AfterFast, Reliable Roof Repair Across Kendall
Roof repair in Kendall costs between $350 and $1,800 for most common fixes, with full underlayment replacement on a tile roof running $4,500 to $9,500 depending on square footage. We tell you the price before we touch your roof, in writing, and we stand behind every repair with a written guarantee. If you’ve got a ceiling stain, a lifted tile, or water coming through a vent boot, call (945) 303-9821 and talk to a live person right now. Not a voicemail. A person.
Kendall is where we do some of our most detailed work. The homes here are mostly concrete block structures built between 1975 and 1995, and a lot of them carry tile roofs that look fine from the street but hide failing underlayment underneath. We know what that looks like before we climb the ladder, because we see it on this block, in Sunset Park, off Killian Drive, in Country Walk, every single week.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Is Kendall’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
We answer the phone. That’s the bare minimum, and somehow it’s the thing Kendall homeowners tell us they couldn’t get from their last roofer. Greg Holloway runs our Kendall crews, and the standard is this: a live person picks up, day or night, and you get a written price before any work begins.
Our Roof Repair team works Kendall neighborhoods regularly. We know the barrel-tile profile common off SW 88th Street. We know the low-slope sections over lanais in The Crossings. We know what a 1988 roof looks like when the post-Andrew underlayment starts to go, and we’ll tell you honestly if a spot repair will hold or if it won’t. Most customers who call us for the first time have already been burned once: a crew that showed up three days late, a price that changed at the door, a patch that leaked again in a month. We built our process to be the opposite of that.
Every repair gets a written guarantee before the crew leaves the property. If it fails inside the guarantee window, we come back free under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. No invoice, no argument. That’s the Kingswell Way: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, come back if it fails.
Metal Roof Repair in Kendall
Metal Roof Repair in Kendall usually means addressing seam separation, loose fasteners, or corroded flashing on standing-seam panels or metal shingle systems installed over the last 15 to 20 years. Because Kendall sits inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, any replacement panel or fastener must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), which narrows the field considerably from what you’d find at a generic supplier. Expect to pay $450 to $1,600 for typical seam or flashing repairs, and more if sections of panel need to come off.
Standing-Seam Panel Fastener Failure
We see this on newer metal roofs in west Kendall, especially on homes with wide open exposure toward the Everglades. Wind-driven rain works under the seam caps when fasteners back out, and the leak shows up at the ridge or along a purlin line. We replace fasteners with NOA-approved equivalents and re-secure the seam in the same visit.
Corroded Metal Flashing at Chimneys and Curbs
Older metal roofs on 1980s-era Kendall homes often have galvanized flashing at chimneys and HVAC curbs that has simply rusted through. We cut out the failed section, form a replacement from the same gauge material, and seal it to the NOA standard Miami-Dade inspection requires.
Commercial Roof Repair in Kendall
Commercial Roof Repair in Kendall covers low-slope modified bitumen, TPO, and built-up systems on the retail centers and professional buildings along Kendall Drive, SW 117th Avenue, and the Baptist Hospital corridor. Most commercial calls involve ponding water or a drain that’s letting go. Expect $650 to $2,400 for a typical penetration or seam repair on a low-slope membrane, with full drain replacement or larger section work priced accordingly.
TPO Weld Failures on Low-Slope Buildings
Kendall’s afternoon thunderstorms hit fast, and a weak seam on a TPO roof becomes a waterfall in ten minutes. We inspect the weld with a probe, identify the failed run, and re-weld with hot-air equipment using material from GAF or Owens Corning depending on the existing membrane. The repair is water-testable before we leave.
Drain and Scupper Leaks on Older Membrane Roofs
Commercial buildings from the 1980s in Kendall often have cast-iron drains that have separated from the deck. We reset the drain bowl, patch the membrane, and re-flash the assembly. This is the repair that prevents the slow, steady decking rot that turns a $900 drain fix into a $30,000 roof replacement.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We work with materials from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, which means the product on your roof matches the home and the code, not whatever happens to be sitting in a supplier’s truck that morning. For Kendall specifically, that matters more than almost anywhere else in Florida. Every product installed in this zip code has to carry a Miami-Dade NOA. We stock NOA-compliant replacement tile, underlayment, flashing, and sealants for Kendall jobs, so we’re not waiting on a part that turns out to be illegal to install here. Fast turnaround doesn’t mean cutting corners; it means we planned for this market.
Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Failed underlayment under good tile. Kendall’s post-Andrew tile roofs often look intact from the ground, but the 30-lb felt underneath has disintegrated. The tile won’t leak by itself; the underlayment does. We see this on 1992-1994 re-roofs all over Kendall, and it changes the repair conversation completely.
- Vent boot and pipe collar failures. Kendall’s June-through-September rain pattern exposes cracked rubber boots quickly. A $275 vent boot replacement done right beats a ceiling repair and mold remediation down the road.
- Flat roof ponding on lanais and porches. Many Kendall homes have a flat section over a lanai or front entry. After years of afternoon downpours, the membrane sags and water sits. We patch the membrane and address the deck drainage so it stops pooling.
- Wind-driven rain penetration at gable ends. The western suburban edge of Kendall, up against the Everglades, gets alternating sun and wind-driven moisture that pushes rain sideways into gable-end flashing. We replace the flashing and seal the rake edge.

We were called to a 1986 CBS home in the Sunset Park subdivision off SW 72nd Street where the homeowner reported one staining on a bedroom ceiling. When our tech walked the tile, the barrel tile was sound but the post-Andrew 30-lb felt underlayment had failed across the whole field of the roof, so the “leak repair” became a full tile-lift-and-relay with a new NOA-compliant two-layer underlayment system. Because the lot was tight with a shared driveway, we staged material on the swale, protected the neighbor’s fascia with plywood, and worked within county noise hours to keep the block onside.
That job is worth understanding. Because Kendall sits entirely inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, every roof-repair product we install, even a single replacement bundle of architectural shingles or a tube of sealant, must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA). That approval layer doesn’t apply in neighboring Broward County and disqualifies many products that are legal just 20 miles north. A roofer who doesn’t know that will bid you a product that fails inspection, and then you’re paying twice. We don’t let that happen.
If you’re looking for Roof Repair in Kendall done the way it should have been done the first time, talk to us. Greg and the crew know this neighborhood, the code, and the difference between a patch that holds and a patch that won’t survive the afternoon downpour.

FAQs About Roof Repair in Kendall
Because one ceiling stain on a 1985 to 1994 Kendall tile roof often means the underlayment beneath the entire field has failed, not just that one spot. The concrete tile looks fine and is fine, but it was never the waterproof layer. The 30-lb felt installed after Hurricane Andrew degrades, and once it fails, water migrates under the tile and shows up wherever the deck happens to be lowest. A $500 patch on that roof cannot hold. We’ll show you photos from the roof before recommending anything, and the written estimate covers exactly the work you approve. Call (945) 303-9821 to schedule a free inspection.
Because Kendall lies entirely within Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest roofing product approval jurisdiction in the United States. That’s a local fact, not a preference. Every product we install in Kendall must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Products that legally pass the Florida Building Code may still be rejected here if they lack the NOA stamp. You’ll pay slightly more for NOA-compliant materials, and you’ll pass inspection the first time instead of failing final on a technicality. Ask any roofer bidding your Kendall job to name the NOA numbers on the products they’re quoting.
A shared driveway or zero-lot-line condition changes how we get materials to your roof and where we stage them. We may need a crane from the street instead of a tile conveyor up the driveway, or we may stage material on the swale and protect your neighbor’s fascia with plywood during the work. That access cost is real and should be in your written quote up front. We measure it into the estimate so there’s no change order on the morning the crew shows up. Call (945) 303-9821 and ask about your specific lot.
Usually not. Most Kendall tile roofs with failed underlayment have perfectly serviceable concrete tile. The repair is a tile-lift-and-relay: we carefully remove and stack the tile, tear off the old felt, install the NOA-compliant two-layer underlayment system Miami-Dade code now requires, and reset the tile. You keep the tile you have, which saves thousands versus full replacement. Some tile will break during removal and we include a replacement allowance in the quote.
You can, but it’s a gamble with the exact months most likely to expose the failure. Kendall’s heaviest rain falls June through September, which is also hurricane season, and an underlayment that’s already failing will leak badly during the first strong afternoon downpour. Waiting turns a roof repair into water damage behind drywall, which costs more than the roof work. We do full underlayment replacements year-round in Kendall, and the written quote we give you in March holds its price. Call (945) 303-9821 to get a number in hand before the storms start.
