AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Kendale Lakes
Roof replacement in Kendale Lakes, FL typically costs between $14,000 and $32,000 for a standard single-story CBS home, depending on square footage, sheathing condition, and the roof-to-wall retrofit work the HVHZ wind code almost always triggers. Most tear-offs take 3 to 5 working days once materials are on site, and we handle every permit, inspection, and Miami-Dade NOA requirement without you chasing paperwork. If you’re seeing missing shingles, water stains on the ceiling, or a wind mitigation report flagged failed strapping, call Winslow Windows & Doors at (844) 901-4551 for a free in-home roof evaluation across Kendale Lakes.
We know what opening up a 1970s or 1980s Kendale Lakes roof actually exposes. We’ve pulled back shingles on SW 88th Street, near Bent Tree, and around the 33183 zip code and found rotted OSB, missing roof-to-wall clips, and failed waterproofing where old Florida room additions meet the main roofline. That’s the real work in this neighborhood. It’s not just shingles. It’s what’s underneath once the tear-off starts.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendale Lakes’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every roof we install in Kendale Lakes. Since 2011, we’ve built our reputation the hard way: written allowances for the surprises everyone knows exist in this housing stock, calls answered by a live person at 2 a.m., and a Done Right Promise that means if it isn’t done right, we make it right. That’s a lasting standard no national chain will match.
Kendale Lakes homeowners call us because we don’t hand them a vague estimate and hope the tear-off goes smoothly. We inspect the roof deck, attic access, and exterior wall connections before we write the number. We walk the neighborhood constantly, and we know the failure patterns on these CBS ranchers: original 1979 asphalt shingle, no peel-and-stick underlayment, aluminum fascia corroded from a decade of 70% humidity. When a wind mitigation inspector flags missing clips near Kendall Drive, we know exactly what that means because we’ve fixed it dozens of times.
Every roof job in Kendale Lakes gets a background-checked, uniformed crew that shows up on time, a written line-item quote that doesn’t change once work starts unless you approve a change in writing, and a call that a real person actually answers. Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Kendale Lakes
Before you read the service list, understand this: a roof replacement in Kendale Lakes is not a commodity shingle job. It’s a structural and waterproofing project governed by the High Velocity Hurricane Zone wind code. Our Roof Replacement & Installation team handles every layer of that scope.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement
Most Kendale Lakes homes were built with three-tab asphalt shingles rated for maybe 15 to 20 years, and many are now well past that. We install architectural shingles with Miami-Dade NOA approval, a peel-and-stick underlayment, and new roof-to-wall strapping wherever the existing connections fail a current wind mitigation inspection. A typical 1,800 square foot Kendale Lakes rancher runs $14,000 to $22,000, including tear-off and new flashing at every penetration.
Tile Roof Replacement
Some Kendale Lakes homes, particularly larger lots along the lake frontages, have original barrel or flat concrete tile. Tile replacement costs more because the underlayment replacement is mandatory under current code, and broken tiles must be matched or the whole field replaced. Expect $25,000 to $38,000 for a mid-size CBS home, and know that HVHZ uplift requirements mean the deck fastening gets scrutinized harder than a shingle roof.
Metal Roof Installation
Standing seam and 5V crimp metal roofs are gaining ground in Kendale Lakes for one reason: they survive large-missile impact better than anything else and they weigh less than tile on aging trusses. Metal installed over a solid, redecked substrate runs $22,000 to $35,000 depending on gauge, seam profile, and whether we’re adding strapping to the roof-to-wall connection. The UV intensity at this latitude will chew through cheap paint in five years, so we use factory-finished systems with a transferable finish warranty.
Roof Decking and Sheathing Replacement
This is the allowance line item you cannot skip on a Kendale Lakes roof replacement. The original plywood or OSB on a 1980s CBS home has often been wet for years behind jalousie window headers or failed patio enclosure flashing. We write a plywood redecking allowance into the contract before tear-off so you’re never surprised. When we open the roof and find rot, we photograph it, price the additional sheathing in writing, and get your approval before we cut anything out.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendale Lakes
We’re authorized installers for eight premium product lines, and for roof work in Kendale Lakes we lean on PGT for impact-rated roof systems, CGI for heavy-wind-profile configurations, and CWS for custom metal and flashing applications. These are Miami-Dade NOA-listed products engineered for the wind zone this neighborhood sits in, not off-the-shelf builders’ grade from a big-box aisle. We keep fast-turnaround availability on these lines for Kendale Lakes customers, because when a wind mitigation report or a leak is holding up a roofing permit, waiting four weeks on materials isn’t acceptable.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes
- Missing roof-to-wall straps on original 1970s and 1980s CBS construction. These homes were built before Hurricane Andrew changed the code. A current HVHZ wind mitigation inspection will flag the missing clips, and the fix happens while the roof deck is open. That’s a code-triggered retrofit, not an upsell.
- Failed waterproofing where rear Florida room additions meet the main roofline. The original flashing detail on many Kendale Lakes patio enclosures was never designed for 70% year-round humidity plus wind-driven rain. We find rotted sheathing spreading under the roof edge every time we tear off around a jalousie header.
