Why Pasadena Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service

Dylan Pace, our owner, grew up in Los Angeles and has spent nearly two decades working roofs across the San Gabriel Valley. He learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, where the curriculum drilled into roofing systems, materials science, and structural basics. That background matters when you’re inspecting a 1920s Craftsman with original skip sheathing and a CertainTeed Landmark roof that’s starting to fail.

As an independent crew, we’ve installed and repaired more CertainTeed roof systems across Pasadena than any single manufacturer’s training program would cover. That depth means we know how CertainTeed materials behave on the specific housing stock here: steep pitches, intricate eaves, and decking that was laid before plywood existed. We use genuine CertainTeed replacement shingles and accessories when matching an existing roof or handling warranty-adjacent repairs. We’re not a manufacturer-authorized affiliate. We’re a roofing company that chose to specialize in this brand because so many Pasadena homes carry it.

Our CertainTeed sales & service work comes with the same written guarantee as everything else we do: 365 days on every repair, in writing, included at no extra cost. If a covered repair fails within that year, we return and fix it free. No negotiation.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Pasadena

CertainTeed makes good materials. But Pasadena’s climate and housing stock create specific failure patterns we see again and again. Here are the five we handle most often:

• Landmark shingles losing granules on south-facing slopes. Pasadena’s intense UV exposure breaks down the asphalt binder faster than the 25-year rating suggests. We see bare spots and premature brittleness on 15 to 20 year old roofs, especially on south-facing planes that get full sun all day. The fix usually involves replacing the affected shingle courses before the underlying mat starts to crack.
• Flintlastic SA lap seams lifting after winter rains. CertainTeed’s self-adhered modified bitumen is a solid flat-roof system, but it relies on a smooth, sound substrate. Many older bungalows in Pasadena have uneven wood decking, and when heavy January rains saturate the roof, the lap seams start to peel. We repair these by re-adhering the seam and installing a reinforcing strip when the decking won’t allow a clean bond.
• Presidential Shake tabs cracking at the nail line. This heavy luxury shingle looks great on Spanish Colonial Revivals, but Pasadena’s thermal cycling between hot days and cool nights stresses the tab at the fastener. On homes with unvented or poorly vented attics, that stress doubles. Cracked tabs mean exposed nail heads, and exposed nail heads mean leaks.
• Grand Manor sliding on steep pitches. Grand Manor is CertainTeed’s thickest laminated architectural shingle. On steep original pitches with skip sheathing beneath, if the shingles were nailed high and never hand-sealed, the weight of the laminate can cause the tabs to slide over time. We see this on hillside homes in Pasadena where the pitch exceeds 8:12.
• Flashing failures at headwalls and chimneys on pre-1950 homes. This isn’t really a CertainTeed problem. It’s a Pasadena problem. Original galvanized flashing on 1920s and 1930s homes rusts through eventually, and when it does, the leak shows up through whatever shingle is on top, including Landmark. We replace the step flashing, repair the decking if needed, and re-lay the existing CertainTeed shingles where they’re still viable.

CertainTeed Service in Pasadena: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof

The single biggest factor shaping CertainTeed roofing decisions in Pasadena isn’t the weather. It’s the city’s Historic Preservation Commission. Pasadena’s Bungalow Heaven Landmark District requires original wood shingle or specific clay tile profiles for replacement on contributing structures. That means a homeowner with failing CertainTeed asphalt shingles on a designated historic property can’t simply tear off and re-roof with the same product. They need to either restore the original material, which often means custom-fabricated cedar or clay tile, or seek a Certificate of Appropriateness for a compatible Roof Replacement - Pasadena option. That approval process adds time, paperwork, and sometimes cost. It also means the quote we write has to account for the Commission’s requirements from day one, not surprise you mid-tear-off. This is not something a generic CertainTeed contractor from Glendale or Alhambra deals with routinely. We do. Our crew knows the Bungalow Heaven guidelines because we’ve worked under them.

This comes up on lead service calls frequently. A homeowner buys a bungalow with Landmark shingles already on it. The roof fails. They call us expecting a straightforward re-roof. We inspect, check the historic status, and explain the options straight, because Dylan’s rule is simple: get it in writing, then get it done right. Sometimes that means a full CertainTeed re-roof is off the table, and we need to talk cedar or tile. Sometimes it means the home isn’t a contributing structure and we can proceed normally. Either way, you’ll know exactly what’s possible before we start.

CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Pasadena

We work across the CertainTeed residential lineup most common on Pasadena roofs. CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles are the workhorse, and we handle granular loss, curling, wind damage, and localized replacement. CertainTeed Presidential Shake and Grand Manor are the premium profiles, often found on larger Spanish Revival and Mediterranean homes along streets like Arden Road and San Rafael Avenue. CertainTeed Flintlastic SA is the flat-roof membrane we service most on mid-century ranch homes and additions.

For parts, we use genuine CertainTeed replacement shingles and accessories when matching an existing roof or during warranty-adjacent repairs. When a certain older tile profile is no longer manufactured, we say so plainly and source salvage or custom-matched alternatives. For full re-roofs with modern CertainTeed lines, we always quote both full tear-off and overlay options so you can see the structural and code trade-offs. We stock common Landmark colors locally, which means most small Pasadena repairs don’t wait on a supplier shipment.
