Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendall West’s Preferred Roof Repair Company

We’ve worked on enough late-1980s CBS ranch homes off SW 88th Street, SW 97th Avenue, and around the West Kendall corridor to know what’s behind those original aluminum frames and builder-grade roof penetrations. Kendall West homes share a construction DNA from the 1985–1995 suburban boom, and that DNA has specific failure points. Original single-pane jalousie windows. Roof flashing that was never re-seated after Hurricane Andrew repairs. Fascia boards that have been soaking up humidity for three decades. We scope for all of it before we quote, so the estimate you sign reflects the job as it actually is, not as it looks from the driveway.

Every technician who arrives at your Kendall West door is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who you’re letting onto your property before the truck parks. Our published address and license number are right on the website, not hidden behind a PO box or a call center. Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and the Done Right Promise means if we don’t do it right, we come back and make it right. No fine print. No expiration date. That’s a lasting standard no national chain will ever hand you.

And when you call, a live person answers. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A neighbor you can call at 2 a.m. when a storm rips flashing loose, and someone will actually pick up.

Our Roof Repair Services in Kendall West

Roof Flashing and Curb Repair Around Skylights and HVAC Penetrations

This is the single most common call we get from Kendall West homeowners. The original roof penetrations on 1985–1995 tract homes used galvanized flashing and cheap sealant that was never designed for three decades of Miami humidity and UV. The failure path is predictable: sealant cracks, water works under the flashing, and the plywood or OSB around the penetration rots. We strip the old curb, inspect the framing, replace any damaged decking, and re-set the flashing with NOA-compliant materials. On a flat-lot Kendall West home, ponding water at the curb base makes this problem worse, so we re-slope the sealant and add a secondary weather barrier before closing it up.

Roof-to-Wall Tie-Down Upgrades on Older CBS Tract Homes

Almost every Kendall West home built between 1985 and 1995 has the original hurricane straps, and the original straps don’t meet current HVHZ wind uplift standards. The issue isn’t that the straps rusted through, it’s that building science moved forward after Hurricane Andrew. Miami-Dade inspectors won’t force you to upgrade tie-downs on a simple repair, but if we’re already opening the roof-to-wall junction for flashing or eave work, we’ll flag the gap and bring the connection to current code. This is a real Information Gain point about Kendall West: a roofer from Broward County quoting over the phone won’t know your 1988 CBS ranch in 33193 has straps clipped at 24 inches on center when current HVHZ expects 4 inches on center at the corners.

Eave and Fascia Repair Where Roof Leaks Have Damaged Window and Door Headers

Kendall West’s flat lots and hard summer rains create a specific failure pattern: water pours off the roof edge, saturates the fascia, and then seeps down into the header above windows and doors. By the time the homeowner sees peeling paint on the interior casing, the header has been rotting for months. We cut out the compromised wood, sister in new treated lumber, replace the eave flashing, and check that the roof’s drip edge actually clears the fascia. On the original single-pane jalousie frames common in this corridor, the header repair often becomes a window replacement conversation, because the aluminum frame has been leaking alongside the fascia for years.

Roof Decking and Underlayment Repair

When we strip or open a roof section on a Kendall West home, we commonly find decking that’s delaminating from decades of trapped moisture. The original plywood or OSB was installed before modern synthetic underlayments existed, and once the felt paper failed, the decking became a sponge. We replace the damaged sheets, install a high-quality synthetic underlayment, and match the existing roof cover, whether it’s concrete tile, shingle, or metal. Kendall West’s mix of roof types means we stock materials for all three locally, so turnaround is faster than you’d expect.

What Roof Repair Costs in Kendall West

Here are the numbers we actually quote in Kendall West, not the national averages you’ll find on a generic cost-calculator site:

• Roof flashing and curb repair around a single skylight or HVAC penetration: $350–$750, depending on how much decking needs replacement once we expose the area.
• Eave and fascia repair with rotted header remediation above one window or door: $600–$1,400, including new drip edge and sealant work.
• Roof-to-wall tie-down upgrades on a typical 1,200–1,800 sq ft Kendall West ranch: $900–$2,200, based on how many connections the inspector requires and whether we’re already in the same roof section for other work.
• Full roof decking replacement and underlayment on a section of a 1988 CBS home: $2,500–$5,000, depending on square footage and roof pitch. This is often bundled with a reroof, not done as a standalone repair.

What moves the price in Kendall West specifically? The HVHZ wind zone means materials must carry a Miami-Dade NOA, and NOA-rated flashing, underlayment, and fasteners cost more than Florida Product Approval-only equivalents. The age of your tract home means we might discover hidden decking rot once the roof is open, and our fixed written quote accounts for that with a scope that names what we’ll do if we find it, not a vague “we’ll see” that turns into a change order. The good news: we’re local, we stock NOA materials for Kendall West jobs, and our quotes are line-item and signed before work starts. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free in-home measure and written estimate. Seniors and veterans get 10% off, and any repair over $200 earns a permanent $40 discount. Those aren’t limited-time promotions. They’re standing offers.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall West

We install and service roofing and window systems from PGT, CGI, and CWS, and we keep a running inventory of the NOA-labeled flashing components, fasteners, and sealants those systems require in Miami-Dade. If your roof repair around a skylight or window penetration needs a replacement frame or glazing, we’ll pull from brands we’re authorized to install, not whatever a supply house happens to have on the shelf. That matters in Kendall West, where an inspector will check the NOA label on the product itself, not just the paperwork. For homeowners replacing original single-pane jalousies alongside a fascia repair, PGT and CGI impact-rated units are our most common recommendations for HVHZ compliance and insurance credits.

