CertainTeed Roofing in Irvine, CA | Hollywood Roofing Co
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Irvine, from inspections and targeted repairs to full underlayment replacement on concrete tile roofs. What makes our CertainTeed work different here is simple: Irvine’s master-planned tracts mean whole streets of homes built in the same decade with the same tile profiles, and many of them are failing the same way at the same time. We know those failure patterns because we see them every week across the 92617, 92618, 92619, and 92620 ZIP codes. If your CertainTeed roof is leaking, cracked, or showing its age, call Hollywood Roofing Co at (833) 589-7971 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Roland Vega, our owner, grew up in Los Feliz and learned the trade at LA Trade-Tech before spending nearly three decades on roofs across Southern California. Under his lead, we’ve built our reputation on honest assessments, not sales pressure. For more on how we work with the full CertainTeed line, see our CertainTeed sales & service page.
Why Irvine Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes a broad line of roofing products, and not every contractor knows the differences between Landmark shingles, Presidential Shake, Flintlastic modified bitumen, and the DiamondDeck and RoofRunner underlayments that sit beneath Irvine’s concrete barrel tile. We do. Our team works across seven major brands (GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral), so when we recommend a CertainTeed product or repair approach, it’s because it fits your home and budget, not because a supplier incentivized us to push it.
That independence matters here. Irvine has specific architectural standards and HOA rules that don’t exist in a city like Santa Ana or Tustin. We know how those rules interact with CertainTeed in North Tustin and Irvine alike, and we don’t get caught off guard by a color-match requirement or a plan-check snag. Seven leading brands. One honest recommendation. That’s the way we’ve always done it.
We also work fast when it’s needed. For a lift-and-relay underlayment job on a leaking tile roof in Irvine, we can often be on site within days, not weeks. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll tell you what we’re seeing over the phone, then confirm it in person.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Irvine
- Baked-brittle underlayment beneath intact 1970s-80s barrel tile. The tile looks fine from the curb, but the felt underlayment underneath has been cooked by decades of Irvine’s rainless summers and intense UV. The first big winter rain finds the cracks and the ceiling stains show up in the living room. We lift the tile, replace the underlayment with CertainTeed DiamondDeck or RoofRunner, and relay the original tile.
- Santa Ana wind damage on tile roofs. October and November bring gusts that lift and flip field tiles, especially at ridge caps and edge courses where the original nails have corroded after 30-plus years. We replace broken tile with matching profiles and re-secure the perimeter.
- UV degradation of asphalt shingles and sealants on west- and south-facing slopes. Irvine’s hot, dry summers are brutal on CertainTeed Landmark shingles, particularly on tract homes with large unshaded south elevations. Sealants dry out, granules shed, and shingles curl at the edges. We assess whether a repair buys you years or whether replacement is the honest call.
- Valley and flashing failures where shingles or Flintlastic membrane meet tile transitions. The intersection between a pitched tile roof and a flat-roof tie-in on a tract home is where we find most recurring leaks. The flashing corrodes, the membrane delaminates, and water follows the seam under the tile. We rebuild these transitions with proper CertainTeed materials and detail work that holds.
- Concrete tile that’s outlived its underlayment but not its lifespan. Concrete tile routinely lasts 50-plus years in Irvine. The underlayment beneath it doesn’t. We’re often asked to quote a full re-roof when what the home actually needs is a lift-and-relay underlayment job at a fraction of the price. We’ll tell you which one you need, and we can point you to a re-roof only when it’s genuinely warranted.
CertainTeed Service in Irvine: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
The most common CertainTeed-related failure we see in Irvine is not a shingle problem at all. It’s an underlayment problem hiding under perfectly good concrete barrel tile. Here’s the pattern: a 1970s or 1980s master-planned tract, Mediterranean-style home, original concrete tile roof over plywood sheathing. The tile itself is still doing its job. But the felt underlayment beneath it has baked brittle in the sun. When the first winter rain arrives, water finds a crack in the felt and works its way down to the ceiling below. The homeowner calls us, certain they need a new roof. They don’t. They need a lift-and-relay underlayment replacement, and that’s a much smaller job. In Irvine, though, that smaller job comes with a catch: the HOA. Many of Irvine’s HOAs and architectural-review committees require homeowners to match the exact original concrete tile profile and color when re-roofing or even doing underlayment work that disturbs the tile. That means we can’t just grab any tile from a supply yard. We have to source or match the specific profile and color for your tract. We’ve done this across Irvine for years, and we know which tile profiles show up in which neighborhoods. That local knowledge matters more than any product brochure.
