CertainTeed Roofing in Fountainebleau, FL | Mercer Roofing Co Miami
We provide independent Fountainebleau Roof Repair, maintenance, and full replacement across Fountainebleau, FL.

Call (850) 753-2996 for a free estimate.
Why Fountainebleau Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed builds a solid product line, but a roof is only as good as the crew that installs and maintains it under Fountainebleau’s specific conditions. Our crews have worked on hundreds of CertainTeed roofs across Miami-Dade, so we know exactly how their proprietary products perform under this neighborhood’s heat, humidity, and wind. We stay current on CertainTeed installation specs and Miami-Dade product approvals so repairs are done right the first time without claiming any factory tie.
Grant Whitlock, who leads our Fountainebleau service team, learned the roofing trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending nearly three decades putting roofs on everything from Coral Gables bungalows to flat-top commercial buildings near Brickell. He’s worked through enough Miami hurricane seasons to know where a CertainTeed roof fails first in Fountainebleau, and he shows up to every inspection himself. That’s the level of attention your roof gets. For broader context, see our CertainTeed sales & service page.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Fountainebleau
Here are the failures we see most often on CertainTeed roofs in Fountainebleau, and what’s causing them:
- Granule loss and blistering on older Landmark shingles. Fountainebleau’s intense UV exposure bakes shingles from above while attic heat works from below. The result is granule loss that exposes the asphalt underneath, which then hardens and cracks. We find this most on the southern and western roof faces of 1960s and 1970s ranches throughout Fountainebleau.
- Wind uplift at rake and eave edges on Landmark Pro. After hurricane-force gusts, we regularly see tabs lifting where nail patterns were inadequate or where the original installer overdriven fasteners. On Fountainebleau low-rise apartments with long roof slopes, the edge sections take the brunt and fail first.
- Heat-induced cracking of older WinterGuard underlayment around penetrations. Vent pipes, chimney curbs, and skylight frames concentrate heat on flat and low-slope sections. In Fountainebleau’s subtropical climate, the underlayment around these penetrations can crack within a decade, causing hidden leaks that only surface during afternoon thunderstorms.
- Blisters and splits in North Gate SBS cap sheets on flat roofs. Fountainebleau has many two-story apartment buildings with built-up or modified bitumen flat sections. Ponding water plus daily thermal cycling creates blisters in the cap sheet that eventually split open. This is a slow failure, but by the time you see water stains on the ceiling, the damage is extensive.
- Brittle original concrete tiles hiding failed underlayment. This is the big one in Fountainebleau. Many homes still have their original 1960s-era concrete roof tiles. The tiles look fine from the street, but they’ve become brittle and faded, and lifting them reveals underlayment that’s been deteriorating for decades.
CertainTeed Service in Fountainebleau: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here’s what makes Fountainebleau different from Miami or Doral when it comes to CertainTeed service: the housing stock here was built overwhelmingly between 1950 and 1980, and a large share of single-family homes still carry their original concrete tile roofs. Under Miami-Dade’s current code, those brittle tiles often conceal failed underlayment that can only be properly remedied by a full tile lift, underlayment replacement, and tile reset. That’s a job disproportionately common in Fountainebleau because of the age of the homes. Miami and Miami Gardens have newer construction where this issue is rare.
Our tech recently responded to a leak on a 1963 ranch near SW 8th Street where the original concrete tiles had become brittle. Lifting the tile field revealed cracked, deteriorated underlayment that had been allowing water into the deck for years. We replaced the underlayment with WinterGuard, reset the salvageable tiles, and added matching new tile where needed, stopping the leaks before summer storm season. That’s the reality of CertainTeed work in Fountainebleau: the problem is rarely what you can see.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Fountainebleau
We install and repair across the CertainTeed line that’s approved for Miami-Dade wind loads. That includes Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential Shake for homeowners who want a heavyweight look, North Gate SBS modified bitumen on flat sections, and WinterGuard waterproofing underlayment on all low-slope and penetration details. When a repair requires matching materials, we source genuine CertainTeed shingles and accessories wherever color and warranty continuity matter. For discontinued colors, we use code-approved aftermarket matches only after documenting the substitution in writing. We keep the most common Landmark colors and North Gate cap sheet materials stocked for quick Fountainebleau turnaround.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Fountainebleau
Most CertainTeed roof repairs in Fountainebleau fall between $350 and $1,200 depending on what we’re addressing. A simple shingle replacement on a sloped section runs lower on that scale, while a flat roof patch using North Gate SBS or a WinterGuard underlayment repair around penetrations runs higher. Full tile lifts with underlayment replacement on older Fountainebleau homes typically start around $9,000 and go up based on roof size and how many tiles need replacement. Every project starts with a written price before any work begins, and every repair includes a written 365-day guarantee with a free second visit if it fails.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Fountainebleau
Code doesn’t always require full replacement. If the underlayment is intact and the tiles are sound, we can replace individual cracked or missing tiles. But when a tile lift reveals deteriorated underlayment, Miami-Dade’s code does require that underlayment to be replaced, which means lifting the whole tile field. We’ll tell you which situation you’re in before any work begins. Call (850) 753-2996 for an inspection and a written assessment.
Yes. WinterGuard is our standard for underlayment on flat and low-slope sections in Fountainebleau because it holds up to the ponding water and thermal cycling that’s common on 1960s and 1970s apartment buildings here. We use it around penetrations, on low-slope transitions, and under North Gate cap sheet repairs.
Sometimes. If granule loss is isolated to a few shingles, we can replace them with genuine matching CertainTeed shingles and keep the roof watertight for a few more years. But if granule loss is widespread across multiple slopes in Fountainebleau, that means the shingles have reached the end of their useful life under our UV exposure, and patching becomes a losing game. We’ll give you an honest read either way.
Yes. We routinely install North Gate SBS modified bitumen on flat sections of Fountainebleau homes where the sloped sections carry GAF, Owens Corning, or other brands. Mixing brands is fine as long as flashings and transitions are done correctly. We’ll match the existing roofline and make the transitions watertight.
We search for remaining stock of the discontinued color through our supplier network first. If genuine CertainTeed shingles in that color are no longer available, we use a code-approved aftermarket match and document the substitution in your written estimate. You’ll always know exactly what’s going on your Fountainebleau roof before we install it. Call (850) 753-2996 for an exact quote, and the estimate is free.
