How CertainTeed Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• CertainTeed Landmark shingles with premature granule loss. We see this constantly on west-facing slopes in Silver Lake and Echo Park, where afternoon sun bakes the asphalt core. The granules aren’t just cosmetic; they’re your UV shield. Once they’re gone, the shingle cooks from the inside out. We strip to decking, assess whether the original underlayment was CertainTeed’s DiamondDeck or a lesser felt, and replace with full system components that match the climate load.
• CertainTeed XT 25 three-tab shingles lifting at the sealant strip. These entry-level shingles were common on 1990s San Fernando Valley tract homes, and L.A.’s Santa Ana wind cycles eventually break the thermal seal. When tabs lift repeatedly, the nail line shifts and micro-cracks form at the keyway. We don’t spot-patch these; the sealant fatigue is systemic. Full replacement with architectural-grade shingles, properly nailed through the reinforced nailing zone, is the only fix that holds.
• CertainTeed WinterGuard ice-and-water barrier degraded under clay tile overlays. In the older hillside neighborhoods of Glassell Park and Mount Washington, we’ve found WinterGuard that turned gummy after years trapped under non-breathing tile. It was doing its job, but the lack of airflow accelerated the adhesive breakdown. We remove the tile, scrape the failed membrane back to clean sheathing, and re-bed with current-generation WinterGuard or a comparable high-temp underlayment rated for L.A.’s heat spikes.
• CertainTeed Highland Slate composite shingles with end-curling. These heavier laminates look great on Craftsman revivals, but their weight stresses the fastening pattern on original 1920s skip sheathing. The curl starts at the exposed tail, not the sealant line, which tells us it’s a structural support issue, not a thermal seal failure. We replace the skip sheathing with solid OSB or plywood, re-nail to modern uplift standards, and reinstall Highland Slate or transition to a lighter-profile architectural shingle if the structure can’t take the load.
• CertainTeed Flintlastic SA low-slope membrane with seam separation. On the flat roof sections common to mid-century apartments in Koreatown and Mid-Wilshire, Flintlastic’s self-adhering seams can creep when installed over damp substrate or when the release film isn’t fully removed. The tell is a bubble trail along the lap, not random blisters. We cut back to sound adhesion, re-prime with Flintlastic-approved asphalt primer (or compatible aftermarket), and heat-weld the new seam with a proper cap sheet overlay.

Our CertainTeed Roof Replacement Process

1. 1
   Diagnosis with photos you can see. We climb the roof, document every layer from shingles to decking, and send you the images before we quote. No surprises, no “we found more damage” add-ons later.
2. 2
   Parts decision: OEM CertainTeed or quality equivalent. If your warranty is still active, we source CertainTeed originals to preserve coverage. If it’s expired, we’ll quote comparable GAF Timberline HDZ or Owens Corning Duration as alternatives, same specs, with the price difference spelled out line by line.
3. 3
   Written price before any work starts. Every material, every labor hour, every permit fee, in writing. Every promise in writing – that’s just how we do it.
4. 4
   Removal and decking inspection. We pull to bare wood, replace compromised decking with 7/16″ OSB or plywood per L.A. code, and photograph the substrate for your records.
5. 5
   Install to manufacturer spec plus local amendment. Six nails per shingle in wind zones, proper valley weave or W-metal per L.A. County’s latest amendments, and full perimeter drip edge.
6. 6
   Final walk, digital invoice, and 365-Day Done Right Promise. You approve the finished roof from the ground and from our photos. The invoice arrives by text. If anything we touched fails within 365 days, we come back free, including a free second visit if needed.

What CertainTeed Roof Replacement Costs in Los Angeles

Most full CertainTeed roof replacements in Los Angeles run $8,500 – $18,000 for typical single-family homes between 1,500 and 3,000 square feet. Here’s what moves you within that range:

• Shingle tier: Landmark PRO or Landmark Premium runs $1.20 – $1.80 more per square foot than base Landmark, and Highland Slate adds another $0.80 – $1.10.
• Decking replacement: Rotted plywood adds $75 – $125 per 4×8 sheet, including labor. We find this on roughly one in three older L.A. homes once we strip to bare wood.
• Steep-slope surcharge: Roofs over 7:12 pitch require additional safety rigging and slow the crew; typically 10 – 15% added labor.
• Flat sections: Flintlastic or comparable modified bitumen on low-slope areas runs $12 – $18 per square foot, separate from the shingle quote.

We don’t quote by the square and hope it works out. We measure, photograph, and price exactly what your roof needs. Call (325) 246-5075 for your free estimate – the number we write down is the number on the invoice.
