CertainTeed Roofing in Pico Rivera, CA | Crestview Roofing Co Pasadena
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Pico Rivera, from full tear-offs to flashing repair on the city’s 1950s-60s ranch homes. The one thing that makes our CertainTeed work here different: we know which shingle profiles fail first under Pico Rivera’s UV-heavy summers and Santa Ana gusts, and we price the fix in writing before a single shingle comes off. Dylan Pace leads our crews through the San Gabriel Valley, and he grew up working roofs just like the ones that cover Pico Rivera block after block. Call (626) 389-1956 for a free estimate on any CertainTeed roof.
Why Pico Rivera Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed shingles show up on more Pico Rivera roofs than most people realize. Original Landmark and XT 25 shingles from the 1960s and 70s are still up there, baked brittle by decades of 90-degree summers and occasionally torn loose by Santa Ana wind. We work on those roofs weekly, so we know what holds up and what’s already past saving-whether you need Pico Rivera Roof Repair or a full tear-off. Dylan Pace, our owner, got his start at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent the better part of two decades on roofs across the San Gabriel Valley, including plenty of the same flat, low-slope 1950s ranches that dominate Pico Rivera. When we quote a CertainTeed repair or replacement here, the price reflects what the roof actually needs, not what a generic estimator assumes. We use CertainTeed-matched and OEM-grade materials for warranty consistency, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. That means if a covered repair fails within a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. Get it in writing, then get it done right. That’s how we work in Pico Rivera.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Pico Rivera
- Landmark granule loss and brittleness from Pico Rivera’s UV exposure. After 20-plus years of direct San Gabriel Valley sun, CertainTeed Landmark shingles shed granules and the asphalt goes brittle. We see bare spots on south-facing slopes all over Pico Rivera, and those spots are where cracks start. We replace damaged shingles with CertainTeed-matched stock or recommend a full re-roof when the granule loss is roof-wide.
- XT 25 three-tab shingles tearing along nail lines. XT 25 was a workhorse three-tab shingle on 1950s and 60s Pico Rivera ranches, but the tabs get loose with age. When Santa Ana gusts get under them, they tear right along the nail line. We repair individual tabs and, more often, recommend a tear-off to a modern architectural CertainTeed profile that handles wind better.
- Flintlastic SA cap sheet seams lifting on flat sections. Plenty of Pico Rivera homes have flat or low-slope built-up roof sections, and CertainTeed Flintlastic SA cap sheet seams dry out and lift over time. That’s where leaks at flashing transitions start. We re-seal seams and replace damaged flashing before water gets into the decking.
- Presidential Shake tabs curling on unshaded south exposures. Presidential Shake looks great, but on a Pico Rivera roof with no tree cover, thermal cycling makes the tabs curl at the edges. Curled tabs catch wind and eventually break off. We replace curled shingles and check the underlayment beneath them.
- Flashing failures at the low-slope edges. The original flashing on 60-year-old Pico Rivera ranch roofs is often corroded or lifted. Water finds those gaps during the winter rains we do get. We replace step flashing, pipe collars, and valley metal with CertainTeed-compatible materials and document everything with before-and-after photos.
CertainTeed Service in Pico Rivera: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here’s the Pico Rivera-specific reality most roofers don’t spell out: this is one of the few LA-area cities where roofers still routinely find what we call the “Pico Rivera patch.” That’s a second shingle layer laid directly over the original 1950s roof, usually a CertainTeed three-tab or early composition shingle. It was common practice in the 1970s and 80s as a cheap way to squeeze more life out of an aging roof. Current California building codes don’t allow a second overlay, and for good reason: the doubled weight stresses the rafters, trapped heat destroys the new shingles from underneath, and you can’t inspect the decking for rot. On a ranch we worked on near Rosemead Boulevard and Mines Avenue, the original CertainTeed XT 25 shingles had been double-layered back in the 1980s. We tore both layers down to the skip sheathing, replaced rotted decking, and installed a new CertainTeed Landmark roof with ice-and-water shield at the low-slope edge where the old roof always leaked during Santa Ana-driven rain. If your Pico Rivera home has that second layer, a full tear-off and CertainTeed Landmark re-roof is the only code-compliant fix. We’ll tell you straight if that’s what you’re looking at.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Pico Rivera
We service the full range of CertainTeed roofing products found on Pico Rivera homes. That includes Landmark architectural shingles, XT 25 three-tab shingles, Presidential Shake, and Flintlastic SA for flat and low-slope sections. For repairs we use CertainTeed-matched or OEM-grade replacement shingles and accessories so colors and profiles line up, and so any remaining manufacturer coverage stays consistent. We keep common CertainTeed Landmark colors and flashing materials in stock for faster turnaround on Pico Rivera jobs. When a repair calls for a shingle color that’s been discontinued, we’ll tell you before ordering anything, not after. For full replacements, we quote CertainTeed Landmark as our default Roof Replacement in Pico Rivera for the area’s heat and wind profile, with Presidential Shake available when you want the higher-end look.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Pico Rivera
Most CertainTeed shingle repairs in Pico Rivera run between $350 and $850, depending on how many shingles are damaged and how steep or low-slope the section is. Flashing repairs typically land between $400 and $900, especially when we’re replacing corroded step flashing or pipe collars on a 1960s ranch.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Pico Rivera
Because those shingles were over-built for their rating, and Pico Rivera’s dry climate means less moss, less rot, and less water damage than coastal LA. UV exposure and heat are the killers here, and shingles can limp along well past their rated life even as they become brittle and granule-bare. “Still on the roof” and “still protecting the house” are different things. If the shingles are cracking or the granules are gone, the roof is living on borrowed time. Call (626) 389-1956 and we’ll tell you honestly which side of that line your CertainTeed roof is on.
No, not in Pico Rivera, and not under current California building code. Most of the city’s 1950s-60s ranches already have one illegal second layer from the “Pico Rivera patch” era. Adding a third layer won’t pass inspection, and even a second layer on a virgin roof is now prohibited. The code-compliant fix is a full tear-off to the decking, then new CertainTeed underlayment and Landmark shingles. It costs more up front. It also lasts. Call (626) 389-1956 for a tear-off quote and we’ll itemize exactly what’s required.
CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles hold up better than three-tab profiles under Pico Rivera’s sustained 90-plus-degree summers. The laminated construction gives each shingle two layers of material at the stress points, which resists the curling and granule loss we see on old XT 25 three-tabs. Presidential Shake performs well too, but the thicker tabs can still curl on unshaded south-facing slopes. For Pico Rivera’s specific heat and Santa Ana wind profile, we recommend Landmark as the best balance of durability and cost. Call (626) 389-1956 to see Landmark samples and get a written price for your roofline.
The most common failure is at the transition between the low-slope built-up section and the shingled section, usually where the CertainTeed Flintlastic SA cap sheet meets step flashing. Pico Rivera’s dry heat bakes the seam until the adhesive fails, then winter rain gets under the lifted edge. The fix is re-sealing the seam with compatible material and replacing the corroded flashing, not caulking over the gap. We include before-and-after photos of this exact repair on every Pico Rivera job. Call (626) 389-1956 for an estimate before the next rain season.
We repair wind-damaged CertainTeed roofs when the damage is localized, and we replace them when it’s widespread. If a Santa Ana gust tore off a half-dozen XT 25 tabs and the rest of the roof is sound, a repair makes sense. If the tabs were already brittle and dozens more are lifting, you’re patching a roof that’s already finished. Either way, we’ll show you photos of what we found and give you a written price for both options. Call (626) 389-1956 and we’ll get someone on your Pico Rivera roof this week.
