Why Van Nuys Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’ve been working on CertainTeed roofs in Van Nuys long enough to know the difference between a shingle that’s failing because of age and one that’s failing because it was installed wrong. Roland Vega, our owner, learned roofing at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent years running crews across the San Fernando Valley, so when he walks a Van Nuys roof he reads the way the tabs are curing, the way the flashing sits at a parapet, the way the membrane’s behaving at the seams. That’s the difference between a repair that holds and one that leaks again in February.
Most of the CertainTeed roofs we work on in Van Nuys are either Landmark architectural shingles on 1950s and 60s tract houses or Flintlastic modified bitumen on low-slope dingbats and apartment blocks. Neither behaves the same way in Burbank or with CertainTeed repair in Encino as it does here. The heat load on a Van Nuys roof in August is brutal, and the wind events in October through December finish what the summer started. We carry genuine CertainTeed shingles, underlayments, and accessories to match existing installations, and we stock quality aftermarket flashing and fasteners where they outperform the OEM piece. That’s an honest parts approach, and it keeps your warranty profile consistent while making sure the repair actually holds.
We’re an independent contractor. Not authorized, sponsored, or endorsed by CertainTeed. Which is exactly why a homeowner in Van Nuys gets a straight answer from us about whether that section of Landmark can be patched or whether the whole field needs to come off.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Van Nuys
- Heat-cured Landmark tabs shearing off in field sections. On south- and west-facing slopes, Van Nuys summer heat bakes Landmark tabs down flat until they seal to the course below. When the first strong Santa Ana gust rolls through, whole sections shear off in sheets rather than lifting shingle by shingle. This is the most common CertainTeed failure we walk in the weeks after a wind event.
- Granule loss on XT 25 and XT 30 three-tabs. The original three-tab CertainTeed shingles on older Van Nuys tract homes lose their granule surfacing fast under Valley sun. Once the mat is exposed, wind-driven debris abrades the edges and the shingle starts taking water. By the time we’re called, the decking underneath often needs attention too.
- Flintlastic membrane peeling at parapet flashing and lap seams. Low-slope and flat CertainTeed Flintlastic roofs on Van Nuys dingbats fail most often at the parapet edge and at the lap seams where the membrane rolls meet. Santa Ana wind lifts the edge, and the rare heavy winter storm drives water straight into the open seam and down onto whatever’s below.
- Soft original wood sheathing under 1940s – 1960s CertainTeed installations. Decades of heat cycling have softened the original sheathing on many Van Nuys tract houses. A shingle-only overlay hides decking that flexes and pops the fasteners loose, which is why we check deck condition before recommending a repair path on any older CertainTeed roof.
- Sidewall and chimney flashing worked loose by wind. The step flashing at sidewalls and chimney bases takes a beating during Santa Ana season on Van Nuys homes. We regularly reset flashing that’s been pulled just far enough out of position to let wind-driven rain find the gap, while the shingles above look perfectly fine.
CertainTeed Service in Van Nuys: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Housing stock in Van Nuys is dominated by post-WWII tract homes and stucco-clad dingbats with low-slope or flat roofs and original wood sheathing. That means a CertainTeed job here often isn’t a straight steep-slope shingle tear-off. It’s membrane and parapet-flashing work on a flat roof that’s been baking since the Eisenhower administration. We were called to a 1950s tract house near Van Nuys Blvd after a fall Santa Ana event where the CertainTeed Landmark field on the west slope had sheared off in one section. The tabs had baked down flat over the summer and the first real gust took them whole. We pulled the sheared course, found soft original sheathing at the eave, replaced the decking, and re-shingled with Landmark Pro matched to the existing field, then reset the step flashing at the sidewall that the wind had worked loose. That’s the kind of job that reads one way on paper and another entirely once you’re on the roof in Van Nuys.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Van Nuys
We work on the full range of CertainTeed roofing products that you’ll actually find on Van Nuys homes and apartment buildings. Landmark architectural shingles are the big one: Landmark, Landmark Pro, and Landmark Presidential all go on homes throughout the 91401, 91405, and 91406 ZIP codes and in nearby areas where we offer Sherman Oaks CertainTeed service. On older tract homes we still see XT 25 and XT 30 three-tabs, and on the flat and low-slope buildings, CertainTeed Flintlastic modified bitumen (both SA and APP) is everywhere. If your CertainTeed shingle line has been discontinued, we’ll work through the closest current match rather than slapping on something that’s close enough. For Flintlastic roofs we stock membrane rolls, tapes, and compatible flashing materials for faster turnarounds on Van Nuys flat-roof repairs. Flashing repair, shingle replacement, and flat roof patches are the three services we do most on CertainTeed systems in this part of the Valley.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Van Nuys
On south- and west-facing Van Nuys slopes, summer heat cures the Landmark tabs down until they seal to the course below, and when a Santa Ana gust hits, the whole field section goes at once instead of shingle by shingle. It’s the signature CertainTeed failure we see after fall wind events in this part of the Valley. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll tell you whether the remaining field is stable or if you’re looking at a replacement conversation.
The membrane edge at the parapet or the lap seams are the typical culprits on Flintlastic flat roofs in Van Nuys. Santa Ana wind lifts the edge little by little all fall, and when the rare heavy winter storm arrives, water finds the open seam and ponds. We inspect the laps and parapet first, before tearing into anything else.
We can get close, but we won’t promise an exact match on a shingle that’s been cooking in the Van Nuys sun since the Johnson administration. Color batches change, granules fade at different rates, and what’s on your roof today doesn’t exist in a warehouse. We’ll show you the closest current CertainTeed match and talk honestly about whether a section patch will look acceptable or whether it’s time for the whole field to come off. Call (833) 589-7971 for a free estimate either way.
We focus on CertainTeed asphalt roofing: Landmark shingles, XT three-tabs, and Flintlastic modified bitumen. Those are the systems we see on Van Nuys homes and apartment buildings every week, and they’re where our repair depth actually lives.
Shallow-pitch roofs are one of the places where Van Nuys installers get into trouble. CertainTeed’s shingle lines have minimum slope requirements, and on roofs below that threshold we won’t shingle it just because it’s cheaper. We’ll quote the right system for the pitch, usually a Flintlastic membrane with proper parapet flashing. Call (833) 589-7971 to have us check the pitch and tell you what actually belongs on that roof.
