AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Kendall
Roof replacement in Kendall, FL typically runs $14,000 to $32,000 for a full tear-off and re-roof on a standard CBS ranch, with acreage properties and HVHZ wind mitigation retrofits pushing toward the higher end. Most Kendall jobs take 5 to 9 working days from tear-off to final inspection, depending on decking repairs and county permitting. If you’re staring at a failed wind mitigation inspection, a Citizens non-renewal letter, or a roof that’s been patched one too many times, call (904) 478-8983 and Ed Winslow will walk you through exactly what your Kendall property needs.
We’ve been crawling through Kendall attics and walking Kendall roof decks long enough to know the difference between a Kendale Lakes CBS ranch and a Hammocks two-story, and what each one demands from a roof system. That local knowledge means accurate scoping, honest pricing, and no surprises when the county inspector shows up.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
Winslow Windows & Doors has been locally owned and operated since 2011, and Ed Winslow’s name is on the door – and on every job we do. Kendall homeowners don’t get a ticket number or a rotating cast of subcontractors. They get one accountable owner, a published address and license number, and a crew that knows the difference between a wind mitigation retrofit on SW 127th Avenue and a standard re-roof near West Kendall Baptist Hospital.
Our Kendall customers call us because we answer the phone. Live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops. No call centers. When a windstorm tears off ridge cap at 2 a.m. and water is coming through the ceiling, someone picks up. That’s not a marketing line; it’s how we’ve run the business for over 15 years.
Every technician who steps onto a Kendall property is background-checked and arrives in uniform. You know who’s at your door before the truck pulls up. And every roof we install carries the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Winslow makes it right, period. That’s a standard of accountability written into every job.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Kendall
We scope every Kendall roof the way the county inspector will: from the deck up, with HVHZ design pressures dictating material choices before aesthetics or price ever enter the conversation. Here’s what we handle across Kendall.
Full Roof Replacement
Kendall’s housing stock is dominated by single-family CBS ranch and two-story homes built in planned tract subdivisions from the late 1960s through the early 1990s. Many of these roofs are original or second-generation, installed before post-Hurricane Andrew code reforms tightened everything. A full replacement means tearing to deck, inspecting for rot and failed strapping, replacing damaged sheathing, and installing a system engineered for current HVHZ uplift. We handle shingle, tile, and metal roofing systems across Kendall, and we never quote a tear-off without first checking what’s under the existing material.
Wind Mitigation Retrofits
This is the service that defines Kendall more than any other. When a Kendall homeowner gets a Citizens Insurance non-renewal letter citing failed wind mitigation, the trigger isn’t a coming storm – it’s an insurance math problem. A wind mitigation retrofit typically means adding or upgrading hurricane clips and straps, improving the roof-to-wall connection, and sometimes reinforcing gable ends. We’ve done hundreds of these across Kendall, and we know exactly what Miami-Dade inspectors look for on the final walkthrough. The result is usually a substantial drop in the windstorm portion of the insurance premium.
Impact-Rated Roof Windows and Skylights
Kendall homes with cathedral ceilings or open living areas often have roof windows or skylights that were never rated for HVHZ. Every replacement unit must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, which eliminates most national brands sold freely just one county north. We install impact-rated roof windows and skylights from PGT and ES Windows, both authorized brands for Winslow, with NOA documentation matched to the specific opening. This matters because the county inspector will check.
Detached Shop and ADU Roof Systems
Kendall acreage properties often include detached garages, workshops, or accessory dwelling units that need their own roof systems. County setback rules, specifically the 10-foot rear setback and separation from septic drain fields, govern where these structures can sit and how their roofs can be configured. We scope these structures before quoting, including drainage paths and grading, so the roof doesn’t redirect water toward a well head or septic field.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for eight premium brands, and on Kendall roof jobs we typically reach for PGT impact-rated roof windows, ES Windows, and Therma-Tru accessories where roofline integration matters. We stock common replacement parts for these systems locally, which means faster turnaround when a Kendall roof needs a matched skylight or an impact-rated roof window on short notice. We don’t sell off-brand substitutions, and we don’t install anything without the Miami-Dade NOA paperwork to back it up. Roof Replacement & Installation is one of our core trades, and we treat it with the same standard as our window and door work: done right the first time, or we come back.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Failed wind mitigation inspections on pre-1992 roofs. Original hurricane clips on many Kendall CBS homes are spaced 6 feet apart or are missing entirely. Today’s HVHZ standards require 4-foot spacing or tighter with 16-gauge straps. An inspector flags this and the homeowner gets an insurance letter.
