Owens Corning Roofing in Sunrise, FL | Mercer Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale
We provide independent Owens Corning Roofing Company in Sunrise service across Sunrise, FL, and the one thing that sets our work apart here is how well we know the aging shingle stock in this city’s subdivisions. Homes in Springtree and Welleby, many with original 1980s Owens Corning three-tab roofs, fail wind-mitigation inspections at a rate we see almost nowhere else in Broward County. Call (754) 354-1224 for a free estimate on repair or replacement of your Owens Corning roof.
As an independent service provider, we’re not factory-authorized by Owens Corning, and we don’t pretend to be. What we are is a crew that’s been on hundreds of Sunrise roofs with Duration, Oakridge, and legacy Supreme shingles, and we know how each one behaves under Florida sun and hurricane code, which is why homeowners trust us for Roof Repair in Sunrise. We also stock genuine Owens Corning components locally for faster turnaround when your roof can’t wait.
Why Sunrise Residents Choose Us for Owens Corning Service
Owens Corning makes a solid shingle, but any shingle is only as good as the installation and the ongoing care it gets. In Sunrise, where the sun punishes south-facing slopes and tropical storm gusts test every rake edge, that care matters more than most places. Our crews have spent years working on Owens Corning systems in this city’s ranch homes, two-story builds, and condo complexes. We know what a Duration FLEX looks like when it’s been baked for a decade, and we know what a Supreme three-tab sounds like when you step on it and the granules are gone.
We’re part of the Threshold Group family, founded in 2000, and every technician who arrives at your Sunrise home is background-checked, uniformed, and carrying a photo ID badge. You get their name and photo before they show up. Grant Whitlock, who leads our team, learned roofing through the construction technology program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent over two decades since then putting that training on real roofs. He’s the first to tell a Sunrise homeowner when a repair will hold another five years and when it won’t. We put the price in writing before anything gets touched, and every repair carries a written guarantee for 365 days. If it fails, the second visit is free.

Common Owens Corning Roofing Problems We Solve in Sunrise
- Granule loss and UV degradation on south-facing Duration slopes. Sunrise heat accelerates shingle aging fast. Duration shingles on south-facing roof planes can show bald spots and clogged gutters within 12 to 15 years. We replace individual shingles where the field is sound, and we’ll tell you straight when the whole slope is past saving.
- Wind uplift and blow-off at rake edges and ridge lines. Tropical storm gusts find the weak points. Where starter strips were omitted or misaligned on classic 1980s ranches, Owens Corning shingles lift and tear. We re-secure with proper Owens Corning Starter Strip and Hip & Ridge components.
- Valley and roof-to-wall flashing leaks on original Supreme roofs. Older three-tab systems in Springtree and Welleby often lack a secondary water barrier. When flashing fails at valleys or walls, water gets straight to the deck. We strip back, install Owens Corning Deck Defense underlayment, and rebuild the flashing with new step and counter flashing.
- Nail pops and shingle cracking over older plank decking. Humidity trapped under Owens Corning felt breaks down the underlayment over time, and nail pops follow. On Sunrise homes with original plank decking, we inspect for spongy spots and replace decking as needed before laying new shingles.
- Flat-roof carport tie-ins leaking at the transition. Many Sunrise homes have flat or low-slope areas over carports that tie into the main shingle roof. The transition is where leaked water shows up first. We patch with code-approved modified bitumen that matches the existing system, and we call for full replacement when the decking underneath is compromised.
Owens Corning Service in Sunrise: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what we see in Sunrise that we don’t see in Fort Lauderdale or Pompano Beach to the same degree: homes in Springtree and Welleby built after 1980 with Owens Corning three-tab shingles and no secondary water barrier. The shingles can look fine from the street. The granules might still be hanging on. But when a wind-mitigation inspection is done, the roof almost always gets flagged because there’s nothing between the shingles and the deck except old felt. Insurance companies won’t write the windstorm discount until that’s corrected.
For Owens Corning owners specifically, that means a repair that would be simple elsewhere becomes a full underlayment upgrade here. We install self-adhered Owens Corning underlayment over the original deck, which brings the roof into compliance and gives you a real water barrier. It’s not a patch job. It’s the fix that lets you keep your shingles and your insurance rating. If you’re selling a Sunrise home and the buyer’s inspection flags the roof, this is almost always the reason.
Our tech was called to a ranch home on NW 113th Ave in Welleby for a leak at the chimney flashing. The Owens Corning Supreme shingles from 1987 were granule-bald and brittle, and the decking around the chimney was spongy. We stripped back to rafters, replaced two sheets of CDX, laid Owens Corning Deck Defense, then rebuilt the flashing with new step and counter flashing before setting Duration shingles to match the original color. The owner booked a full reroof the next season because our repair made the rest of the roof look worse. Sometimes an honest patch is the best argument for a replacement.
Owens Corning Models & Products We Service in Sunrise
Our crews work across the Owens Corning line that shows up on Sunrise rooftops: the Duration Series, including Duration STORM and Duration FLEX; the Oakridge Series; TruDefinition Duration Designer Colors; and the legacy Supreme three-tab still found on plenty of 1980s and 1990s homes in this city.
When we replace shingles, we install genuine Owens Corning components: Hip & Ridge shingles, Starter Strip, and Deck Defense underlayment. Mixing brands voids wind warranties, and we won’t do that to your roof. For flat membrane patches over carports and additions, we use code-approved modified bitumen that matches the existing system. We keep common Owens Corning colors and components stocked for faster turnaround across Sunrise, so you’re not waiting on a distributor when a storm has already passed through.

