AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Kendall
Roof replacement in Kendall runs between $11,000 and $28,000 for a typical CBS ranch, and the single biggest cost driver isn’t square footage — it’s whether your home meets Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) uplift requirements. Most Kendall homes built before 1993 don’t, which means the quote includes deck reinforcement and tie-down upgrades most roofers from Broward or Palm Beach never mention until the inspector red-tags the job. At Winslow Windows & Doors, we plan for that from day one. Call (844) 901-4551 and Ed’s team will walk your roof before we ever talk price.
Ed Winslow’s name is on the door — and on every job we do. We’ve been roofing and replacing windows across Kendall since 2011. We know what a county inspector will flag on SW 88th Street, Killian Drive, or a zero-lot-line lot off 107th Avenue, because we’ve pulled those permits and passed those inspections hundreds of times. If you’re searching for Roof Replacement & Installation done right the first time, with the paperwork to prove it, you’ve found the local crew that does exactly that.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
Kendall homeowners have a long memory for contractors who show up with a Broward County permit and a blank look when the inspector asks for HVHZ deck attachment details. We don’t play that game. Our crews work Kendall every week — from the 33156 zip over to Pinecrest and down toward Palmetto Bay — and we pull Miami-Dade permits on every single replacement. No exceptions, no shortcuts.
Reviews from Kendall customers consistently mention two things: the crew showed up when they said they would, and the final inspection passed without a punch list. That second part matters more than the first. A roof can look beautiful on day one and fail its wind-mitigation inspection three weeks later if the underlayment doesn’t carry the right NOA number. We’ve been through enough Miami-Dade roof inspections to know exactly what gets checked at rough-in, what gets checked at final, and what doesn’t get checked until your insurance company asks for the paperwork. The Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we come back — no debate, no ticket number, just Ed’s word.
Every technician who pulls up to a Kendall home is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know who’s on your property before they ring the bell. And when you call (844) 901-4551 at 7 a.m. or 11 p.m., a live person answers. Not a voicemail loop. Not a call center in another state. A person who can pull up your file and talk about your roof.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Kendall
Roof Deck Inspection and Reinforcement for HVHZ Uplift
Before a single shingle comes off, we inspect the deck. Most Kendall ranches built between 1968 and 1990 have 1×6 skip sheathing nailed with smooth shank nails that haven’t held properly since the Clinton administration. Under current HVHZ rules, that deck needs re-nailing, overlay, or full replacement to meet uplift requirements. We document everything, photograph everything, and write the reinforcement into the quote so there’s no surprise change order at rough-in.
Tile-to-Shingle Conversion with Miami-Dade NOA Underlayment
Switching from barrel tile to architectural shingles in Kendall is legal, but it’s not a swap — it’s a system change. The underlayment has to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance number, the deck has to be re-fastened for the new load path, and the final inspection will verify both. We’ve done this conversion on dozens of Kendall homes, most of them original tile roofs from the 1970s and 1980s where the tile was sound but the underlayment underneath had turned to dust.
Post-Installation Wind Mitigation Inspection and Insurance Documentation
After the roof passes final inspection, the insurance discount doesn’t just happen. Your carrier needs a completed wind mitigation report showing the roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connection, and secondary water resistance. We handle that paperwork for you. On that 1,900-square-foot CBS ranch off SW 88th Street near Killian Drive, the final inspection got the homeowner a 32% premium reduction. That’s real money, every year, for as long as they own the home.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
Most of the time, a Kendall roof replacement doesn’t hinge on the shingle brand — it hinges on the underlayment and the installation details. But when brand matters, we work with manufacturers whose products carry the Miami-Dade NOA documentation this county demands, including CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems for the window and door work that often accompanies a roof replacement on an older Kendall home. We don’t stock parts. We order per job, which means what lands on your roof is fresh, not something that’s been kicking around a warehouse in Medley for three years.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- HVHZ deck red-tags from out-of-county crews. A roofer from Broward pulls a permit and starts installing over spaced sheathing without the Miami-Dade deck attachment details. The inspector shows up at first strapping check and the job stops cold. The homeowner is left with a torn-off roof and a contractor who’s suddenly hard to reach.