- Oxidized roof penetrations and degraded flashing. Kendall’s relentless UV index and daily humidity cycles corrode aluminum flashing and dry out sealant around vents, skylights, and pipe boots years before the roofing material itself fails. Leaks often start at these penetrations.
- Improper drainage on acreage lots. Kendall properties on open lots with poor grading send water toward foundations or septic fields after a re-roof changes runoff patterns. We scope drainage before quoting, not after water pools against a stem wall.
- Detached structures ignored by previous roofers. A shop or ADU roof gets skipped on the original quote, then red-tagged later for setback encroachment or missing wind mitigation. We include every structure on the property in the initial scope.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Kendall, FL
A full tear-off and re-roof on a standard Kendall CBS ranch runs $14,000 to $22,000 for architectural shingles, with tile systems running $22,000 to $32,000 and metal standing seam on the higher end. Wind mitigation retrofits add $3,000 to $8,000 depending on what’s in the attic. Impact-rated roof windows run $2,500 to $5,000 per opening installed, and detached shop or ADU roofs run $6,000 to $18,000 depending on size and county compliance work. The thing that moves price most in Kendall is what’s hidden under the old roof: failed strapping, rotted decking, absent collar ties on 1970s trusses. We find these before quoting, not after. Call (904) 478-8983 for a free in-home measure and written quote. No trip charge inside our home county.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Kendall
Let’s put real numbers on the table for Kendall. Impact-rated roof windows and skylights generally run $800 to $1,500 per unit, with large or custom openings pushing $2,500 to $5,000 installed. Whole-home packages, meaning full tear-off plus wind mitigation plus new impact-rated penetrations, land between $8,000 and $25,000+ depending on square footage, frame material, and what the inspector requires. Opening count matters, wind zone matters, and floor height matters: a two-story home in West Kendall carries higher design pressures than a single-story ranch, and that changes strapping requirements. We measure every opening, check the attic for existing clips, and give you a written line-item quote before any work starts. No change orders. No surprises on the invoice.
Beyond the roof itself, Kendall’s specific cost drivers include county rather than municipal permitting, which adds time and review cycles. Long material hauls from Miami-Dade’s coastal suppliers mean staged deliveries. On acreage lots, septic and well setbacks can restrict staging areas and crane access. We build all of that into the scope so the number on the quote matches the number on the final invoice.
Florida Pays You Back
Kendall homeowners have access to a stack of incentives that offset roof replacement costs. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which includes roof-to-wall connections and opening protection. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, a meaningful saving on a $20,000 project. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, windstorm premium credits average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we never promise a specific credit. We do walk you through the paperwork and tell you exactly what your roof qualifies for.
One comparison worth making: impact-rated roof windows and a properly mitigated roof deck give you permanent protection, no panels to hang, no shutters to wrestle into place before a storm. A big-box retail install might sell you a skylight, but they won’t pull the Miami-Dade NOA or stand behind the wind mitigation retrofit. That’s the difference between a roof that passes inspection and a roof that triggers another insurance letter.
Building on Acreage Around Kendall
This is where Kendall roof work diverges from the rest of Miami-Dade. Kendall’s acreage properties, the sprawling CBS ranches off SW 127th Avenue, SW 137th Avenue, and the roads feeding The Hammocks, operate under county permitting rather than municipal. That changes everything about how we scope and price a roof.
