CertainTeed Roofing in Burbank, CA | Huntington Beach Roofers
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Burbank, from tear-offs in the 91502 flatlands to full re-roofs in the Verdugo-adjacent 91501 and 91504 foothills. If you need Roof Repair – Burbank, we handle that too. The thing that sets our CertainTeed work apart here is this: we deal with the city’s 1940s and 1950s housing stock every week, and most of it was originally wood shake or hot-mop, which means a shingle job in Burbank usually becomes a tear-off and re-deck before the first CertainTeed Landmark ever goes down. Not an overlay. Not a shortcut.
Call (833) 467-4901 and we’ll walk the roof first, tell you what’s actually there, and give you a straight answer on whether CertainTeed is the right move for your house.
Why Burbank Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We know Landmark, Presidential, XT25, and Flintlastic as more than model names in a catalog. Neil Stratton, who leads our team, spent years diagnosing and tearing off roofs across the San Fernando Valley, including plenty of Burbank’s post-war tracts and foothill properties, plus work on CertainTeed in North Hollywood. What he’s learned is that CertainTeed assemblies behave a certain way under Burbank’s specific conditions, and you can only know that by working on them here, through actual seasons of heat and wind.
We’re an independent contractor, not a manufacturer affiliate. That matters because our recommendation doesn’t bend toward one brand’s inventory. If CertainTeed is the right material for your roof, we’ll say so. If it isn’t, we carry six other lines and we’ll say that instead.
For Burbank homeowners, that independence means genuine OEM CertainTeed shingles, starter strips, and ridge caps when we do recommend the brand, paired with quality flashing and underlayment, never cheap substitutes. We service CertainTeed sales & service across the San Fernando Valley, and Burbank is a big part of that footprint.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Burbank
These are the five failures we see most often on CertainTeed roofs in this city, tied to what Burbank actually does to a roof:
- Heat-driven granule loss on south- and west-facing slopes. Burbank sees 100°F-plus summer days every year, and shingle slopes that face the afternoon sun age years ahead of the shaded side. We’ll see a Landmark field where the exposed slope has shed granules down to bare asphalt while the north slope still looks fresh. The fix is a matched-section replacement using the correct color lot, not a full re-roof.
- Ridge cap and rake uplift after Santa Ana wind events. In the 91501 and 91504 foothill streets, certain winds strip ridge caps and rake shingles while the field below stays intact. We replace the failed caps, refasten the rake edges for uplift resistance, and check the underlying fastening pattern.
- Valley and flashing leaks on 1940s – 50s tract homes with additions. Older Burbank homes often have a detached garage, a rear addition, or a patio cover tied in at an odd angle. The tie-in flashing was frequently never rebuilt when the addition went on, so water gets in at the valley or at a chimney or skylight penetration while the shingles themselves are fine.
- Flatland homes where aged hot-mop sections fail while the CertainTeed shingles read as fine. This is common near the airport and studios. The old built-up roof edge or a rusted fastener gives out in the first heavy winter rain, and the leak shows up in the living room even though the shingle field above looks perfect. We trace it back to the flat section that needs Flintlastic SA or a full replacement.
- Original wood shake roofs that were never converted properly. Many of Burbank’s 1,000 – 1,500 sq ft tract homes still have original shake or shake remnants under later roofing. When we’re called for a CertainTeed quote, the answer is frequently a full tear-off and re-deck before any new shingle goes down.
CertainTeed Service in Burbank: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing about Burbank that changes how CertainTeed work actually gets done: this city is essentially built out, and the housing stock dates largely to the 1940s and 1950s, with many homes originally roofed in wood shake or low-slope hot-mop. What that means for a homeowner calling us about CertainTeed shingles is simple. You can’t just shingle over that. The original skip sheathing under old shake often has gaps, and the flat-to-pitch tie-ins at the rear additions were never detailed to modern standards. A proper CertainTeed re-roof in Burbank becomes a tear-off, a re-deck with solid sheathing, new underlayment, and then the shingle system, with the low-slope sections getting Flintlastic SA rather than shingles that shouldn’t be there in the first place. That conversion, not new construction, is the core of our CertainTeed work in this city. It’s why we push for inspection before quoting, and why an overlay bid from anyone else should make you pause.
On a 1950s tract house up in the 91504 hills near the Verdugo foothills, the homeowner called after a Santa Ana wind event stripped ridge caps off the windward slope while the rest of the CertainTeed Landmark field looked fine. We’ve seen similar wind damage on CertainTeed repair in Glendale. We replaced the failed ridge and rake caps, refastened to resist uplift, and rebuilt the chimney flashing, then walked them through what a full Class A re-roof would involve given the fire exposure up there.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Burbank
We install and repair the full range of CertainTeed lines you’ll find on Burbank roofs. That includes Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential Shake and Presidential TL for homes where the owner wants dimension without going tile, XT25 three-tab for matching older re-roofs where the budget is tight, and Flintlastic SA modified bitumen for the low-slope porch, garage, and rear addition sections that keep leaking. When the job calls for CertainTeed, we use genuine CertainTeed starter strips and ridge caps so the assembly and color lot match what’s on the roof. Parts stocked locally get us back on a job quickly, and for Full Roof Replacement, Shingle Replacement, or Flashing Repair, we’re not waiting on a distant supply house.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Burbank
CertainTeed shingle replacement and flashing repair in Burbank tends to be priced by the square and by the condition of what’s underneath, not by flat overlay numbers that don’t account for what we find once the first shingles come off. A simple ridge cap and rake repair after a wind event runs a few hundred to roughly a thousand dollars depending on the roof’s size and pitch. Flashing work at a valley or chimney runs $400 to $900. A full CertainTeed re-roof on a 1,000 – 1,500 sq ft Burbank tract home runs $8,500 to $16,000, with the big variables being deck condition, number of tie-ins, and whether we’re doing a tear-off and re-deck first, which most of these houses need. A free estimate covers a full inspection, a written itemization, and an honest recommendation on repair versus replace. Call (833) 467-4901 and we’ll give you numbers that reflect what’s actually on your roof.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Burbank
You can, but in Burbank you almost always shouldn’t. The original skip sheathing under old shake can’t take a shingle overlay properly, and the flat-to-pitch tie-ins at additions weren’t built to modern standards. We inspect first, then tell you if a tear-off and re-deck is the honest answer. It usually is.
Yes, you need Class A fire-rated assemblies up there, and it’s not just about code. The Verdugo-adjacent streets face ember exposure during Santa Ana events, and the difference between an ember-resistant roof and one that embers can find is a home that survives or doesn’t. CertainTeed Landmark and Presidential lines can be part of a proper Class A assembly when installed with the right underlayment and ember-resistant venting. Call (833) 467-4901 and we’ll walk you through what’s needed for your exact location.
That’s heat and sun exposure, which is Burbank’s signature. The south- and west-facing slopes take the afternoon San Fernando Valley heat and UV load, so they lose granules and crack while the shaded side still reads as new. We repair the exposed slope with matched CertainTeed material and tell you honestly what the remaining life on the other slope looks like.
The low-slope section is the problem, not the shingles. On Burbank’s older homes, the hot-mop or built-up roof on the addition fails at the edges and fasteners during the first heavy winter rain while the CertainTeed field above is fine. We repair or replace that flat section with Flintlastic SA or a proper low-slope system. Call (833) 467-4901 for an inspection and a straight answer.
No. We’re an independent contractor. We install CertainTeed because it holds up under Burbank’s conditions, not because the manufacturer authorizes us to. That independence means our material recommendation follows your roof’s needs and your budget, not a brand partnership.
