Roof Repair and Replacement in Kendall, FL

Much of Kendall was developed from the 1960s onward, so one street can hold original ranch homes, added-on wings and newer rebuilds. The common pitched roof is concrete tile. Older houses were often reroofed more than once, and some still carry shingle or a flat section over a garage, porch or addition.

Tile rarely fails first. The underlayment beneath it ages out, flashings crack at walls and vents, and a few tiles slip or break. Flat sections fail at seams, drains and edges, where water sits. Knowing which kind of roof you have tells us where to look first.

Hurricane Andrew crossed southern Miami-Dade in August 1992, and tougher building rules followed, which is part of why roofing here is regulated more tightly than in most of Florida. Miami-Dade and Broward sit in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and roof materials need Miami-Dade product approval.

Much of Kendall is unincorporated, which generally means permits go through Miami-Dade County. Check your address with your local building office, because nearby municipalities run their own permitting.

Many Kendall subdivisions have homeowners associations. Some set rules on tile color, profile or approval before a re-roof. Get the association's requirements before you pick a material, and we will work from them.
