Call (844) 901-4551

We know Kendale Lakes because we work here constantly. The CBS homes off SW 88th Street, the Florida rooms with original 1980s aluminum, the flat-tile sections that hold water after an afternoon storm. Ed Winslow has built Winslow Windows & Doors around one idea: a neighbor you can call at 2 a.m., and someone will actually answer. Not a call center. Not a ticket number. A person who knows what your roof is up against in this specific corner of Miami-Dade.

If water is coming in, don’t wait. Wind-driven rain finds its way into wall cavities fast. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll get eyes on it.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendale Lakes’s Preferred Roof Repair Company

We’re locally owned and owner-operated by Ed Winslow, with a published address and license number. That matters when you’re hiring someone to work on the thing protecting everything you own. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. No shell companies, no subcontractor roulette.

Kendale Lakes homeowners call us because we understand how these homes were built. The 1970s and 1980s CBS construction on streets off Kendall Drive and 137th Avenue has its own failure patterns. We’ve seen the same roof-to-wall flashing corrosion on hundreds of homes, and we know exactly what the repair requires before we open anything up. That’s not something a national chain learns from a training video.

Every technician who pulls up to your Kendale Lakes home is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know who’s at your door before they ring the bell. And behind them: Ed Winslow, answering the same phone number you called.

Our Roof Repair Services in Kendale Lakes

Roof Leak Detection and Repair

Kendale Lakes homes take a beating from late-afternoon thunderstorms that drop an inch of rain in twenty minutes. When water shows up on your ceiling, the entry point is rarely directly above the stain. We trace leaks through the roof-to-wall transition, the flashing points, and the penetrations where vents and exhaust pipes come through. On CBS homes, wind-driven rain often enters at the flashing line where the original aluminum was never properly sealed, then travels horizontally along the top plate before finding an interior drop point.

We don’t patch and run. We find the actual source, document it, and repair it so it stays repaired. A missed flashing detail in one corner of the roof can rot the top plate and damage the ceiling below within a single hurricane season.

Roof Flashing Repair and Replacement

This is the repair we do most in Kendale Lakes, especially on homes built before Hurricane Andrew’s 1992 code overhaul. Original 1980s roof-to-wall flashing on CBS homes is aluminum that’s been cooking under South Florida UV for four decades. It corrodes, cracks, and pulls away from the block. Once that seal fails, water gets behind the stucco during every storm.

We cut out the failed flashing, inspect the underlying membrane and wood sheathing, and install new flashing that meets current Miami-Dade code. If the opening requires it, we anchor directly into the CMU block and seal with Miami-Dade-approved materials. That’s the difference between a repair that lasts five years and one that lasts thirty.

Shingle and Tile Roof Repair

Many Kendale Lakes homes have architectural shingle roofs, but a good number still carry the original concrete tile from the 1980s. Cracked or displaced tiles let water pool underneath, and once the underlayment is compromised, you’re looking at interior damage. We replace broken tiles, secure loose ones, and repair the underlayment beneath them without disturbing the surrounding roof system.

Shingle damage is usually straightforward: missing tabs, nail pops, granule loss. But on a Kendale Lakes roof, the repair is only as good as the flashing work around it. We don’t replace shingles and ignore the transition points. The whole system has to work together.

Roof Inspection and Storm Damage Assessment

After a storm, you need someone who knows what wind-borne debris and hurricane-force gusts do to roofs in this specific wind zone. Kendale Lakes sits inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind code in the United States. We walk the roof, check the ridge line, the flashing, the penetrations, and the underlayment, then give you a written report with photos and an honest assessment. If there’s no damage, we tell you that too. We don’t manufacture work.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendale Lakes

When a roof repair intersects with windows or doors, which happens constantly on older Kendale Lakes homes, we bring products we’re authorized to install and stand behind. PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows are all in our authorized lineup. These are the impact-rated brands built for Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, with Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) numbers on file for the configurations we install. If a roof repair triggers an HVHZ compliance issue on an opening, we can quote the right impact unit without sending you to another contractor. One team, one warranty, one phone call.

Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes

• Corroded roof-to-wall flashing on CBS homes from the 1975–1990 era. Original aluminum flashing exposed to decades of tropical humidity and UV degrades at the block line. Wind-driven rain gets behind the stucco, and by the time you see a ceiling stain, the water has been traveling for weeks.
• Flat and low-slope sections that pond water after afternoon storms. Some Kendale Lakes homes have flat-tile or modified-bitumen sections over Florida rooms and carports. Standing water works its way through the smallest seam, and once the underlayment is saturated, the repair gets bigger fast.
• Pre-Andrew roof systems that don’t meet current HVHZ uplift requirements. Roofs built in the 1970s and 1980s weren’t designed for the wind loads the code now requires. When we open a roof section for repair, the existing connections are often undersized, and we have to bring them up to code before we close things up. That’s not a surprise we spring on you later; we quote it up front.
• Jalousie and single-pane aluminum window openings that leak at the header. The old windows embedded in the roof-to-wall transition are a frequent leak point. Once the flashing fails around those openings, water runs down inside the wall and into the ceiling below. Repairing the roof without addressing the window opening means the leak comes back.

Pricing for Roof Repair in Kendale Lakes, FL

What Roof Repair Costs in Kendale Lakes

Let’s talk about the real numbers. A straightforward roof leak repair in Kendale Lakes runs $450–$900 for most cases where the leak is isolated and the decking is still sound. Replacing a full section of roof-to-wall flashing on a CBS home runs $600–$1,200. If you need new underlayment under a flat-tile or low-slope section, expect $1,500–$3,500. And if the repair opens up an HVHZ compliance question on an adjacent opening, impact windows in the Kendale Lakes market run $900–$1,800 per window installed for standard sizes, $2,500–$5,000 for large or custom openings, and $8,000–$25,000+ for whole-home packages.

What moves the price in Kendale Lakes? Opening count, first. Wind zone and floor height, because design pressure requirements go up on larger openings and higher elevations. Frame material and the condition of the existing CMU block. And the big one: what we find when we open the wall. On a 1983 CBS rancher near SW 88th Street, our crew opened the rear wall for a jalousie-to-impact window conversion and found original aluminum roof flashing burned through by 40 years of UV and humidity. We documented the corrosion, then quoted a repair that included new Miami-Dade NOA flashing and anchoring into the CMU block before we touched the window. Because in Kendale Lakes, that’s not an upgrade. It’s the only way to close the permit.

The best way to know your real number is a free in-home measure and a written quote. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll schedule it. The estimate is free. The second opinion is free. The clarity is the point.

Florida Pays You Back

If you’re going to spend money on impact-rated windows or doors because a roof repair pulled you into an HVHZ compliance situation, know this: Florida offsets a chunk of it. The My Safe Florida Home program provides matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades on your primary residence. There’s also a Florida sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And once the work is done and the wind-mitigation inspection is complete, many homeowners see their windstorm premiums drop by around 25% on the windstorm portion. The inspection itself runs $75–$150.

We’re not insurance agents, and every carrier sets its own final numbers. But we’ll give you the documentation you need to pursue every credit and grant you’re eligible for. In Kendale Lakes, where impact-rated glazing is effectively required on any opening we touch under HVHZ rules, these programs matter.

One more thing worth knowing: permanent impact windows beat hurricane shutters for most Kendale Lakes homeowners. No panels to store in the garage. No running outside when a storm is already on top of you. No remembering which wrench fits which anchor. The protection is always there, and the insurance credit applies either way. And when you’re comparing bids, compare what actually comes with the window. A big-box retail install won’t include the Miami-Dade NOA flashing retrofit on a 1980s CBS opening, or the permit, or a licensed crew that knows how to anchor into block. We will.
