Why Tilehurst Roofing Miami Is Kendale Lakes’s Preferred Roofing Company
Kendale Lakes homeowners call us after a bad experience elsewhere. A no-show crew. A price that doubled at the door. A patch job that leaked three months later. We built Tilehurst Roofing inside the Kingswell family of companies, founded in 2000, specifically for those homeowners. Greg Holloway leads our operation here, and he holds every job to 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.
Our Roofing Company team knows what Kendale Lakes inspections actually demand. We’ve passed Miami-Dade HVHZ re-nailing checks on first visit more times than we can count, because we set fastener patterns as if the county inspector is standing behind us with a ruler. That’s not a metaphor. In Kendale Lakes, a nail pattern is a legal document, and we treat it that way.
Every repair carries a written guarantee, delivered before the crew leaves your property. If a repair fails inside the guarantee period, we return at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. That’s a full year of documented accountability. No fine print, no phone tag, no argument. Just a company that stands behind what we nailed down.

Free Roof Estimate in Kendale Lakes
A Free Roof Estimate in Kendale Lakes means we inspect your roof in person, measure it, check the decking and flashing, and hand you a written line-item price. No verbal ballpark that evaporates later. No “we’ll email you something.” You get numbers on paper before you make any decision. For most Kendale Lakes homes built in the 1970s and 1980s, that inspection takes about an hour, and we encourage you to walk the roof with us if you’re comfortable doing so.
What the Estimate Covers
We inspect every roof plane, all flashings, the drip edge, ridge cap, and any flat or low-slope sections over carports or additions. We look at the decking from the attic side where possible, because Kendale Lakes homes with original concrete tile often hide rotted sheathing that a curb-level glance misses. Our written estimate includes materials from the manufacturer you choose, the fastener schedule we’ll follow, the secondary water barrier we’ll install, and the labor to pass inspection the first time.
When to Schedule One
If your roof is past twenty years old, schedule an estimate before the summer storm season. Kendale Lakes gets intense UV radiation and heavy afternoon thunderstorms that turn small leaks into interior damage fast. If you’ve noticed ceiling stains, granule loss in your gutters, or cracked tile near the ridge line, don’t wait. A Free Roof Estimate costs you nothing and tells you exactly where you stand, whether you need a repair or a full replacement.
Roofing Contractor in Kendale Lakes
A Roofing Contractor in Kendale Lakes has to handle something most Florida contractors never face: Miami-Dade HVHZ code with its enhanced fastening schedule and secondary water barrier requirements. We’re that contractor. Our crews work on Kendale Lakes homes every week, and we know what the county inspector checks: nail spacing, underlayment laps, drip edge fastening, and the condition of the decking underneath it all. If any of that is wrong, the roof fails inspection even when it looks flawless from the curb.
HVHZ Code and Your Roof
The High Velocity Hurricane Zone code in Miami-Dade County requires peel-and-stick underlayment on the entire roof deck, not just the eaves. It requires a specific nail pattern, typically a 6-nail schedule per shingle, instead of the standard 4-nail pattern used elsewhere. It requires secondary water barriers that keep water out even if the top layer of roofing gets torn off in a hurricane. A roofer who skips these to save money leaves you with a roof that might pass a visual check but fails the county inspection, and that means you pay twice.
How We Handle Rotted Decking
When we strip an old Kendale Lakes roof and find rotted sheathing, we stop and price the replacement in writing before we cut anything. You approve the number, we do the work, and the final invoice matches the approval. No surprised homeowner standing in their driveway arguing with a crew over a change order. On a 1979 single-family home near the Kendale Lakes Golf Course, our crew stripped original concrete tile and found decking compromised by years of wind-driven rain around unsealed penetrations. We replaced the rotted sheathing, laid full peel-and-stick underlayment, and set a 6-nail pattern on each architectural shingle to meet HVHZ uplift requirements, then passed the county inspection on the first visit. That’s how the job gets done right.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendale Lakes
We carry and service materials from seven manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That matters in Kendale Lakes because the right product for your roof isn’t whatever happens to be stacked in a warehouse. A 1980s ranch near SW 97th Avenue with a low-pitched concrete tile roof needs something different than a 1970s split-level off Kendall Drive with asphalt shingles over a carport. We keep IKO, Atlas, and Boral product lines in regular rotation for this area because they hold up under our UV load and meet HVHZ uplift standards. You pick the manufacturer, we deliver the materials to your driveway and get to work.

