CertainTeed Roofing in North Hills, CA | Huntington Beach Roofers
We provide independent CertainTeed in Northridge and across North Hills, from full Landmark tear-offs on 1950s ranch homes to Flintlastic patch work on low-slope additions. The thing that makes our CertainTeed work different here is ventilation: most North Hills roofs don’t fail from water first, they fail from heat. We inspect first, recommend second, and we’ll tell you honestly whether your CertainTeed roof needs a patch or a full replacement. Call (833) 467-4901 for a free estimate.
Why North Hills Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Seven brands. One contractor. We carry one of the widest roofing portfolios in the trade, and CertainTeed is a big part of it. Neil Stratton, our owner, grew up in Bolsa Chica and has spent more than two decades working on roofs all over Southern California. He’ll tell you exactly why a CertainTeed Landmark shingle behaves differently on a North Hills south slope than it does three miles closer to the coast. We know how CertainTeed products age in the Valley’s inland heat because we’ve torn off enough of them to see the failure patterns repeat. From the first inspection to the final shingle, you’re dealing with one contractor relationship, not a hand-off between a sales team and a subcontract crew.
We’re an independent CertainTeed sales & service contractor. We are not authorized, endorsed, or sponsored by CertainTeed. What we are is experienced with their systems and straight about when a repair makes sense versus a full replacement. In North Hills service area neighborhoods, that honesty matters because heat damage often looks worse than it is, and sometimes it looks fine when it isn’t.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in North Hills
- Heat blistering on south and west CertainTeed Landmark slopes. North Hills roof-surface temperatures routinely exceed 160°F in summer. The asphalt in architectural shingles oxidizes fast under that load, and the first sign is raised blisters that eventually crack open. We see this on nearly every tear-off in 91343 where the original shingles have hit the 15-year mark.
- Premature granule loss from undersized attic ventilation. The 1950s and 60s tract homes here were built with eave vents sized for a different era. Attic temps can push past 140°F, cooking shingles from below. CertainTeed Landmark shingles lose granules early when the underside bakes, and the roof looks 25 years old at year 12.
- Sealant strip failure after repeated thermal cycling. North Hills gets hot days and cool nights, and that daily expansion-contraction cycle works on shingle sealant strips. When Santa Ana winds hit, west-facing roof planes with failed sealant strips shed tabs. We re-seal or replace affected shingles and check the rest of the plane for imminent failures.
- Ponding failures on CertainTeed Flintlastic low-slope sections. Many North Hills homes have original low-slope built-up roofs that were never re-sloped before a Flintlastic membrane went on. Standing water after winter rains finds seams and flashing laps. The membrane field itself usually holds; it’s the details that fail.
- Vent boot and flashing deterioration from UV exposure. The rubber and plastic components on a roof degrade faster under Valley UV than the shingles themselves do. We replace cracked vent boots and corroded flashing before they become leak sources, often during a routine standalone inspection.
CertainTeed Service in North Hills: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here’s the thing no generic roofing page will tell you. North Hills sits near CertainTeed in San Fernando in the Valley’s hottest inland pocket. The post-WWII tract homes that dominate ZIP 91343 were built with shallow-pitch roofs and minimal attic ventilation. The original eave vents are often undersized for today’s code by half. That means the first sign of CertainTeed shingle trouble here is usually heat blistering and alligatoring on south and west slopes, not a leak. By the time water shows up on a ceiling, the shingles have been failing for years.
We saw exactly this on a 1962 ranch house off Orion Avenue. The homeowner called about a ceiling stain. Our inspection found the CertainTeed Landmark shingles on the south slope already blistered and alligatoring, and the attic was reading 145°F. The leak was a secondary symptom. The real problem was the original eave vents being half the size they should be. We tore off the failed shingles, added a ridge vent and larger eave vents, then installed new CertainTeed Landmark with a matching starter strip and ridge cap. The stain stopped. The roof stopped cooking itself. We now check ventilation on every CertainTeed job in North Hills because it’s the difference between a roof that lasts 30 years and one that’s done at 15.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in North Hills
North Hills is one of the hottest inland pockets near Valley Glen CertainTeed service and the San Fernando Valley. Summer roof-surface temperatures routinely exceed 160°F, and the 1950s – 60s tract homes here have attic ventilation that was undersized even when new. That combination bakes CertainTeed architectural shingles from above and below, oxidizing the asphalt and causing blisters years earlier than you’d see in, say, Sherman Oaks or Encino. The fix is ventilation correction first, shingle replacement second. Call (833) 467-4901 and we’ll check your attic temps during the estimate.
Usually, yes. Ponding on Flintlastic sections in North Hills is almost always a seam or flashing-lap problem, not a membrane field failure. We locate the standing water path, re-seam the affected laps, and address the flashing detail that’s letting water in. If the original roof was never re-sloped, we’ll tell you honestly whether adding tapered insulation makes more sense than patching again. Call (833) 467-4901 for an exact scope and price.
For anything that touches the CertainTeed system warranty, we use OEM: ridge caps, starter strips, and approved underlayments matched to your product line. For vent boots and flashing, we use the best-performing option for the detail, which is sometimes an aftermarket part that outperforms the OEM spec. We’ll tell you which is which and why before the work starts.
In North Hills, unfortunately yes. The south and west slopes take the full brunt of Valley summer sun, and if your attic ventilation is original to a 1950s or 60s tract home, those shingles are degrading from underneath too. A 12-year-old CertainTeed Landmark roof with heavy granule loss on the south slope usually points to a ventilation problem, not a shingle defect—something we also see with CertainTeed repair in Van Nuys. We’ll inspect and tell you whether re-roofing the affected slope plus adding vents is the right move, or whether the whole roof needs doing. Estimates are free at (833) 467-4901.
Skip sheathing, the spaced-board decking common on 1950s North Hills tract homes, complicates shingle repairs because there are gaps between boards. We repair the deck as needed, installing solid sheathing where the CertainTeed shingles will be fastened, then lay the new shingles with fasteners that hit solid wood. We won’t nail into gaps and call it done. This is a detail we check on every repair estimate in 91343.
