AfterCertainTeed Construction in Miramar, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
We provide independent CertainTeed service across Miramar, from Cedar Impressions siding repairs to full Landmark roof replacements. The thing that makes our CertainTeed work here different is simple: we know what happens when pre-Andrew CBS construction meets today’s HVHZ code, and we plan for it before the first panel comes off. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate from a crew that’s been working these 33023 blocks for years.
Barrett & Sons Construction has spent over 29 years working on older South Florida homes, and a lot of them wear CertainTeed products that have outlived their original installers. We’re not factory-authorized and we won’t pretend to be. What we are is an independent contractor that knows how CertainTeed siding, trim, and roofing behave when they get retrofitted to meet Broward County’s wind-load and moisture requirements. For Miramar homeowners, that distinction matters more than any certificate on a wall.
Why Miramar Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Tom Barrett grew up around construction, learned framing and finish work at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, and has spent decades building and remodeling homes. When he started Barrett & Sons in 1998, he brought his sons into the business, and today they run the crews. When you call about CertainTeed siding or roofing in Miramar, you’re talking to people who also handle our Kitchen Remodeling in Miramar, answer their own phone, and live close enough to show up on time.
We keep genuine CertainTeed components in our inventory mix, not mystery knockoffs off a van. Color match matters on Monogram siding. Warranty continuity matters on Landmark shingles. And when a Miramar home needs structural retrofitting before new CertainTeed materials go on, we’re honest about that upfront. Scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing. That’s how Tom runs every job, and it’s why neighbors in 33023 keep our number.
Every job also carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Miramar
- Cedar Impressions panels cracking at corners. Original installers nailed them too tight decades ago, and Miramar’s older CBS walls have shifted through years of thermal expansion and settling. The panels crack at the fastener points. We remove, re-anchor, and replace with factory-matched panels, not caulk-and-paint patches.
- Landmark shingles curling and losing granules at the eaves. South Florida’s humidity and UV do a number on low-slope 1950s and 1960s ranch roofs. Granule loss exposes the mat, then the shingles curl. On Miramar roofs we check the deck before re-roofing, because pre-Andrew sheathing often isn’t rated for current loads.
- Monogram vinyl siding buckling around old jalousie window frames. Those single-pane jalousie and awning windows trap heat in the wall cavity, and the siding warps. This shows up constantly in 33023 remodels. We replace the siding and address the window framing so it doesn’t warp again in two summers.
- FlintBoard insulation holding moisture after storms. Pre-Andrew wall assemblies usually lacked proper drainage planes. Water gets behind the siding after a hurricane and the FlintBoard never dries out. We see the telltale staining when we open walls; the fix is a proper drainage retrofit, not more insulation stuffed into a wet cavity.
- Roof-to-wall connection failures discovered during roof replacement. On older Miramar homes, we frequently open a roof and find no hurricane straps at all between the trusses and the CBS wall. That’s a pre-1994 building norm, and Broward permit review won’t let us skip it. The CertainTeed job becomes a structural job, and we handle both.
CertainTeed Service in Miramar: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing about Miramar’s eastern 33023 corridor that a generic CertainTeed page will never tell you: homes built before 1994 typically have no roof-to-wall hurricane clips at all. When we replace CertainTeed roofing on one of these pre-Andrew CBS ranches, Broward County requires a full tie-down retrofit before a single new shingle goes down. That means opening the wall tops, installing engineered steel connectors, and passing an inspection before the roofing phase even begins. Homeowners in western Miramar, where most construction came after the 1994 code overhaul, never face this extra phase. But in the older blocks off Miramar Parkway and surrounding streets, it’s the rule, not the exception. The water table sits high here too, often within a few feet of grade on the low-lying limestone shelf, so any retrofit that touches the bottom of the wall has to account for drainage and moisture wicking. We plan for that from day one.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Miramar
We work on the CertainTeed lines that show up most on Miramar homes: Cedar Impressions siding, Monogram vinyl siding, Landmark asphalt shingles, and FlintBoard insulation. When a panel or shingle needs replacing, we use genuine CertainTeed components to keep the color and warranty intact. For structural work, we combine those brand components with code-mandated connectors, clips, and flashing from approved manufacturers. We always assess whether a repair will actually hold up to Broward’s wind-load requirements. If a patch won’t survive the next hurricane season, we tell you and recommend a full replacement with an upgraded system instead. For more on our brand coverage, see CertainTeed sales & service.

FAQs - CertainTeed Construction in Miramar
No. If we’re replacing CertainTeed siding on a pre-1994 Miramar home and the wall opening reveals missing hurricane clips or straps, Broward County requires the tie-down retrofit before we close the wall. We can’t legally skip it, and we wouldn’t anyway. Your siding job becomes a siding-plus-structural job, and we’ll put that in writing before work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your specific home needs.
Yes, when installed correctly over an HVHZ-compliant roof deck. On pre-Andrew Miramar ranches, the deck and the roof-to-wall connections usually need upgrading first. The shingles themselves are rated for high-wind zones, but the structural system under them has to meet code before the shingle warranty means anything. We’ll assess the deck, the slope, and the tie-downs, then give you a real number.
In most cases, yes. CertainTeed’s color formulations stay fairly stable, and we source factory-matched panels rather than painting mismatched pieces. Weather fade can make an exact match tricky on older installs, and we’ll tell you honestly if the old panels have shifted enough that a full elevation replacement makes more sense. Either way, you’ll know before we order anything.
Because the underlying deck and ventilation were built to 1960s standards, not today’s. Granule loss on Miramar roofs is almost always connected to heat and moisture trapped in the attic, which breaks down the shingle mat from underneath. Patching the shingles won’t stop it. We look at the deck, the airflow, and the underlayment, then recommend a fix that stops the granule loss instead of chasing it. Call (877) 610-1318 for an estimate on your roof.
We install impact-rated windows and handle Miramar Bathroom Remodeling on older homes, but not before checking the electrical panel. Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels are common in 33023, and many won’t safely support the loads new impact windows bring. If your panel needs replacement first, we’ll tell you and include it in the scope. We don’t put windows in a home with a panel that’s a fire risk. That’s not a code gray area we’ll ignore.