- Non-compliant jalousie window openings integrated with the roofline. If a Florida room has original aluminum jalousies, those openings fail large-missile impact tests. The inspector may require the entire opening to be rebuilt before the roof work is signed off, which turns a small repair into a full opening replacement.
- UV-baked underlayment. The South Florida sun at this latitude destroys asphalt-saturated felt faster than central or north Florida. We see underlayment on 15-year-old roofs in Kendale Lakes that looks 40 years old, fully dried out and cracking at the laps. Every replacement here gets a peel-and-stick or high-temperature self-adhered underlayment.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Kendale Lakes, FL
Real numbers for this market. An asphalt shingle tear-off and replacement on a single-story CBS Kendale Lakes home runs roughly $14,000 to $22,000. Tile comes in at $25,000 to $38,000. Standing seam metal lands between $22,000 and $35,000. Whole-home packages with full sheathing redecking, new strapping, and impact-rated vents can push past $40,000 on larger lots. What moves the number: opening count, roof-to-wall connection condition, whether we need to rebuild jalousie-related openings along the roofline, and how much plywood has to go. We give you a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote that shows every allowance before you sign.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Kendale Lakes
Let’s anchor the comparison. Impact windows elsewhere in our Kendale Lakes service area run $800 to $1,500 per window installed, with single-hung units at $900 to $1,800 and large or custom openings at $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home window packages in this neighborhood generally land between $8,000 and $25,000 or more. A roof is a bigger number because the scope is structural. The takeaway: if you’re doing windows and a roof in the same Kendale Lakes home, we can coordinate both scopes so the wind mitigation inspection, permit, and wall-to-roof connections are handled once. Free in-home measure and written quote on both.
Florida Pays You Back
Kendale Lakes homeowners have real incentive money available right now, and we’ll help you document the work so you can claim what you qualify for. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including roof-to-wall retrofits. Florida exempts Kendale Lakes Impact Windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind mitigation inspection at $75 to $150, most Kendale Lakes homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of the premium. Programs and carriers set the final numbers. We’ll give you the documentation trail for every NOA number, design pressure rating, and installation detail the inspector needs.
One comparison worth making: permanent roof and window protection beats hurricane shutters every September. Shutters have to be stored, hauled out, and hung by hand before every storm, and they do nothing for UV deterioration or a leak that started in April. A properly installed impact roof on a Kendale Lakes home protects year-round with zero panel-hanging required.

FAQs — Roof Replacement & Installation in Kendale Lakes
Yes. Every roofing product, from the shingle or tile to the underlayment and the roof-to-wall strapping system, must carry a Miami-Dade NOA listing for use in Kendale Lakes and the rest of the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. A NOA is more stringent than the Florida Building Code applied in Broward County, and the inspector will verify every NOA number on the job card before sign-off. We pull permits with the NOA documentation attached, so the inspection passes on the first visit. Call (844) 901-4551 if your current roofer can’t produce an NOA for the materials on your estimate.
Because the original sheathing was rotten or water-damaged, and the inspector won’t sign off on new roofing over a compromised deck. On 1970s and 1980s Kendale Lakes CBS homes, failed waterproofing around rear Florida rooms and corroded jalousie headers often lets moisture sit against the roof edge for years. When we open the roof, the damage is right there. The reason your neighbor had an extra line item is that the original deck was no longer structurally sound. We handle this with a written allowance in the contract before tear-off, so the number is in front of you from day one, not added as an afterthought.
In Kendale Lakes, a wind mitigation inspection directly controls what has to be done before the roof permit closes. The inspector checks roof-to-wall connections, the roof deck attachment, the underlayment type, and opening protection. If the original 1970s straps are missing or the deck nails are spaced too far apart, those items get corrected during the replacement because the code now requires it. The upside: a completed wind mitigation report typically triggers a 25% average credit on the windstorm portion of your premium. The downside of skipping it: you pay for a new roof and still get flagged later. We recommend the inspection before the replacement, not after.
In most cases, no. Original aluminum jalousie windows from the 1980s cannot be retrofitted to meet HVHZ large-missile impact requirements. If the openings are integrated with the roofline, the building inspector will require a full demolition and rebuild of the window openings before the roof work is approved. That’s a code trigger, not a choice on our part. What starts as one Florida room roof replacement often turns into a Window Replacement in Kendale Lakes project once insurance or the inspector flags the jalousies. We’ll walk you through exactly what the inspector will require before we tear anything off.
Design pressure is the wind load, measured in pounds per square foot, that a roof assembly must withstand without failing. In Kendale Lakes, the required design pressure is dictated by the HVHZ wind zone, which is the strictest in the United States. Roof materials, underlayment, and roof-to-wall connections all carry design pressure ratings, and the inspector matches those ratings to the specific opening and roof slope. We never install a roof product rated below the required design pressure for your exact location, and we document every rating on the permit paperwork. For an exact evaluation of what your roof needs to meet the current code, call (844) 901-4551 and schedule a free estimate.
