Why Fort Lauderdale Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes a solid shingle. But Fort Lauderdale tests every roofing material harder than most places in the country. Our crews have re-roofed and repaired hundreds of CertainTeed systems across Fort Lauderdale’s coastal and inland neighborhoods, so we know exactly how Landmark, Presidential, and NorthGate lines perform under hurricane gusts and relentless humidity. We fix them without any manufacturer ties, which means our recommendations are based on what your roof actually needs, not what a corporate program tells us to sell.
Greg Holloway grew up in Los Angeles and learned roofing through the construction trades program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending the better part of three decades working roofs from the ground up. He and his crew have been serving Fort Lauderdale for years. You’ll find their work on homes along the Las Olas Isles, where flat roofs and tile both need to handle serious salt air and summer rain. Greg walks every roof himself and gives homeowners a straight number before a single nail is pulled.
Every Tilehurst Roofing Fort Lauderdale job includes a written quote in your hands before work begins, a written guarantee on every repair, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right for a full year after the job. A live person answers our phones 24/7, which matters when a summer squall just tore shingles off your roof at 9 p.m. We also carry materials from seven manufacturers, including CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, so the product fits the home, not just what happens to be in the truck.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Fort Lauderdale
CertainTeed shingles and tiles fail in predictable ways here. Here are the five issues we see most often across Fort Lauderdale homes.
- Wind-lifted shingles on Landmark roofs. On 1950s through 1970s ranch homes, original fastening often missed the nail line entirely. A summer thunderstorm or hurricane warning rolls through, and shingles peel back at the eaves. We reset and refasten, but if the deck underneath is original, we’ll tell you whether a full refasten is required to meet current code.
- Granule loss and algae streaking on NorthGate shingles. Fort Lauderdale’s persistent humidity and shaded overhangs create the perfect environment for algae growth. NorthGate shingles, especially on north-facing roof planes, can look black and streaky within two years. The granules themselves start shedding faster in this climate. We clean where possible and replace shingles that have lost their protective granular layer.
- Corroded flashing and nail heads on Presidential Shake systems. Salt air from the coastal condo corridor eats metal flashing fast. We see valley flashings rusted through and nail heads bleeding rust streaks down the shakes. When the flashing goes, water gets under the shingles and into the deck. We replace flashing with corrosion-resistant materials and refasten the surrounding area.
- Cracked or delaminated underlayment beneath Grand Manor tiles. Years of tropical storms, UV exposure, and humidity break down the underlayment that actually keeps water out from under those heavy tiles. The tiles might look fine from the street, but the waterproofing layer beneath is shot. We repair or replace tile underlayment so the system actually sheds water.
- Vent boot failures after heavy rain. Fort Lauderdale’s torrential downpours overwhelm older drainage, and failed vent boots let water pour straight into attics. We replace cracked rubber boots with weather-rated materials and check the surrounding decking for rot in the same visit.
CertainTeed Service in Fort Lauderdale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the piece most generic service pages skip. In Fort Lauderdale’s Coral Ridge and Rio Vista neighborhoods, many original 1960s barrel-tile homes were built before hurricane clips existed as a code requirement. When a homeowner calls us to replace an aging tile roof with CertainTeed Landmark shingles, a simple re-roof often turns into a full deck refasten job. The original plywood deck is nailed 12 inches on center with smooth shank nails, no clips, no ring shanks. Current Florida Building Code and Miami-Dade standards require much tighter fastening patterns. So the shingle replacement becomes a structural upgrade, not just a cosmetic one. This is not an issue in neighboring inland cities like Plantation or Davie, where construction timelines and code enforcement followed different paths. Fort Lauderdale homeowners should budget for deck refastening when the home predates the modern wind-mitigation requirements.
In Rio Vista, our tech found a 1964 ranch with CertainTeed Landmark shingles tearing at the eaves after a summer squall. We pulled back the shingles and found the original plywood deck nailed only 12 inches on center with no clips and no ring shanks. We refastened the entire deck to code, replaced the underlayment, and installed new Landmark with six nails per shingle. That roof has since sailed through two hurricane warnings without losing a single shingle.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Fort Lauderdale
Yes, if the deck underneath is sound and the fastening meets current wind-load standards. On older Fort Lauderdale ranch homes, though, we often find the original deck nailed too loosely to pass inspection once we open the roof. We’ll tell you before we start whether a few shingles will do it or whether the deck needs refastening. Call (754) 732-9325 for a free roof walk and a straight answer.
Presidential Shake is a heavier, thicker shingle that performs well in wind when installed to CertainTeed’s high-wind nailing pattern with the correct number of nails. The weak point around Fort Lauderdale is rarely the shingle itself; it’s the flashing and the deck fastening underneath. If the flashing corrodes in salt air or the deck isn’t fastened to current code, the system fails regardless of shingle quality. We install and repair both correctly.
That’s algae growth, and it’s rampant in Fort Lauderdale’s humidity, especially on shaded roof planes. NorthGate shingles don’t have the same copper-infused granule protection as some premium CertainTeed lines, so they streak faster in our climate. We can clean the algae and treat the roof, and if granule loss has compromised the shingles themselves, we’ll recommend targeted replacement.
Sometimes we can source remaining stock, and we’ll check with our suppliers for the exact color before we promise anything. When we can’t find a true match, we’ll show you the closest available profile and color in person, and we’ll only proceed once you’ve approved the look. No surprises. Call (754) 732-9325 and we’ll start the search for your tile color.
No. Rusted valley flashing is a localized repair. We remove the affected shingles, replace the valley metal with corrosion-resistant material, and reinstall with matching CertainTeed or equivalent shingles. The only time a rusted valley turns into a full roof replacement is when water has been getting underneath for long enough to rot the deck in multiple areas. We’ll open it up and show you exactly what’s there.