AfterOwens Corning Service Pricing in Sunrise
Every job starts with a written price before any work begins. For Owens Corning repairs in Sunrise, shingle replacement on an accessible slope typically runs $350 to $1,200 depending on how many shingles need to come off and whether we’re replacing underlayment at the same time. Flashing repairs at valleys or chimneys generally land between $400 and $1,500. A full reroof with Owens Corning Duration on a typical Sunrise ranch runs $8,500 to $16,000, with steeper two-story homes and tile-to-shingle conversions running higher. A wind-mitigation underlayment upgrade over existing decking usually adds $2,500 to $6,000 depending on roof size and access.
What drives the cost is decking condition, roof pitch, and how much of the old felt has to come up. The free estimate includes a walk on the roof, a look at the decking where accessible, and a line-item quote you can keep. Call (754) 354-1224 and we’ll get you a number in writing.

FAQs – Owens Corning Roofing in Sunrise
Yes, in most cases a new Owens Corning Duration roof with proper starter strips, Hip & Ridge, and a secondary water barrier will qualify for wind-mitigation credits on your Sunrise policy. The key is documentation: we provide the photos, material receipts, and installation details your insurer needs. Call (754) 354-1224 and we’ll walk you through what your carrier is looking for.
Because wind mitigation isn’t about how the shingles look; it’s about what’s underneath them and how they’re attached. Most 1980s Owens Corning roofs in Sunrise have no secondary water barrier, nails that don’t meet current code, and no documentation of attachment. You can have a roof that sheds water fine and still fail the inspection. Installing self-adhered Owens Corning underlayment over the original deck fixes the barrier issue, but attachment may require a reroof. We’ll tell you which one your roof needs.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Owens Corning has changed color blends over the years, and a 1990s Onyx Black looks different from today’s. We keep samples of common legacy colors and can often get a close match that won’t stand out from the street. If the difference is too obvious on a visible slope, we’ll say so before we start. Call (754) 354-1224 and we’ll check the color against what’s available.
Owens Corning’s standard warranty covers manufacturing defects, not storm damage. Hurricane and tropical storm damage is typically a windstorm insurance claim, not a warranty issue. What Owens Corning does offer is a wind warranty on Duration systems when installed to their specifications with their components, which is why we won’t mix brands on your roof. Your insurance policy is the real protection against named storms.
Flat roofs under 2:12 pitch should not have shingles installed on them at all, regardless of brand. Owens Corning asphalt shingles are designed for sloped roofs. For flat carport areas, we recommend a modified bitumen or TPO membrane system instead, which we install as a code-approved match to the existing tie-in. We’ll assess the pitch and the transition and give you a written recommendation.
