Why Orlando Homeowners Choose CertainTeed Roofing
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing repair and installation as an Orlando roofing company, and what sets our work apart is that our crews know these specific products the way a mechanic knows a particular engine. That means when a Landmark shingle loses granules or a Flintlastic SA seam starts to fishmouth in the Florida heat, we already know the cause before the ladder goes up. We’re not authorized by CertainTeed, and we won’t pretend to be – we’re an independent service provider with years of hands-on experience across their product line, from the Landmark Series to Presidential Shake. Orlando homeowners call us because we name the real price before touching the roof, put the guarantee in writing, and answer the phone when it rings. You can reach us at (850) 303-7235.
Why Trust Tilehurst Roofing Orlando for Your CertainTeed Roofing?
CertainTeed roofing products show up all over Orlando, and over the years our techs have developed a working familiarity with exactly how each line behaves under Central Florida conditions. A Landmark shingle in Orlando is not the same animal as a Landmark shingle in Ohio. The UV load, the afternoon downpours, the June-to-November wind cycles – all of it changes how the material ages, where it fails first, and what a lasting fix actually requires.
Greg Holloway, our owner, walked roofs for decades before bringing that same steady approach to Orlando, and he insists on one rule: the technician on your roof knows the product, not just the trade. When we repair a CertainTeed roof, we source factory-equivalent components – Landmark ridge caps, DiamondDeck underlayment, Flintlastic SA membrane – so the patch matches the system, not just the color. That matters for wind ratings, for warranty positions, and for a repair that doesn’t fail again in six months. We’re a Kingswell family company, founded in 2000, and every repair leaves with a written guarantee in your hand. If it fails inside the guarantee period, we come back at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. No fine print, no phone tag.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Fix in Orlando
CertainTeed makes a broad product range, and each line has its own weak points when it meets Orlando’s climate. Here are the failure modes we see most often:
- Granule loss and blistering on Landmark Series shingles. The Landmark, Landmark Pro, and Landmark Premium lines are solid asphalt shingles, but Orlando’s ultraviolet exposure is unrelenting. After a decade or so, the granule layer starts to shed, and the asphalt beneath oxidizes. Blisters form when trapped moisture under the shingle surface vaporizes in the heat. We address this by assessing how much of the shingle’s service life remains – if the roof is under 60% through its life and the decking is sound, we replace affected courses. If granule loss is widespread, we’ll tell you honestly that replacement is the better money.
- Nail pops and wind uplift on Presidential Shake. Presidential Shake is a heavy, layered shingle designed to mimic wood shake, but the common bond area – where the shingle layers fasten – is where Orlando’s wind finds its opening. Nail pops from thermal expansion, then the uplift starts, and a corner of the shingle lifts just enough for wind-driven rain to get underneath. We re-nail to the manufacturer’s nail-zone spec and replace any shingle that’s torn or creased at the bond point. Hurricane-season wind is unforgiving with these.
- Adhesive bleed-out and seam fishmouthing on Flintlastic SA. Flintlastic SA is a self-adhered modified bitumen membrane used a lot on Orlando’s low-slope and flat roof sections. The problem in this climate is heat – the adhesive softens, oozes at the seams, and the seam edges curl upward, which roofers call fishmouthing. This is a direct result of Orlando’s high-heat days baking a membrane that’s already under tension. We clean the seam, re-adhere with compatible mastic, and when needed, torch or cold-process a new Flintlastic SA patch over the affected area.
- Flashing failures at valleys on Grand Manor. Grand Manor is a premium, thick-profile shingle, and when it was installed by a crew that rushed the valley flashing, the leak shows up years later at the worst possible time – during a summer downpour. Open or improperly lapped valley metal lets water run under the shingle instead of down the valley. We pull the affected Grand Manor shingles, correct the flashing, and reset the shingles with matching pieces so the repair is invisible from the ground.
- Clogged or failing deck intake and ventilation issues. This isn’t a shingle problem per se, but we see it constantly on CertainTeed systems in Orlando. When ridge vent or soffit intake is insufficient, attic heat loads spike, shingles cook from underneath, and the CertainTeed warranty can be moot because improper ventilation isn’t a manufacturing defect. We correct the ventilation first, then address the shingle damage. Fixing shingles without fixing airflow in Orlando is like patching a tire with the nail still in it.
CertainTeed Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
CertainTeed designs its roofing systems to work together – the shingle, the underlayment, the ridge cap, the starter course. So when we repair a CertainTeed roof, we don’t just match the shingle. We use OEM shingles for patch work to preserve the wind rating, and factory-equivalent components for the rest: Landmark ridge caps, DiamondDeck synthetic underlayment, Flintlastic SA membrane. Aftermarket parts that don’t match the system’s original spec can compromise a wind warranty, and we won’t do that to save a few dollars on a repair that’s supposed to last.
The repair-versus-replace question is one we answer honestly, and the math is simple. If the roof is past 70% of its service life, or if the decking underneath is saturated, we’ll recommend full replacement rather than piecemeal repair. We’ve told Orlando homeowners to stop repairing their roofs before – because at a certain point, chasing leaks on a spent roof is throwing money into a storm drain. A written line-item quote is in your hands before any decision gets made. Call (850) 303-7235 for a free estimate on your CertainTeed roof.
