AfterCertainTeed Construction in Boca Raton, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
If you need CertainTeed roofing or siding work in Pompano Beach or Boca Raton, Barrett & Sons Construction provides independent service across 33486, 33487, 33488, and 33496. We’re not a manufacturer crew, but we’ve installed and repaired CertainTeed Landmark shingles, Cedar Impressions siding, and RoofRunner underlayment on hundreds of coastal and inland Boca Raton homes. The difference here is simple: we plan every job around the Architectural Review Board’s barrel-tile mandates, the 150+ mph wind code, and the salt air eating concrete along A1A. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Why Boca Raton Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Tom Barrett has been on roofs and jobsites across South Florida since 1998, and his name, address, and license number are published where anyone can look them up before signing anything. He grew up in the San Fernando Valley watching crews pour foundations with his dad on weekends, then learned the trade framing and finishing at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. That’s the kind of background that matters when a Boca Raton condo board hands you a structural inspection report and expects straight answers about embedded rebar and spalling balconies. We know CertainTeed product lines the way a mechanic knows a specific engine: what fails first, what holds up under salt air, and when a repair is worth doing versus when it’s throwing good money after bad. We’re independent, which means we recommend what the roof actually needs, not what a corporate sales target dictates. And since a live person answers our phone 24/7, you won’t get a voicemail box when you call about a lifted shingle after a storm.
Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Boca Raton
- Blisters and granule loss on older Landmark shingles: Years of intense UV exposure and wind-driven rain along A1A strip granules faster than anywhere inland in Palm Beach County. Once you see bare fiberglass matting, that’s not cosmetic. We caught exactly that in Woodfield, where the original Landmark shingles had lost so many granules the homeowner could see patches from the street.
- Cracked or curling shingles on 1970s-80s homes with poor attic ventilation: Florida humidity needs to move. When original soffit vents were undersized, heat and moisture cook CertainTeed shingles from below. Boca Pointe and Broken Sound homes from that era show this constantly. Curling at the edges is almost always a ventilation problem, not a shingle defect.
- Wind-lifted tabs after hurricanes on east-side roofs: CertainTeed shingles fail most often where drip edge or starter strips were skipped. We see this on older condos and single-family homes east of Federal Highway where roofers cut corners decades ago. One good blow and the tabs peel back like pages in a book.
- Cedar Impressions siding warping or seam separation: Western Boca Raton communities like Boca Pointe deal with sprinkler overspray hitting siding daily, then humidity cycling through the afternoon. CertainTeed’s polymer siding handles it better than most, but repeated moisture cycling eventually opens seams. We replace with OEM panels that match the original color.
- Improper underlayment failures on flat or low-slope sections: Many Boca Raton condos and additions have flat roof sections where cheap felt underlayment rotted out years ago. We strip it and install CertainTeed RoofRunner synthetic underlayment, which handles ponding water and South Florida heat without delaminating.
CertainTeed Service in Boca Raton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here’s what nobody tells you about Boca Raton until you’re standing at the permit counter. The Architectural Review Board enforces one of the strictest design-compliance processes in Florida. All exterior construction and substantial renovations must conform to the city’s Mediterranean Revival aesthetic rooted in Addison Mizner’s 1920s master plan. That means barrel-tile roofing, smooth stucco, and arched openings are mandated in many east-side single-family zones. But those same homes often sit on 1970s roof decks built for lightweight shingles, not modern concrete tile. Forcing concrete tile onto trusses rated for asphalt means reinforcing the structure before a single tile goes down, which can double the cost of an already expensive roof. So what do we do? We often specify CertainTeed’s Landmark TL or Presidential Shake asphalt shingles as a lighter alternative that satisfies structural limits while still reading visually appropriate. Then we submit the ARB package with a material specification sheet and structural note explaining the roof deck limitation. Boards accept it because the documentation is complete. Contractors from Delray Beach or Boynton Beach who don’t do ARB work weekly treat the review cycle as a surprise delay and a change-order opportunity. We treat it as part of the job and price it in writing from day one.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Boca Raton
We work with the full CertainTeed roofing and siding lineup. That includes Landmark series asphalt shingles, Landmark Pro for higher wind uplift ratings, Landmark TL with its heavier shadow line, Cedar Impressions siding panels, FlintBoard insulation sheathing, and RoofRunner synthetic underlayment. When we repair, we specify OEM CertainTeed shingles, ridge caps, starter strips, and underlayment to preserve warranty eligibility and color-match existing roofs. For flashing, fasteners, and ventilation, we use proven aftermarket components that meet or exceed Miami-Dade County product approvals. We keep common CertainTeed colors and accessory components stocked locally so Boca Raton repairs don’t wait on a distributor truck from West Palm. If a roof has multiple failed courses or more than 25% granule loss across the field, we recommend full replacement with a current CertainTeed system. Piecemeal patching on a tired roof just moves the leak around.

FAQs - CertainTeed Construction in Boca Raton
Yes, in many cases you can, but only if the ARB approves it and your roof deck can’t support concrete tile weight anyway. Boca Raton Bathroom Remodeling projects face similar ARB scrutiny for exterior alterations. We’ve won ARB approvals for CertainTeed Landmark TL shingles on east-side homes where the 1970s trusses simply weren’t engineered for tile. You’ll save on material and reinforcement costs, and the review package we prepare will include structural documentation so the board sees the rationale. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you if your street qualifies.
CertainTeed’s wind warranties are conditional on correct installation, which means starter strips, drip edge, nail pattern, and underlayment all have to meet the manufacturer’s specs and Miami-Dade product approvals. Palm Beach County adopted dramatically tightened wind-load codes after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, and new construction or significant alterations here must meet 150+ mph design-pressure requirements. When we install CertainTeed Landmark Pro with RoofRunner underlayment and proper fastening, the system is engineered to meet code. Whether a warranty claim gets paid depends on installation quality, which is why the installer’s name matters. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free roof inspection.
We do, and we do it regularly. Condo associations along A1A are budgeting for re-roofs under Florida’s new mandatory structural inspection laws, SB 4-D, and many boards need a contractor who will sit through a board meeting, explain CertainTeed specifications in plain English, and submit a bid in writing with allowances itemized. We’ll prepare material submittals, attend the meeting, and pull every permit. One board in a high-rise east of Federal Highway had us present three CertainTeed system options with different wind uplift ratings and life expectancies. They chose the middle option and passed the final inspection without a correction. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask to speak with Tom directly.
If you see lifted shingle tabs, creased shingles, or granule loss concentrated on roof slopes facing the ocean, document it with photos immediately and call us before touching anything. We’ll do a thorough inspection and give you an honest assessment: repair if it’s isolated, or a claim-ready report if it’s storm-related damage across multiple slopes. Our report includes specific measurements, date-stamped photos, and a line-item repair or replacement estimate you can hand to your adjuster. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free storm damage assessment.
CertainTeed RoofRunner synthetic underlayment is the first thing we reach for on low-slope sections, because it resists tearing, lays flat, and handles ponding water far better than felt. In Boca Raton’s afternoon downpours, ponding water on a flat section sits for hours, and felt eventually rots. RoofRunner doesn’t. We also flash the transitions properly so water can’t wick under the edge. Call (877) 610-1318 for a quote on your flat section.