County permit review for Kendall acreage re-roofs typically demands HVHZ uplift design pressures that assume continuous tie-downs from roof deck to foundation. A home in nearby Coral Gables might get re-roofed under municipal permitting with a simpler review, but a Kendall acreage home triggers engineered strapping schedules, impact-rated skylights with Miami-Dade NOAs, and sometimes truss reinforcement if the original 1970s build omitted collar ties. We factor that into the quote before you sign, not after the inspector red-tags the job.
Septic and well setbacks define where detached shops and ADUs can sit, and by extension how their roofs get built. Miami-Dade requires a 10-foot rear setback and specific separation from septic drain fields and well heads. A new detached shop roof that encroaches on a drain field gets red-tagged, and the fix is never cheap. We pull county records before quoting any detached structure in Kendall, so you know the roof we’re proposing will pass.
Material logistics are another Kendall acreage reality. Long hauls from Miami-Dade’s coastal suppliers mean staged deliveries, and staged deliveries mean materials sitting on site. Crews without covered storage watch plywood delaminate on an open Kendall lot after one afternoon thunderstorm. We stage materials under cover or time deliveries for dry-in, and we’ve been doing it long enough that our suppliers know the drill. Grading and drainage matter too: a new roof changes runoff, and on an open lot, water that used to sheet toward a swale might now pool against a stem wall. We scope drainage before we touch the roof.
On a two-acre CBS ranch off SW 127th Avenue near The Hammocks, we replaced a 1980s gable roof whose original hurricane clips were spaced 6 feet apart, too wide for current HVHZ uplift. Our crew tore to deck, added 16-gauge straps at 4-foot spacing, then re-sheathed with CDX plywood and self-adhered underlayment before installing PGT impact-rated roof windows and a standing seam panel system over the existing lath. The county inspector signed off on the wind mitigation retrofit the same day, dropping the homeowner’s Citizens premium by 34%. That’s Kendall acreage roofing done the way Kendall acreage demands it.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Kendall
Yes. Kendall falls under Miami-Dade County permitting regardless of whether the address is unincorporated, because the entire area sits within the county’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. A re-roof on a Kendall acreage home runs through county plan review, not a municipal building department, and the permit package must include HVHZ uplift calculations, strapping schedules, and NOA documentation for any impact-rated roof windows or skylights. We handle the permitting as part of the job. Call (904) 478-8983 for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through the timeline.
Miami-Dade County enforces a 10-foot rear setback and specific separation distances from septic drain fields and well heads for any detached structure. If a new shop or ADU roof encroaches on those setbacks, the county red-tags the structure and you’re looking at costly corrections. We pull county records and survey the property before quoting any detached roof in Kendall, so the placement and roofline we propose will pass inspection the first time. Call (904) 478-8983 to schedule a free site walk.
Because Kendall sits within Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, every impact-rated roof window or skylight must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance specific to the unit’s size and configuration. NOA-certified units cost more than standard skylights, typically $2,500 to $5,000 per opening installed in Kendall, and the NOA requirement filters out most national brands sold in Broward or farther north. We install NOA-certified units from PGT and ES Windows, and the documentation is included in your permit package. Call (904) 478-8983 for exact pricing on your openings.
An acreage roof in Kendall faces the same HVHZ uplift standards as a tract home, but the county inspector’s scope is often broader: continuous tie-down verification from deck to foundation, gable-end bracing checks, and scrutiny of any detached structures. Tract homes in subdivisions like Kendale Lakes typically have simpler roof geometries and easier attic access, while acreage CBS ranches frequently hide missing collar ties, failed straps, and improvised framing that only shows up during tear-off. We inspect the attic before quoting so the wind mitigation retrofit is priced accurately from day one. Call (904) 478-8983 for a free roof inspection.
Before roofing a detached structure on Kendall acreage, check that the finished roof won’t redirect runoff toward your septic drain field, well head, or foundation. Look at the existing grade: if the lot slopes toward a swale, a new roof can overwhelm it and pool water against a stem wall. We scope drainage paths during the estimate, and if we find grading that won’t handle the new runoff, we address it before the roof goes on, not after water starts pooling. Call (904) 478-8983 to book a free on-site assessment.
