AfterCertainTeed Roofing in Pembroke Pines, CA | Mercer Roofing
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Pembroke Pines, from Silver Lakes to Chapel Trail and every master-planned community in between, and we’re proud to be our Roofing Company in Pembroke Pines locals trust. The thing that makes our CertainTeed work different here is simple: we know the tile usually isn’t the problem. On most Pembroke Pines homes built between 1987 and 1998, the CertainTeed barrel tile still has decades of life left, but the original underlayment underneath is done. Call (743) 200-8347 and we’ll tell you which one you actually need replaced.
Why Pembroke Pines Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’ve torn into enough CertainTeed Landmark shingles, Presidio barrel tile, and Flintlastic low-slope membranes on Pembroke Pines CBS homes to know how each system actually ages under Broward County’s HVHZ heat and storm cycle. We diagnose by what the roof is doing, not by what a brochure says it should do. That matters here because a Pembroke Pines roof from 1990 has lived through thirty-plus hurricane seasons, thousands of afternoon thunderstorms, and UV that cooks underlayment until it crumbles like dried leaves.
Grant Whitlock, our owner, learned roofing structure at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending two decades reading roofs across the LA basin. He brought that same read-before-you-touch approach to our CertainTeed work. We’re an independent crew, not manufacturer-affiliated, which means we match your CertainTeed system with manufacturer-or-equivalent components specified for HVHZ. We also send every technician’s name and photo before they arrive, and they badge in with a photo ID at your door. You’ll know exactly who’s walking up your driveway before they knock.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Pembroke Pines
- Failing original underlayment on barrel tile roofs. Homes built in the late 80s through mid 90s in communities like Silver Lakes and Chapel Trail typically got #30 felt under their CertainTeed barrel tile. That felt dries out, cracks, and loses its seal along hips and ridges after 25 to 35 years of South Florida UV and daily storm heat. The tiles on top look completely fine from the street. Water has already found the deck.
- Granule loss and curling on CertainTeed composite shingles. CertainTeed shingles from the 1990s and 2000s fade and shed granules fast under Pembroke Pines sun. You’ll see it first at the hip and rake edges, where HVHZ wind uplift stresses the shingle most. Once curling starts, the shingle loses its wind rating and your insurer notices.
- Cracked or slipped CertainTeed barrel tile after storm events. Irma in 2017 caused widespread underlayment failures across Pembroke Pines. On pre-1994 roofs without a secondary water barrier, one slipped tile means water tracks straight into the attic. We see this constantly on original CertainTeed Presidio and Symphony tile fields.
- Corroded fasteners and failed clips at eave and ridge courses. Older CertainTeed tile systems in Pembroke Pines often have fasteners that don’t meet current HVHZ fastening schedules. That trips wind mitigation non-renewals even when the roof isn’t leaking. The fix is re-fastening, not a new roof.
- Deteriorated Flintlastic and RoofRunner membranes on flat tie-ins. Many Pembroke Pines homes have flat porch or garage tie-ins done in CertainTeed low-slope membrane. Those membranes crack and split under constant UV, and once water gets under the edge, it travels. We replace them with HVHZ-specified membrane and re-flash the transitions.
CertainTeed Service in Pembroke Pines: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Pembroke Pines had its primary residential buildout between roughly 1987 and 1998. That means the master-planned communities that define this city, Silver Lakes, Chapel Trail, Grand Palms, Pembroke Falls, all went up in one concentrated wave. And now every single one of those CertainTeed tile roofs is hitting underlayment failure on nearly the same timeline. This is different from neighboring cities where development spread out over decades. Here, the roofs are failing in batches.