- Original 1970s CBS wall-to-truss connections. Kendall’s ranch homes from the 1970s have trusses held to the walls with a few toe-nails and some hope. Current HVHZ code requires steel straps or clips. If your quote doesn’t include tie-down upgrades, the quote is incomplete.
- Debris piled on the zero-lot-line side yard. A tear-off on a 50-foot Kendall lot means there’s nowhere to put the old shingles except against the neighbor’s wall. Without temporary fencing, a gust of wind puts roofing nails in the neighbor’s pool screen and the homeowner gets a code compliance call. We fence, we tarp, we keep the swale clear.
- Underlayment failure on ‘budget’ replacements. A cheap roofer reuses the existing 3-tab underlayment over spaced sheathing, then the first July squall lifts a corner and water pours into the master bedroom before final inspection. That’s not a warranty issue. That’s a tear-off redo, and the homeowner pays for it twice.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Kendall, FL
A full tear-off and reroof on a typical Kendall ranch runs $11,000–$28,000, depending on square footage, roof complexity, and whether the deck needs re-nailing or overlay to meet HVHZ. Tile-to-shingle conversion usually lands at the higher end because of the underlayment and deck work involved. Roof deck reinforcement as a standalone job runs $3,500–$9,000. Post-installation wind mitigation inspection and paperwork runs $350–$600, and we handle it as part of the project when we do the roof.
What moves the price in Kendall: the age of your deck, whether your trusses need tie-down straps, how many layers of existing roofing have to come off, and how tight the staging is on your lot. A home on a 50-foot lot with zero-lot-line walls costs more to stage than a freestanding home with a driveway on both sides. We don’t pad quotes, and we don’t write change orders mid-job. Call (844) 901-4551 for a written, line-item estimate. It’s free, and you’ll have numbers in front of you before you commit to anything.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Kendall
For the window and door work that often accompanies a Kendall roof replacement, impact windows in this market generally run $800–$1,500 per window installed, and a whole-home package on a 15–25 opening ranch typically lands between $8,000 and $25,000 or more depending on opening sizes and frame materials. Large custom openings and second-story work push toward the top of those ranges. The roof side is separate, and the two scopes are often done together because it’s more efficient and the wind mitigation benefits stack. Free in-home measure and a written quote — no obligation, no pressure, just real numbers.
Kendall’s position in extreme South Florida means year-round humidity, intense UV, and regular Atlantic hurricane exposure. That’s why a Miami-Dade NOA underlayment is non-negotiable here — it’s not an upgrade, it’s the floor. The inspectors in this county enforce documentation more aggressively than anywhere else in Florida, and they’ve seen every shortcut there is. When we hand you the final paperwork, it’s because it already passed.
Florida Pays You Back
Kendall homeowners are sitting on one of the strongest incentive stacks in the state right now. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including roof deck reinforcement and tie-downs. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection — which runs about $75–$150 — most Kendall homeowners see a windstorm-premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. That’s a permanent discount with your carrier, not a promo. Programs change and carriers set their own numbers, so we won’t promise an exact dollar figure — but we will walk you through what applies to your home.
One comparison worth making in Kendall: impact-rated permanent protection versus hurricane shutters. Shutters require you to be home, physically strong enough to hang panels, and willing to spend an hour on a ladder while a storm approaches. Impact-rated windows and a properly strapped roof work without you lifting anything. For Kendall homeowners who travel in the summer or simply don’t want to wrestle corrugated steel at 2 a.m., the permanent route is usually the right one.
