How CertainTeed Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CertainTeed makes a solid shingle, but every product has a pattern. After going on two decades of working Los Angeles roofs, Greg Holloway and our crews recognize the failure before the ladder is even up. Here’s what we see on CertainTeed roofs in this city, and what we do about it.

• Landmark granule loss at the eaves. The Landmark series is the most common CertainTeed shingle in Los Angeles, and we regularly see heavy granule loss in the first three feet above the gutters. Sun reflects off stucco walls and hardscape, baking the lower courses from below. You’ll see bare patches and find granules in the gutters. We assess how deep the loss runs. If the mat is intact, we spot-replace affected shingles. If the lower courses are breaking down, we quote a full re-shingle of the eave line before it turns into sheathing rot.
• Presidential Shake cracked at the shadow line. Presidential Shake is a luxury laminated shingle that mimics wood shake, but the deep shadow line is a stress riser, and on steep Los Angeles hillside roofs the wind drives up into that groove and flexes it. We see cracked shingles at the shadow line after 12 to 15 years. The fix is replacing the cracked piece and sealing the entire shadow line on the affected slope with a roofing-grade adhesive that stays flexible, so the roof moves as one unit instead of shingle by shingle.
• XT 25 nail-up failures from old fastening patterns. XT 25 is CertainTeed’s classic three-tab, and on older Los Angeles installations it was commonly fastened with four nails per strip instead of six. In Santa Ana wind events, those corners lift and the shingle breaks clean off. We re-nail the raised area to code, replace torn shingles, and if the nailing pattern is failing across the roof, we’ll tell you honestly that patchwork won’t hold and give you a written number for a full resheet or replacement.
• Highland Slate losing its built-in seal strip. Highland Slate carries a heavy asphalt body and a visual slate profile, but the factory seal strip degrades before the shingle does. When that seal lets go, the shingle hangs loose and slaps in the wind until it cracks. We see this concentrated on the windward side. We replace the loose shingles and add a hand-seal to each course on the affected elevation, not just the obvious ones.
• Flat roof flashing at the Vent Boot. CertainTeed’s flat/low-slope products (Flintlastic and related membranes) are solid, but the failure we chase most is at the pipe boot. The rubber collar shrinks in Los Angeles heat, cracks at the base, and lets water travel along the underside of the membrane before it shows up inside. We replace the boot, reset the flashing, and since the membrane may have degraded around the penetration, we extend a new patch at least 12 inches around the assembly so we’re not chasing the same leak in eight months.

Our CertainTeed Roof Repair Process

Here’s how a CertainTeed repair with Tilehurst Roofing goes, from the phone call to the guarantee. No mystery steps, no surprise upcharges.

1. 1
   Call and describe what you’re seeing. A live person answers 24/7, and we ask about the leak, the stain, the missing shingle. We also ask what brand and series your roof is, because that tells us where to look first.
2. 2
   We inspect the roof, not just the spot. We walk the entire roof surface, check the flashing, the valleys, the ridge cap, and the drip edge. CertainTeed failures often start one place and travel, so we document everything before touching a shingle.
3. 3
   You get a written price. Know the price before the first tile moves. We write the cost on paper, including what parts we’ll need and which approach we’re taking.
4. 4
   Parts decision. If a CertainTeed shingle is still in production, we’ll match the line and color as close as the roof’s age allows. If the shingle is discontinued or your color is weathered beyond a clean match, we’ll use a quality aftermarket equivalent and tell you honestly whether the repair will be visible.
5. 5
   Repair and test. We make the repair, then run water over the affected area for at least 20 minutes before we leave. If it doesn’t leak under water, it doesn’t leak in rain. If it does, we redo it the same day.
6. 6
   Written guarantee and cleanup. We put the guarantee in writing and hand it to you before the crew leaves. We also sweep, magnet-clean for nails, and leave the place cleaner than we found it.

What CertainTeed Roof Repair Costs in Los Angeles

In Los Angeles, most CertainTeed shingle repairs with us fall between $350 and $950, and the most common jobs are:

• Shingle replacement (Landmark, XT 25, Presidential): $350-$650 for a small section, depending on roof pitch and access.
• Flashing repair at chimney, wall, or step flashing: $500-$1,200, since we often cut out and replace the affected flashing course by course, not just caulk over it.
• Flat roof patch (Flintlastic or similar): $450-$900 for a clean, reinforced patch at the penetration or seam.
• Vent boot replacement: $350-$550.
• Valley repair, including new woven shingles: $600-$1,200, which is where you don’t want a painter’s caulk fix.

What moves the price: roof pitch, number of stories, how close the area is to a wall or penetration, and whether we can safely reach it from a ladder or need scaffolding. The free estimate locks all of that down. Call (945) 303-9821 and we’ll give you a written number on the spot.
