Residential Roofing in Kendale Lakes

Residential Roofing in Kendale Lakes means dealing with CBS concrete-block homes from the 1970s and 1980s, most with hip roofs that were originally finished in barrel tile or flat modified bitumen and then hurriedly replaced after Hurricane Andrew. A typical residential re-roof here runs $14,000 to $32,000 depending on square footage, roof slope, and what the tear-off uncovers. The compressed aging curve in this western Miami-Dade pocket means entire streets are hitting end-of-life at the same time. We regularly re-roof three or four houses on the same Kendale Lakes street in a single season.

Full Tear-Off and Re-Roof

When a roof has failed underlayment and water-damaged decking, a full tear-off is the honest answer. We remove down to the deck, document what we find, and only then price any structural work in writing. The job includes new underlayment, flashing, and your choice of GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, or Tamko shingles.

Roof Replacement Over Existing Decking

If the existing sheathing is sound and properly attached, a re-roof can avoid the cost of full decking replacement. But here’s the Kendale Lakes-specific catch: post-Andrew replacements from 1993 to 1996 were often installed before Miami-Dade’s secondary water barrier mandate. We’ll check for that, and if it’s missing, it goes into the written quote before we pull a permit.

Roof Maintenance in Kendale Lakes

Roof Maintenance in Kendale Lakes isn’t optional – it’s what stands between your roof and the county’s 60-plus inches of annual rainfall. Flat and low-slope sections are everywhere here, and ponding water plus failed membrane laps is a leading failure mode between storm seasons. A routine maintenance visit for a Kendale Lakes single-family home typically runs $250 to $600, depending on roof size and accessibility. What we catch during that visit almost always costs less than what we’d find after a season of water intrusion.

Inspection and Flashing Repair

We check valleys, penetrations, and every flashing point where barrel tile or shingles meet walls and chimneys. In Kendale Lakes, the post-Andrew roofs often fail at these exact transitions because the old underlayment has deteriorated beneath what still looks fine from the curb.

Resealing Flat and Low-Slope Sections

Membrane laps lift and split after decades of Miami-Dade sun and rain. We inspect modified bitumen or single-ply sections for failed seams, ponding, and uplifted edges, then reseal or replace the affected membrane. If the damage is extensive, we’ll tell you straight and give a written price for a new low-slope system.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendale Lakes

We install and repair GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral roofing systems. For Kendale Lakes specifically, Atlas and Tamko architectural shingles hold up well to our heat and rain cycles, and Boral barrel tile is a common match for the original 1970s CBS roof profiles still present on many homes. We stock the most-needed flashing, underlayment, and ridge components locally so turnaround on repairs doesn’t stall waiting on a distributor.

Common Roofing Company Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes

• Failed underlayment on post-Andrew re-roofs. Homes re-roofed between 1993 and 1996 were often done before Miami-Dade required secondary water barriers. The old felt has disintegrated, and water wicks into the decking at valleys and penetrations without showing up on the ceiling until the damage is already significant.
• Toenail-only rafter connections. Many CBS homes in Kendale Lakes that survived Andrew with partial damage were never retrofitted with proper roof-to-wall hurricane straps. A re-roofing job here routinely uncovers toenail-only connections at the top plate, which must be addressed in the permit before we can sign off.
• Ponding on flat and low-slope sections. With 60-plus inches of annual rain, flat or low-pitch sections become a breading ground for failed membrane laps and slow leaks between storm seasons. This is one of the most common calls we get, especially after the summer rain pattern settles in.
• Original barrel tile over exhausted decking. Homes near Kendale Lakes Golf & Country Club still carry original 1970s barrel tile that looks fine from the ground. Once we peel back the field tile, we often find soft decking and rotted valleys underneath. That’s a structural fix, not a cosmetic one, and it goes into the written quote before we order materials.

FAQs About Roofing Company in Kendale Lakes

How do I know if my Kendale Lakes roof was installed in the post-Andrew rush and is now due?

Look at your home’s construction or major repair permits, or check with a roofing contractor who can date the nail pattern, underlayment type, and shingle or tile condition. Homes re-roofed between 1993 and early 1996 were almost certainly installed before Miami-Dade’s secondary water barrier mandate, and those materials are now 28 to 32 years old, which is past the service life of most felt and shingle systems. If the neighbors on your street are all re-roofing at the same time, that’s the post-Andrew curve in action. Call (743) 200-8347 and we’ll inspect it and tell you exactly what’s aging and what still has life left.

What is a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) and why does it matter for my re-roof?

An NOA is a product approval issued by Miami-Dade County that certifies a specific roofing product, system, and installation method for use in the high-velocity hurricane zone. Products without an active NOA cannot legally be installed on a permitted roof in Kendale Lakes. For you it means the materials on your roof have been tested for wind uplift, and the installation has to match the approved assembly exactly, which is why we include that layer of verification in every Kendale Lakes quote.

Will opening up my roof uncover problems that aren’t in the original quote?

Sometimes that’s unavoidable, and that’s exactly why we inspect first, write allowances into the contract for exactly this scenario, and never proceed with anything un-priced. On a 1978 CBS home near the Kendale Lakes Golf & Country Club, we pulled back the field tile and found the old felt had disintegrated and about 12 squares of decking were soft. We documented it, wrote a change order, got the homeowner’s signature, and only then ordered the decking and secondary water barrier. No surprises.

How does the county’s 60-plus inches of annual rain affect a low-slope roof in Kendale Lakes?

Sixty-plus inches of rain falling on a low-slope or flat roof means ponding water is going to sit on membrane laps and penetrations far longer than a steep hip roof would allow. This accelerates lifting, splits, and leaks, especially between storm seasons when the sun bakes the membrane and the afternoon showers pound it. We recommend an annual maintenance check specifically for flat and low-slope sections in Kendale Lakes. Call (743) 200-8347 to schedule one.

Can you replace my roof without a full tear-off if the decking is still sound?

Yes, if the existing sheathing is structurally sound, properly fastened to the rafters or trusses, and still dry. But on post-Andrew homes in Kendale Lakes, the underlayment has often failed even if the decking is intact, so we’ll verify every section as we go. If we find missing secondary water barriers or toenail-only connections, those still get addressed in the permit and priced in writing before we proceed.
