Owens Corning Construction in Fort Lauderdale, FL | Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale
We provide independent Owens Corning repair and replacement across Fort Lauderdale, from Victoria Park bungalows to high-rise condos east of US-1.

Call (754) 354-3720 for a free estimate.
Owens Corning builds quality roofing and insulation products. Fort Lauderdale builds on top of them. The two don’t always get along. Our crews have installed and repaired Owens Corning shingles, underlayment, and insulation across this city’s coastal high-rises and 1950s concrete-block homes, so we know exactly how their material lines hold up to hurricane-force winds, intense UV, and the constant salt spray off the Atlantic. We are an independent service provider, not authorized by Owens Corning, but our reputation comes from diagnosing and correcting their most common field failures, not from marketing brochures. If your roof has an Owens Corning problem, we’ll tell you what we found, what it takes to fix it, and what it will cost, before we touch a thing.
Why Fort Lauderdale Residents Choose Us for Owens Corning Service
Fort Lauderdale homeowners call us because we’ve spent the better part of two decades running projects in neighborhoods like Victoria Park, Coral Ridge, and along the Intracoastal. Isaac Pruett, the owner of Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale, started with framing tools in his teens and got serious about construction fundamentals at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. He’s been doing general contractor work in Fort Lauderdale long enough to know what salt air does to a roof deck by looking at it.
Our Owens Corning sales & service approach starts with what’s actually failing. We use genuine Owens Corning components when available from local suppliers, but when a product line is discontinued or backordered, we source aftermarket alternatives that match the same wind-load and impact specs. You get a written price before any work starts, and every crew member arrives in a clean marked uniform with a photo ID badge at the door. No surprises, no verbal promises that grow on the final bill.

Common Owens Corning Construction Problems We Solve in Fort Lauderdale
Here’s what we see most often on Owens Corning systems in this city:
- Duration shingles losing granule adhesion near the ocean: Constant salt spray accelerates surface erosion on Duration Series shingles, exposing the asphalt beneath. Once granules go, the shingle’s UV protection goes with them. This is a coastal Fort Lauderdale problem, not an inland Florida one.
- Oakridge shingles with cracked sealant strips: After even minor wind events, Oakridge shingles on older homes east of US-1 show lifted tabs and water intrusion along eave edges. The sealant strips crack from years of salt air and thermal cycling. We replace the compromised courses rather than gluing tabs back down.
- Foamular XPS insulation board wicking moisture below grade: In humid crawlspaces, Foamular board installed below grade can wick moisture through its skin if the seams aren’t fully taped. That reduces R-value and invites mold. We check the seam taping before anything else.
- Roof deck fasteners corroding near the fascia: On Owens Corning systems in coastal areas, nails that penetrate through underlayment near the fascia corrode faster in salt-laden air. Loose fasteners cause shingle flutter and eventual blow-off. We replace them with corrosion-resistant fasteners.
- Sealant failure on roofs over 8 years old: Salt-weathered Owens Corning shingles rarely hold a patch job beyond one hurricane season. Widespread granule loss or sealant failure usually means full replacement, not spot repair.
Owens Corning Service in Fort Lauderdale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Fort Lauderdale’s coastal high-rises east of US-1 sit under a building code that inland cities simply don’t deal with. Roof assemblies in this zone must meet Miami-Dade HVHZ standards, which are the strictest wind-load and impact requirements in the country. Here’s the problem: many older buildings using Owens Corning shingles were originally permitted under less strict code. The shingles may have been fine for their day, but the assembly around them often lacks what today’s inspectors require. That means our repair work frequently includes adding secondary water barriers and nailed-down ridge vents that are now mandatory, not just fixing the visible shingle damage. If your building in Victoria Park or Coral Ridge still has the original underlayment from the 1980s, a shingle patch won’t bring it up to code. We address that in every estimate.
Owens Corning Models & Products We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We work with the Owens Corning product lines most common on Fort Lauderdale roofs:
- Duration Series Shingles: Including TruDefinition Duration FLEX, which we recommend for coastal wind zones due to its reinforced construction.
- Oakridge Series Shingles: Common on older 1960s and 1970s concrete-block homes across Fort Lauderdale. We replace failed courses or re-roof entirely when granule loss is widespread.
- Foamular XPS Insulation Board: Used below grade and in wall assemblies. We inspect seam taping and moisture wicking in Fort Lauderdale’s humid crawlspaces.
We also handle full roof replacements and standing seam metal roof installations, along with Fort Lauderdale bathroom remodeling, when an Owens Corning system has reached the end of its service life in this climate.

AfterOwens Corning Service Pricing in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale pricing for Owens Corning-related work depends on the scope, the condition of your existing roof deck, and whether the project requires HVHZ compliance upgrades. Here are the ranges we typically see:
| Service | Typical Fort Lauderdale Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1800 |
| Roof Replacement & Installation | $8000 – $20000 |
| Standing Seam Metal Roof | $15000 – $40000 |
What drives the cost most in this city is the underlayment. If your older Fort Lauderdale home still has the original felt underlayment, a replacement roof needs a synthetic peel-and-stick membrane to meet current wind-load code. That adds material and labor, but it’s not optional. Every estimate includes a written line-item breakdown before any work starts. Call (754) 354-3720 to schedule your free estimate and get exact numbers for your roof.

FAQs – Owens Corning Construction in Fort Lauderdale
Yes. Fort Lauderdale’s position in the HVHZ wind zone means Duration shingles require a six-nail fastening pattern, not the four-nail pattern common inland. We follow the manufacturer’s high-wind nailing schedule on every coastal job, and we never cut corners on fastener count because a lifted shingle in a Category 2 storm becomes a projectile. Call (754) 354-3720 if you want us to check your current nailing pattern.
It can, but only if every seam is fully taped and the board is protected from direct moisture contact. In Fort Lauderdale’s high-humidity crawlspaces, untaped seams wick moisture through the foam’s skin and slowly degrade the R-value. We inspect the taping first, because that’s usually where the problem starts.
The short answer is salt air and age. Oakridge shingles on 1960s and 1970s homes in neighborhoods like Coral Ridge were installed when sealant chemistry was less resistant to salt exposure. After 15 to 20 years of daily salt spray and UV, the sealant strips crack and tabs lift even in moderate winds. Once that happens, water gets under the shingle course and the roof deck starts to rot.
On roofs under 8 years old with isolated damage, a repair makes sense. On roofs older than 8 years with widespread granule loss or sealant failure, we recommend full replacement. Partial repairs on salt-weathered Owens Corning shingles rarely hold beyond one hurricane season, and you’ll end up paying twice. Call (754) 354-3720 for an honest assessment.
They perform well if they’re installed with the right baffle and filter combination. In Fort Lauderdale’s intense afternoon thunderstorms, a poorly installed ridge vent can let wind-driven rain enter the attic. We use externally baffled ridge vents that block horizontal rain while allowing proper airflow.
