AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Kendall
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Kendall isn’t a one-size-fits-all decision. The roof that works on a 1978 CBS ranch in Kendale Lakes isn’t always the right call for a two-story off Killian Parkway, and the product you choose has to stand up to hurricane wind loads, relentless UV, and daily humidity cycles that chew through cheaper materials fast. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team has been protecting Kendall homes since Ed Winslow founded the company in 2011. If you’re weighing a roof repair or full replacement, call (904) 478-8983 and we’ll walk you through what actually makes sense for your house, your block, and your insurance situation.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Kendall’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Kendall homeowners tell us the same thing again and again: they want a company that picks up the phone, shows up when it says it will, and doesn’t vanish after the check clears. That’s the bar we built this business around. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door – and on every job we do in Kendall. When you call, a live person answers. Not a voicemail loop, not a call center. Someone who can actually talk about your roof.
We know Kendall’s housing stock because we’ve worked on hundreds of homes here. The concrete block and stucco construction that defines neighborhoods like West Kendall, Kendall West, and Country Walk handles wind differently than wood frame, and the roof-to-wall connections on homes built before Hurricane Andrew often need specific attention. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and local. You’ll know exactly who’s pulling up to your house. And the Done Right Promise means if we don’t get it right, we make it right. That’s not a warranty card in a drawer. That’s Ed’s word.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Kendall
Every roof in Kendall faces the same trio of challenges: wind, water, and sun. How you handle them depends on your home’s age, your roofline, and your long-term plans. Here’s what we do most often for Kendall homeowners.
Tile Roof Repair and Replacement
Kendall is tile roof country. Barrel tile and flat concrete tile dominate the subdivisions off SW 88th Street and throughout the Hammocks, and for good reason – tile handles UV exposure and heat better than almost anything else. But tile roofs need attention after storms, and broken or shifted tiles let water into the underlayment fast. We repair cracked and displaced tiles, replace rotted underlayment, and match existing profiles so repairs blend with the original roof. If your tile roof is past repair, we do full replacements with new underlayment, battens, and fasteners rated for Miami-Dade wind loads.
Shingle Roof Installation and Repair
Architectural and asphalt shingles are common on Kendall homes from the late 1980s through the 1990s, especially in areas where builders cut costs on roofing material. Shingles are affordable to install and repair, but they don’t love Kendall’s humidity. We see granule loss, curling, and algae staining on shingle roofs all over Kendall. We install high-wind-rated shingles with proper nailing patterns and starter strips that meet current code. If you’ve got a leak or missing shingles after a storm, we can often complete the repair the same week.
Metal Roof Repair and Replacement
Metal roofing has been growing in Kendall, and we understand why. Standing seam and metal tile systems shrug off wind, shed rain fast, and reflect solar heat in a way that keeps attic temperatures down. Metal roofs are a bigger upfront investment, but they’re the closest thing Kendall homeowners can get to a set-it-and-forget-it roof. We handle everything from isolated panel replacements to full tear-offs and standing seam installs. For homes in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, we specify the panel profile, gauge, and fastener schedule to match the engineering, not just the look.
Wind Mitigation and Roof-to-Wall Upgrades
Here’s something most roofing companies in Kendall won’t tell you upfront: your roof is only as strong as the connections holding it to your walls. Roof replacement is the single best time to upgrade your roof-to-wall ties, add a secondary water barrier, and bring your roof deck attachment up to current code. These upgrades show up directly on your wind mitigation report, and they translate into insurance premium credits. We include this conversation with every roof estimate in Kendall – not as an upsell, but because leaving it out means leaving money on the table with your carrier.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We’re an authorized installer for eight premium brands, and that matters in Kendall because not every brand’s products are approved for the Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone. When we specify a roof or window package, we’re choosing from product lines we’re factory-trained to install – including ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and Therma-Tru for door and window components. We keep common parts and materials in local stock for Kendall jobs, which means fewer delays when a repair can’t wait. You don’t need to know brand names to get a good roof. But you do need a contractor who knows which products actually pass inspection in Kendall – and which ones don’t.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Original jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows failing HVHZ wind-load rules. Homes built before Hurricane Andrew in Kendale Lakes and The Hammocks often still have original windows that can’t pass a wind mitigation inspection. That failure blocks insurance renewals and forces window replacement before a roof claim can even be processed. We see this on at least half the homes we visit in older Kendall subdivisions.
- Oxidized aluminum frames and degraded weatherstripping from daily UV and humidity. Kendall’s sun and moisture eat aluminum and rubber seals faster than most people expect. The result is air leaks that drive up cooling costs and trigger failed wind mitigation reports. It’s a slow, invisible process until the inspection comes back with bad news.
- Uncertified replacement windows installed before Miami-Dade NOA rules were enforced. We’ve walked into Kendall homes where a previous contractor installed windows with no Notice of Acceptance documentation. The homeowner paid for new windows and still can’t pass inspection. If there’s no NOA sticker and no product approval number, the insurance company treats those windows like they don’t exist.
