We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Fort Lauderdale, handling everything from storm-damaged shingle replacement to full re-roofs with impact-rated systems.

Call (754) 354-8628 for a free estimate on any CertainTeed repair or replacement.
Why Fort Lauderdale Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed shingles hold up well in Florida, but they fail in specific ways here. Granule loss along eaves after a storm, sealant strips baked dry by UV, ridge caps cracking on low-slope additions. We see all of it. Dylan Pace, who leads our crew, picked up his roofing fundamentals at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending nearly two decades on real jobs, and he’s been serving Fort Lauderdale for years now, from Roof Replacement - Fort Lauderdale near Las Olas Boulevard to storm repairs across the Broward corridor. He’s the first one to tell you what a job actually involves and what it’ll cost, in writing, before a single nail goes in.
We source genuine CertainTeed shingles and accessories for color-matching and warranty-consistent repairs. When a shingle line is discontinued, we use quality aftermarket underlayments and fasteners that meet Miami-Dade County product approval, so your roof still passes inspection. And because we’re an independent provider, we give you straight advice on repair versus replace, not what a manufacturer rep wants you to buy. Every repair comes with our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it fails within a year, we correct it at no charge. That’s in writing, included with every job. If it’s not in writing, it’s not a promise.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Fort Lauderdale
- Granule loss in concentrated patches near eaves and rakes. After hurricane-force wind uplift, Colonial slate or shake-profile CertainTeed shingles often shed granules in specific zones where wind got under the shingle edge. Insurance adjusters miss this all the time. Homeowners in Coral Ridge and Victoria Park learned to check for these “lost granule” patches after Hurricane Wilma, and we still find them on roofs that look fine from the street.
- Sealant strips dried out from intense UV. Fort Lauderdale’s subtropical sun bakes shingle sealant until it loses its grip. Shingle lift and water intrusion follow. Older CertainTeed roofs here regularly show this failure on south- and west-facing slopes that get the most afternoon sun.
- Cracked or slipped ridge caps and hip shingles. Thermal expansion hits low-slope additions hard, especially on 1950s-1970s concrete block homes that got add-ons over the years. Ridge caps crack, hips slip, and water finds its way in.
- Premature granule loss on shaded north-facing slopes with algae growth. Humidity plus shade equals algae, and algae holds moisture against the shingle surface. Granules loosen, and certain Fort Lauderdale HOAs will send letters about the streaking. We’ve re-shingled more than a few roofs under homeowner association pressure.
- Sheathing nail failures under wind load. The city’s 2005 post-Hurricane Wilma building code amendment requires re-nailing roof sheathing with 8d ring-shank nails at 6-inch spacing on all re-roofs. Many older CertainTeed roofs still have the original sparse 4d smooth nails, which back out and let shingles flap. This is a Fort Lauderdale-specific failure mode we deal with constantly.
CertainTeed Service in Fort Lauderdale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the detail that separates a Fort Lauderdale CertainTeed job from the same job in Davie or Lauderhill. After Hurricane Wilma, the city amended its building code to require re-nailing of roof sheathing with 8d ring-shank nails at 6-inch spacing on every re-roof. Most other Broward cities adopted similar provisions eventually, but Fort Lauderdale’s enforcement is aggressive, and the original sheathing on homes built between 1950 and 1980 was typically secured with 4d smooth nails spaced far wider than today’s wind-load standards. So when we strip an old CertainTeed roof in Coral Ridge or Victoria Park, we almost always expose the deck and re-fasten it before new shingles go down. A homeowner with a 20-year-old CertainTeed roof that’s losing granules may think they just need shingle replacement, but if the decking underneath fails a wind mitigation inspection, the shingles are the least of their problems. CertainTeed shingles perform well once they’re properly fastened over a properly fastened deck. The deck is where Fort Lauderdale roofs live or die.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We work on the full CertainTeed product line. Landmark series architectural shingles are the workhorse of Fort Lauderdale residential roofs, and we keep common Landmark colors available locally for fast color-matched patch jobs. Presidential Shake and Highland Slate show up on higher-end homes, and the shake-profile lines are the ones we see with post-storm granule loss near eaves. Northgate ClimateFlex is the impact-resistant line, and we install plenty of it on retrofits where homeowners want a wind mitigation credit from their insurance carrier. We pair every CertainTeed roof with the right underlayment, starter shingles, and ridge vents for South Florida code compliance.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Fort Lauderdale
Most standard CertainTeed repairs in Fort Lauderdale, like replacing a handful of storm-damaged shingles or resealing lifted tabs, run $350 to $800 depending on roof access and shingle match. A full shingle replacement on an average 1,800-square-foot Fort Lauderdale home typically lands between $9,000 and $14,000, and a complete re-roof with deck re-nailing and secondary water barrier can reach $16,000 to $22,000 depending on the CertainTeed line you choose and how much sheathing needs to be re-fastened. Three things drive the cost: the shingle profile, how much deck work the wind mitigation inspection forces, and whether you need a discontinued color matched or can switch to a current stock line.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Fort Lauderdale
Yes, in most cases we can match Landmark shingles if the color is still in production. We source genuine CertainTeed shingles directly from local supply houses that stock the common South Florida colors, like Weathered Wood and Driftwood. If your color has been discontinued, we’ll show you the closest current match and give you a written price before we order anything. Call (754) 354-8628 and we’ll verify your color match during a free inspection.
Fort Lauderdale’s wind mitigation inspections focus on four things: roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, roof covering, and secondary water resistance. CertainTeed shingles themselves will typically satisfy the roof covering requirement, but the underlayment and deck attachment are where older roofs fail. We install secondary water barriers that meet Miami-Dade County product approval, and we re-nail decking to the city’s 6-inch spacing requirement before laying new underlayment. The shingle is only as good as what’s under it.
At 20 years old with widespread granule loss, we recommend full replacement, not patching. CertainTeed shingles carry a lifetime limited warranty, but the practical service life in Fort Lauderdale’s UV and humidity is 15 to 22 years. Once sealant strips are baked and granules are shed across multiple slopes, you’re pouring money into a roof that will keep failing. And if you’re planning a wind mitigation inspection for an insurance discount, a new roof with re-nailed decking and a secondary water barrier gives you the best outcome. Call (754) 354-8628 for a free inspection and a straight answer on repair versus replace.
No. Presidential Shake, like most architectural shingle profiles, requires a minimum slope to shed water properly. Fort Lauderdale’s many flat and low-slope roofs, especially on 1950s-1970s concrete block homes, need a different system, like modified bitumen, TPO, or tile with proper underlayment. If you want the Presidential Shake look on a home with a flat section, we can use it on the sloped portions and match a flat-roof system for the low-slope area. We’ll show you the options during the estimate.
Look for concentrated granule loss in specific zones, usually near eaves, rakes, or ridges, rather than uniform aging across the whole roof. That pattern is a signature of wind uplift, not old age, and it’s what insurance adjusters need to see documented. After Hurricane Wilma, homeowners in Coral Ridge and Victoria Park learned to check for these patches because adjusters often overlook them. We can document the damage patterns with photos and write up what we find so you have solid evidence for your claim. Call (754) 354-8628 and we’ll take a look before you file.
