How CertainTeed Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

CertainTeed makes good roofing. But every product line has weak points, and Long Beach’s salt air, sun exposure, and occasional heavy rain find them faster than a mild inland climate would. Here’s what we see most often on CertainTeed roofs in Long Beach:

• Landmark shingles granulating early on west-facing slopes. The Landmark series holds up well, but we regularly replace sections on homes near the water where afternoon sun and salt spray work the same corner of the roof for years. The surface looks bare, the shingles get brittle, and small cracks follow. We pull the affected slope, inspect the underlayment, and re-roof it with fresh CertainTeed product matched to the existing color where possible.
• Presidential Shake lifting at the butt edge. Presidential Shake is heavy and handsome, but on older Long Beach homes the original install sometimes skipped enough nails. You’ll see the bottom edge curling up after a wind event. If caught early, we can re-secure and seal. Once the mat is compromised, replacement is the honest call.
• Flashing failures around chimneys and skylights on bungalows near Belmont Shore. The shingles are rarely the problem on these older roofs. It’s the flashing. Salt air corrodes galvanized metal, and once the seal breaks, water follows. Erik Lindgren has seen this enough times to check the flashing before assuming the shingles are done. We replace with corrosion-resistant material and seat it properly, which means pulling the surrounding courses and re-laying them.
• Flat roof seams on CertainTeed Flintlastic systems. Flintlastic is a solid modified bitumen product, but seams open when the roof takes standing water or the original torch-down wasn’t fully bonded. Long Beach flat roofs on 1920s Spanish-style homes see this a lot. We can repair open seams with heat-welded patches that tie into the existing membrane, then check the drainage so water stops pooling in the same spot.
• Vent pipe collars cracking on roofs over 15 years old. This isn’t unique to CertainTeed, but we see it often enough on CertainTeed roofs to flag it. A cracked rubber collar around a plumbing vent lets water run down the pipe and into the ceiling. It’s a small repair that causes big damage if ignored. We replace the collar, check the pipe boot, and reseal everything before it rains again.

Our CertainTeed Roofing Company Process

Every CertainTeed job we do in Long Beach follows the same path, whether it’s a $400 repair or a full replacement. Here’s what to expect:

1. 1
   Call and describe what you’re seeing. A live person takes your call at (562) 512-7366. We’ll ask about leaks, age of the roof, and any recent storms or wind events. We schedule a time that works for you.
2. 2
   We inspect the roof and the attic. A background-checked, uniformed technician walks the roof, checks the attic from inside, and photographs what we find. We put shoe covers on at the door and lay drop cloths through the hallway before bringing anything inside.
3. 3
   Written diagnosis and price in dollars. You get a line-item written price before any work begins. That includes parts, labor, and disposal. If we see something that can wait another season, Erik will tell you that too.
4. 4
   Parts decision, discussed with you. On CertainTeed work, we always try to match the existing product. If the exact series or color is discontinued, we’ll show you the closest current CertainTeed option and explain the difference before ordering. We never substitute a cheaper brand without telling you first.
5. 5
   The repair or replacement. Our crew protects the home throughout: drop cloths, contained debris, and a site walk at the end. If you have a dog, we coordinate the door schedule with you so no one makes a break for it.
6. 6
   Clean-up photo and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Before the crew leaves, we photograph the completed clean-up and the finished work. Every job is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we make it right.

What CertainTeed Roofing Company Costs in Long Beach

Repair pricing depends on what failed and how much of the roof is involved. Here are real ranges for common CertainTeed jobs we handle in Long Beach:

• Shingle replacement (a few square feet after wind damage): $350 – $650
• Flashing repair around a chimney or skylight: $500 – $1,200
• Vent pipe collar replacement: $250 – $450

What moves the price: roof pitch, number of stories, how many layers need to come off, and whether the decking underneath is sound. We don’t guess and we don’t pad. You’ll see your exact number in writing, and that number won’t change once work starts unless we find hidden rot under the old roof, in which case we’ll show you photos and get your sign-off before spending another dollar.

Why Long Beach Homeowners Call Birchbark Roofing Long Beach for CertainTeed Work

We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family of independent local roofing businesses since 2000, and every CertainTeed job we do carries two things in writing: a written price and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. No fine print, no pushback.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s walking through your door and onto your roof. We work with CertainTeed, GAF, and Owens Corning, so if a CertainTeed product is discontinued or backordered, we can offer a comparable alternative without starting from scratch. And because Long Beach is our home turf, we know how the salt air near the coast, the heavier sun on south-facing slopes, and the older housing stock in neighborhoods like Belmont Shore and Alamitos Heights affect how roofing materials age out here.

The name on our trucks comes from birch bark, one of the first roofing materials people ever used: light, tough, and made to shed water. The idea sticks with us. A roof should do its job quietly, and the people who work on it should treat your home like a home, not a job site.
