AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Kendall
Roofing in Kendall is a different animal than almost anywhere else in Florida, and if you’ve lived here through even one hurricane season, you already know why. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing crews work throughout Kendall with a single focus: roof systems that pass Miami-Dade inspection the first time. If you’re staring at missing concrete tiles on a CBS ranch off Kendall Drive or weighing a standing-seam metal roof on a 1980s two-story near Dadeland, call Ed Winslow’s team at (844) 901-4551. We’ll send an estimator who actually knows what the HVHZ code means for your street, your roof deck, and your insurance premium.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 and put his name on the door, which means when our crew reroofs a home in the 33156 zip code, Ed’s reputation is under every shingle. Kendall homeowners call us because we’ve already done the hard part: we know which tile clips survive salt air near Snapper Creek, which underlayment holds up on west-facing exposures along SW 117th Avenue, and which fastener spec will pass a wind-mitigation inspection the first time. Background-checked, uniformed technicians show up when we say they will, and the person who answers the phone at 2 a.m. is a live human being, not a voicemail tree. That matters in Kendall, where a leaking roof after an afternoon thunderstorm doesn’t wait for business hours.
Kendall’s housing stock is dominated by concrete block ranch and two-story homes built between the late 1960s and early 1990s, and a large share still carry their original roofing systems. We’ve worked on enough of them to know what’s hiding under the felt: rusted nails, delaminated sheathing, and fastening patterns that predate hurricane-clip requirements entirely. That local experience is why we’re the company neighbors recommend when a roof needs real work, not a patch job.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Kendall
Shingle Roofing
Kendall’s pre-Andrew homes often still have 3-tab asphalt shingles over organic felt, and those roofs fail in sheets because the decking was never fastened with hurricane clips. We remove everything down to the trusses, resheathe where needed, and install architectural shingles rated for Miami-Dade’s wind zone. The difference isn’t cosmetic. It’s the difference between a roof that survives a Category 2 and one that ends up in your neighbor’s pool.
Tile Roofing
Concrete and clay tile roofs are everywhere in Kendall, from Country Walk to Continental Park, and most of them were installed with electro-galvanized clips that started rusting the day they went in. Salt-laden humidity accelerates that corrosion, which is why we see tile roofs losing pieces in Category 1 storms that wouldn’t touch a properly fastened system. We specify hot-dip galvanized clips and stainless fasteners on every tile roof we touch in Kendall, because the cheap spec costs more within a decade.
Metal Roofing
Standing-seam metal roofs make sense for Kendall’s heat and rain, but only if the seams and laps are rated for HVHZ wind uplift. We install metal roof systems with sealed laps and marine-grade fasteners, because the thermal expansion and salt-air pitting we see on low-slope metal roofs near Kendall Lakes opens pinholes that leak during afternoon thunderstorms. A Broward-spec metal roof will not pass Miami-Dade inspection, and we will never quote you one.
Roof Repair
Not every Kendall roof needs full replacement. We repair tile roofs that lost pieces in a storm, replace rusted flashing around vents and chimneys, and fix shingle blow-offs before they become deck damage. Every repair gets the same HVHZ-compliant materials we’d use on a full reroof. No shortcuts, even on a two-tile patch off SW 88th Street.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and CWS, among eight premium brands, and we stock the components Kendall roofs actually need: stainless tile clips, high-temp self-adhered underlayment, and impact-rated skylight flashing. When a 1990s concrete tile roof off Killian Drive loses a dozen tiles in July, we don’t wait on a parts truck from Orlando. We carry what the job requires, and our installers know these systems well enough to finish a repair in one visit when the damage is isolated.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Rusted tile clips failing wind-uplift inspection. Galvanized clips corrode in Kendall’s salt-laden humidity within a decade, and when a wind-mitigation inspector pulls a tile, the clip snaps. We see this on nearly every pre-2000 tile roof we open.
- 3-tab shingles peeling off in sheets. Pre-Andrew roofs fastened with smooth-shank nails and no hurricane clips lose entire sections during even moderate storms. Insurance inspectors flag it immediately.
- Low-slope metal roofs leaking at the laps. Thermal expansion plus salt-air pitting opens pinholes at seam laps on flat metal roofs, and afternoon thunderstorms find them fast.
