Meet the Fort Lauderdale Team Behind Mercer Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale

The crew you’ll see on your roof in Fort Lauderdale isn’t a rotating cast of subcontractors. It’s a small, steady group of people who know South Florida roofing, from Victoria Park to Rio Vista to Coral Ridge. They’ve worked through hurricane seasons together, fixed leaks in July downpours, and torn off shingles that should have been replaced a decade ago. What binds them is simple: they show up on time, they badge in at your door, and they don’t leave until the roof is right. You’ll know every name before anyone climbs a ladder.

Our People

Grant Whitlock, Owner

Grant founded Mercer Roofing in 2000 and has spent every year since learning what Fort Lauderdale weather does to a roof. He’s the one who answers the phone more often than not, and if you ask him about a ridge vent or a drip edge, he’ll explain it until you actually understand it. Grant built the company around a single idea: dry homes, honest pricing, and no surprises at the door. He still walks jobs personally when a roof has real problems.

Marcus T., Lead Technician

Marcus has been with Mercer for over a decade and handles the roofs that other companies walk away from. He’s GAF and CertainTeed certified, which matters when a manufacturer warranty depends on correct installation. Marcus is the guy who finds the leak that’s been stumping a homeowner for two years. He keeps a small notebook in his truck filled with measurements, material counts, and notes about Fort Lauderdale homes he’s worked on. He grew up in Dania Beach and knows exactly how salt air eats at flashing near the coast.

Elena R., Senior Installer

Elena leads most of Mercer’s full roof replacements in Fort Lauderdale. She’s certified on Owens Corning and Atlas systems, and she’s precise about underlayment and decking in a way that makes inspections go smoothly the first time. Before roofing, she did finish carpentry, and it shows in her flashing details and trim work. Elena keeps a photo album on her phone of every roof she’s ever done, sorted by neighborhood. She’ll show you the before-and-after if you ask.

Danielle P., Service Coordinator

Danielle is the voice on the phone when you call to schedule an estimate or ask what a repair might cost. She’s been with Mercer since 2017 and knows the Fort Lauderdale permit process well enough to tell you what to expect before the crew arrives. Danielle sends you the technician’s name and photo before every visit, so nobody ever opens the door to a stranger. She’s also the one who follows up after a repair to make sure the fix held through the next thunderstorm.

Andre W., Apprentice

Andre joined Mercer two years ago after doing metal fabrication and wanted to learn roofing from people who actually care about the trade. He’s training under Marcus and Elena, learning how Fort Lauderdale’s heat and humidity affect shingle adhesion and how to read plywood decking for soft spots before they become structural problems. Andre carries the ladder, mixes the mortar, and asks smart questions. He’s passed his background check and wears the same badge as everyone else on the truck.

One Standard, Every Job

Every Mercer Roofing location operates under the Threshold Standard, and our Fort Lauderdale crew holds to it on every single visit. That means every technician is background-checked, identity-verified, and in a clean, marked uniform with a photo ID badge before they ever touch your doorbell. You get a written price before any work starts, period. Every repair comes with a written guarantee, and if that repair fails within 365 days, we come back and make it right at no charge. The 365-Day Done Right Promise isn’t a slogan on a truck wrap. It’s a standard our crew signed on to when they joined, and Grant enforces it personally. When a homeowner in Fort Lauderdale calls us after a storm, they’re not getting a call center or a random crew from three counties away. They’re getting the same people, the same standard, and the same written guarantee. That’s what keeps our schedule full, and it’s why homeowners in Sailboat Bend, Tarpon River, and Shady Banks keep our number in their phones.
