Owens Corning Construction in Plantation, FL | Sawyer Remodel Fort Lauderdale
We provide independent Owens Corning roof installation, repair, and storm-damage service across Plantation. The thing that makes our Owens Corning work here different is simple: we know how these roofs fail on 1960s CBS ranches with carport transitions and protected live oaks. If you need a real diagnosis, not a shingle pitch, call (754) 354-7423.
Why Plantation Residents Choose Us for Owens Corning Service
Luca Romano, our owner and General Contractor - Plantation, trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College reading structural plans, and he brings that same scrutiny to every Owens Corning roof we touch in Plantation. We’re not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized. What we are is independent, which means we tell you the truth about whether your roof needs a patch or a full replacement. We work with Duration STORM, Oakridge, TruDefinition Duration, and Supreme lines regularly, and we know which underlayments were spec’d on 1960s ranch additions and which TruDefinition flashings actually hold up to Broward’s hurricane-driven rain. When you call, you get a written price before any work starts. That’s the Relay Standard, and it’s how we run every job.
We’re part of the broader Owens Corning sales & service network that the Relay Home Co. family supports, but every location runs independently. Our crew wears uniforms, passes background checks, and shows up when we say we will. The work either holds up or it doesn’t – we make sure it does.

Common Owens Corning Construction Problems We Solve in Plantation
- Granule loss and ponding on low-slope sections. Plantation’s UV exposure is brutal. On 1960s – 80s CBS homes, aging Owens Corning Supreme three-tab shingles shed granules until the mat shows through, and the original low-slope sections pond water during summer thunderstorms. We replace the failed sections, re-slope where the deck allows, and install a proper underlayment suited to our humidity.
- Leaks at the carport cricket. The transition where an old carport meets the main roof is a weak point we see constantly. Original flashing rusts through at the cricket, and water dumps into the carport ceiling. We cut out the rotted substrate, replace the damaged plywood or sheathing, and flash the transition correctly before laying new shingles.
- Blown-off ridge caps near the Plantation Golf Course. Oakridge ridge caps on ranch-style homes tend to crack and blow off first in a tropical storm, exposing the ridge vent to wind-driven rain. We replace them with new caps and check the vent closure underneath.
- Membrane-to-parapet wall failures on University Drive condos. TruDefinition Duration shingles on high-rise penthouses can fail where the membrane meets the parapet wall because the original installers didn’t run the underlayment high enough for Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone uplift pressures. We extend it correctly, then reseal the junction.
- Voided warranties from aftermarket flashing on infill luxury builds. Owens Corning’s low-nail-zone warranty gets voided when crews mix in aftermarket step flashing that corrodes faster than the shingle itself. We see vertical-wall leaks owners blame on the brand. Our fix: install the right flashing, document it, and stand behind the work with our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Owens Corning Service in Plantation: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing most out-of-town crews don’t know: every Owens Corning roof replacement on a pre-1990 Plantation ranch has to be sequenced around the city’s tree preservation ordinance. Plantation requires permits and mitigation for removing or heavily pruning any tree over a certain size on private property, and if your job needs a crane or dumpster near a protected live oak, you’re looking at permit time before we can even set equipment. A Sunrise or Davie roof doesn’t carry that constraint. We flag the permit risk before the first shingle is pulled, and we’ve done it enough times in Plantation Isles and the golf-course-adjacent streets off Broward Boulevard to know the timeline. That’s also why a simple roof replacement here can cost a bit more and take a few extra days. Drive through Plantation’s older sections and you’ll see original 1960s ranches with shallow-pitch roofs and jalousie windows still intact. Even a bathroom remodel in those houses can spiral because cast-iron drain lines under the slab have rusted through. A roof job is simpler, but the tree permit variable is real. We build it into your written price so there are no surprises at the invoice.
Owens Corning Models & Products We Service in Plantation
We install and repair the full Owens Corning lineup: Duration STORM, Oakridge, TruDefinition Duration, and Supreme. When an existing system needs exact profile continuity, we use genuine Owens Corning ridge caps, starter strips, and matching underlayments. But we don’t blindly substitute OEM parts when the original accessory is known to fail in Plantation’s humidity and wind. We’ll recommend quality aftermarket metal flashings or vented closures where the Owens Corning part underperforms locally. Our repair-vs-replace stance is driven by the roof deck and frame, not the shingle label. If the sheathing is rotted, no patch job survives the next hurricane season. We stock common profiles locally for faster Plantation turnaround. For a deeper look at how we handle Owens Corning systems across Broward, see our Plantation service area page.

FAQs – Owens Corning Construction in Plantation
Do I need a tree permit in Plantation before you can set up a dumpster or crane for an Owens Corning roof replacement? Yes, if the dumpster or crane will sit near a protected tree over the city’s size threshold. Plantation’s tree preservation ordinance requires a permit and mitigation for heavy pruning or removal. We check this during the estimate and factor the permit timeline into your schedule. Call (754) 354-7423 if you want us to check your property.
My original Owens Corning shingles are only 15 years old and leaking. Why can’t you just patch them? Because the leak is rarely the shingle. On Plantation’s 1960s CBS ranches, water usually enters at the cricket where the carport meets the main roof, or through rusted eave flashing. If the deck underneath is rotten, a patch just buries the problem until the next storm. We’ll tell you honestly if it’s patchable or needs replacement. Call (754) 354-7423 for a straight answer.
Can you match an Owens Corning Duration color on my Plantation home addition when I only need half the roof replaced? In many cases, yes. Duration colors are still in production for most common shades, but sun exposure on a 2005 roof versus a new section means a visible difference. We can order exact color matches and use starter strips and ridge caps from the same profile. If a perfect match isn’t possible, we’ll tell you before you sign. Call (754) 354-7423 and we’ll check availability.
Will an Owens Corning roof system meet Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code for my Plantation high-rise condo? Yes, when installed correctly. The failure we see on University Drive penthouses is undersized underlayment at the membrane-to-parapet junction, not the shingle itself. We extend underlayment to code height and use the correct nailing pattern for HVHZ uplift pressures. Call (754) 354-7423 to schedule an inspection.
The attic in my Plantation ranch smells musty after rain. Is that an Owens Corning shingle problem? Not usually. Musty attic smell points to a flashing or underlayment breach, often at the eave or carport transition. We trace the water path, not the brand label. If the shingle granule loss is severe, we’ll show you photos. Call (754) 354-7423 and we’ll get in the attic and find it.
