Fast, Reliable Roofing Company Across Ojus
Ojus homes don’t forgive guesswork. The flat and low-slope roofs on the 1950s through 1970s houses here pond water after every heavy afternoon storm, and the subtropical sun beats down on those same roofs all year. That combination means a roofing contractor who treats Ojus like any other South Florida suburb will miss what actually matters: hidden moisture, UV-degraded membranes, and drainage that has not worked right in decades. We coordinate scheduling and dispatch from our Miami South Florida office, with crews serving Ojus locally every week. Our Roofing Company team knows the difference between a roof that looks fine from the street and one that is about to fail. Call (754) 354-1224 for a free estimate and a written price before any work starts.
Why Mercer Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale Is Ojus’s Preferred Roofing Company Company
When a homeowner in Ojus calls us, they get a live person on the phone, 24/7. Not a voicemail, not a call-back form. That matters when a storm has just pushed water through your ceiling and you need to talk to someone who can help right now. Every technician we send to Ojus is background-checked, uniformed, and carries a photo ID badge they present at the door. Before they even arrive, you get their name and photo sent to you. You will know exactly who is walking up your driveway. Grant Whitlock leads our team, and the standard he set is simple: treat every Ojus home like the person inside is waiting for proof that we are who we say we are.
We’re part of the Threshold Group family, founded in 2000, and every job carries the Threshold Verified standard. That means identity-verified, background-checked technicians on every visit. For older Ojus homeowners, parents home alone with young kids, or anyone who just doesn’t want a stranger at the door, that badge is the difference between anxiety and certainty. We put the same certainty in writing: a written price before work starts, and a written guarantee on every repair. If a repair fails within 365 days, we come back and make it right, free.
Styles & brands we work with






Roof Inspection in Ojus
Roof Inspection in Ojus is not a quick visual once-over. On the older flat and low-slope roofs here, the real problems hide under the surface, and they only show themselves after a heavy afternoon downpour. We use infrared moisture scanning on original tar-and-gravel and built-up roofing systems to find water trapped under the membrane before it rots the decking. A typical roof inspection in Ojus runs $199 – $399 depending on roof size and access. If you are getting quotes for a replacement, this scan should happen first. Skipping it means any hidden moisture gets sealed in under the new roof.
Infrared Scanning on Older Built-Up Roofs
The original tar-and-gravel roofs across Ojus were built in an era before modern membrane technology. After 50 or 60 years of South Florida sun, the surface can look intact while moisture sits trapped underneath. Infrared scanning shows us exactly where that moisture is, so we can quote the right scope of work instead of discovering rot after the tear-off begins.
Post-Storm Documentation
After a summer storm rolls through Ojus, a documented inspection gives you a written record of what the roof looked like before any new damage shows up later. That record helps with insurance claims and prevents disputes about what happened when.
Commercial Roofing in Ojus
Commercial Roofing in Ojus involves flat and low-slope systems that need a different approach than residential pitched roofs. The older commercial buildings along West Dixie Highway and around the Skylake corridor often have modified bitumen or built-up roofs that pond after storms. A commercial roof inspection or repair in Ojus typically runs $350 – $800 for smaller scopes, with full replacements quoted per square foot depending on the system. Every quote starts with a written price before anything is ordered.
Ponding Water and Drainage Correction
Ponding water is the number one commercial roof problem we see in Ojus. When water sits for 48 hours or more after a storm, it accelerates membrane breakdown and UV damage compounds. We assess drain placement, correct low spots, and recommend reflective coatings that reduce surface temperature and extend the roof’s life.
Minimizing Business Disruption
We know that an Ojus business can’t shut down for weeks for a roof replacement. Our crews schedule around your operating hours where possible, contain debris, and keep the site clean. You get a written schedule before work starts, and the price is locked in writing before we order materials.
Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus
We install and repair roofs using manufacturer-recognized shingle and membrane brands including GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Ojus homeowners, that means we can match existing materials on a 1960s built-up roof or source the right tile profile for a newer custom estate. We stock common parts locally for Ojus jobs so we’re not waiting on a distributor in another county when you need a repair. Whether you have an Owens Corning shingle roof or an IKO membrane system, we handle the warranty paperwork correctly and file claims the way the manufacturer requires.

AfterCommon Roofing Company Problems We See in Ojus Homes
- Hidden moisture in original tar-and-gravel roofs. The Skylake area and other neighborhoods built in the 1950s and 60s often have roofs that look dry but hold water under the gravel. Only an infrared scan shows what is actually going on.
- Penetration leaks around vents and pipes. The intense summer storms in Ojus force water into any weakened flashing. We find and repair these with proper flashing replacement, not a bead of caulk that fails next season.
- UV-degraded flat roof membranes. The South Florida sun breaks down uncoated flat roofs fast. Reflective white coatings are a recurring need here, and they can extend a roof’s life by years when applied correctly.
- Ponding zones on low-slope roofs. Poor original drainage or settling creates low spots where water sits after every storm. We correct the slope or add drains so the roof sheds water the way it should.
On a Skylake-area mid-century home with an original tar-and-gravel roof, our tech ran an infrared scan after a heavy afternoon downpour and found hidden moisture around a vent penetration that had never shown visible staining. We replaced the flashed penetration, added a reflective white coating, and corrected the low-slope drainage to stop recurring ponding, all before the next storm.
Pricing for Roofing Company in Ojus, FL
Roof repairs in Ojus typically run $350 – $1,200 for common issues like flashing, penetrations, and small membrane patches. Full flat roof replacements on older Ojus homes generally fall between $12,000 – $28,000 depending on square footage and system type. Metal and concrete tile roofs on newer custom estates start higher, often $22,000 – $45,000, driven by material lead times and specialty installation requirements. The biggest cost variable on flat roofs is what we find underneath: if hidden moisture has rotted the decking, replacement framing adds to the total. That is exactly why we scan first.

FAQs About Roofing Company in Ojus
Infrared scans reveal moisture trapped inside an old flat roof that no visual inspection can see. On Ojus homes with original tar-and-gravel or built-up roofs, water hides under the surface for years without staining the ceiling, and sealing it under a new roof rots the decking from the inside. The scan takes about 30 minutes and shows us exactly what is wet, so your quote reflects the real scope, not a surprise discovered after tear-off. Call (754) 354-1224 to schedule a scan before you get replacement quotes.
For flat and low-slope Ojus roofs, a reflective white coating over a properly installed modified bitumen or single-ply membrane is the strongest combination against UV degradation and storm-driven ponding. Concrete tile and metal work well on the newer custom estates if the underlayment is installed correctly. The material matters less than the installation details: flashing, drainage, and UV protection are what actually determine longevity in this climate.
Most specialty roofing materials like concrete tile profiles and certain metal systems take 4 to 12 weeks from order to delivery. That lead time, not labor, is what sets the calendar on a custom roof. We lock in material pricing in writing before we order, so you’re not exposed to a mid-project price increase when the distributor updates their rates. Call (754) 354-1224 if you want to know current lead times for a specific material.
Yes. Penetrations and flashing are where most original Ojus flat roofs fail first, especially after decades of storms and sun have degraded the original tar seals. We replace flashed penetrations properly using new boot flashings and membrane-rated sealants, not caulk patches. Every repair comes with a written 365-day guarantee. If a penetration leaks again within a year, we return and fix it free.
Yes. For new custom builds and major renovations in Ojus, we work directly with your architect or designer on roof structure, drainage, and material selection, and we lock in long-lead material pricing in writing before anything is ordered. That coordination keeps your schedule predictable and your budget fixed. Call (754) 354-1224 and we will set up a call with your design team.