- Underlayment delaminating under concrete tile. Kendall’s UV intensity and humidity break down old organic felt, which then separates from the deck and lets water track sideways into ceilings.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Kendall
In Kendall, a full shingle roof on a typical 1,800-square-foot CBS ranch runs $9,000 to $16,000 installed, depending on how much decking needs replacement. Concrete tile re-roofs on the same footprint run $18,000 to $32,000, with the higher end including hot-dip galvanized clips, new underlayment, and HVHZ-compliant flashing throughout. Standing-seam metal roofs for a similar home run $22,000 to $38,000, driven by seam profile and the level of deck reinforcement the existing truss layout requires. Tile repairs, where the structure is sound, typically run $400 to $1,800 per incident. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote. We will not change the price once the work starts.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentives stack if you plan them right. My Safe Florida Home matching grants can put up to $10,000 toward qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150 in Kendall, most homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. The numbers are not guaranteed, and your carrier sets the final credit, but the roof system that passes Miami-Dade inspection is the same one that unlocks these programs.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Kendall, FL
What moves the price in Kendall is predictable: opening count and roof complexity, wind zone requirements, floor height, and whether the deck needs resheathing. A 15-opening ranch on a single story west of the Turnpike costs less than a two-story with 25 openings and a tile roof that requires full clip replacement. The coastal-spec version of any roofing job costs 20 to 40 percent more than the inland-spec version, because of the fasteners, underlayment, and inspection-grade detailing Miami-Dade requires. We quote it once, with a fixed price and no change orders, and we offer a $40 discount on any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, and a 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule your free estimate.
One more thing, and this is the part most roofing companies won’t say out loud. On a CBS ranch off SW 88th Street, our crew replaced a 1990s concrete tile roof that lost dozens of tiles in Hurricane Irma. We found the original galvanized fasteners rusted to the point of failing wind-uplift inspection. We resheathed to HVHZ code, hot-dip galvanized every tile clip, and upgraded the underlayment to a self-adhered high-temp membrane. The job passed Miami-Dade rough-in and final, and the homeowner’s wind mitigation report now credits the full roof system. That’s what a Kendall roof should look like, and that’s the standard we hold on every job, no matter the size.

FAQs — Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Kendall
Yes. Kendall sits fully inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means your shingle roof must meet Miami-Dade NOA standards for wind uplift and large-missile impact, not just the statewide Florida Product Approval. The shingle itself must carry a Miami-Dade NOA number, and the underlayment, fasteners, and deck attachment all have to meet HVHZ wind-uplift calculations. A shingle roof quoted to Broward or Palm Beach specs will fail inspection here. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll show you exactly which NOA-rated systems apply to your home.
Most likely because the original clips were electro-galvanized steel, and Kendall’s salt-laden humidity has corroded them to the point where they no longer hold wind-uplift loads. We replace those with hot-dip galvanized clips and stainless fasteners, which is the only spec that holds up within a decade in this environment. If tiles are sliding, the underlayment is usually failing too. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free roof assessment before the next storm.
Only if the panels, seams, and fasteners carry Miami-Dade NOA ratings for the specific wind zone your home sits in. Kendall’s HVHZ requires documented large-missile and wind-uplift testing, and a metal roof that holds a generic Florida Product Approval without a Miami-Dade NOA will fail at rough-in. We install standing-seam systems engineered for HVHZ, with sealed laps and marine-grade fasteners. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule a free estimate and get the right spec for your address.
Sometimes, but you should not assume it. Many pre-1993 Kendall ranches were built with 3/8-inch plywood decking fastened with smooth-shank nails, and that combination does not meet current HVHZ uplift requirements. If your deck is sound and properly fastened, we can usually overlay new underlayment directly. If it’s delaminated or the fastening pattern fails, we resheathe the sections that need it and tell you exactly why before we start. Call (844) 901-4551 for an honest read on your deck during a free estimate.
Expect to pay 20 to 40 percent more in Kendall, and that difference is not markup. It’s the cost of hot-dip galvanized clips instead of electro-galvanized, self-adhered high-temp underlayment instead of basic felt, stainless flashing instead of painted steel, and the extra inspection-grade detailing Miami-Dade requires. A 1,800-square-foot concrete tile roof in inland Dade might run $15,000, while the same footprint in Kendall with full HVHZ compliance runs $18,000 to $24,000. The cheaper inland spec fails within a decade here, which means you pay for the roof twice. Call (844) 901-4551 for a written line-item quote that shows exactly where your money goes.
