Fast, Reliable Roofing Company Across Fountainebleau
If you own a home in Fountainebleau, you already know the roofs here take a beating. Between the subtropical sun baking concrete tile all summer and hurricane-season downpours testing every seam on a flat roof, this neighborhood has its own set of roofing problems. Mercer Roofing Co Miami handles all of them, from cracked 1960s tile to failed modified bitumen on two-story apartment buildings. We send background-checked, uniformed technicians with photo ID badges, and you get a written price before any work starts. Call (850) 753-2996 to schedule a free estimate.
This page covers what Fountainebleau homeowners actually deal with: the hidden damage older roofs hide, what Miami-Dade code requires once we open things up, and exactly what repairs and replacements cost in this part of Miami-Dade County. No vague ranges, no blank-check re-roofs. Just the facts, written down, with photos of anything we find.
Why Mercer Roofing Co Miami Is Fountainebleau’s Preferred Roofing Company
Fountainebleau’s housing stock is different from what you’ll find in newer parts of Miami-Dade. The streets off NW 7th Street, NW 107th Avenue, and around Fountainebleau Park are lined with 1950s through 1980s ranch homes, split-levels, and low-rise apartment buildings, many still wearing their original concrete roof tiles. That’s not a problem for a roofer who knows what to look for. It’s a problem for a roofer who only does shingle tear-offs in new subdivisions.
Our Roofing Company team works in Fountainebleau regularly. We know the homes here. We know that a “simple” leak around a chimney on a mid-century ranch usually means the felt underlayment has turned to dust underneath tile that still looks fine from the street. We know that flat roofs on apartment buildings along NW 12th Street fail at the seams first, not in the middle of the field. And we know Miami-Dade product approval codes inside and out, because they govern every repair we do here.
Every crew member who shows up at your door is background-checked, identity-verified, and wearing a clean uniform with a photo ID badge. Before they arrive, we send you their name and photo. That’s the Threshold Verified standard, and we’re held to it on every visit. Grant Whitlock leads our team, and he holds every tech to that same bar.

Roof Inspection in Fountainebleau
A Roof Inspection in Fountainebleau is not a drive-by glance at your shingles. The older concrete tile roofs in this area, many dating to the 1960s and 1970s, need a ground-level and on-roof review. We check for hairline cracks in the tile, loose or slipped pieces, failed flashing around chimneys and vents, and underlayment that has dried out under decades of humidity.
Most Fountainebleau homeowners schedule an inspection in early fall, before the storm season closes in, or right after a heavy rain reveals a ceiling stain. You should also get one if you’re buying or selling a home here, because lenders and insurers want documentation that the roof meets Miami-Dade wind-load standards. A written inspection report with photos is exactly what they ask for.
What We Check on Concrete Tile
Brittle tile is the big one. Sixty-year-old concrete tile that has faded to a chalky white will crack under foot traffic, and sometimes under its own weight after a wind event. We lift tiles in sampled areas and look at the underlayment beneath. If the felt is disintegrating, the roof is only one good storm away from a leak.
Flat and Low-Slope Roof Inspections
If your Fountainebleau property has a flat or low-slope section, likely on a carport, addition, or apartment building, we inspect the seams, penetrations, and drain collars closely. Afternoon downpours here find every open lap in modified bitumen. A wet spot on your ceiling usually traces back to one failed seam or an unsealed pipe boot.
Commercial Roofing in Fountainebleau
Commercial Roofing in Fountainebleau means low-slope and flat roofing on apartment buildings, small offices, and retail strips along the main corridors. These roofs are almost always built-up asphalt or modified bitumen, often with gravel on top. They fail differently than shingle roofs, and they need a contractor who doesn’t treat a commercial flat roof like a big residential job.
We handle reroofs, recover systems, and repairs for property managers who need documentation for insurance and code compliance. Miami-Dade permits are part of the job, not an afterthought. We pull them, we schedule inspections, and we give you a written contract with allowances for anything the inspector may flag once the old roof is opened.
Modified Bitumen and Built-Up Repairs
The two biggest failure points are seams and penetrations. UV exposure and ponding water break down the laps over time. We torch or cold-apply new membrane, reseal all penetrations, and replace damaged drain collars. Repairs are documented with before-and-after photos.
Code-Compliant Reroofs
If the roof is past repair, we reroof to current Miami-Dade wind-load requirements. That means new insulation where needed, mechanically fastened or adhered membrane, and edge metal that meets the high-velocity wind zone standards. You get a written price before the tear-off starts, with allowances for decking or insulation replacement spelled out in the contract.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fountainebleau
Mercer Roofing installs and repairs roofs using manufacturer-recognized shingle and tile brands, including Boral concrete tile, Atlas shingles, and IKO roofing systems. If your Fountainebleau home still has original Boral concrete tile, we know its profile, its fastener pattern, and what replacement tile costs in this market. For shingle roofs, Atlas and IKO both make high-wind-rated products that meet Miami-Dade approval codes. We keep common repair materials scheduled for jobs in Fountainebleau, so you’re not waiting on a special-order part when your roof is already leaking.

AfterCommon Roofing Company Problems We See in Fountainebleau Homes
- Brittle original concrete tile. Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often still have their first roof. Tile looks fine from the ground, but lifts reveal hairline cracks that leak slowly until a storm blows them open.
- Flat-roof seam failures on additions and carports. Fountainebleau’s afternoon downpours find every open lap and unsealed penetration. By the time water shows up inside, the membrane has been compromised for months.
- Disintegrated underlayment under tile. Trapped humidity rots the felt beneath concrete tile. The tile can look perfect while the waterproofing underneath is gone.
- Improper ridge venting on low-slope roofs. A ridge vent installed without verifying the soffit vents are still open pulls humid attic air into the living space. It makes the house hotter and wetter, not drier.

FAQs About Roofing Company in Fountainebleau
Miami-Dade code requires that any roof replacement meet current wind-load and product approval standards. If your original concrete tile is still in place and we’re doing a repair, we can often reuse the tile if it passes inspection for cracks and structural integrity. However, if we’re doing a full reroof, the tile system must meet current attachment requirements, which often means new fasteners, underlayment, and sometimes new tile profiles. If you think your original tile is still good, call (850) 753-2996 and we’ll tell you exactly what code requires for your street.
Underlayment on a flat roof is the waterproofing layer, and Miami-Dade treats it as part of the roof assembly. Replacing it triggers a permit because the work affects wind-load performance and drainage. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and include the permit cost in your written quote before we start.
We write a decking allowance into every reroof contract. If the crew opens the roof and finds rotten plywood or OSB, we photograph it, show you the photos, and replace the damaged sections at the pre-approved price per sheet. Nothing gets touched without your written approval. That’s how we avoid blank-check re-roofs in Fountainebleau.
In most cases, no. The gravel on a built-up roof is the ballast, and Miami-Dade wind-load codes require that it be removed so the membrane and insulation can be inspected and replaced as needed. We can do a recover over the existing membrane in some situations, but the gravel has to come off first. We’ll tell you which option fits your building after a free inspection. Call (850) 753-2996 to schedule one.
Yes. Flashing and drip edge are part of every inspection and every written quote. Failed flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents is the single most common source of leaks on Fountainebleau homes, and drip edge that is corroded or missing lets water wick back under the shingle or tile edge. We don’t quote a roof without checking both.
