing. The roof may be fine, but the openings tied to it need a refresh.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Kendall, FL
Let’s get concrete, because vague quotes are how you get burned. A straight architectural shingle re-roof on a 1,800-square-foot Kendall ranch runs $14,000 to $19,000 with new underlayment, drip edge, and stainless fasteners. Tile replacement with stainless clips and peel-and-stick underlayment runs $22,000 to $38,000 depending on tile profile and whether we need a full tear-off. Standing-seam metal on the same footprint runs $25,000 to $34,000. If your project also includes replacing jalousie windows with PGT impact units to satisfy permit requirements, add $800 to $1,500 per opening, more for custom or large-format glass. You’ll get a written line-item quote before any work starts. No change orders, no surprise add-ons. Call (239) 310-4121 to set up a free in-home measure. Estimates are free.

What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Kendall
For the roof itself, the numbers above hold. For the window and door work that often accompanies a Kendall roofing permit, here’s what to expect. Impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Single-hung impact units land at $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, like picture windows or sliding glass doors, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages covering every opening typically start around $8,000 and can exceed $25,000 on bigger two-story homes. What moves the price in Kendall: opening count, wind zone within the HVHZ (design pressures here can exceed ±70 psf on a two-story home), floor height, and frame material. Aluminum is standard; vinyl upgrades cost more. We’ll measure every opening, match design pressures to your exact location, and give you a written quote. The measure is free.
Florida Pays You Back
There’s real money available for Kendall homeowners doing this work. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. That’s a meaningful discount on a five-figure project. On top of that, the federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (which runs $75 to $150), many Kendall homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25% on the wind portion. We won’t promise a specific number from your carrier. We’ll tell you what qualifies and let the inspection speak for itself.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Kendall
Yes, in most cases it does. Kendall sits entirely inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and when a roofing permit is pulled, the inspector will flag any opening that doesn’t carry a Miami-Dade NOA or pass the Large Missile Impact test. Jalousie windows provide no large-missile protection, so they become an automatic compliance item. We handle the roof and the window replacement as one job, so the permit clears without a second round of fines or delays. Call (239) 310-4121 for a free assessment of what your specific home will need.
We specify stainless steel tile clips on every Kendall tile roof, not the standard hot-dipped galvanized clips that corrode to powder within 10 to 15 years in this salt-laden environment. The upgrade costs a few hundred dollars on a typical roof. It prevents the uplift failures that open a roof deck long before the tiles wear out. We’d rather you never call us back for that reason.
Because Kendall’s HVHZ wind speeds and rain events will find every seam in a standard felt underlayment. Peel-and-stick, or self-adhered modified bitumen, seals around every fastener and lap, which keeps water out even if shingles or tiles lift during a storm. It’s code here for a reason. We install it on every Kendall re-roof, no exceptions.
You may be able to keep it if the fasteners, flashings, and roof-to-wall connections are intact and show no electrolytic pitting. But a visual inspection doesn’t tell you everything. We look for pitting where fasteners meet aluminum flashing, which is the early warning sign of leaks to come. If the roof passes, great. If it’s marginal, we’ll show you photos and let you decide. We won’t push a replacement you don’t need.
Yes. The roof-to-wall flashing and the window flashing are part of one continuous water-shedding system, and in Kendall’s salt air, old flashing is often the first thing to corrode. When we install impact windows tied into a new roof deck, we replace every piece of flashing at that junction. Skimping there is how you get a brand-new roof that leaks at the second-floor corners within two years. Call (239) 310-4121 and we’ll walk you through what your house needs.