- Roof-to-wall connections that don’t meet current HVHZ requirements on pre-Andrew homes. Older truss and rafter attachments were often nailed, not strapped. That’s the weak link in a lot of Kendall roofs. During a reroof, adding approved straps and clips is one of the highest-value upgrades you can make, and it’s an insurance credit line item on the wind mitigation form.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Kendall, FL
Roof pricing in Kendall runs wide, and that’s honest. A basic shingle roof on a modest ranch can start around $8,000 to $12,000 for a full replacement. Tile roofs run higher – usually $18,000 to $35,000 depending on tile type, underlayment, and the condition of the existing deck. Metal roofing typically falls between $20,000 and $45,000 for a whole-home standing seam install. Repairs are their own category: a small shingle patch might be $300 to $600, a tile repair with underlayment work $500 to $1,200, and a metal panel replacement $600 to $1,500. What actually moves the number in Kendall is your roof’s size, pitch, access, and whether the job includes wind mitigation upgrades. A cheap quote that skips the secondary water barrier or leaves old roof-to-wall ties in place is not a bargain – it’s a future insurance problem. Call (904) 478-8983 for a free, written, line-item estimate. No trip charge in our home county.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Kendall
Here’s a tighter breakdown for the roofing side of the work, because Kendall homeowners ask us this constantly:
| Item | Typical Range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Shingle roof replacement (whole home) | $8,000 – $15,000 |
| Tile roof replacement (whole home) | $18,000 – $35,000 |
| Metal roof replacement (standing seam) | $20,000 – $45,000 |

These ranges assume a typical Kendall single-family home – concrete block construction, 1,500 to 3,000 square feet, one or two stories. Your price moves with roof pitch, number of valleys, tear-off layers, and whether you’re adding impact-rated windows at the same time. We do free in-home measures and written quotes, so you’ll never sign anything without seeing the exact number first.
Florida Pays You Back
Kendall homeowners have access to real money right now for wind-mitigation upgrades. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation work, including roof-to-wall ties, secondary water barriers, and impact-rated openings. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And once you’ve passed a wind mitigation inspection – which typically costs $75 to $150 – your windstorm premium credit often lands around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. We can’t guarantee what your carrier will approve, but we’ll give you the documentation to file for everything you’re eligible for. That’s part of the job.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Kendall
Yes, in almost every case. Original jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows from the 1970s and 1980s don’t carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, and they can’t be documented as impact-rated or design-pressure compliant. That means the wind mitigation inspector has no path to mark those openings as protected, which drags down the rating and typically triggers a non-renewal or a heavy premium surcharge from Citizens and other carriers. The fix is replacement with NOA-approved impact windows. Call (904) 478-8983 and we’ll review your current windows and tell you exactly what needs to change.
Brands like PGT, CGI, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and Mr-Glass all carry Miami-Dade NOA documentation for specific product lines and configurations. But here’s the catch: the NOA is product-specific and configuration-specific, not brand-wide. A brand can sell approved and unapproved lines. When we quote Kendall homes, we pull the NOA for your exact window size, design pressure, and installation method – and we put the stickers on the units after install. If a quote doesn’t reference NOA numbers, it’s not HVHZ compliant, period. Call us for a written quote that includes documentation.
A failed wind mitigation inspection in Kendall often triggers a non-renewal notice from Citizens, which is required by law to enforce windstorm standards in high-risk zones. You’ll typically get a window – 30 to 90 days – to complete remediation and schedule a re-inspection before the policy lapses. If you don’t fix it, you’re looking at a much more expensive surplus lines policy or no wind coverage at all. We handle this end to end in Kendall: we replace the failed openings, provide the NOA documentation, and coordinate with your inspector for the re-inspection. Call (904) 478-8983 as soon as the letter arrives.
“Impact windows” is a phrase any contractor can put on a quote. HVHZ compliance is a documentation standard. A compliant quote includes specific Miami-Dade NOA numbers for every opening, design pressure ratings matched to your floor height and wind zone, laminated glass interlayers where required, and an installation method that preserves the product approval. A quote that doesn’t reference NOA numbers or design pressures is not a compliant quote, even if the price looks good. We see this in Kendall regularly – homeowners who paid for “impact” windows and still failed inspection. Don’t let that be you. We’ll show you the difference line by line.
Yes. The Miami-Dade NOA is only valid when the product is installed according to the manufacturer’s approval documents and by a licensed contractor who records the installation. That means the right fasteners, the right anchoring schedule, the right flashing, and the final sticker on the unit. A window installed incorrectly can void the NOA even if the product itself is approved. In Kendall, that’s the difference between passing and failing a wind mitigation re-inspection. Winslow Windows & Doors is licensed, insured, and we’ve been installing NOA-compliant windows here since 2011. Call for a free estimate and we’ll make sure your installation actually counts.
Your roof and your windows are one system. They either work together against a hurricane or they fail together. In Kendall, that’s not a theoretical conversation – it’s the difference between keeping your insurance and losing it, between a dry house and a wet one. We’ve been doing this work in Kendall for over a decade. We know the homes, the codes, and the inspectors.
