CertainTeed Roofing in Santa Monica, CA | Hollywood Roofing Co
We’re an independent roofing contractor providing CertainTeed inspection, repair, and replacement service across Santa Monica’s 90401, 90402, 90410, and 90411 ZIP codes, plus CertainTeed in Culver City and nearby Westside communities. The one thing that separates CertainTeed work here from anywhere else in LA is the marine layer: roofs two miles from the Pacific sit in near-constant onshore moisture and chloride exposure, so the fasteners and flashings fail years before the shingle or tile shows wear. If you have a CertainTeed roof in Santa Monica, call (833) 589-7971 for a free estimate, or read on to understand exactly what your roof is up against.
Why Santa Monica Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes a lot of products, and they don’t all behave the same way under Santa Monica’s coastal conditions. A Landmark architectural shingle on a north-facing slope in 90402 deals with dampness that a Landmark on a south-facing slope in 90404 never sees. We’ve installed and repaired enough of both to know what fails first and why. Roland Vega, our owner, grew up in Los Feliz and learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, and he’s spent close to three decades working roofs across Hollywood and the westside. What that means for you is simple: we don’t guess at what’s wrong, and we don’t sell replacements when a repair will hold. Call us at (833) 589-7971 forCertainTeed sales & servicethat’s grounded in local experience.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Santa Monica
- Algae streaking and moss on north-facing Landmark slopes. The marine layer in 90402 and 90405 keeps shaded roof planes damp for hours after inland roofs have dried out. That constant moisture feeds algae and moss growth that runs faster than granule loss on the shingle surface. We clean and treat these slopes, then check whether the underlying deck has absorbed enough moisture to need attention.
- Rusted galvanized fasteners and drip edge on salt-exposed roofs. The classic Santa Monica failure: the covering looks serviceable, but the original galvanized nails and metal flashings have quietly rusted through from salt-laden onshore winds. On CertainTeed roofs especially, we see tile and shingle that still has years of life left while the fasteners holding it are a liability.
- Cracked and de-bonded tile underlayment on low-slope porch and parapet roofs. Heat cycling over damp decking works the membrane at valleys and penetrations until it cracks, letting water track under the tile. This is a CertainTeed tile system problem we fix frequently in Santa Monica’s older Spanish Colonial and bungalow blocks.
- Lifted architectural shingles at hips and ridges on mid-century stucco tract roofs. In 90404 and 90405, wind-driven salt spray gets under lifted tabs at the highest sun-exposure points, and the seal strips fail. We see it on CertainTeed Landmark systems on the stucco tracts built in the 1950s and 60s.
- Flashing failures at valleys and penetrations that predate the roof covering. On a 1930s Spanish Colonial Revival in 90402, we stripped a CertainTeed clay barrel tile roof that had been leaking at a north-facing valley for two seasons. The barrel tile was still sound. The original galvanized valley metal beneath it had rusted through. We replaced the valley flashing and the failed underlayment, salvaged and re-laid the intact barrel tile to preserve the roofline, and the leak stopped without a full tile replacement.
CertainTeed Service in Santa Monica: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s a checkable fact that shapes CertainTeed work in Santa Monica more than anywhere else in LA County: the city’s coastal-zone and historic-district review process frequently requires re-roofs to match existing barrel tile and visible rooflines. On older blocks, that means you can’t just swap a Spanish Colonial’s CertainTeed clay tile roof for architectural shingles and call it done. When a CertainTeed tile roof in Santa Monica reaches the point where the underlayment has failed but the tile itself is still sound, the right move is often to lift the tile, replace the underlayment and flashing, and re-lay the original tile. It preserves the roofline, satisfies the city, and costs a fraction of a full tile replacement. Inland roofers rarely face this constraint, which is why we end up repairing and rebuilding CertainTeed tile systems here that other contractors would walk away from or over-scope.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Santa Monica
We work across the CertainTeed product range, including the Landmark architectural shingle series (Landmark Pro included), Presidential Shake and Presidential Solaris lines, XT25 and NorthGate shingles for hot-weather severe exposure, and CertainTeed clay and concrete tile system components and underlayments. On repairs, we use CertainTeed-manufactured ridge caps, starter, and underlayment matched to the field shingle or tile where system performance depends on it. For fasteners and flashing, we use aftermarket parts rated for coastal exposure, because original galvanized fasteners are the first point of failure in Santa Monica’s salt air. We keep the common CertainTeed accessories on hand locally, so your repair doesn’t wait on a distributor.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Santa Monica
CertainTeed repair work in Santa Monica runs from about $350 for a minor flashing repair up to $2,500 or more for a valley replacement with new underlayment and salvaged tile re-lay. Full underlayment replacement on a barrel tile roof in the Spanish Colonial stock runs $8 to $12 per square foot, depending on access and how much tile re-lay is involved. A complete CertainTeed Landmark re-roof on a mid-century stucco tract home in 90404 or 90405 typically lands between $14,000 and $22,000, comparable to our CertainTeed repair in Beverly Hills pricing for similar homes. What drives the cost: the marine layer means we’re often replacing corroded metal, not just surface material. Call (833) 589-7971 for a written estimate that lays out exactly what we found and what it costs to fix.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Santa Monica
Almost certainly the underlayment and flashing beneath the tile. Santa Monica’s salt air corrodes galvanized valley metal and drip edge from the underside while the clay tile above stays intact. We see this on a weekly basis. The fix is to lift the tile in the affected area, replace the failed underlayment and flashing, and re-lay the sound tile. Call (833) 589-7971 for a free estimate.
If your home is in a designated historic district or within the coastal zone, the answer is often no. Santa Monica’s review process requires matching existing materials and visible rooflines on older housing stock. We can tell you what’s possible on your specific block before you commit to anything.
That’s algae growth, and it’s driven by the marine layer. North-facing slopes in 90402 stay damp long after inland roofs dry, and algae colonizes the shaded, moist surface. The shingle itself is usually fine; the fix is treatment and occasional cleaning, not replacement.
If the deck and flashing are still sound, yes. Low-slope porch roofs with CertainTeed architectural shingles often fail at valleys and penetrations first. We’ll inspect the deck, check the flashing, and tell you honestly whether a repair will hold or a replacement section is the right call. Call (833) 589-7971 to schedule an inspection.
We use CertainTeed-manufactured ridge caps, starter, and underlayment matched to the field shingle or tile wherever system performance depends on it. For fasteners and flashing, we use aftermarket parts rated for coastal exposure, because the original galvanized hardware is what fails first in Santa Monica’s salt air.
