Owens Corning Roofing in Orlando, FL | Mercer Roofing Co Orlando
We provide independent Owens Corning Roof Repair in Orlando, from shingle replacement and leak repair to full re-roofs on homes from Conway to Lake Nona. The one thing that makes our Owens Corning work here different is simple: we know how these specific shingles fail under Central Florida’s UV, humidity, and wind-uplift cycles, because we’ve repaired and replaced hundreds of them through every storm season since Irma. We’re not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized. We’re local roofers who understand Owens Corning products at the failure-point level. Call (850) 757-3564 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Why Orlando Residents Choose Us for Owens Corning Service
Most Roofing Company in Orlando competitors will happily install any shingle you point at. Fewer can tell you why a 2012 Oakridge roof in Pine Castle is losing granules faster than the same roof in Oviedo, or how pre-2002 eave construction in Conway creates a leak pattern you won’t see in Lake Nona. That’s the difference. We’ve worked Owens Corning roofs through Orlando’s storm cycles long enough to know which failures are material defects, which are installation errors, and which are just Florida doing what Florida does.
Grant Whitlock, our owner, learned roofing at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has put in nearly two decades of hands-on residential and commercial work. He and our crew have served the Orlando area for years, including Lake Nona neighborhoods where summer storms push standing water into places homeowners never think to check. We send every technician’s name and photo before the visit, and they badge in with photo ID at your door. Every repair includes a written guarantee for 365 days, and if the repair fails, the second visit is free.

Common Owens Corning Roofing Problems We Solve in Orlando
- UV-accelerated granule loss on older Oakridge roofs. Orlando’s subtropical sun is relentless. Oakridge shingles from the 2000s and early 2010s often have original protective granules worn thin, especially on south-facing slopes. Once granules go, the asphalt beneath oxidizes fast and the shingles become brittle. We see this constantly on older homes across Orlando’s established neighborhoods.
- Wind uplift at eaves and rakes on Duration shingles. Duration shingles installed with older nailing patterns that don’t meet post-2002 Florida Building Code requirements are vulnerable at the edges. During hurricane-season gusts, the tabs lift and wind-driven rain gets underneath. We inspect nailing patterns and sealant integrity before recommending repair versus replacement.
- Algae streaking on north-facing Duration slopes. Central Florida’s humidity and frequent rain feed Gloeocapsa magma growth. It’s most visible on lighter TruDefinition Duration Designer colors, where black streaks spread across north-facing roof sections that never fully dry. We use algae-safe cleaning methods that won’t strip granules.
- Sealant strip degradation from thermal cycling. Orlando’s afternoon thunderstorms hit a roof that’s been baking in 90-degree heat all morning. That rapid cooling cycle stresses shingle sealant strips. After a few years, tabs lift and stay lifted, which lets wind-driven rain intrude. This is a repair we handle frequently on Duration and Oakridge roofs alike.
- Pre-2002 eave leaks in older Orlando homes. Homes built before the 2002 Florida Building Code often lack the secondary water barrier now mandated. After a heavy storm, water wicks under the shingles at the eaves and soaks the deck. We replace entire eave sections when this happens. More on that below.
Owens Corning Service in Orlando: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s a checkable Orlando fact that shapes how Owens Corning roofing work plays out here, and it’s not equally true in Sanford or Clermont. In Conway and Pine Castle, many homes were built before the 2002 Florida Building Code took effect. That code mandated secondary water barriers under shingles at the eaves, which older homes simply don’t have. So after a heavy summer storm, you’ll see our crews replacing entire eave sections where water wicked under Owens Corning shingles and soaked the deck. Our tech recently replaced the eaves on a 1998 Oakridge roof in Conway after a summer storm. The original shingles had no secondary water barrier, and wind-driven rain had wicked under the starter course. We stripped the first three courses, installed new peel-and-stick underlayment and matching Oakridge shingles, and the homeowner’s insurance adjustment went through without issue. This failure pattern is far less frequent in newer Lake Nona subdivisions, where post-2002 code held. If your Orlando home predates 2002 and you’re seeing water stains near the eaves, that’s likely what’s happening. Call (850) 757-3564 and we’ll inspect it.
Owens Corning Models & Products We Service in Orlando
We work on the full Owens Corning residential lineup: Oakridge, Duration Series (including Duration FLEX and Duration STORM), TruDefinition Duration Designer, and Berkshire. For repairs, we install Owens Corning components from the same product families. When a color line is discontinued, like certain 2010 Oakridge shades, we source quality aftermarket or verified matching components. We stock common Owens Corning match colors and sealants locally, which means faster turnaround for Orlando repairs without waiting on a distributor shipment. If you need Owens Corning sales & service, we handle both repair and full replacement. See our Orlando service area for coverage details.

FAQs – Owens Corning Roofing in Orlando
It depends on how widespread the granule loss is and how much decking is exposed. If granule loss is localized to a few shingles or one slope, we can replace those sections. But if it’s across the whole roof, you’re looking at a replacement. Our rule is repair only when the roof has at least five years of remaining life and damage is contained. Otherwise a full replacement is cheaper over time, especially given Orlando’s insurance and wind-mitigation environment. Call (850) 757-3564 and we’ll tell you straight which way to go.
Duration Series shingles are rated for high-wind zones, including Duration STORM which is built specifically for hurricane-prone regions like Central Florida. But the shingle is only half the equation. The roof-to-wall connection, nailing pattern, and underlayment all have to meet current Florida Building Code for the system to hold. We inspect all of it, not just the shingle surface, and we pull permits when required.
Those streaks are Gloeocapsa magma, a cyanobacteria that thrives in Orlando’s humidity on north-facing slopes that stay damp. It doesn’t eat shingles, but it looks bad and can retain moisture. We remove it with a soft-wash approach that won’t strip granules the way pressure washing will. Never let anyone pressure-wash an Owens Corning roof, it voids the warranty and destroys the shingle surface.
In most cases, yes. We stock common Owens Corning match colors and have sourcing channels for verified aftermarket components when the exact OEM shade is gone. A color match won’t always be perfect on a 15-year-old roof that’s faded in the Florida sun, but we’ll get it close enough that the repair doesn’t stand out from the street. We’ll show you samples before we install.
It can, if the repair addresses wind-mitigation issues your insurer cares about, like sealed eaves, proper nailing patterns, and intact shingle tabs. Many Orlando insurers offer discounts for documented wind-mitigation improvements. We provide the paperwork your insurance company needs after the work is done. Call (850) 757-3564 for an inspection and a written price.
