AfterTherma-Tru Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
We repair Therma-Tru roof systems and related exterior components across Fort Lauderdale as an independent Therma-Tru service provider, and most repair jobs are completed within one to three business days once we’ve assessed the damage. Therma-Tru is primarily known for doors, but many Fort Lauderdale homes pair Therma-Tru entry systems with roof-adjacent flashing, trim, and integrated weather barriers that fail together when a roof leak starts. You’ll get a straight answer on what’s actually wrong before we ever quote a price.
This page is for homeowners with Therma-Tru products who’ve noticed water staining near a door, daylight showing through weatherstripping, or roof leaks that seem to track toward an entryway. Call (904) 747-8989 and a live person answers, day or night.
How Therma-Tru Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Therma-Tru Classic-Craft and Fiber-Classic door frames wicking roof runoff. These fiberglass door systems hold up well in salt air, but the frame-to-sheathing joint is only as good as the flashing above it. In Fort Lauderdale, afternoon downpours dump water at the head of the door, and a failed roof drip edge or missing kickout flashing sends that water straight behind the frame. We pull the interior casing, confirm the intrusion path, replace the flashing, and re-seal the rough opening with sealant rated for our humidity.
- Smooth-Star and Pulse series doors with swollen jambs after tropical storms. These entry systems are popular in older Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods like Victoria Park and Rio Vista. When roof gutters overflow or a valley dumps water against the wall above the door, the door jamb absorbs moisture and the slab starts dragging. The roof repair comes first: correcting the gutter fall or valley flashing, then drying and resetting the door. Skipping the roof part means you’ll be back in six months.
- Roof flashing that was never integrated with a Therma-Tru threshold. We see this constantly on homes where the door was replaced before the roof was. The roofer’s metal stops short of the sill pan, and wind-driven rain gets behind the threshold. Our fix is a custom sill pan and continuous flashing tie-in from the roofline down to the Therma-Tru threshold, so water never touches the subfloor.
- Skylight and roof penetration leaks migrating to Therma-Tru transom windows. Therma-Tru transoms above entry doors often sit directly under a roofline or porch overhang. A failed pipe boot or skylight gasket lets water travel down the rafter and drip inside the transom frame. We repair the roof penetration first, then replace any water-damaged transom weatherstripping. Most owners replace the transom glass unnecessarily when the actual problem is fifty feet up.
- Garage-side man doors with Therma-Tru frames pulling away from the roofline. On Fort Lauderdale homes with flat or low-slope roofs, the fascia near a side entry door sees constant water exposure. If the fascia rots, the entire Therma-Tru frame loses its anchor. We replace the rotted roof edge, refasten the frame with structural screws, and re-flash the top cap so the detail sheds water instead of catching it.
Our Therma-Tru Roof Repair Process
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You describe what you’re seeing, and we schedule a visit at a time that works. No call centers, no ticket numbers.
- 2
On-site inspection with honest findings. Our technician shows up in uniform, background-checked, and walks the roof and the Therma-Tru components. Ed’s name is on the door, and every tech reports back to him directly.
- 3
Diagnosis with photos. We show you exactly where the water is getting in, so you’re not taking our word for it. This part matters when you’ve been burned by vague estimates before.
- 4
Repair plan with parts decision. Where an OEM Therma-Tru weatherstrip or sweep preserves your existing warranty, we use it. Where aftermarket flashing or sealant outperforms the original without voiding anything, we tell you that too, and we explain why.
- 5
The repair, done clean. Roof flashing, drip edges, sill pans, re-sealing, frame resetting, whatever the job needs. We lay drop cloths, we clean up, and we don’t leave fasteners in your flower bed.
- 6
Water test and walkthrough. We prove the fix before we leave. Then we walk you through what we did and what to watch for next time a storm rolls through Fort Lauderdale.

FAQs
No. Repairing the roof and flashing above your Therma-Tru door does not void the door’s warranty, as long as the door components themselves aren’t modified. We preserve OEM weatherstripping and sweeps where they’re serviceable, and we document everything so there’s a paper trail if you ever file a Therma-Tru claim. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll walk you through what we do to keep you warranty-safe.
We typically schedule most Therma-Tru roof repair visits within a few days of your call, and we answer the phone 24/7. If water is actively coming into the house during a storm, tell the person who answers, and we’ll prioritize getting someone out. Since we’re local with no trip charge inside the home county, a second opinion on any written estimate is free.
Most doors don’t need replacing just because roof water got behind the frame. Fiberglass Therma-Tru slabs and jambs withstand a lot of moisture exposure as long as the frame is dried out and re-sealed. We’ll tell you straight if replacement makes more sense, and if it does, the estimate will show exactly why. We’d rather keep a solid door in service than sell you a new one you don’t need.
Yes, when the part in question is specific to the door system, like weatherstripping, corner seals, or adjustable thresholds. For flashing, fasteners, sealants, and roof components, we use materials that match or exceed the original spec, because that’s what actually lasts through a Fort Lauderdale wet season. We’ll show you what’s going in before it goes in.
It covers our workmanship. If the repair we did fails, we come back and fix it. Simple as that. Ed’s name is on the truck, and that’s the only guarantee you need. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free estimate and you’ll have a written line-item quote before anything is scheduled.
