CertainTeed Roofing in Lakewood, CA | Hollywood Roofing Co
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Lakewood, CA and nearby communities, including CertainTeed service in Paramount, handling everything from targeted shingle replacement to full tear-off and re-deck work on the city’s mid-century tract homes. What makes our CertainTeed work different here isn’t a manufacturer badge. It’s knowing exactly how CertainTeed shingles behave on the original skip sheathing and shallow-pitch roofs that define 90712 and 90713. If your CertainTeed roof is showing its age, call (833) 589-7971 for a free estimate from Hollywood Roofing Co.
Why Lakewood Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’re not a CertainTeed-authorized installer, and we won’t pretend otherwise. But our crew has spent years diagnosing and repairing CertainTeed Landmark, Landmark Pro, and XT 25 roofs across Lakewood’s post-war tract housing, where the failures follow patterns you only learn by getting up on the roof and looking. Roland Vega, our owner, grew up in Los Feliz and learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. He’s spent the better part of three decades on Southern California roofs, and he’ll tell you the same thing he tells every Lakewood homeowner: this city’s dry, UV-heavy climate punishes certain shingle weaknesses that wetter climates never expose.
We work across all seven major roofing brands, including CertainTeed, so our recommendation isn’t tied to a supplier relationship. When CertainTeed is the right call, we use the brand’s OEM accessories where they match the existing system. When they don’t, we say so and recommend a compatible alternative matched to your home. You get an honest read on your roof’s condition, not a sales pitch dressed up as a roof inspection.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Lakewood
- Granule loss and fiberglass mat exposure on Landmark shingles. In Lakewood’s dry heat, south-facing slopes take a beating. After 12 to 15 years, we regularly see Landmark architectural shingles losing their surface granules, leaving the fiberglass mat bare and brittle. It’s UV degradation, not storm damage. Once the mat is exposed, it’s a countdown to leaks.
- Cracked XT 25 three-tab shingles at the eaves. The original tract homes in Lakewood were often roofed with three-tab shingles, and CertainTeed XT 25 was a common upgrade. Decades of thermal cycling leaves them brittle. They crack and tear at the eaves first, especially where original bird stops block the little ventilation these roofs ever had.
- Wrinkled synthetic underlayment on low-slope roofs. CertainTeed’s synthetic underlayments perform well when installed over a properly vented deck. On Lakewood’s low-slope roofs with minimal attic airflow, they can wrinkle or trap moisture against the deck, causing rot that looks like shingle failure from the outside. We check the attic before blaming the shingles.
- Shingle cracking along rafter lines on Landmark Pro. When Landmark Pro shingles are installed directly over old skip sheathing without re-decking, the gaps between boards telegraph through. Shingles crack along those rafter lines within a few years. It’s an installation shortcut, and we see it often enough in Lakewood that we always inspect the decking before quoting a reroof.
- Eave failures that turn out to be ventilation problems. When a CertainTeed shingle fails at the eave in Lakewood, the shingle is often the symptom, not the cause. Trapped attic heat and dry rot in the original sheathing underneath are the real culprits. A repair that ignores ventilation just sets up the next failure.
CertainTeed Service in Lakewood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
In Lakewood’s Lakewood Park and Mayfair tracts, the original shallow-pitch roofs were typically framed with 2×6 rafters, skip sheathing, and no eave venting beyond simple bird stops. That’s a specific combination, and it changes how CertainTeed shingles age. When a Landmark or XT 25 shingle fails at the eave here, it’s usually a sign of trapped attic heat and deck rot, not just sun damage. The shingle didn’t give up on its own. It was cooked from both sides. Practically, that means any reroof in these neighborhoods must include a ventilation upgrade, often continuous ridge venting, to meet current code and keep the new shingles from repeating the same failure. A roofer who quotes a shingle swap without opening the attic or checking the decking isn’t doing Lakewood work. We’ve torn off enough of these roofs to know the rot is waiting there. This is what gets missed when you hire a generalist who doesn’t know what Lakewood’s mid-century construction actually looks like under the shingles.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Lakewood
We service the CertainTeed product lines most common on Lakewood homes: Landmark, Landmark Pro, XT 25, and Presidential Shake. For repairs, we use CertainTeed OEM accessories like their underlayments and starter strips when they match the existing system. On older roofs, we often recommend aftermarket flashing and ventilation components that outperform OEM in this dry heat. If the shingle mat is failing across more than 20% of the roof, we’ll tell you repair is a stopgap, not a solution. Below that threshold, targeted shingle replacement with compatible materials extends the roof’s life without tearing off a system that still has years left. We keep common CertainTeed colors and accessory lines available locally, so Lakewood repairs don’t stall waiting on a warehouse order from across the county.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Lakewood
CertainTeed roofing work in Lakewood runs from about $450 to $900 for a typical targeted repair like eave shingle replacement or flashing work, up to $12,000 to $25,000 or more for a full tear-off, re-deck, and Landmark Pro install on a standard mid-century tract home. What drives the cost here is the decking underneath. Homes with original skip sheathing often need a full re-deck to meet code, and that adds material and labor before the first shingle goes down. A free estimate from us includes an attic inspection, a look at the decking where accessible, and a written line-item quote. No vague numbers. Call (833) 589-7971 to schedule yours.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Lakewood
Landmark architectural shingles can work on low-slope Lakewood roofs, but the installation details matter more than the shingle itself. The original skip sheathing has to be addressed, and ventilation needs an upgrade, or the new shingles will fail at the eaves the same way the old ones did. We don’t install Landmark over an unvented, undecked 1950s roof without fixing those conditions first. Call (833) 589-7971 if you want us to look at your specific roof before you commit to a product.
Check where the damage is. UV degradation shows up as granule loss and mat exposure across the entire south-facing slope. Ventilation failure shows up as cracking and curling concentrated at the eaves, often with visible deck rot underneath when we lift a shingle. In Lakewood, we see both, but eave-focused damage almost always points to trapped attic heat. A roof inspection that includes an attic check tells you which problem you’re actually paying to fix.
Yes, if the decking is sound and the shingle mat isn’t failing across more than about 20% of the roof. We’ve done countless targeted repairs on CertainTeed roofs in Lakewood and Bellflower CertainTeed service calls where a failed flashing or a cracked eave shingle was the only issue. But if the decking is rotted or the shingles are brittle across large sections, we’ll tell you straight that repair is a temporary patch, not a fix. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll give you an honest condition report, not a sales push.
CertainTeed’s synthetic underlayments are a solid choice when the roof deck is properly vented. On Lakewood’s low-slope, minimally vented tract homes, we sometimes recommend an alternative that handles trapped moisture better, or we pair the CertainTeed underlayment with added ridge venting so it performs the way it was designed to. The underlayment decision is never one-size-fits-all here. It depends on your attic, your slope, and your existing decking.
On most Lakewood tract homes, a tear-off is the honest answer. The original skip sheathing often has dry rot at the eaves and in the valleys, and current code requires a solid deck before new shingles go on. Overlaying hides the rot and sets up the same eave failures that killed the first roof. We’ll only recommend an overlay if your decking is verified sound and your roof hasn’t already been overlaid once. Call (833) 589-7971 for an assessment of your specific situation.
