CertainTeed Construction in West Palm Beach, FL | Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach
We provide independent CertainTeed repair and installation across West Palm Beach, from Flamingo Park bungalows to Northwood Hills CBS ranches. What makes our CertainTeed work different here is that we already know how these products fail in salt air and humidity before we ever lift a shingle. Call (728) 203-3270 for a free estimate, and you’ll have a written price before any work starts.
We’re Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach, a Cedarwell company. Graham Stein walks every job site himself, and our crews have been pulling apart CertainTeed roofs and siding in this city long enough to know which failures are normal here and which ones need a closer look.
Why West Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes good roofing and siding. The problem is that most contractors treat it like any other brand. We don’t, because West Palm Beach doesn’t let you. Salt air off the Intracoastal, the wet-season humidity swing, and the Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements all change how CertainTeed products wear and what a lasting repair actually looks like.
Graham learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent decades on construction crews before settling into the West Palm Beach market. He’s walked kitchens, bathrooms, and exteriors all over Flamingo Park, and he still puts a written scope of work in every homeowner’s hands before the first drop cloth goes down: itemized labor, materials by brand and quantity, and a firm start and end window. Put it in writing, then do exactly that.
We default to genuine CertainTeed components. Matching ridge caps, starter strips, color-matched caulk. If a discontinued Landmark color or old Cedar Impressions profile can’t be sourced, we say so plainly and recommend a full elevation replacement instead of stitch-and-patch work that will show in two years. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s the longest post-project commitment you’ll find around here.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in West Palm Beach
- Granule loss and shingle lifting on Landmark roofs within 5 – 8 years. Salt-air corrosion eats the starter strip and exposed nail heads along the eaves. We see this on homes from the 1990s throughout West Palm Beach, especially north of Southern Boulevard. The fix starts with replacing the starter course, not just nailing down the lifted shingles.
- Cedar Impressions panels cracking at the bottom lock. On 1950s-era flat-roof additions in Northwood Hills, stucco parapets trap rainwater that sits against the bottom lock until it splits. We check the parapet flashing and drainage before we replace a single panel, because a new panel on a bad parapet fails the same way.
- WeatherBoards lap joints opening up. The humidity swing between wet season and dry season makes fiber cement move. When lap joints open, water wicks into the sheathing behind the siding. We see it most on west-facing walls that get afternoon sun after morning humidity.
- Decking delamination on re-roofs. When a second layer of Landmark is installed over original 1960s T-lock shingles, the added weight causes decking failure on the few cold nights when West Palm Beach dips below 50°F. We pull the old layers instead of roofing over them.
- Black streaking on WeatherBoards near the Intracoastal. That’s algae and airborne salt residue, not a product defect. We clean it without replacing the boards, then treat the surface so it doesn’t return within a season.
CertainTeed Service in West Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something a Fort Lauderdale or Boca contractor wouldn’t tell you, because they don’t deal with it every month: West Palm Beach enforces a 1980s-era historic overlay in Flamingo Park and El Cid that requires historically appropriate roofing and siding materials. That means our CertainTeed work in those districts often has to match the look of 1920s wood shingle or cement tile using Landmark Pro in specific Weathered Wood blends, or Cedar Impressions in approved stains. The historic board reviews the material and the color before we order anything. We’ve sat through enough of those reviews to know which CertainTeed profiles and colors clear without a fight, and which ones get sent back. If you own a bungalow in Flamingo Park, don’t let a contractor from outside the area order materials before the board signs off. That’s how you end up with forty squares of shingles you can’t use.
Last spring our crew replaced a failed 1998 Landmark roof on a 1955 CBS ranch in Northwood Hills. The homeowner had been chasing a leak under the original cast-iron waste vents for three years. We pulled the old shingles and found the decking spongy at the vent collars, replaced two sheets of plywood, swapped in Landmark Pro in Weathered Wood with a StormMaster hip and ridge, and reused the original drip edge after treating it for salt pitting. Three years of leaks, and the real problem was under the shingles the whole time.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in West Palm Beach
We install and repair the full residential CertainTeed line that makes sense for South Florida: Landmark series asphalt shingles (Landmark, Landmark Pro, Landmark Premium), Cedar Impressions individual 5″ sawmill shingles and perfection shingles, WeatherBoards fiber cement siding, and Monogram vinyl siding.
For parts, we use genuine CertainTeed components wherever the roof or wall will stay visible: matching ridge caps, starter strips, color-matched caulk, and OEM flashing. For old Cedar Impressions or discontinued Landmark colors, we source new-old-stock from regional suppliers when it exists. When it doesn’t, we tell you before the job starts and recommend a full elevation replacement. Patchwork on a South Florida exterior shows within a year. We don’t do it. See our CertainTeed sales & service page for the full breakdown of how we approach this brand.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in West Palm Beach
Here are the price ranges we quote for CertainTeed work in West Palm Beach. They account for the materials, the tear-off or prep, and the labor.
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600 – $2,500 |
What drives the cost: the number of stories, the roof pitch, how many layers we’re pulling off, and whether the decking needs replacement. A re-roof over delaminated decking costs more because we replace the plywood, and we won’t skip that step. A repair on a simple single-story ranch in Northwood Hills lands at the low end of the range. A full tear-off on a two-story Flamingo Park bungalow with historic board conditions lands higher.
Every estimate includes a written, itemized price before any work starts. No change orders that appear after the crew arrives. Call (728) 203-3270 to schedule your free estimate, and you’ll know exactly what the job costs before you agree to it.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in West Palm Beach
Landmark shingles carry a wind warranty up to 110 mph for the standard line, with higher ratings on Landmark Pro and Landmark Premium. What matters is that the warranty only holds if the installation followed CertainTeed’s high-wind application specs: the right number of nails, the right nailing pattern, and a sealed starter course. We install to those specs on every roof, and we document the installation in case you ever need to file a claim. Call (728) 203-3270 if you want us to inspect your roof after a storm before you call your insurer.
Yes. We use Cedar Impressions individual 5″ sawmill shingles in approved stains, or Landmark Pro in certain Weathered Wood blends that read as wood shake from the street. The historic board in Flamingo Park reviews the material and color before installation. We’ve cleared these products with them multiple times, and we handle the submission paperwork. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll tell you which options have the best shot before you spend money on samples.
That’s algae and airborne salt residue, common on homes within a mile of the Intracoastal in West Palm Beach. It’s not a siding failure. We clean WeatherBoards with a soft wash and an algae-specific treatment, then apply a preventative treatment so it doesn’t come back for several seasons. Replacing the boards is only needed if the algae has eaten into the paint and the fiber cement is degrading. Call (728) 203-3270 for a siding inspection and a written quote for cleaning or replacement.
We don’t layer new shingles over old tar-and-gravel. The original flat roof gets its own system: a membrane or a modified bitumen roof that handles ponding water. The shingled pitched sections get Landmark or Landmark Pro. The transition between the flat and pitched sections is where these houses leak, so we rebuild the flashing and cricket at that junction. It’s a common condition in Northwood Hills and the 1950s neighborhoods south of Belvedere Road. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll walk the roof with you before quoting anything.
Technically you can, but we almost never recommend it. The original aluminum siding traps moisture against the sheathing, and once you cover it, you can’t see the damage until it’s structural. We prefer to pull the aluminum, inspect the sheathing, repair what’s rotted, install a proper weather barrier, then put up the Cedar Impressions on a clean wall. It costs more up front. It lasts. Call (728) 203-3270 for a siding estimate that includes the tear-off, not just the cover-up.
