Therma-Tru Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
We provide independent Therma-Tru shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Fort Lauderdale, and most jobs are quoted within 48 hours of your call. The honest price posture: we charge for the work, not the brand name on the label. If you own a Therma-Tru product and need shingle, tile, or metal roofing work done right, this page tells you exactly what to expect. Call (904) 747-8989 and a live person picks up, every time.
As an independent Therma-Tru service provider, we’re not tied to any manufacturer’s script. We tell you when OEM parts are worth the money and when a quality aftermarket option does the job better for less. Ed Winslow grew up in Miami and has seen what Fort Lauderdale humidity and hurricane season do to roofing systems that weren’t installed with real weather in mind.
How Therma-Tru Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Therma-Tru is known for doors, but their shingle, tile, and metal roofing lines have their own weak points. Here’s what we actually see on Fort Lauderdale homes:
- Therma-Tru shingle systems: seal strip degradation from salt air. Homes within three miles of Fort Lauderdale Beach get constant salt-laden wind. We see shingle seal strips on Therma-Tru shingle systems lose adhesion years earlier than inland homes. The shingles don’t fail - the bond between them does. We lift the affected course, clean the contact surface, and re-seal with a marine-grade adhesive rated for coastal exposure. No full replacement needed in most cases.
- Tile roofing underlayment breakdown on Therma-Tru tile systems. The tile itself rarely fails. What fails is the underlayment beneath it, especially on older Fort Lauderdale homes where original felt paper has baked under Florida sun for 20 years. We see this most on Therma-Tru tile systems installed before 2010. The fix is a full underlayment swap, tile re-set, and new flashings - not a new tile roof.
- Metal roofing fastener back-out on Therma-Tru metal panels. Thermal expansion and contraction, which is constant in Fort Lauderdale, works panel screws loose over time. On Therma-Tru metal systems, we most often find this at the ridge and eave edges where wind uplift is strongest. We replace fasteners with oversized-head screws with bonded washers and re-torque the entire panel field.
- Improper flashing at curb-mounted skylights and vents on Therma-Tru tile and shingle systems. The roofing membrane is only as good as its penetrations. We regularly find Therma-Tru tile and shingle roofs with step flashing that was never properly counter-flashed. Water tracks down the underlayment and shows up inside the house weeks later. We re-flash every penetration, replace the boot, and re-bed the tile.
- Tile slippage on steep Fort Lauderdale rooflines. Older Therma-Tru tile installations on roofs pitched beyond 6:12 didn’t always get enough fasteners. One good wind event and tiles start creeping. We re-set slipped tiles with mechanical fasteners and add wind clips at the rake edges where code now requires them.

FAQs
No. Independent repair work on your Therma-Tru shingle, tile, or metal roofing does not automatically void the manufacturer warranty. The warranty covers product defects, not installation or repair work. What matters is that the repair is done correctly, with appropriate materials, and documented. We provide that documentation on every job.
We schedule diagnostic visits within 48 hours for most Fort Lauderdale homes. If you’ve got active water coming in, tell the person who answers the phone and we’ll prioritize you. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll get you on the board.
Both. For seal strips, underlayment, and fasteners, quality aftermarket options often outperform OEM in Fort Lauderdale’s coastal conditions and cost less. For structural components specific to Therma-Tru designs, we recommend OEM. We show you both prices and let you decide with a straight recommendation from us.
If the tile itself is intact and the underlayment is failing, a repair and underlayment replacement costs far less than a new roof and extends the life of your existing tile for 10 to 15 more years. If the tile is cracking, sliding, or losing its surface finish, replacement makes more sense. We’ll tell you which one applies to your roof - not which one makes us more money.
No. There’s no trip charge inside our home county. Estimates are free. You also get a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received from another contractor. Bring us their number and we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s fair.
