Why Woodland Hills Homeowners Choose CertainTeed Roofing
We’re an independent Woodland Hills Certainteed service provider, and we repair and install CertainTeed’s full residential line, including Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential Shake luxury shingles, Carriage House dimensional shingles, and Flintlastic SA modified bitumen for low-slope sections. Our crews have worked on hundreds of CertainTeed roofs across the San Fernando Valley, so we know how these products behave in Woodland Hills’ extreme heat and Santa Ana wind conditions. We’re not employed by or authorized by CertainTeed, which means we can give you straight advice about what to fix and what to replace without a manufacturer’s agenda. Call (650) 456-5615 to talk through what you’re seeing on your roof.
Why Trust Crestview Roofing Co Woodland Hills for Your CertainTeed Roofing?
Dylan Pace, our owner, grew up in Los Angeles and spent enough summers on hot rooftops as a teenager to know exactly what he was getting into. He trained in the building and construction trades program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending two decades working roofs across the San Fernando Valley. His crews have served Woodland Hills for years, including jobs throughout the Warner Center corridor where flat commercial roofs and older tile homes keep things interesting. That experience matters when you’re dealing with CertainTeed products, because these aren’t generic shingles. Landmark shingles have a specific nailing pattern and sealant behavior. Presidential Shake tabs sit differently than standard architectural tabs. Flintlastic SA needs a clean, dry substrate to bond correctly. A crew that treats every shingle the same will miss these details. We don’t. And every promise we make goes in writing, because a handshake doesn’t keep the rain out.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Fix in Woodland Hills
CertainTeed makes solid roofing products, but Woodland Hills throws heat and wind at them that no shingle shrugs off forever. Here are the five issues we see most often on CertainTeed roofs in this neighborhood:
- Landmark granule loss and cracking on south-facing slopes. Landmark architectural shingles are workhorses, but Woodland Hills summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, and south-facing slopes take the brunt of that UV exposure year after year. The asphalt in the shingle dries out, granules slough off into gutters, and hairline cracks form along the shingle edges. Granule loss matters because granules are what block UV and give the shingle its fire rating. Once they’re gone, the shingle degrades fast.
- Presidential Shake tabs lifting at corners. Presidential Shake is CertainTeed’s luxury line, and it’s heavy. The tabs are thick and dimensional, and they need six nails per shingle according to CertainTeed’s spec. When original installers used four nails, or when the nail placement missed the nailing strip, the corners of those tabs lift. We see this on wind-exposed ridges and gable ends in Woodland Hills, especially after Santa Ana events. The fix is re-nailing the lifted tabs and resealing them, but it has to be done before water gets under the shingle.
- Flintlastic SA seam openings on low-slope sections. Flintlastic SA is a self-adhered modified bitumen membrane, and it’s common on the flat or low-slope roof sections you find on mid-century ranch homes in Woodland Hills. After years of thermal cycling, the lap seams can open slightly, especially near scuppers and drains where water sits or flows. These are slow leaks, the kind that stain ceilings and rot decking before anyone notices. The repair is cleaning the seam, applying new adhesive or heat-welding depending on the substrate, and re-sealing.
- Carriage House wind uplift on ridges and rakes. Carriage House dimensional shingles have a distinctive shadow-band profile, and they look great on the newer estate homes in Woodland Hills. But like Presidential Shake, Carriage House needs proper starter strips and correct nail counts at vulnerable edges. When the starter strip was omitted at the rake, wind gets under the shingle and lifts it. The damage is progressive, and the tell is shingles that flap slightly in a strong wind or that look misaligned at the roof edge.
- Valley failures with exposed nails. Roof valleys channel a lot of water, and if the valley metal was installed with exposed nails or if the shingles were undercut too close to the valley center, water finds a way in. We found this exact problem in a Woodland Hills home with Landmark shingles: wind had lifted a few tabs near a valley, the exposed nails were rusting, and a slow leak had started. We removed the damaged shingles, replaced the valley metal with corrosion-resistant flashing, and re-installed matching Landmark shingles with six nails each and fresh sealant. That homeowner hasn’t seen a drop since.