Our CertainTeed Service Process – Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis. Greg Holloway or a senior tech walks the roof personally. We look for the specific failure modes we described above – granule loss patterns, bond-point lifting, seam fishmouthing – and we photograph what we find. You see the evidence, not just a name and a price.
- 2
Repair or install. We use CertainTeed OEM shingles and factory-equivalent components matched to your system. Every patch is sealed to spec, with attention to the nailing zone and the sealant strip. For flat sections, we clean and re-seal Flintlastic SA seams properly before any overlay.
- 3
Test. After any leak repair, we run a targeted water test on the area. Not a guess – a controlled test. If it holds, we move on. If it doesn’t, we find out before we’re gone. Flat roof patches get a similar check at the seam transitions.
- 4
Warranty. Before the crew leaves, you get a written guarantee on the repair. That’s a Kingswell family standard – not a promise made over the phone, but paper in your hand with the scope of work, the date, and the coverage terms. If it fails inside the guarantee period, we return at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

We service and install the CertainTeed lines Orlando homeowners actually have through our Orlando Certainteed service: the full Landmark Series, including Landmark, Landmark Pro, and Landmark Premium; Presidential Shake for heavier architectural profiles; Grand Manor for premium thick-profile looks; and Flintlastic SA for low-slope and flat sections, which are common on Orlando’s mid-century and patio roofs. We stock Landmark ridge caps and DiamondDeck underlayment locally for fast turnaround on repairs, and we order Flintlastic SA and Grand Manor materials as needed to keep the product fresh, not sitting in a warehouse through a Florida summer.

CertainTeed is one strong option, but it’s not the only one on Orlando roofs. We also service and install GAF and Owens Corning systems, plus four additional major lines from our full manufacturer lineup. If your roof is GAF or Owens Corning and you’re weighing a switch to CertainTeed, we can lay out the real trade-offs – honestly, without a sales pitch.
FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing Service in Orlando
Yes, you can get an exact match. We source current-production Landmark shingles in your specific colorway, and for roofs that have weathered several Florida summers, we’ll tell you upfront whether the new patch will be visually distinguishable. Sun fading is real, especially on darker colors in Orlando. If the color difference would bother you, we’ll say so before any work starts, not after. Call (850) 303-7235 and we’ll check your shingle color against current production.
Granule loss on Landmark shingles in Central Florida is almost always accelerated oxidation from sustained UV exposure, and our Deltona Certainteed service handles the same sun-related issues. Orlando’s sun loads heat into the asphalt layer, which breaks down the bond between granules and the asphalt mat. Some granule loss is normal for any asphalt shingle as it ages. Whether it’s covered depends on the CertainTeed warranty terms and the age of the roof, and that’s a question we can help you document with photos and a written assessment. We don’t process claims, but we give you the evidence a claim requires.
We re-nail the lifted shingles to CertainTeed’s nail-zone specification, then reseal the bond area. If a shingle is torn or creased at the bond point, we replace it with a matching Presidential Shake piece rather than trying to glue down a damaged shingle that will lift again in the next storm. Orlando’s thunderstorm winds are enough to exploit any weak bond point, so the fix has to be structural, not cosmetic.
Fishmouthing happens when the adhesive on Flintlastic SA softens in sustained high heat, and the seam edges curl upward under tension. Orlando’s summer days regularly push surface temperatures well past the point where this becomes likely, especially on unshaded roof sections. We clean the affected seam with a compatible solvent, re-adhere it with mastic, and if the fishmouthing is extensive, we overlay the seam with a fresh Flintlastic SA patch. For ongoing protection, we’ll also check whether attic ventilation can be improved to reduce surface heat. Estimates are free – call (850) 303-7235.
Expect us to remove the Grand Manor shingles along the valley, examine the existing flashing, and correct what was done wrong originally – usually an improper lap or an open seam. Then we reset the shingles with matching pieces, seal the valley properly, and water-test the repair. Grand Manor is a thick-profile shingle, and valley work on it takes patience; rush it and the leak returns. We’d rather take the extra hour and do it right the first time.
CertainTeed repairs in Orlando typically run between $350 and $950 for most shingle or flashing fixes, depending on the scope and the product line. A full Landmark Series replacement on an average Orlando home generally falls in the $9,000 to $16,000 range, while Grand Manor and Presidential Shake run higher. The only way to get an exact number is for us to walk the roof, which we’ll do for free. Call (850) 303-7235 and we’ll give you a written line-item quote before any work starts.
No, we are not authorized by CertainTeed, and we won’t imply otherwise. We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider with deep hands-on experience across their product line. Some Orlando homeowners ask whether that matters. Here’s our answer: our work is backed by the Kingswell written guarantee, not by a manufacturer’s authorization badge. You get the same exact-match parts and warranty-safe practices, plus a repair guarantee from the company that actually stands on your roof.
