CertainTeed Roof Replacement in Orlando: What to Know First
CertainTeed roof replacement in Orlando typically runs $9,800 to $18,500 for a standard single-family home, with most architectural shingle jobs landing between $11,000 and $14,000. We complete most full replacements in 2 to 4 days depending on decking condition and roof complexity. As an independent CertainTeed service provider, Tilehurst Roofing Orlando gives you a written price before any work starts, so you know the real number before you commit.
This page is for Orlando homeowners whose CertainTeed roof has reached the end of its useful life, or whose shingles have failed early and need answers. If you’re deciding between repair and replacement, or you’ve already got a quote that seems off, call (850) 303-7235 and we’ll walk the roof ourselves before we quote a number.
How CertainTeed Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
- Landmark shingle granule loss and blistering. CertainTeed Landmark is the most common architectural shingle we see across Orlando. In hot, humid Central Florida summers, we regularly see premature granule loss on south-facing roof slopes where attic ventilation was never upgraded. The shingle surface literally cooks, the granules release, and the asphalt underneath starts to oxidize. The fix is a full replacement with proper intake and exhaust ventilation added, not just new shingles over the same hot deck.
- Presidential Shake cupping and curling at the rake edges. CertainTeed Presidential Shake is a heavy, premium look, but Orlando’s afternoon thunderstorms and high UV load can cause edge cupping on older installs where the nails were driven too high or too deep. Once the edges curl, wind-driven rain gets under the shingle and starts working the underlayment. We replace the affected slopes and set the new shingles with proper nail placement per CertainTeed’s published specs.
- Northgate and XT 25 organic mat saturation. CertainTeed’s older organic-mat shingles, like the long-discontinued XT 25 and newer Northgate lines, absorb moisture over time in Florida’s rainy season. The mat swells, the shingle loses its shape, and you get a wavy, uneven roof surface that traps water. Repair isn’t practical; these roofs need full tear-off and replacement with a modern fiberglass-mat shingle like Landmark or Landmark Pro.
- DiamondDeck and roof decking rot under failed shingles. When CertainTeed shingles fail early, the damage often goes deeper. We’ve opened up roofs in College Park and Winter Park where rotted decking had been hidden under bubbled shingles for years. CertainTeed’s DiamondDeck is the brand’s own radiant-barrier decking, and replacing it correctly requires matching thickness and ventilation so the new shingle warranty stays valid.
- Flashing failures at valleys and sidewalls on CertainTeed installations. A roof replacement isn’t just shingles. On certain CertainTeed installs we see, the shingles are fine but the step flashing and valley metal were either bent wrong or never replaced. Water follows the flashing line, not the shingle surface. When we replace a CertainTeed roof, every piece of flashing gets pulled and replaced, not just inspected and covered over.
Styles & brands we work with
Our CertainTeed Roof Replacement Process
Every CertainTeed replacement in Orlando follows the same steps, and you’ll know the price before the first shingle comes off.
- 1
Walk the roof with you. Greg Holloway or a lead tech walks the entire roof, photographs what we find, and points out exactly where the shingles have failed and why. You hear the real condition in plain terms before any numbers.
- 2
Written line-item estimate. We write down every cost: tear-off, decking replacement, underlayment, drip edge, ridge cap, flashing, new CertainTeed shingles, vents, and cleanup. The number you see is the number you pay. No change orders unless you ask for something extra.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM CertainTeed always, aftermarket only where it makes sense. For a CertainTeed replacement, you want CertainTeed shingles. The manufacturer’s warranty only covers the system when the primary components are CertainTeed products. We do the same with accessories: CertainTeed’s own WinterGuard underlayment and SwiftStart starter strip go on every CertainTeed job. For components like some pipe boots or valley metal where the brand doesn’t matter to the warranty, we use quality aftermarket parts and tell you we’re doing it.
- 4
Tear-off and decking inspection. We pull the old shingles and underlayment down to the deck, then inspect every sheet of plywood or OSB. Rotted or delaminated sections get replaced with matching thickness. We don’t nail new shingles over bad wood, ever.
- 5
New CertainTeed system install. Underlayment, drip edge, starter strip, field shingles, ridge cap, and all flashing go in per CertainTeed’s published installation specs. That matters because Orlando’s wind and rain will test the edges first.
- 6
Cleanup, inspection, and written guarantee. We magnetic-sweep the yard for nails, blow off the roof, and walk the finished job with you. Your written guarantee is in your hand before the crew leaves, not mailed later. If anything fails inside the guarantee period, the crew returns at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

AfterWhat CertainTeed Roof Replacement Costs in Orlando
Most CertainTeed roof replacements we quote in Orlando fall into these ranges, based on shingle line and home size:
| CertainTeed Product | Typical Orlando Price Range |
|---|---|
| Landmark (standard architectural) | $10,500 – $14,000 |
| Landmark Pro (heavier architectural) | $12,000 – $15,500 |
| Landmark TL (thicker, simulated shake) | $14,000 – $18,000 |
| Presidential Shake | $17,000 – $24,000 |
| Full decking replacement (add-on) | $2,500 – $5,500 |
The price moves based on roof complexity, slope, decking condition, and how many layers of old shingles need to come off. A two-story roof with steeper pitches costs more to work safely. Every estimate is free, and the number we give you is the number you pay. Call (850) 303-7235 for a written quote.
Why Orlando Homeowners Call Tilehurst Roofing Orlando for CertainTeed Work
Tilehurst Roofing Orlando is a Kingswell family company, founded in 2000 and built on the idea that a roofing company should say the price before the work, show up in the window it gave, leave the place cleaner than it found it, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails. That’s the Kingswell Way, and it’s how we’ve been running CertainTeed replacements in Orlando for years.
Greg Holloway walks every roof himself before quoting. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they know CertainTeed’s product lines cold. And if CertainTeed isn’t the right fit for your home or budget, we carry six other major manufacturers including GAF and Owens Corning, so the shingle matches the house, not whatever happens to be in the truck. We tell you the price before we touch the roof – and we mean it.
FAQs
Yes, in some cases. CertainTeed’s warranty covers the shingles, but it won’t pay for a full replacement if the shingles were installed against the published specs, or if the decking and underlayment weren’t part of a proper system. As an independent CertainTeed service provider, we install to the manufacturer’s specs so your warranty stays intact, and we keep documentation of every step if you need to file a claim. Call (850) 303-7235 and we’ll explain what your specific warranty covers.
Most CertainTeed roof replacements in Orlando take 2 to 4 days. A simple single-story home with no decking surprises can be done in two working days. A two-story roof with rotted decking and steep sections takes longer. We’ll give you a schedule when we give you the written price, and we stick to the window we quote.
We can match the shingle line, but if the existing CertainTeed shingles are more than a few years old, the new shingles won’t be a perfect color match. Sun, rain, and time change the color of any shingle. We’ll show you the closest current CertainTeed color and let you decide before we order. If the damage is widespread enough, full replacement is usually the better money.
If granule loss covers more than 30% of the roof surface, or if the shingles are curling, cupping, or lifting at the edges, you’re looking at replacement not repair. If the damage is limited to one or two shingles or a single flashing point, repair is likely the right call. We’ll tell you which one makes sense after we walk the roof. Estimates are free, and so is the honesty.
