CertainTeed Roofing in Orlando, FL | Mercer Roofing Co Orlando
CertainTeed roofing service in Orlando means working with a crew that has installed and repaired hundreds of these roofs across the city, from starter homes in Azalea Park to custom builds in Winter Park. Mercer Roofing Co Orlando is our Roofing Company in Orlando and an independent CertainTeed service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, so we answer to you, not a corporate quota. If your CertainTeed shingles are losing granules, lifting at the eaves, or leaking after an afternoon storm, call (850) 757-3564 and we’ll put a written price in your hand before any work starts.
Why Orlando Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes a lot of different shingle lines, but the way they fail in Florida follows patterns we’ve seen for years. Grant Whitlock, owner of Mercer Roofing Co Orlando, learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent nearly two decades on residential and commercial roofs. Around Orlando, including the neighborhoods near Lake Nona, he’s watched summer storms push standing water into places homeowners never think to check. That hands-on familiarity with Florida’s specific weather means we don’t guess at what’s wrong on a CertainTeed roof.
We stock common CertainTeed accessories locally for faster turnaround, and when a color or product line isn’t on the shelf, we know the local suppliers who can get it quickly. Every visit includes a written guarantee on the repair, and every technician who knocks on your door shows a photo ID badge. Their name and photo arrive before they do.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Orlando
- Granule loss on Landmark shingles. Orlando’s intense UV exposure breaks down the asphalt layer faster than cooler climates. You’ll see granules in the gutters and a patchy, washed-out look on the shingle surface. This accelerates aging and, over time, exposes the mat underneath.
- Heat-induced sealant failure. Summer temperatures soften the adhesive strip on CertainTeed shingles. When an afternoon thunderstorm rolls through with wind, shingles that lost their seal lift and blow off, especially at gable ends and eaves. We see this most on roofs that face direct afternoon sun.
- Wind uplift on pre-2002 nail patterns. Older Orlando homes often have CertainTeed roofs installed before the Florida Building Code tightened fastening requirements. The nail count and placement don’t hold under tropical storm winds, and shingles peel back at the edges.
- Algae staining on north-facing slopes. Gloeocapsa magma thrives in Orlando’s humidity. Shaded slopes rarely dry out completely, so black streaks spread. It’s cosmetic unless the growth has been there for years and trapped moisture against the shingle surface.
- Leaks at eaves after heavy rain. When a CertainTeed roof lacks a secondary water barrier, wind-driven rain gets under the first course and soaks the decking. We fixed exactly this in Conway, where a homeowner called about a wet garage ceiling after a summer storm.
CertainTeed Service in Orlando: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
In pre-2002 Orlando neighborhoods like Conway and Pine Castle, many CertainTeed roofs lack the secondary water barrier now required by the Florida Building Code. After heavy rain, we routinely find water damage at eaves that would have been prevented on newer Lake Nona homes. Here’s what that looks like on the ground: after a summer thunderstorm, our tech arrived at a home in Conway where the owner reported a wet ceiling in the garage. We found the Landmark shingles had lost their sealant bond from heat, allowing wind-driven rain to get under the first course at the eave. Because there was no secondary water barrier, the decking was saturated. We replaced two sheets of plywood, installed Ice & Water Shield at the eaves, and reset the shingles with proper nails and sealant. No leak since.
This failure pattern is Orlando-specific. In a drier city, a lifted shingle might just look bad. Here, with our rainfall and humidity, it feeds water straight into the roof deck. Homes built after the 2002 Florida Building Code don’t have this vulnerability because the secondary barrier catches what gets past the shingles. If your CertainTeed roof is in an older Orlando neighborhood, that’s a distinction worth knowing before you call anyone.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Orlando
We work on the full CertainTeed residential line: Landmark architectural shingles, Landmark Pro, Presidential Shake TL luxury shingles, and NorthGate SBS-modified shingles. For active product lines, we install genuine CertainTeed shingles and accessories so the material warranty stays intact. For older or discontinued CertainTeed colors, we use quality aftermarket flashing, sealants, and underlayments that meet or exceed Florida Building Code. We’ll tell you straight whether a patch will blend or whether you’re better off replacing the slope.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Orlando
Yes, CertainTeed Landmark shingles installed with the proper nail pattern and a secondary water barrier meet Florida’s wind mitigation requirements. Whether your specific roof qualifies for an insurance discount depends on the installation date, nail count, and roof-to-wall connections. Call (850) 757-3564 and we’ll help you figure out what your roof actually qualifies for.
Heat breaks the sealant bond over time, and once that bond fails, wind can peel the shingle even when the shingle itself still has years of life. Orlando’s combination of high summer heat and afternoon storm winds makes this the most common CertainTeed failure we see. The fix is usually a targeted repair with proper sealant and nails, but if it’s happening across multiple slopes, a partial replacement is the smarter spend.
For current CertainTeed colors, we can usually get a close match from local Orlando suppliers. For shingles that have been on the roof for years, UV fading means a new bundle won’t match perfectly. We’ll show you the closest available option before you commit to the patch, so you’re not surprised by the color difference later.
No, algae staining on its own is cosmetic and doesn’t shorten the life of the shingle unless it’s been untreated for years and trapped moisture. A cleaning that’s approved by CertainTeed usually resolves it. We’ll inspect first and tell you if there’s any actual damage hiding under the stains.
Homes built before the 2002 code were not required to have a secondary water barrier, so a repair on those roofs often means adding protection that wasn’t originally there. We routinely install Ice & Water Shield at the eaves when we repair older CertainTeed roofs in Conway and Pine Castle, because the original construction lets wind-driven rain reach the decking. Call (850) 757-3564 and we’ll tell you what your roof specifically needs, and what it’ll cost, before anything gets opened up.
