AfterTherma-Tru Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
We’re an independent Therma-Tru service provider, and we handle roof replacement and installation for Fort Lauderdale homes built around Therma-Tru doors and windows. Most full replacements run five to seven working days once materials land, and our pricing is always a written line-item quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. If you own a home in Fort Lauderdale with Therma-Tru products and the roof is failing around them, call (904) 747-8989 and Ed Winslow’s team will walk you through what’s actually wrong and what it’ll take to fix it right.
This page is for homeowners who’ve been told their roof needs replacing, or who’ve noticed leaks, sagging, or storm damage around their Therma-Tru windows and doors, and want the job done correctly the first time.
How Therma-Tru Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Therma-Tru makes solid doors and windows, but in Fort Lauderdale’s heat, humidity, and hurricane seasons, even good products fail when the roof system around them was installed poorly. Here’s what we see most often and what we do about it.
- Flashing separation at the head of Therma-Tru Smooth-Star doors. Fort Lauderdale’s wet season pushes water sideways during tropical downpours. When the roof flashing above a Smooth-Star entry door wasn’t lapped correctly, water wicks behind the brickmold and rots the rough opening. We pull the roof edge, replace the flashing with proper Fort Lauderdale code depth, and reseat the door so water sheds away instead of pooling.
- Leaking at the roof-to-wall transition above Therma-Tru Classic-Craft units. Classic-Craft doors are heavy and substantial, which means the wall assembly above them needs proper sheathing and sealant. We regularly find the original builder skipped the peel-and-stick membrane at that joint. We strip the lower roof courses, install membrane and counter-flashing, and the leak stops for good.
- Condensation and water staining at Therma-Tru casement windows under failed eave overhangs. When a Fort Lauderdale roof’s drip edge is short or missing, rainwater runs down the fascia and tracks across the top window casing. The windows themselves aren’t the problem. We extend the roof overhang or add a proper drip edge, then repair the casing and any water-damaged framing.
- UV-degraded sealant joints where roof penetrations meet Therma-Tru frames. South Florida sun breaks down cheap caulk in three to five years. When roof vents, pipes, or skylights were sealed against Therma-Tru window and door frames with standard silicone, the seal fails and water gets in. We use commercial-grade polyurethane sealants rated for coastal UV exposure and reflash every penetration.
- Rotted sub-sills on Therma-Tru sliding patio doors from roof runoff splashing back. If the roof above a patio door doesn’t extend far enough out, rain splashes off the deck or concrete and soaks the bottom track area. By the time the homeowner notices, the sub-sill is soft. We replace the sub-sill, extend or redirect the roof drainage, and reset the door so it drains properly.