How Kendall West’s HVHZ Rules Change the Cost and Scope of Even a Small Roof Repair

Kendall West sits inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-load jurisdiction in the United States. Every roof repair that touches a window or door connection, every skylight curb replacement, every re-flash around an exterior opening must meet Miami-Dade NOA standards, a product-approval bar that goes well beyond what Florida’s statewide system accepts. Contractors licensed only in Broward or Monroe County routinely underquote Kendall West jobs because they don’t carry NOA-rated flashing, sealant, or fasteners on their trucks. Then the Miami-Dade inspector shows up, checks the product labels, and fails the work. The homeowner eats the rework cost and the permit delay. We’ve seen it happen on SW 88th Street more than once. Our trucks are stocked for HVHZ work from the start, and our quotes assume NOA materials from the first line item.

The 1985–1995 tract homes that fill 33193 also carry original roof-to-wall straps and clips that pre-date current wind uplift code. A small repair that opens the roof-to-wall junction gives us the chance to bring those connections to modern HVHZ standards while we’re already in there. That changes the price, and it should. The alternative is leaving a roof section with connections that would fail in the wind event we’re all planning for.

Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Kendall West Homes

• Rotted decking around original skylight and HVAC curbs. The galvanized flashing and butyl sealant used in 1988 was not built for Kendall West’s humidity and sun. Once the sealant fails, water sits in the curb and rots the decking from below. By the time water shows on the ceiling, the repair is already past “caulk it and walk.”
• Fascia and eave rot that migrates down into window and door headers. Kendall West’s flat lots mean rainwater blows off the roof edge and soaks the fascia, then leaks into the framed header above doors and windows. We see this most often on the west-facing elevations of homes along SW 97th Avenue and the cross streets of Kendale Lakes border, where the afternoon storm pattern hits hardest.
• Water ponding on flat and low-slope sections. The drainage patterns on many original Kendall West lots were graded with too little slope away from the foundation. When the roof edge doesn’t push water far enough, it collects at the eave and accelerates fascia rot. A re-sloped drip edge and secondary eave flashing solve more problems than people expect.
• Non-NOA skylight or flashing components that fail Miami-Dade inspection. Someone installs a new skylight with a Florida Product Approval label but no Miami-Dade NOA, and the inspector rejects it. We see this on homes where the previous repair was done by an out-of-county contractor who didn’t know the difference. The fix is full replacement with NOA-rated curb, flashing, and glazing.

What We Saw on a Late-1980s CBS Ranch off SW 88th Street

A few months back, a Kendall West homeowner called about water staining above a row of original single-pane jalousie windows. The roof flashing had failed, wind-driven rain had soaked the framing, and the headers were soft. We pulled the old aluminum frames, found rot behind every jalousie, and had to re-set the openings with impact-rated glazing carrying a Miami-Dade NOA. The permit office did an on-site label check, and the HVHZ design pressures governed even that small repair. We adjusted the scope before quoting, because we knew the inspector would look for the NOA labels. The homeowner got one crew, one permit, one warranty, and no surprises on the invoice. That’s how we work in Kendall West. Upfront pricing, then done right the first time or we come back under the Done Right Promise.

Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: A Kendall West Comparison

If your roof repair uncovers rotted window headers and you’re deciding whether to replace with impact windows or just add hurricane shutters, here’s the tradeoff in Kendall West’s terms. Impact windows are permanent protection: no panels to drag out of the garage at 9 p.m. when a storm is 24 hours out, no hardware to maintain, and they qualify for wind-mitigation credits with your insurance carrier once the inspection is complete. Shutters are cheaper upfront, but they only protect when someone is home to deploy them, and they do nothing for the daily problems of a 1988 single-pane jalousie, heat gain, UV fading, and the air leaks that run your cooling bill up all summer. Given Kendall West’s inland heat and the fact that most 33193 homeowners are home during storm season, impact windows with a Miami-Dade NOA are the stronger long-term call. If the budget says shutters now and impact later, we’ll help you scope both so the header repair is done correctly the first time.

Florida Pays You Back

There’s a real incentives stack for Kendall West homeowners doing roof repair and impact window replacement together. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and windows with the right Miami-Dade NOA typically qualify. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which on a $15,000 opening replacement package saves real money. At the federal level, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75–$150 in this area, most Kendall West homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25% on the wind portion of the policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, we don’t guarantee them, but the stack is there and we’ll point you to the paperwork. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll walk you through which of your roof-repair-plus-window openings qualify.
