This page is for homeowners whose CertainTeed roof has started leaking, lost shingles in a storm, or begun showing wear around vents, valleys, and flashing. If you’re looking at a dark spot on the ceiling or shingle granules in the gutter, call (754) 354-8628 and we’ll walk you through what we’re likely to find before we even schedule the visit.

How CertainTeed Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

CertainTeed makes solid roofing products. We install and repair them constantly. But like any asphalt shingle system, certain lines have predictable weak points, especially in South Florida heat, humidity, and storm cycles. Here’s what we see on Fort Lauderdale roofs and how we address it:

• Landmark series granule loss after severe weather. Landmark and Landmark Pro are the most common CertainTeed architectural shingles we see in Fort Lauderdale. After a strong storm or a few seasons of intense UV, the granular layer can wear thin, exposing the asphalt beneath. You’ll notice granules collecting in gutters or downspouts. When the damage is isolated to a few shingles, we replace them individually with color-matched stock. When granule loss is widespread, we’ll tell you honestly if it’s time to talk about a full replacement rather than chasing patches.
• Presidential Shake seal failure at the keyways. CertainTeed’s higher-profile Presidential Shake line looks great, but those thick, laminated tabs rely on a heat-activated seal strip. Over time in Fort Lauderdale’s temperature swings, that seal can break down, leaving tabs loose enough to lift in wind. We re-seal tabs with a manufacturer-acceptable adhesive or replace individual shingles if the tab itself has cracked. It’s a straightforward fix, but you need a tech who knows these shingles don’t lay like standard three-tabs.
• Vent boot gaskets cracking on every brand, CertainTeed included. This one isn’t a CertainTeed defect, it’s a South Florida reality. The rubber gasket around plumbing vent pipes bakes in the sun and cracks within 8 to 12 years. We replace the boot with a quality aftermarket unit that fits the same pipe diameter. It’s a $75 to $150 part and about 30 minutes of labor. Ignored, it lets water run straight down the pipe chase and into your ceiling.
• Valley metal corrosion where uncoated steel was used. CertainTeed shingles installed over cheap, uncoated valley metal will outlast the metal underneath them. We see this on Fort Lauderdale homes where the original installer cut corners on flashing. The fix is removing the valley shingles, replacing the metal with a properly coated or aluminum option, and re-laying the shingles with correct overlap. It’s more involved than a simple shingle swap, but doing it right prevents repeat leaks through the same valley.
• Improper starter strip installation from the original build. This is not a CertainTeed manufacturing issue, but it’s one of the most common causes of first-row shingle failure we find. If the starter strip wasn’t laid with the right overhang or was skipped entirely, the bottom row of shingles loses its anchor and can blow off in a storm. We replace the damaged field shingles and correct the starter course so the roof’s edge holds. This matters for warranty claims too, which we’ll touch on below.

Our CertainTeed Roof Repair Process

Here’s how a CertainTeed repair with Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale actually goes, from the first call to the final photo:

1. 1
   You call or text the details. A live person answers at (754) 354-8628, day or night. We ask what you’re seeing, where the leak shows up inside, and the age of the roof if you know it.
2. 2
   We inspect and diagnose. The tech arrives in a uniform, you know their name before they arrive. We inspect the roof surface, attic, and affected interior areas. We look at what’s actually failing, not just what’s convenient to fix.
3. 3
   You get a written price before any work starts. We tell you what we found, what we recommend, and what it costs. The number on that written estimate is the number on your invoice. No change orders, no “we found more once we got up there” surprises.
4. 4
   We make the right repair decision for a CertainTeed roof. When manufacturer stock is available and color-matched, we use it. When an OEM part isn’t available or would delay the job, we use quality aftermarket components that meet or exceed the spec and tell you exactly what we’re installing and why.
5. 5
   We repair, test, document. After the fix, we water-test where possible, take before and after photos, and send you a digital invoice by text. You see what was done without climbing a ladder.
6. 6
   You’re covered for a full year. Every repair we do includes our 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing. If that repair fails within 365 days, we return and fix it at no charge. No negotiation, no runaround.
