Why Fort Lauderdale Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service

Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons in 1998, and he learned construction at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending two decades building and remodeling homes, including our Kitchen Remodeling in Fort Lauderdale. When we work with CertainTeed products in Fort Lauderdale, we treat them the way the manufacturer specifies, but we also account for what the manufacturer’s general guidelines can’t know: the way salt-laden onshore air corrodes fasteners on canal-front homes in Coral Ridge, and the way HVHZ wind loads punish a roof assembly that was fine in another state.

We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer. That independence means we can choose the right CertainTeed product for the job without a sales quota behind it. If you need a CertainTeed roof inspection before hurricane season, or you’re replacing CertainTeed siding on a 1950s concrete block home in Tarpon River, we send one of our own crews. No strangers off a van. We stock OEM-compatible CertainTeed materials locally, and we answer our own phone.

If you’re in the Fort Lauderdale service area, we’ll come out, look at what you have, and tell you straight what it needs.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Fort Lauderdale

• CertainTeed roofing shingle failures in the HVHZ. Fort Lauderdale sits inside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which requires 170+ mph design-pressure testing. Older CertainTeed asphalt shingle roofs installed before the current Florida Building Code often lack the reinforced roof-to-wall connectors now mandatory. We find lifted shingles, failed seal strips, and nail pops that let water in during a summer storm. We re-secure or replace them before the next named storm arrives.
• Salt-air corrosion on CertainTeed siding fasteners. On homes along the canals in Coral Ridge and the finger islands, salt-laden air accelerates corrosion of steel nails and screws holding CertainTeed vinyl and fiber cement siding. We regularly replace rusted fasteners and re-seat panels that have worked loose, which is a repair that matters more here than a mile inland.
• Seawall deflection under CertainTeed decking and railings. There’s a failure mode Fort Lauderdale contractors know too well: aging concrete seawalls rotate inward from tidal soil saturation, which cracks the patio slab above and loosens the CertainTeed decking and railing posts. The seawall has to be permitted and rebuilt before any deck work can be finaled by Broward County inspectors. We handle that sequence, permits included.
• Wind-driven rain behind CertainTeed trim and fascia. Fort Lauderdale gets sideways rain, not just vertical rain. If CertainTeed trim wasn’t flashed correctly at the eave and rake edges, wind-driven water gets behind it and rots the substrate underneath. We see this constantly on 1960s concrete block homes in Victoria Park. The fix is removing the trim, repairing what’s behind it, and re-installing with proper flashing.
• Humidity-related warping on CertainTeed composite decking. Year-round humidity and direct sun stress CertainTeed decking boards, especially where they butt against a pool cage or seawall cap. We replace cupped and warped boards, adjust the gapping to Florida spec, and re-secure the framing underneath.

CertainTeed Service in Fort Lauderdale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Here’s something you won’t read on a generic CertainTeed page. Fort Lauderdale’s 165+ miles of navigable canals mean a disproportionate share of construction projects sit on saturated, tidal-affected soil next to a seawall. On canal-front lots throughout Coral Ridge and the finger islands, we regularly find that aging concrete seawalls have rotated inward beneath existing pool decks and patio slabs. That movement cracks the slab, which then telegraphs stress into whatever CertainTeed decking, railing, or trim is anchored to it. No neighboring city like Pompano Beach or Hollywood faces this exact combination of canal-front lot prevalence and maximum-tier HVHZ wind-load code on nearly every residential permit. When a CertainTeed product fails on a Fort Lauderdale canal home, the root cause is often below the product, not in it. That’s why our inspections start with the structure and the seawall, not just the surface material. We’ve pulled CertainTeed deck boards on a Coral Ridge finger island and found the joist hangers rusted through from groundwater wicking up through the seawall. You fix the fastener, then you fix the board, or you’ll be back in eighteen months doing it again.

CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Fort Lauderdale

We work across the CertainTeed residential lines that make sense in South Florida. That includes CertainTeed Landmark and Landmark Pro asphalt shingles, which we see most often on Fort Lauderdale re-roofs. We also service CertainTeed vinyl siding, Cedar Impressions polymer shake siding, and the CertainTeed trim and fascia lines. On the decking side, we handle CertainTeed EverNew composite decking and railing.

We use OEM-compatible CertainTeed materials whenever a repair calls for replacement components. For color matching on older siding and trim, we keep a reference library of CertainTeed color codes and order directly from regional distribution. That means we can match a 2010 CertainTeed Cedar Impressions panel in Coral Ridge without guessing. If you’re comparing CertainTeed service versus other CertainTeed sales & service options, the difference is that we stock for Fort Lauderdale specifically, not for a generic Florida market.
