We’ve installed and repaired Owens Corning Duration® Series, Oakridge®, and Supreme® shingles for over a decade, and we know exactly how South Florida’s salt air, UV exposure, and wind drive specific failures that you won’t read about on the manufacturer’s generic product page. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Owens Corning, which means we’re free to tell you straight when a repair will hold and when a reroof is the only honest answer.

• You get a written price before any work starts. The number on day one is the number on the invoice.

Why Trust Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale for Your Owens Corning Construction?

Owens Corning shingles are engineered products with specific installation requirements, and Fort Lauderdale’s building code layers additional rules on top of the manufacturer’s instructions. Our lead on Owens Corning work is Trevor Nash, who grew up in Los Angeles and learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending nearly two decades running crews across South Florida. He’s handled everything from full Owens Corning in Hollywood roof replacements near Las Olas Boulevard to section repairs on 1960s ranch homes in Victoria Park where the original decking has seen better days. When you call us about an Owens Corning roof, you’re talking to a team that knows the six-nail pattern requirement for high-velocity hurricane zones, understands why Duration® shingles perform differently on low-slope sections than on the main field, and will explain the difference between a nail-pop and a wind-uplift tear in plain English. We arrive in uniform, background-checked, and with a written scope and a real number before we pick up a hammer.

Common Owens Corning Construction Problems We Fix in Fort Lauderdale

Owens Corning makes solid products, but no shingle or insulation board is immune to what Fort Lauderdale throws at it. Here are the failures we see most often, and why they happen here specifically:

• Duration® Series granule loss near roof edges and valleys. The stone granules on Duration® shingles give them their UV protection and color. After repeated salt-spray and UV cycles, we see premature bald spots along eaves and valley lines where water sheets off the roof. Once the granules go, the asphalt mat underneath degrades fast, and leaks follow. This isn’t a manufacturing defect, it’s a climate reality, and catching it early with a section repair beats a $12,000 reroof a year later.
• Oakridge® nail-pop tears and wind uplift at the rake edge. Oakridge® shingles are a mid-tier architectural line that hold up well when installed correctly, but Fort Lauderdale’s high-velocity hurricane zone demands a six-nail pattern. When an original installer used four nails, or skipped the starter strip, the rake edge becomes a weak point. Wind gets under the shingle, pops the nail, and tears the shingle loose. We see this on the north and east rakes of Fort Lauderdale homes after nearly every summer squall.
• FOAMULAR® XPS insulation retaining moisture behind stucco or tile. FOAMULAR® rigid foam is a good product for the right application, but in Fort Lauderdale’s humidity, it can trap moisture behind bathroom or kitchen walls when installed without proper drainage and vapor management. That trapped moisture leads to hidden mold growth and tile debonding, the adhesive lets go and the tile starts popping off. The fix usually isn’t more insulation; it’s removing the affected section, addressing the moisture path, and reinstalling correctly.
• Supreme® 3-tab shingle cracking along the sealant strip. Supreme® is Owens Corning’s entry-level 3-tab line, and in Fort Lauderdale’s intense summer heat, the sealant strip that bonds the tabs together can become brittle. Add thermal shock from a daily 3 PM thunderstorm hitting a 140-degree roof surface, and the shingles crack along the seal line. Once cracked, they lift in the next wind event. This is the most common repair we do on budget-built homes from the 1980s and 1990s.
• Improper underlayment causing deck rot under otherwise healthy Owens Corning shingles. The shingles might look fine from the curb, but the underlayment beneath them is what actually keeps water out of the deck. In Fort Lauderdale’s flat, low-lying neighborhoods with older Dade County pine framing, a failed or missing underlayment means rotted plywood deck sections. We find this during reroofs on homes throughout Fort Lauderdale, and it’s why we always inspect the deck before quoting a shingle replacement.

Owens Corning Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach

When we repair an Owens Corning roof in Fort Lauderdale, we use genuine Owens Corning components for shingles, ridge caps, and underlayment replacements where the wind-rating integrity of the system depends on it. Mixing aftermarket shingles onto a Duration® or Oakridge® slope can void the manufacturer’s wind warranty and, more practically, the color match and sealant compatibility are never quite right. That said, we’re not dogmatic. When a peel-and-stick underlayment or synthetic ice-and-water barrier from a quality aftermarket brand outperforms what Owens Corning specs for our salt-air, high-humidity conditions, we’ll use it and tell you why. The decision comes down to what protects the deck best. If a roof has multiple failed slopes, granule loss across the field, or deck rot, we’ll show you the per-square-foot math on repairing versus reroofing. A $900 patch on a roof with three more failing slopes is a poor investment, and we’ll tell you that straight. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll inspect before we quote.

Our Owens Corning Service Process – Step by Step

1. 1
   Diagnosis. We start with a roof inspection that checks shingle condition, nail pattern, underlayment, deck integrity, and flashing. For Owens Corning roofs specifically, we look for granule loss distribution, sealant strip condition, and any signs of wind uplift along rakes and ridge lines. We document everything with photos and give you a written finding.
2. 2
   Written quote and repair or replace recommendation. Before any work starts, you get a written price. If it’s a repair, the quote covers specific slopes, shingle counts, and materials. If it’s a replacement, the quote itemizes underlayment, shingle line, decking replacement allowance, and disposal. The number you sign is the number you pay, period.
3. 3
   Repair or installation. For repairs, we remove damaged Owens Corning shingles, inspect the deck, replace any rotted plywood, install the appropriate underlayment, and re-shingle using the correct nail pattern for Fort Lauderdale’s wind zone. For full replacements, we strip to the deck, inspect everything, and build the system back as a complete assembly, not just a shingle swap.
4. 4
   Testing and inspection. After every Owens Corning job, we run a water test on repaired sections and walk the full roof to verify nail patterns, sealant engagement, and flashing. We don’t leave until the roof would hold up to the next Fort Lauderdale afternoon thunderstorm.
5. 5
   Written workmanship warranty. Every project gets our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails inside that year, we return and fix it at no charge, no service call fee, no re-inspection fee. That’s the Kingswell standard, and it’s been the way we operate under The Kingswell Way since 2004.

We work across the Owens Corning roofing and insulation lines most common on Fort Lauderdale homes.