AfterCommon Roofing Company Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes
- Failed HVHZ nail patterns. Some older roofs were installed before the enhanced fastening schedule took effect, or by crews who used a standard 4-nail pattern. The shingles look fine, but the roof can fail an inspection solely for improper fastener spacing. We re-nail to spec when we replace, and we document every fastener line.
- Rotted decking under old concrete tile. Concrete tile is heavy and durable, but unsealed penetrations let wind-driven rain soak the sheathing underneath. By the time we strip the tile, the wood is spongy and won’t hold fasteners under uplift. We replace it before one new shingle goes down.
- Leaking low-slope carport and addition roofs. Many Kendale Lakes homes have flat or low-slope sections that pond water in heavy summer downpours. These sections need peel-and-stick underlayment and sometimes a modified bitumen or PVC membrane, not the same shingle system as the main pitched roof.
- Missing or failed secondary water barrier. Older roofs often have felt paper underlayment instead of the self-adhering membrane HVHZ code now requires. That’s a critical gap. Without a secondary barrier, a torn shingle in a hurricane lets water straight into your attic. We install the barrier on every replacement, no exceptions.
Pricing for Roofing Company in Kendale Lakes, FL
Repair work in Kendale Lakes generally runs $380 – $780. That covers shingle or tile replacement, flashing reseal, or a small decking patch. Full roof replacements on 1970s and 1980s homes run $14,000 – $32,000 depending on square footage, material choice, the amount of decking that needs replacement, and how many roof planes and valleys your home has. Concrete tile and Boral products sit at the higher end. Asphalt architectural shingles from IKO, Atlas, or Tamko land in the middle. Flat or low-slope sections add cost because they require membrane systems, not shingles. Every estimate is written, line-itemed, and fixed before we start. If we discover rotted decking during tear-off, we price the replacement in writing and get your approval before cutting anything.

FAQs About Roofing Company in Kendale Lakes
Because Kendale Lakes sits inside the Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone, one of the strictest wind-uplift code regions in the country. The code requires a self-adhering membrane, typically peel-and-stick underlayment, across the entire roof deck so that if hurricane winds tear off the top layer of shingles or tile, the secondary barrier still keeps wind-driven rain out of your attic. Other Florida counties outside the HVHZ don’t mandate this full-deck membrane. If a roofer quotes you a replacement without mentioning a secondary water barrier, that quote won’t pass inspection here. Call (850) 613-1762 if you want your current roof checked against the HVHZ standard.
Look for cracked, sliding, or missing tiles, granule dust in your gutters, ceiling stains after heavy rain, and any spot where the tile underlayment shows through. More important is what you can’t see from the ground: the condition of the decking and the fastening pattern. Concrete tile roofs from the 1980s often have rotted sheathing around unsealed penetrations, and the fasteners may not meet current HVHZ spacing. A full inspection tells you whether the frame can keep holding weight and wind. Repair is possible when damage is localized. When decking is compromised or tile is failing across multiple roof planes, full replacement is the honest answer. We’ll show you photos from the roof and explain exactly what we found.
The HVHZ nailing pattern is the fastener schedule Miami-Dade County requires for shingles installed inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Most of the country uses four nails per shingle. In Kendale Lakes, the code typically requires a 6-nail pattern with specific placement and spacing, plus ring-shank nails that hold under uplift pressure. Inspectors check this with a gauge, not by looking. If the spacing is off even slightly, the roof fails inspection. That’s why local roofers say a nail pattern is a legal document around here. We set one pattern, document it, and pass inspection on the first visit.
Yes. Flat and low-slope sections, common over carports and additions on 1970s and 1980s Kendale Lakes homes, can’t shed water the way a pitched roof does. They need a membrane system such as modified bitumen, TPO, or PVC, plus a full peel-and-stick underlayment beneath it. Shingles on a low-slope section void the manufacturer’s warranty and leak at the first heavy summer downpour. We price flat sections separately on every estimate because the material and labor are genuinely different from the main roof. You should see that line item on the written quote before any work starts.
We inspect from the attic side where possible and probe the decking during the on-site estimate. If we suspect rotted sheathing under the existing tile or shingles, our written estimate includes an allowance for decking replacement, stated as a per-sheet price. That means you see the worst-case number before we start. If we strip the old roof and the decking is actually worse than expected, we stop and show you photos. We give you a written price for the additional sheathing, and we don’t cut anything until you approve it. No surprises, no change orders, no price at the door. Call (850) 613-1762 to schedule your estimate.
