CertainTeed Roofing in Placentia, CA | Hollywood Roofing Co
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Placentia’s 92870 and 92871 ZIP codes, from Landmark shingles to Flintlastic low-slope systems. What sets our CertainTeed work apart here is that we know exactly what Santa Ana winds and original 1950s skip sheathing do to these roofs, because we’ve been tearing into Placentia’s mid-century tract homes for decades. Call (833) 589-7971 for a straight answer and a free estimate. Hollywood Roofing Co installs and services seven major brands, which means our CertainTeed recommendation comes from what’s right for your Placentia home, not a dealer program.
Why Placentia Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes excellent roofing material. Landmark, Presidential Shake, Grand Manor, Flintlastic. We know these product lines the way a mechanic knows engine families. The real skill is understanding how they behave on Placentia’s specific housing stock. Mid-century single-story ranch homes with low pitches. Original clay tile and wood shake that should have been replaced twenty years ago. 1970s two-story tracts with aging asphalt. We’ve worked all of it.
Roland Vega, our owner, learned roofing at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent the better part of thirty years on roofs across Southern California. He grew up in Los Feliz, close enough to the Hollywood Hills to know what a punishing Santa Ana wind can do to a roof that wasn’t installed right. That experience shows up in how we approach a Placentia CertainTeed job. We use CertainTeed-branded ridge caps, starter strip, and underlayment matched to the shingle line, never generic parts mixed in. And because we carry multiple manufacturer lines, we’ll tell you honestly whether CertainTeed is the right fit or whether another brand makes more sense for your budget. A roof doesn’t ask for much, just that you pay attention before it has to ask loudly.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Placentia
- Santa Ana wind uplift on Landmark ridge caps and shingle tabs. The exposed ridgelines and rake edges of Placentia’s mid-century ranch homes take the brunt of northeast winds. We see Landmark architectural shingles stripped along the perimeter while the field shingle stays intact. The fix starts with proper nailing patterns and CertainTeed starter strip, not just slapping replacement tabs over the damage.
- Shingle cracking along original skip sheathing board lines. Many 1950s and 60s Placentia homes still have spaced-board sheathing under the roof. CertainTeed shingles telegraph those gaps as the decking moves through hot dry summers. Cracks form along the board lines and water gets into the felt. This one rarely gets fixed by patching shingles; the decking underneath is the problem.
- Premature granule loss on shingles installed over old layers. We see newer CertainTeed courses laid directly over original wood shake underlayment or old composition that was never stripped. That trapped heat and moisture blisters the shingle and sheds granules years early. In Placentia’s inland heat, this accelerates fast.
- Flintlastic tie-in failures at porch and addition transitions. Placentia ranch homes frequently have flat porch roofs or later additions that tie into a steep shingle plane. The joint where Flintlastic meets CertainTeed shingles cracks and ponds. Winter rain finds it every time.
- Discontinued tile and shake matching after wind events. After a Santa Ana windstorm, we get calls for cracked clay tile and lifted wood shake on older Placentia homes. The original material is often no longer manufactured, so we source salvaged or near-profile tile that reads correctly from the street.
CertainTeed Service in Placentia: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Placentia’s historic downtown and the surrounding mid-century ranch blocks carry original clay tile and wood shake that is frequently no longer manufactured. That is a sourcing problem that rarely comes up in neighboring cities built out with shingle tract roofs. After a Santa Ana wind event, we’re matching salvaged or near-profile tile rather than buying new. On the CertainTeed side, this matters because the shingle slopes adjacent to those old tile planes need an assembly that ties in cleanly. We re-deck to solid sheathing where skip boards have failed, set a Class A fire-rated CertainTeed assembly on the shingle slopes, and match the remaining sound tile over new underlayment on the tile plane. That is the kind of work you can’t spec from a catalog. On a 1950s single-story ranch near the historic downtown, a wind event had lifted and cracked original wood shakes and clay tile on the front slope. The homeowner wanted it brought back without a mismatched patch. When we tore down to the skip sheathing we found the original felt dust and spaced boards had pulled loose, so we re-decked, set the CertainTeed assembly, and matched the tile. From the street it read as the original roof. The winter leaks stopped.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Placentia
We work on Landmark architectural shingles including Landmark Pro, Presidential Shake TL, Grand Manor luxury shingles, and Flintlestic modified bitumen for low-slope and flat sections. For repairs we use CertainTeed-branded accessory components matched to the shingle line. Ridge caps, starter strip, underlayment. The assembly performs as designed when the parts belong together. When a Placentia roof has a slope that can be repaired cleanly with a current-production match, we repair it. When the old felt or decking underneath is already failing, we’re honest that a full tear-off to decking is the only fix that lasts. CertainTeed sales & service across Placentia runs on that distinction.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Placentia
Yes, in most cases we can source salvaged or near-profile tile and shake that reads correctly from the street. Placentia’s older ranch blocks were built with materials that are no longer in production, so this is a regular part of our work here. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll take a look at the slope and tell you what’s matchable.
Almost always, yes. Skip sheathing was common in 1950s and 60s Placentia construction. CertainTeed shingles need a solid, continuous deck to perform, and the spaced boards telegraph through with thermal movement. We re-deck to solid sheathing before laying the new CertainTeed assembly. This is typically at least half a day of added work, so it shows up in the estimate.
We do. Placentia’s inland fire climate makes Class A a common request and a sensible upgrade. CertainTeed in Anaheim and here in Placentia, Landmark and Grand Manor lines carry Class A fire ratings when installed per manufacturer spec with the proper accessories. We’ll spec it that way from the start.
Flat and low-slope sections, often Flintlastic in Placentia’s porch and addition designs, can often be repaired independently of the shingle slopes. The trouble spot is the tie-in where the flat section meets the steep plane. If the surrounding shingle slope is sound, we repair the flat section and the joint. If the whole roof is near end of life, we’ll tell you that too. Call (833) 589-7971 for an honest read.
No. Hollywood Roofing Co is an independent CertainTeed in Fullerton and Placentia service provider.
