AfterTherma-Tru Roof Replacement & Installation in Fountainebleau: What to Know First
Therma-Tru roof replacement and installation in Fountainebleau runs $8,500 to $24,000 for a full tear-off and re-roof on a typical single-family home, depending on square footage, roof pitch, and whether we’re dealing with shingle, tile, or metal. Most jobs take 3 to 7 working days from first nail to final cleanup. We’re an independent Therma-Tru service provider, which means we work on the roofing and exterior envelope systems that protect Therma-Tru entry doors and surrounding trim, and we give you a straight line-item price before any material gets ordered. If you own a Therma-Tru door and need roofing work around it in Fountainebleau, call (727) 620-6983 and we’ll talk through what your roof actually needs.
How Therma-Tru Roof Problems Start, and How We Fix Them in Fountainebleau
Therma-Tru is best known for fiberglass and steel entry doors, but the roof systems that surround and protect those doors are where we see recurring trouble in Fountainebleau. The climate here, heavy afternoon storms, salt air drift, and months of UV, puts real stress on the roof-to-wall and roof-to-door transitions. Here are the five failure patterns we see most on homes with Therma-Tru exteriors:
- Flashing failures at Therma-Tru door headers. When a roof drains toward an entry door, the flashing above a Therma-Tru Classic-Craft or Smooth-Star door takes a beating. We regularly find original builder flashing that was never properly counter-flashed, which lets water track down the door frame and into the subfloor. Our fix is a full remove-and-reflash with soldered corners and a kick-out diverter, done before the new roof goes on.
- Fascia and soffit rot around Therma-Tru transom windows. Therma-Tru offers transoms and sidelites in lines like the Classic-Craft collection. In Fountainebleau, we see fascia rot directly above those transoms because roof runoff overshoots the gutter and saturates the trim. The door itself stays fine while the wood around it quietly rots. We replace the fascia with rot-resistant material and correct the overhang or drip edge so water goes into the gutter, not behind the door trim.
- Step flashing torn loose at roof-to-wall junctions. Fountainebleau roofs with low slopes, common in the older sections near Tamiami Park, rely on step flashing where roof shingles meet the wall above a door or sidelite. During wind events, those flashings lift and the roof leaks into the wall cavity. We re-lay the flashing course by course as part of the re-roof, and we inspect the Therma-Tru door’s rough opening while the wall is exposed.
- Improper roof-to-porch transitions trapping water. Homes with covered porches and Therma-Tru French door entry systems often have a roof that ties into the porch beam with nothing but caulk. Caulk fails within two or three Fountainebleau summers. We install metal counter-flashing and a proper drip edge so the joint sheds water instead of absorbing it.
- Skylight and vent flashing near Therma-Tru door lines. Roof penetrations within six feet of a Therma-Tru entry door are the most common source of “mystery” ceiling stains we chase down in Fountainebleau. The door gets blamed, but the real leak is a cracked vent boot or degraded skylight flashing. We replace all penetration flashings during a re-roof, not just the ones that look bad from the ground.
Our Therma-Tru Roof Replacement & Installation Process
Every Fountainebleau roof job follows the same sequence, whether the home has a Therma-Tru Classic-Craft entry or a Smooth-Star garage door system. No shortcuts, no surprises.
- 1
Inspection and measurements. We walk the roof, check the attic, and measure every facet. We look specifically at how the roof meets Therma-Tru door heads, sidelites, and transoms because that’s where leaks hide.
- 2
Line-item estimate. You get a written quote that lists materials, labor, tear-off, dump fees, permit costs, and flashing work separately. The price on the quote is the price you pay, fixed.
- 3
Parts and material decision. For roofing materials we use proven brands appropriate to Fountainebleau’s climate, and we present OEM versus quality aftermarket options for any components that touch the Therma-Tru door system. You decide with our recommendation, not a sales pitch.
- 4
Tear-off and deck inspection. Old roofing comes off, and we inspect the decking beneath. Rotted sections get replaced before new underlayment goes down. This is when we also inspect the rough opening above Therma-Tru doors for hidden water damage.
- 5
Flashing, underlayment, and new roof installation. We install new flashing at every roof-to-wall and roof-to-door junction, lay the underlayment, and install the new roofing system. The Therma-Tru door lines are protected with correct counter-flashing, not caulk.
- 6
Water test, cleanup, and walkthrough. We water-test the critical junctions, haul away all debris, and walk the property with you. If anything isn’t right, we fix it before we leave. The Done Right Promise backs the whole job.

FAQs
Therma-Tru door warranties cover the door itself, not the flashing or roof structure around it. What voids door warranties is water intrusion caused by bad installation, not roof work done properly. When we re-roof in Fountainebleau, we take photos of the door’s rough opening before and after, and we install flashing that keeps water away from the Therma-Tru product. Call (727) 620-6983 if you want us to look at your specific door and roof configuration before you sign anything.
Yes. We work with the same color and profile families used across Therma-Tru lines, and because we’re replacing fascia, soffit, and flashing in Fountainebleau’s coastal climate, we can match or complement your existing door trim so the finished exterior looks intentional, not patched together. We’ll show you material samples before we order anything.
Most full re-roofs take 3 to 7 working days. If we’re only replacing flashing at the door header junction and the roof is otherwise sound, that’s a one-day job. Rain delays in the summer afternoons are a Fountainebleau reality, and we build that into the schedule so we aren’t making promises the weather won’t keep.
If the roof is leaking at a Therma-Tru door head but the shingles or tile are under 10 years old and in good shape, a targeted flashing repair usually solves it for $400 to $900. If the roof is 15+ years old, has visible granule loss or cracked tile, or has leaked into the wall cavity behind the door, replacement is the better long-term call. We’ll show you photos from the attic and the roof so you can see what we see, then you decide.
Yes. Roof replacement in Miami-Dade County requires a permit, and we handle the full permit package, including inspections. Our published license number is on every estimate and every contract, so there’s no ambiguity about who’s doing the work. Call (727) 620-6983 and we’ll walk you through the timeline for your specific street.
