We’ve been working with CertainTeed products across South Florida since well before the current coastal redevelopment wave hit Pompano Beach, including CertainTeed Construction in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL. That experience matters here more than in most markets. East of the Intracoastal, the salt-air environment corrodes exposed fasteners and accelerates granule loss on asphalt shingles at a rate that outpaces even Fort Lauderdale, ten miles south. Inland, in neighborhoods like Collier Manor and Pompano Beach Highlands, we’re constantly encountering 1960s-era CBS homes with original roofs that are now being pushed past their design life by rising property values and stricter wind mitigation requirements. CertainTeed’s product lines handle these conditions differently, and knowing which line was installed, how old it is, and what the substrate looks like determines whether you’re looking at a $600 repair or an $18,000 replacement. We’re not authorized by CertainTeed, and we don’t pretend to be. We’re independent contractors who’ve installed and repaired enough of their product to know where the failure points are.
Why Trust Rowan Construction Group Pompano Beach for Your CertainTeed Construction?
Grant Rowan trained in construction technology at Santa Monica College before spending the better part of three decades in the field, and he’s kept a worn copy of the Florida Building Code on his truck’s passenger seat ever since. That habit matters when you’re working in a city where new construction must meet Broward County wind speed requirements, impact-resistant opening mandates, and - in significant swaths of central and western Pompano Beach - FAA Part 77 height restrictions from the Executive Airport that can cap a project mid-design. Our crews have logged years of work throughout the city, including CertainTeed Construction in Lighthouse Point, FL and several complete gut-renovations along the older blocks near Pompano Beach’s historic Old Town district. We know how to sequence jobs so nothing sits idle while subcontractors wait on each other.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and every visit includes a documented photo record as standard - not an upgrade you pay extra for. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, the price is written before anyone starts. Under Clause 3, no change proceeds without a signed change order. That’s the administrative discipline that has kept our projects within a few percent of the agreed cost across 4,000-plus jobs since 2007. For CertainTeed work specifically, we source genuine replacement shingles and accessories from regional distributors to avoid the lead times that can leave a south-facing roof exposed through a summer storm season. When color or profile matches aren’t available from CertainTeed, we use quality aftermarket alternatives that meet the same ASTM standards and document exactly what was used, where, and why.
Measure twice, say it once, show your work. That’s how we operate.
Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Fix in Pompano Beach

- Granule loss on Landmark and Landmark Pro shingles after 10-15 years. The high-UV index in Pompano Beach, combined with salt-air exposure east of the Intracoastal, strips protective granules faster than inland Florida markets. Once the asphalt substrate is exposed, thermal cycling causes brittleness and crack propagation. We see this most often on south and west exposures where afternoon sun is harshest. The repair is targeted shingle replacement with matching Landmark Pro stock, but if granule loss exceeds 30% of the field, we recommend full replacement - patching accelerates future failures around the repair perimeter.
- Wind uplift at the eaves causing tab separation on Presidential Shake. Presidential Shake’s laminated construction performs well in rated wind zones, but the heavier shingle profile creates higher moment arm stress at the eaves during gust events. In Pompano Beach, where pre-Andrew-era homes often lack modern roof-to-wall connections, this stress concentrates at the fastening line. We’ve repaired homes in the Highlands where the original 6-nail pattern was insufficient for the shingle weight in a Category 1 gust zone. The fix is removal of the affected course, deck inspection for fastener pull-through, and reinstallation with enhanced fastening patterns per CertainTeed’s published standards.
- Cracking and fastener pull-through on CertaSlate tiles installed over uneven decking. CertaSlate’s synthetic slate profile requires a flat, solid substrate - typically minimum 7/16″ OSB or plywood. On older Pompano Beach homes with plank decking or sagging rafters, the rigid tile profile doesn’t flex. Foot traffic during installation or thermal expansion cycles cause point-loading at high spots, leading to characteristic star-pattern cracking. We remove the affected tiles, sister or overlay the decking as needed, and reinstall with proper fastening torque. The daVinci-profile variant is particularly unforgiving of substrate irregularity.
- Premature sealant failure and nail-head rust on Solstice solar shingles. Solstice integrates photovoltaic cells into a shingle-format module, but the electrical connections and sealant boots are vulnerable to Pompano Beach’s coastal humidity. We’ve found sealant degradation at the junction box interface within 7-8 years on east-facing installations, and stainless fastener corrosion where the factory coating was compromised during handling. Repair requires electrical lockout, module replacement with matching Solstice units, and resealing with manufacturer-specified compounds. This is not a homeowner-accessible repair - the DC voltage present even in low light is a genuine hazard.
- Ridge cap blow-off across all lines due to inadequate ventilation. Pompano Beach’s combination of high ambient temperatures and intense solar gain creates extreme attic temperatures. When ventilation is insufficient - common in 1960s-1970s CBS homes with minimal soffit intake - hot air accelerates ridge adhesive degradation and causes pressure cycling that lifts cap shingles. We inspect the entire ventilation system, not just the missing caps, because replacing ridge shingles without addressing airflow is a temporary fix at best.