The practical consequence: tile-roof permits, dumpster staging, and HVHZ inspections back up in waves across Pembroke Pines. When fifty homes in Silver Lakes all need underlayment replacement in the same six-month stretch, the city’s permitting queue feels it. We plan for that because we’ve watched it happen since 2000. If you’re one of the Pembroke Pines homeowners whose CertainTeed barrel tile looks fine but whose insurer just sent a non-renewal letter, you’re not alone. You’re part of a construction-era wave, and we know exactly how to move you through it. For homeowners anywhere in our coverage area, here’s our Pembroke Pines service area page.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Pembroke Pines
We work on the full range of CertainTeed systems found on Pembroke Pines homes. That includes Landmark architectural shingles on gable and low-slope sections, Presidio and Symphony concrete barrel tile from the late-80s to mid-90s builds, Grand Manor and Highland Slate luxury shingles on later infill and add-on roofs, and Flintlastic and RoofRunner low-slope membranes on flat porch and garage tie-ins.
Our parts approach is straightforward: manufacturer-or-equivalent tile, shingle, and self-adhered underlayment specified for HVHZ. Not the cheapest generic felt off a big-box shelf. We keep common CertainTeed-compatible components moving through regularly so Pembroke Pines jobs don’t stall waiting on specialty material, part of why homeowners choose our Roof Repair in Pembroke Pines team. If your existing CertainTeed tile is intact and only the underlayment and fastening are shot, we’ll tell you to replace underlayment and re-fasten, not pay for a whole new tile field.
CertainTeed Service Pricing in Pembroke Pines
CertainTeed tile underlayment replacement on a typical Pembroke Pines CBS home generally runs between $8,000 and $16,000 depending on square footage, roof complexity, and whether HVHZ fastening upgrades are required at permit time. Tile repair work, replacing cracked or slipped barrel tile, typically lands between $400 and $1,200 per visit. Full CertainTeed shingle re-roofs on gable sections usually start around $9,000 and go up with pitch and access.
What drives cost here more than anything is whether your roof is pre-1994. If it lacks a secondary water barrier, current code requires one when you re-roof, and that’s a material and labor line item your neighbor in a post-1994 home won’t have. We write every price down before any work starts. You’ll know the number before a single nail goes in. Call (743) 200-8347 for an exact quote, and we’ll walk the roof with you if you want.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Pembroke Pines
You usually can’t tell from the ground. The tiles hide the underlayment. Signs to watch for: water stains on the ceiling after heavy rain, damp attic insulation, granules or felt debris in gutters, or tiles that shift slightly when pressed. If your home was built between 1987 and 1998 and still has the original roof, the underlayment is on borrowed time. Call (743) 200-8347 and we’ll do an attic-and-deck inspection that tells you what’s actually happening under the tile.
Yes. Pembroke Pines falls under Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every re-roofing permit must comply with current HVHZ wind-uplift and fastening requirements regardless of roof age. Reusing your existing CertainTeed tile is common and completely allowed, but the underlayment, fastening, and edge details all get upgraded to current code. We pull permits and build that into your quote from the start.
In most cases, yes. CertainTeed concrete barrel tile from the late 80s and 90s often has decades of service life left. We lift the tile, remove the old underlayment, install new HVHZ-rated self-adhered or mechanically fastened underlayment, upgrade the fastening, and re-lay the same tile. You keep the original look and skip the cost of a full tile replacement. Call (743) 200-8347 and we’ll confirm whether your tile is worth saving before we quote anything.
Florida’s insurance market crisis has driven insurers to non-renew roofs that don’t meet current wind mitigation standards. On pre-1994 Pembroke Pines homes, the two most common triggers are missing secondary water barrier and inadequate hip-and-ridge fastening, both typical of the CertainTeed-era construction in Silver Lakes and Chapel Trail. You’ll get a wind mitigation inspection and, usually, a list of required upgrades. We handle those upgrades regularly and can tell you what’s actually required versus what an inspector flagged conservatively. Call (743) 200-8347 for a straight answer.
We use manufacturer-or-equivalent tile matched to your existing CertainTeed profile and color. If a specific CertainTeed tile is available and cost-reasonable, we use it. If not, we use a compatible barrel tile with the same dimensions and a color match that blends from the ground. We’ll always tell you which option we’re quoting and why. Pricing is written down before work starts, and you’ll approve the material choice in advance.