Staging a Roof Replacement on a Tight Kendall Lot
This is where Kendall roof replacements get tricky, and where we separate ourselves from the crews who don’t know the neighborhood. Most Kendall lots are 50 feet wide or less, with zero-lot-line walls on one or both sides. That means no side yard for staging, nowhere to park a 30-yard debris trailer without a swale permit, and a neighbor’s pool screen roughly 12 feet from your tear-off.
Here’s how it works on a typical Kendall job. We start with the permit — Miami-Dade, specific to your address, with the roof deck attachment details already engineered. Then we walk the lot and decide where the trailer goes, where the tear-off gets staged, and where the workers park. On that 1,900-square-foot CBS ranch off SW 88th Street near Killian Drive, the tear-off came down in the driveway while the debris trailer sat on the swale with a permit — every step routed around the neighbor’s zero-lot-line wall. The original 1984 shingles over 1×6 skip sheathing had to be re-nailed to meet current HVHZ uplift, so we added plywood overlay and upgraded the truss-to-wall connections.
We put up temporary fencing along the property line, tarp the neighbor’s lanai screen, and sweep the swale at the end of every day. If a nail finds its way into your neighbor’s pool cage, that’s on us. It’s this attention to staging that keeps a roof replacement in Kendall from becoming a block-wide dispute. And it’s why we tell every Kendall homeowner the same thing: the price we quote includes the staging. If another company’s quote doesn’t, ask why.
The other piece London doesn’t know about is the second-story CBS wall tie-downs on 1970s ranches. Miami-Dade’s HVHZ rules require wall-to-truss connections that weren’t standard before Andrew. Most out-of-county crews have never engineered them. We have, because every nails-on inspection in this county triggers the same documentation and wind-load engineering checks whether it’s a $12,000 roof or a $40,000 one.

FAQs — Roof Replacement & Installation in Kendall
Yes. Every roof replacement in Kendall requires a Miami-Dade permit with HVHZ wind-load calculations and roof deck attachment details specific to your address. A Florida roofing license alone isn’t enough. If a contractor shows up with a Broward permit or a generic state approval, the county inspector will red-tag the job at the first strapping check, and you’ll be left with a torn-off roof and a contractor who suddenly stops answering calls. Call (844) 901-4551 before you sign anything, and we’ll tell you exactly what the permit should look like.
Because Miami-Dade’s HVHZ code requires them. Most 1970s Kendall ranches have trusses held to the concrete block walls with a few toe-nails, and under current wind-load rules, that connection needs steel straps or clips to resist uplift. Your quote includes tie-down upgrades because the final inspection will require them — an honest roofer writes them into the price upfront instead of springing a change order after the roof is torn off. For an exact line-item scope on your home, call (844) 901-4551.
You can switch. Tile-to-shingle conversion is legal in Kendall as long as the underlayment carries a Miami-Dade NOA number and the deck is re-fastened for the new load path. It’s not a simple swap — the roof system changes, and the final inspector will verify both the underlayment and the deck attachment. We’ve done tile-to-shingle conversions on dozens of Kendall homes, most of them original barrel tile from the 1970s and 1980s where the underlayment underneath had already failed.
Carefully. On a 50-foot Kendall lot with a zero-lot-line wall, we stage the tear-off in the driveway, park the debris trailer on the swale with a county permit, and route every step around the neighbor’s property line. Temporary fencing goes up along the property line, and we tarp anything within 15 feet that could catch roofing debris. The staging cost is built into the quote — if another company’s quote doesn’t mention it, ask whether they’ve ever done a roof on a zero-lot-line lot before, because the answer usually explains the price difference. Call (844) 901-4551 for a staging-specific quote on your lot.
The final inspection checks the roof deck attachment, the roof-to-wall connections, the underlayment NOA documentation, and the finished roof covering against the permit drawings. If any of those don’t match, the inspector red-tags the job and you’re left chasing the contractor. We’ve been through enough of these inspections to know what gets checked at every stage, and we don’t schedule the final until the work actually passes. The Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we come back and fix it — no debate.