CertainTeed Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
When a CertainTeed roof needs our Roof Repair services, the parts matter. We use genuine CertainTeed accessories whenever a color match or profile match is required, including SwiftStart starter shingles, DiamondDeck underlayment, and CertainTeed ridge caps. Using the right starter shingle matters because it has the correct adhesive strip alignment for the shingle above it. Using the wrong underlayment under a CertainTeed shingle can cause issues with the shingle’s warranty. For discontinued CertainTeed colors, we source high-quality aftermarket shingles selected to match the existing fade and granule blend, because a patch that doesn’t match looks worse than the leak. On the repair-vs-replace question, we’re honest: if more than 30% of a slope is damaged, replacement usually costs less than repeated patching over the next five years. We’ll tell you that even when we could keep billing repairs. Call (650) 456-5615 for a straight assessment.
Our CertainTeed Service Process – Step by Step
Here’s how a CertainTeed service job goes with us, from the first call to the final invoice:
- 1
Diagnosis. We inspect the roof and identify the failed component. For CertainTeed, that means checking nail patterns, sealant strip engagement, flashing transitions, and underlayment condition. We document everything with photos.
- 2
Written scope and price. Before any work starts, you get a written price and a clear description of what we’re fixing. The number on the page is the number on the invoice.
- 3
Repair or install. We work with the right materials. Shingle replacements use the correct CertainTeed model and color match. Flashing repairs use corrosion-resistant metal. Valley repairs include proper underlayment and open-metal valley work where needed.
- 4
Test and document. We water-test repaired areas where practical and photograph the finished work. You receive before-and-after photos so you can see exactly what was done.
- 5
Warranty in writing. Every repair is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a covered repair fails within 365 days, we correct it at no charge, including a free second visit. This is included with every job, in writing.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing Service in Woodland Hills
Yes, individual Landmark shingles can be repaired or replaced without touching the rest of the roof, as long as the surrounding shingles are in sound condition and the color match is workable. The key is using the correct nails in the right pattern and the correct sealant, which is exactly what we do. If more than 30% of a single slope is damaged, we’ll recommend replacement of that slope rather than patching. Call (650) 456-5615 for an honest assessment.
Presidential Shake tabs lift at the corners when the original install used too few nails per shingle or missed the nailing strip. CertainTeed specifies six nails per Presidential Shake shingle, and high-wind areas like Certainteed in Calabasas and Woodland Hills really need all six. The heat of Woodland Hills summers also softens the sealant over time, and wind does the rest. The fix is re-nailing the lifted tabs and applying fresh sealant, which stops further wind damage.
Intense UV exposure and thermal shock cause granule loss on Landmark shingles in this valley. Woodland Hills regularly sees summer temperatures above 100°F, and the asphalt in shingles oxidizes and dries out faster on south-facing slopes than it does in cooler coastal areas. Once the asphalt binding the granules weakens, granules wash into gutters. Some granule loss is normal over time, but heavy loss that exposes bare asphalt means the shingle is nearing the end of its life on that slope. Call (650) 456-5615 and we’ll tell you whether you’re looking at normal wear or failure in progress.
We use genuine CertainTeed accessories, including SwiftStart starter shingles, DiamondDeck underlayment, and CertainTeed ridge caps, whenever a color or profile match requires them. For metal flashing, we use high-quality corrosion-resistant flashing stock that meets or exceeds the original specification. For discontinued shingle colors, we use aftermarket shingles matched to the existing fade and granule blend. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting before any work starts.
Flintlastic SA seams opening is a common failure on flat and low-slope roofs, requiring Certainteed repair in Oak Park and Woodland Hills alike, usually after years of thermal cycling. The fix starts with cleaning the seam thoroughly, then re-adhering it with the correct adhesive or heat-welding depending on the membrane condition and substrate. If the seams around scuppers and drains are repeatedly failing, that’s a sign the membrane itself is losing flexibility, and we’ll give you a straight answer about repair versus replacement. Call (650) 456-5615 for an exact quote, and the estimate is free.
For CertainTeed repair work in Woodland Hills, most standard shingle repairs run $350 to $850 depending on slope accessibility, the number of shingles involved, and whether flashing or underlayment needs replacement. Larger valley or flashing repairs run $900 to $2,200. Full CertainTeed roof replacements vary widely based on roof size, pitch, tear-off requirements, and which product line you choose. Call (650) 456-5615 and we’ll give you a written line-item price for your specific roof, free.
