CertainTeed Roofing in Kissimmee, FL | Tilehurst Roofing Orlando
As our Roofing Company in Kissimmee, we provide independent CertainTeed roofing service, and the one thing that makes our CertainTeed work here different is this: we’re not a manufacturer dealer chasing warranty quotas. We’re a local crew that walks Kissimmee roofs every week and tells you the truth about how CertainTeed shingles actually hold up under Central Florida sun and storms. Call (850) 303-7235 for a free estimate and a written price before any work starts.
Why Kissimmee Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed has been on American roofs since 1904, and we’ve worked on enough of their shingle lines to know exactly where they succeed and where they fail. Greg Holloway, our owner, learned roofing in Los Angeles and has spent years across Orlando neighborhoods including work near the Milk District, where older bungalows and flat roofs keep you honest. That same steady approach applies when we pull up to a Kissimmee home with failing XT 25 tabs or a Landmark roof with wind-lifted shingles.
We are an independent CertainTeed service provider, not a certified applicator or a CertainTeed sales & service arm of the manufacturer. That independence matters. When we recommend a repair, it’s because a repair makes sense. When we tell you it’s time for a replacement, it’s because we’ve seen that same roof fail on too many Kissimmee streets to pretend otherwise.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Kissimmee
Here’s what we see most often on CertainTeed roofs in Kissimmee, and what’s causing it:
- UV-brittle XT 25 shingles cracking under foot. The original 3-tab CertainTeed XT 25 shingles from the 1980s and 90s are now so sun-baked in Kissimmee’s Poinciana neighborhood that a light step can snap tabs clean off. We see this on San Miguel Road and Marigold Avenue regularly, and it turns what should be a simple leak inspection into a full replacement conversation.
- Adhesive seal failure on Landmark architectural shingles. Wind-driven rain from afternoon thunderstorms gets under tabs where the factory adhesive strip has given up after years of heat cycling. Water then tracks in at eaves and rakes, and the leak shows up inside long after the storm passed.
- Thermal splitting at ridge caps and hips. Dark Landmark shingles on Kissimmee’s west-facing roof slopes absorb afternoon heat, then cool fast when a storm rolls through. That repeated expansion and contraction cracks shingles at the ridge line, and those cracks are where water finds a path in.
- Algae streaking in shaded valleys and north-facing planes. Kissimmee’s humidity plus shade equals algae. It’s not just cosmetic; trapped moisture in algae-streaked valleys can accelerate granule loss and shorten the roof’s life.
- Valley metal pulling loose at nails. We’ve pulled up valley flashing on older Kissimmee CertainTeed roofs and found the nails backed out from years of thermal movement. Loose valley metal channels water under the shingles instead of over them.
CertainTeed Service in Kissimmee: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s a fact that shapes CertainTeed roofing work in Kissimmee more than anywhere else nearby: the city’s 1980s planned communities, especially Poinciana, are full of original CertainTeed XT 25 3-tab shingles that are now past their 20-year lifespan. The UV here doesn’t fade them; it bakes them brittle. Last July, our crew was called to a home on Marigold Avenue in Poinciana after a thunderstorm left water staining the ceiling. Walking the roof, our tech could see the CertainTeed XT 25 shingles were so sun-baked that a light step snapped two tabs clean off; the valley metal had also pulled loose at the nails. We replaced the entire roof with CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles and new flashing, and the homeowner hasn’t seen a leak since. This same pattern is absent in nearby St. Cloud, where tile and metal roofs are more common. If you live in an older Kissimmee neighborhood with original 3-tabs, a free roof inspection from us usually answers the repair-versus-replace question in one visit.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Kissimmee
We service the full range of CertainTeed roofing products found on Kissimmee homes, including CertainTeed XT 25 3-tab shingles, CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles, CertainTeed Presidential Shake, and CertainTeed Grand Manor.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Kissimmee
In Kissimmee, original CertainTeed XT 25 3-tab shingles typically fail between 15 and 20 years, even though they were designed for longer. Intense UV exposure accelerates granule loss, and once the asphalt beneath the granules is exposed, brittleness follows fast. If your Kissimmee home still has original XT 25 shingles from the 1990s or earlier, call (850) 303-7235 for a free inspection and an honest answer about remaining life.
Yes, newer CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles are rated for high winds and handle Kissimmee’s storm pattern well when installed correctly with proper starter strips and nail placement. The failures we see are on older Landmark roofs where the adhesive seal has degraded. If tabs are lifting after storms, don’t wait; call (850) 303-7235 and we’ll assess whether a repair or replacement is the right call.
In Poinciana specifically, a leak on an original CertainTeed XT 25 roof is usually a sign the deck is done. Once those shingles are brittle enough to crack under a roofer’s weight, patching one leak just moves the problem to another spot. We’ve walked dozens of these roofs and the honest recommendation is usually replacement. Call (850) 303-7235 for a free inspection – we’ll show you what we find and give you a written price either way.
Dark shingles absorb more afternoon heat, and Kissimmee’s west-facing roof slopes get the full force of it before afternoon thunderstorms cool things down suddenly. That thermal shock creates expansion and contraction cycles that crack shingles where they’re bent over the ridge or hip. It’s a pattern we see most often on black and dark brown Landmark roofs.
We can often match older CertainTeed colors, but it depends on whether the production run is still active. For current Landmark colors, we stock common options locally in the Kissimmee area. For discontinued XT 25 colors, we source the closest compatible architectural shingle and show you a side-by-side before we install. Call (850) 303-7235 and we’ll bring color samples to your door.
