Owens Corning Construction in Miramar, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
We provide independent Owens Corning roof replacement, repair, and impact window installation across Miramar’s 33023 corridor. The one thing that makes our Owens Corning work here different: nearly every re-roof we do on Miramar’s older east side forces a structural tie-down upgrade that most other South Florida cities already got handled after Hurricane Andrew. If your 1950s or 1960s CBS home still has its original roof framing, that’s the conversation we’ll have before we ever order shingles. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the roof with you.
Why Miramar Residents Choose Us for Owens Corning Service
Tom Barrett grew up in the San Fernando Valley and learned framing at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, but the better part of two decades of building and remodeling taught him something the classroom couldn’t: the job never lies. That’s why we don’t skip the inspection step most contractors wave off. In Miramar, we’ve spent years retrofitting pre-Andrew CBS homes, and we know exactly where Owens Corning underlayment, ventilation, and shingle systems fail under Broward County’s HVHZ wind and humidity loads. We also offer Kitchen Remodeling in Miramar and other home improvement services. We’re an independent contractor, not an Owens Corning dealer or authorized rep, so our recommendation comes from what holds up on your street, not from a manufacturer’s brochure. You can look up Tom’s name, address, and license number before you sign anything. And ask anyone on your street if we showed up when we said we would.
Common Owens Corning Construction Problems We Solve in Miramar
- Wind uplift at gable ends on pre-Andrew CBS trusses. Older Miramar homes often lack hurricane clips at the truss-to-wall connection, so even Owens Corning shingles rated for 130 mph can peel away when the roof deck lifts. We add H2.5A clips and re-nail the deck before laying new shingles.
- Algae streaking and granule loss on north-facing slopes. Miramar’s high humidity and frequent afternoon storms feed the black algae streaks that eat into Owens Corning Duration and Oakridge shingles. A copper strip retrofit or algae-resistant replacement fixes it, but this has to be addressed before it becomes granule loss.
- Improperly flashed pipe boots and valleys on low-slope ranch roofs. The flat and low-slope roofing common in Miramar’s 1950s-through-1970s homes pools water around penetrations. We replace pipe boots and valley flashing with proper Owens Corning-compatible underlayment so the warranty actually means something.
- Ventilation shortfalls in 1950s attics with only gable vents. Those old attics bake Owens Corning shingles from below, curling and cracking them years early. We convert to VentSure ridge vents and add soffit intake so the roof breathes the way current code expects.
- Water damage from failed decking hidden under old shingles. We regularly open up Miramar roofs and find plywood that’s been spongy for years because a prior patch job covered it. If we see it, we show you a photo and a written change order before any new decking goes in.
Owens Corning Service in Miramar: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Miramar’s ZIP 33023 has one of the highest concentrations of pre-1994 concrete block homes in Broward County that must be brought up to current HVHZ code when roofs are replaced. That means almost every Owens Corning re-roof in this eastern corridor requires a simultaneous truss-to-wall tie-down upgrade that homeowners in western Miramar rarely face. On a 1962 ranch home off Utopia Drive, our crew removed the original 3-tab shingles and found no hurricane straps at the truss-to-CBS connection, just toe-nails. We installed Owens Corning Duration shingles over new plywood decking after our carpenters added H2.5A clips at every truss, then replaced the gable vents with a VentSure ridge vent to meet Broward ventilation requirements. That’s the difference between a roof that passes a visual check and one that holds up when a real storm hits.
Owens Corning Models & Products We Service in Miramar
We work with the full Owens Corning shingle line: Duration Series, Oakridge, and Supreme, plus ProEdge hip and ridge cap. We also install VentSure ridge vents and Starter Strip shingles as part of the system. Our rule is simple: genuine Owens Corning accessories or nothing. Mixing aftermarket flashing or underlayment can void the manufacturer’s wind warranty, and Miramar is not the place to gamble on a voided warranty. For full re-roofs on pre-Andrew homes, we often recommend replacing the entire Owens Corning system rather than patching, because the underlying strapping and decking failures are the real problem. We stock common accessory components locally so your Miramar job doesn’t sit waiting on a truck from Tampa.
Owens Corning Service Pricing in Miramar
What drives cost here isn’t the shingle price. It’s what’s under the shingles. A roof on a western Miramar home built after 1994 usually prices out clean. A roof on a 1963 CBS ranch off Pembroke Road might need $2,800 in tie-down clips, new decking, and a VentSure retrofit before the first bundle of Duration gets opened. A free estimate from us means we climb on the roof, open the eaves where we can, and give you a line-item written quote. Every price change after that arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
| Service | Miramar Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 - $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 - $1,800 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600 - $2,500 |

FAQs - Owens Corning Construction in Miramar
It’s rarely the shingle’s fault. Pre-Andrew CBS homes in 33023 lack hurricane clips at the truss-to-wall connection, so the roof deck itself flexes and lifts in high wind, tearing shingles off regardless of their wind rating. The fix is structural, not cosmetic. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll show you exactly what’s happening on your roof.
Almost never. Adding a second story means new load calculations, and the existing roof framing and tie-downs won’t meet current code once you’re in permit review. You’ll likely need a new Owens Corning system plus full structural upgrades. We handle the whole thing under one permit.
We use ProEdge hip and ridge cap. Off-brand cap shingles change the wind warranty and crack differently in Miramar’s heat. This isn’t a place to save $40 on a ridge.
We schedule roof tear-offs in phases and never leave exposed decking overnight between June and November. If a storm is within 72 hours, we delay. We’d rather finish a week late than leave your house open. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll talk through timing honestly.
In many 33023 homes, yes. Once you open a roof permit on a pre-1994 CBS structure, Broward code often requires impact-rated windows and doors as part of the same scope. We’ll tell you upfront before you sign anything, and the window work is one of our specialty trades alongside Bathroom Remodeling in Miramar.
