CertainTeed Construction in Orlando, FL

CertainTeed Construction in Orlando, FL | Penhallow Remodeling Orlando

We provide independent CertainTeed roofing and siding service across Orlando, and here’s the thing that separates our work from a parts-changing outfit: we know exactly how CertainTeed materials fail in Central Florida’s specific climate. Landmark shingles losing granules on south-facing slopes. Cedar Impressions panels buckling on west walls. Presidential Shake tabs lifting during tropical-storm-force gusts. We understand these failure modes because we work on Orlando’s tract-home stock every week, and we’ll give you a straight answer on whether to patch, replace, or upgrade. Call (850) 427-6454 for a free estimate.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Orlando

Here’s what we see most often on Central Florida homes:

– Landmark shingle granule loss on south-facing slopes. Orlando’s intense UV exposure plus afternoon thunderstorms wears granules off within 8 to 12 years, leaving bare fiberglass that accelerates deterioration. The south side of your roof always goes first.
– Presidential Shake tabs lifting during storm gusts. Older College Park homes frequently have too few nails per shingle because original installers cut corners. When tropical-storm-force winds hit, those tabs tear or lift. We re-secure with the correct nail count to meet current Florida wind codes.
– Cedar Impressions siding warping on west-facing walls. Orlando’s summer heat gain is brutal on west exposures, and panels buckle when installers set expansion gaps too tight. We remove warped panels and reinstall with proper clearance so the material can move.
– Water staining and mold at siding penetrations. Outdoor outlets, hose bibs, and exterior lights where builder-grade flashing failed. Orlando’s humidity keeps the sheathing damp for months, which is why we use mold-resistant materials on every repair.
– Windborne debris damage after hurricanes. Trees, pool-screen frames, and patio furniture thrown onto shingles during storms that cross the state. This isn’t coastal Florida, but inland Orlando gets hit hard when hurricanes pass through.

CertainTeed Service in Orlando: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Here’s the local reality most people don’t think about until a tree branch is on their roof: Orlando is inland, so homeowners here don’t carry the same storm-prep mindset as beachside residents in Daytona or Melbourne. But hurricanes that cross the state still bring windborne debris. Our CertainTeed emergency calls after a storm often involve trees and pool-screen frames thrown onto shingles in neighborhoods like Conway or Baldwin Park, not just lifted shingle tabs. That’s why we stock a range of CertainTeed materials locally and maintain relationships with regional suppliers who can get us what we need for fast Orlando turnaround. When a storm passes through, we’re not waiting on freight from out of state.

CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Orlando

We service Landmark shingles, Presidential Shake shingles, Cedar Impressions siding, and Board & Batten siding. For warranty-eligible and out-of-warranty work where the original material is still in production, we use genuine CertainTeed replacement shingles and siding. For discontinued lines or small patch jobs, we match with high-grade aftermarket products that meet Florida wind and UV standards. This OEM-vs-aftermarket approach means we never pretend a mismatched patch is invisible, and we never oversell a full replacement when a targeted repair makes sense. Our CertainTeed depth comes from weekly exposure to these materials across our Orlando service area, not from a sales manual.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Orlando

How many nails per shingle does CertainTeed require for wind coverage in Orlando, and what’s the typical mistake you see?

CertainTeed’s high-wind installation requirements call for six nails per shingle. The typical mistake we see on older Orlando homes is four nails per shingle, which leaves tabs vulnerable to lifting during tropical-storm-force gusts. That’s what we found on a 1980s concrete-block home in College Park where the original Landmark roof had lost most of its granules and two shingles peeled back near the ridge during a passing summer storm. We stripped back to the deck, found rotted plywood at the chimney cricket, replaced the sheathing with mold-resistant plywood, and installed new Landmark shingles with six nails per shingle to meet current wind codes. We also added peel-and-stick underlayment at the eaves and valleys to handle Orlando’s afternoon downpours. Call (850) 427-6454 to have your nail count checked for free.

Can you match a small patch on a Presidential Shake roof, or do I need a full replacement?

Yes, we can match a small patch on a Presidential Shake roof when the surrounding shingles are in good condition and the material is still in production. We use genuine CertainTeed replacement shingles and blend them with the existing roof. But if your Presidential Shake roof is over 15 years old with multiple lifted tabs and widespread granule loss, a patch will fail again. We’ll give you an honest assessment either way.

Will a CertainTeed Landmark roof survive Orlando’s summer hail and hurricane wind-borne debris?

Landmark shingles are rated for Florida’s wind and impact conditions when installed to CertainTeed’s high-wind specifications, including six nails per shingle and proper underlayment. But no shingle survives a direct hit from a pool-screen frame or a large tree branch. What matters is how the roof holds up to what comes before and after: sustained wind, wind-driven rain, and UV exposure. Our Orlando crew was on a College Park home where a passing summer storm peeled back two shingles. We found the original installer had cut corners on nails. The replacement roof got six nails per shingle and peel-and-stick underlayment at the eaves. That roof now handles afternoon downpours without issue. Call (850) 427-6454 for an exact quote on your CertainTeed roof.

Can you repair Cedar Impressions siding that has warped on the west side of the house?

Yes. Cedar Impressions panels warp and buckle on west-facing walls when Orlando’s summer heat gain is highest and installers set expansion gaps too tight. We remove the warped panels, inspect the sheathing behind them for moisture damage, and reinstall with proper clearance so the material can expand without buckling. If the damage is limited to a few panels, that’s a straightforward repair. If the whole west wall has lost structural integrity, we’ll quote replacement instead. Call (850) 427-6454 to schedule a free estimate.

After a hurricane, do you offer emergency board-up or tarping for a damaged CertainTeed roof?

Yes. We offer emergency tarping and board-up for damaged CertainTeed roofs after storms. Our Orlando crews respond to windborne-debris damage in neighborhoods like Conway and Baldwin Park, where trees and pool-screen frames end up on shingles. We tarp the damaged area to prevent water intrusion, then give you a written quote for the permanent repair or replacement. A live person answers the phone 24/7, so you won’t sit through a voicemail maze while water is coming in. Call (850) 427-6454.
