This page is for homeowners who want to know what’s actually wrong with their Owens Corning roof, what it costs to fix, and who exactly will be walking up the driveway. You’ll get real numbers, not vague ranges. You’ll also get a name and a photo before we arrive.

How Owens Corning Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• Duration Series granule shedding on the south slope. Fort Lauderdale’s UV load is relentless, and on longer south-facing roof planes we see Duration shingles losing granules faster than on north-facing sections. It shows up as bare, shiny patches and a black grit trail in the gutter after storms. We map the affected area, measure remaining granule embedment, and if the shingle is still structurally sound, we document it for the Owens Corning wind and algae warranty record. If it’s failing, we replace the damaged shingles with color-matched Duration stock.
• Oakridge shingles cracking at the nail line after tropical storms. The older Oakridge line was thicker and less flexible in cold-bond asphalt than newer TruDefinition. After years of thermal cycling (heat of the day, sudden downpour at 3 p.m., repeat), the shingle mats get brittle. When a strong gust lifts the tab, the shingle cracks right above the nail. The repair is straightforward: pull the broken shingle, check the decking beneath for nail fatigue, and set a matching replacement. The bigger question is how many others are close behind. We’ll tell you honestly.
• TruDefinition Duration algae streaking that gets mistaken for leaks. The blue-green staining that creeps across Fort Lauderdale roofs is a type of algae called Gloeocapsa magma that feeds on limestone filler in asphalt shingles. It’s cosmetic, not a leak, but it drives homeowners to us every season. We inspect the shingle for actual granule loss or nail pops to make sure it’s only algae, and we can talk through cleaning options that don’t void the Owens Corning limited warranty.
• Supreme three-tab shingles with nail pops along the top seam. The old Supreme three-tab line (discontinued now) used a thinner fiberglass mat, and in Fort Lauderdale’s wet season, the wood decking under it swells and contracts. The nails work up just enough to push through the shingle above. That tiny protrusion catches wind and lets water in. We pull the popped nail, reseat it with a ring-shank replacement, and seal it properly. If we find more than a few, we’ll show you pictures before recommending a repaint of the area or, in some cases, a conversation about time-to-replace.
• Flashing failures where Owens Corning shingles meet vertical walls near the coast. Salt air in Fort Lauderdale, especially east of US-1, corrodes the thin steel flashing at headwalls, chimneys, and dormers. The shingles may be fine, but the flashing behind them is holed or rusted through at the fasteners. We replace the flashing with a heavier-gauge aluminum that holds up to the salt, then weave Owens Corning step flashing back through the existing shingle course. Shingle replacement alone won’t fix this, and we’ll say so even when it means more work.

Our Owens Corning Roof Repair Process

1. 1
   You call (754) 354-1224. A live person answers, not a recording. You tell us what you’re seeing: stain on the ceiling, shingles in the yard after last night’s storm, granules in the gutter. We schedule the visit.
2. 2
   We send you your technician’s name and photo before they arrive. This is what Mercer does for every job. When the doorbell rings, the person at the door matches the photo and carries a photo ID badge. Uniform, marked van, no surprises.
3. 3
   The technician walks the roof and finds the actual failure. For Owens Corning jobs, that means checking the usual specific points: nail heads working up, granule embedment on multiple slopes, sealant strip adhesion at the eaves, and flashing at every penetration. We take photos and show them to you before any work is discussed.
4. 4
   You get a written price before the first material is ordered. If the shingle is OEM-matched from Owens Corning, it’s in the line item. If a quality aftermarket flashing is the better call, it’s listed as such with the reasoning. No hidden line items after the fact.
5. 5
   We do the repair the same visit when possible. Most shingle replacements, leak repairs, vent boot replacements, and flashing work happen that day. The roof is cleaned up before we leave. Nails are not left in the grass to find with your car tire.
6. 6
   You get the written 365-Day Done Right Promise. Every repair includes it. If it’s not right within a year, we come back free and make it right. That’s the guarantee, in writing, on every single Owens Corning repair we do in Fort Lauderdale.

What Owens Corning Roof Repair Costs in Fort Lauderdale

Here’s what we see across Broward County right now. These are actual ranges, not teaser prices:

• Single shingle or small tab replacement: $425 to $650 depending on slope, access, and whether we need to source a discontinued color match.
• Leak repair at a pipe boot or vent: $550 to $850. Most pipe boot failures are around the rubber collar, not the shingle itself.
• Flashing replacement at one chimney or headwall: $750 to $1,450. Salt-corroded flashing is the most common repair we do within five miles of the coast.
• Valley repair with new peel-and-stick underlayment and shingle re-lay: $1,200 to $2,300 depending on valley length and decking condition.

What moves the price: how high and steep your roof is, whether the decking is rotted under the shingle, and whether your Owens Corning shingle is still in production or needs an archive match. You’ll know before we start. That’s a Mercer rule, not a nicety. Call (754) 354-1224 for a free estimate and a line-item price on paper.