AfterCertainTeed Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We use genuine CertainTeed replacement shingles and accessories whenever color and profile matches are available from regional distributors. For Landmark in common colors like Georgetown Gray, Moire Black, or Resawn Shake, we typically have stock or can source within 48 hours. Presidential Shake and CertaSlate profiles require longer lead times - sometimes 2-3 weeks - and we’ll tell you that upfront, not after we’ve started.
Our repair-vs-replace decision is straightforward. If the roof is past 75% of its service life or shows widespread granule loss, thermal cracking, or multiple prior repair areas, we recommend full replacement. Patching an aging roof accelerates future failures because the new shingles don’t age at the same rate as the existing field, creating stress points at every repair perimeter. When we do recommend repair, it’s because the damage is isolated, the substrate is sound, and the remaining field has sufficient service life to justify the investment. Every recommendation comes with a written scope, a flat price, and the documented photo record that shows you exactly what we found.

Our CertainTeed Service Process - Step by Step

- 1
Diagnosis with photo documentation. We inspect the full roof system, not just the visible damage. For CertainTeed products, we identify the specific line, color code, and installation vintage, then photograph the substrate condition, fastener pattern, and any secondary damage. You receive this record before we quote.
- 2
Written quote with line-item scope. Under The Haven Standard, Clause 1, the price is written before any work starts. The quote specifies CertainTeed OEM or compatible aftermarket parts, labor, disposal, and any decking or ventilation corrections needed. No surprises.
- 3
Repair or installation to CertainTeed published standards. Our crews follow the manufacturer’s published installation guidelines for fastening patterns, exposure, and accessory integration. For Solstice systems, we coordinate with a licensed electrician for final connection and inspection.
- 4
Testing and verification. We water-test repaired areas with a calibrated spray pattern to verify seal integrity. For full replacements, we schedule the municipal inspection and verify permit closure.
- 5
Warranty documentation and photo record delivery. You receive a written workmanship warranty, the final photo record, and documentation of all materials used, including lot numbers for CertainTeed products. This protects your manufacturer’s warranty and our 365-Day Done Right Promise.

FAQs - CertainTeed Construction Service in Pompano Beach
Is Rowan Construction Group Pompano Beach authorized by CertainTeed?
No. We are an independent CertainTeed service provider with over a decade of hands-on installation and repair experience across South Florida. Our crews are trained to CertainTeed’s published installation standards, but we are not authorized, sponsored, or endorsed by the manufacturer. We source genuine CertainTeed parts through regional distributors and document everything we use.
Can you match my existing CertainTeed Landmark shingles if only a few are damaged?
Yes, in most cases. We source genuine CertainTeed replacement shingles for common Landmark colors like Georgetown Gray, Moire Black, and Resawn Shake from regional distributors. Color matching becomes difficult with discontinued lines or heavily faded fields - asphalt shingles shift color unevenly under UV exposure, and a new shingle next to a 12-year-old field can be obvious. When we can’t achieve an acceptable match, we’ll show you the sample in place and discuss whether a larger replacement section makes sense. Call (754) 714-6540 and we’ll check availability for your specific color code.
How do CertainTeed Presidential Shake shingles hold up to Pompano Beach hurricanes?
Presidential Shake carries a 110 mph wind warranty when installed to CertainTeed’s 6-nail pattern on code-compliant decking. In practice, performance depends heavily on the substrate - we’ve seen Presidential Shake survive Category 1 events intact on homes with solid decking and proper roof-to-wall connections, and fail at the eaves on older homes with plank decking and inadequate fastening. The shingle is rated for the wind zone; the installation and the structure beneath it determine whether it performs to that rating. We inspect both before we quote.
My CertaSlate roof has cracked tiles - can you repair just the damaged ones?
Yes, if the substrate beneath is flat and sound. CertaSlate’s synthetic slate profile is rigid and unforgiving of deck irregularity - the characteristic star-pattern cracking we see in Pompano Beach usually indicates a high spot or flex point below. We remove the cracked tiles, repair or overlay the decking as needed, and reinstall with proper fastening torque. If the cracking is widespread, the underlying structure is likely the problem, not the tiles, and we’ll tell you that before we quote a repair that won’t last. Call (754) 714-6540 for an inspection.
What’s the typical lifespan of CertainTeed Landmark shingles in coastal Florida?
In Pompano Beach’s specific climate - high UV, salt air east of the Intracoastal, and thermal cycling from extreme attic temperatures - we see functional service life of 15-20 years for Landmark and Landmark Pro, toward the lower end on south and west exposures and homes with poor ventilation. Granule loss is usually the limiting factor; once the asphalt substrate is exposed, brittleness accelerates. This is shorter than the 30-year warranty period because the warranty covers manufacturing defects, not environmental degradation. We give you the realistic number, not the marketing one.
Do you install synthetic underlayment with CertainTeed roofs for better storm protection?
Yes. We specify self-adhering peel-and-stick underlayment at the eaves, valleys, and ridges on every CertainTeed roof we install or repair in Pompano Beach. The field gets a synthetic underlayment rated for the exposure period and wind uplift. This is particularly important on homes with pre-Andrew-era roof decks where the original underlayment was asphalt felt that degrades quickly if shingles are lost in a storm. The upgraded underlayment is included in our written scope, not sold as an add-on.