One more thing about Irvine’s climate: we don’t deal with freeze-thaw the way inland cities do. Our roofing issues concentrate in the winter rains and wind-lifted tiles from CertainTeed service in Aliso Viejo and Santa Ana events. That changes what we inspect for and how we sequence repairs. It also means the best time to address your CertainTeed roof is before the rainy season, not during it.
If you’re in the Irvine service area and wondering what condition your underlayment is in, we can tell you with a standalone roof inspection. Know exactly what your roof needs, nothing more.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Irvine
We install, repair, and service the CertainTeed products most common on Irvine homes: Landmark architectural shingles for re-roofs on homes that have switched from tile or need a cost-effective asphalt replacement; Presidential Shake and Presidential TL for homeowners who want the look of wood shake without the fire risk; Flintlastic modified bitumen for the low-slope and flat sections we see on Irvine Business Complex buildings and some apartment structures; and DiamondDeck and RoofRunner underlayments, which are the workhorses of our tile underlayment replacement jobs.
Our parts philosophy is straightforward. We specify CertainTeed OEM underlayments and matching accessories whenever they’re available. When the original tile or component is no longer in production, we source quality aftermarket tile-matching products that preserve the look your HOA requires. We don’t cut corners with generic materials just to shave a few dollars off the bid. The roof has to hold, and in Irvine, it also has to match.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Irvine
Roof pricing in Irvine depends on the product, the scope, and what we find when we lift the tile. Here’s what you can expect based on the work we do most often in this city:
- Tile underlayment replacement (lift-and-relay): $4.50 to $6.50 per square foot, depending on the deck condition and how much tile has to be reset. A typical 2,000-square-foot Irvine tract roof lands between $9,000 and $13,000.
- Targeted repairs (flashing, valley, tile reset): $450 to $1,200 for most small-to-medium jobs. We’ll give you a written line-item quote before we start.
- Full re-roof with CertainTeed Landmark shingles: $6.00 to $8.00 per square foot, or roughly $12,000 to $16,000 for a 2,000-square-foot re-roof including tear-off.
- Full re-roof with CertainTeed concrete tile or Flintlastic low-slope membrane: $12.00 to $18.00 per square foot, depending on tile profile availability and flat-roof complexity.
Every estimate is free, and it’s a real estimate: we get on the roof, inspect what’s actually going on, and give you a written breakdown you can compare. No vague numbers, no pressure to sign on the spot. Call (833) 589-7971 for an exact quote.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Irvine
Probably not. In most cases in Irvine, the concrete tile is still in good shape, but the underlayment beneath it has baked brittle in the sun and failed. The fix is a lift-and-relay underlayment replacement, not a full re-roof. We lift and stack the original tile, replace the underlayment with CertainTeed DiamondDeck or RoofRunner, and relay the tile. That runs $4.50 to $6.50 per square foot versus $12 to $18 per square foot for a full tile re-roof. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll tell you which one you actually need.
It depends on your community’s architectural review standards. Many Irvine HOAs require homeowners to match the exact original concrete tile profile and color, which usually means sticking with tile, not switching to shingles. Some newer or more flexible communities allow CertainTeed Landmark or Presidential Shake as an as-phalt alternative if the colors and profiles are consistent with neighboring homes. We work with the HOA approval process regularly and can help you prepare the right submittal.
We specify CertainTeed DiamondDeck and RoofRunner underlayments for most Irvine tile roof jobs. DiamondDeck is a high-performance synthetic underlayment that holds up to our heat and UV exposure far better than the original felt. RoofRunner is a lighter, budget-conscious synthetic that still outperforms traditional felt. The choice depends on your roof’s pitch, deck condition, and budget.
Yes, with proper installation. CertainTeed Landmark is a fiberglass-reinforced architectural shingle that holds its own in hot, dry conditions. The key in Irvine is ventilation and fastener quality. Many shingle failures we see on older Irvine homes trace back to poor nailing or insufficient attic airflow, not the shingle itself. When we install Landmark, we pay attention to both.
Maybe, but not necessarily. We see Flintlastic modified bitumen failures at seams, drains, and parapet tie-ins, especially on buildings where the membrane has been through multiple patch repairs. The real question is whether the original installation was detailed properly. We’ll trace the leak to its source, tell you if it’s a membrane failure or a flashing issue, and quote the right fix. Call (833) 589-7971 for an on-site assessment.
