CertainTeed Roofing in Hollywood, CA | Chatham Roof Repair
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Hollywood, from Landmark shingle repairs on hillside bungalows to full Presidio tile restoration on 1920s Spanish Colonials. What sets our CertainTeed work apart in this ZIP code is simple: we know what’s hiding under the asphalt. A lot of Hollywood roofs have original clay tile buried beneath later shingle layers, and spotting that changes everything about the job. Call (866) 361-1724 for a free estimate, and we’ll tell you what’s actually up there.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’ve installed and repaired CertainTeed roofing systems in Hollywood for years, and the brand’s product lines are part of our daily vocabulary. Landmark architectural shingles on a hillside bungalow off Beachwood Drive, Presidio clay tile on a Spanish Colonial near Whitley Heights, Carriage House on a low-pitch apartment building east of Vine. Our crew knows the quirks and the code interplay because we work on these roofs every week, not because we sell for CertainTeed.
Nelson Quarry, our owner, grew up in Morningside Park and has spent the better part of three decades watching what the Southern California sun, Santa Ana winds, and the occasional El Niño winter do to a roof that wasn’t installed right the first time. He trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and built his reputation on flat-roof diagnostics, the slow hidden leaks that show up on a ceiling six feet from where the actual problem is. That diagnostic-first mindset carries straight into how we handle CertainTeed systems: find the failure, name it, fix the right thing.
When you call us for CertainTeed sales & service, you get one company handling the inspection, the repair, and the replacement if it’s warranted. No hand-off between a roofer who finds the problem and a different crew who fixes it.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Hollywood
- Landmark shingle curling and granule loss on 1920s-30s homes. Hot, dry summers bake these roofs, and when attic ventilation is inadequate – which it usually is on pre-war framing – the shingles curl at the edges and shed granules. We see it most on the south-facing slopes in 90028 where the sun sits longest. The fix often includes ventilation correction, not just shingle replacement.
- Presidio clay tile cracking and slipping after Santa Ana events. The winds lift aged tiles, and once the original underlayment degrades, a cracked tile becomes a water path. Winter rains finish the job. In Hollywood’s historic districts, we salvage and re-set original tile where possible rather than defaulting to replacement.
- Carriage House shingle blistering on low-pitch roofs. Many of the older apartment buildings in central Hollywood have low-pitch rooflines that trap heat. Carriage House shingles blister and the seals fail prematurely, especially where flashing details are weak. We see it on rental properties along the commercial corridors every summer.
- Symphony shingle streaking on north-facing slopes. The hills catch morning dew and marine layer fog that lingers on shaded slopes. Symphony triple-layer shingles are prone to algae streaking and lifted tabs in those conditions. It’s cosmetic at first, but lifted tabs eventually break their seal in wind.
- Hidden clay tile under asphalt causing drainage failures. We’ve found original 1920s clay tile buried under two or three later asphalt shingle layers more times than we can count on Hollywood Boulevard side streets. The added layer thickness creates valley and flashing problems, and the weight loads often weren’t re-engineered. That’s a Hollywood-specific failure mode.
CertainTeed Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the fact that shapes CertainTeed work in Hollywood more than any other variable: in the 90028 ZIP, many 1920s Spanish Colonial roofs hide original clay tile beneath later asphalt shingles. Property owners discover it mid-job, often during a routine leak repair. That discovery triggers historic-preservation review before any tear-off if the property sits within the Hollywood Boulevard Historic District or an adjacent preservation zone. For CertainTeed shingle replacement jobs, that means material matching and documentation matter as much as the shingle itself. We’ve done the paperwork. We know what the preservation review process demands, what gets photographed, and what gets flagged. If your roof falls under review, we can pull a sample before anyone cuts into the wrong layer. A roof doesn’t lie – it just takes a while to tell you what it knows. In Hollywood, what it’s telling you might be a hundred years old.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
We service the CertainTeed product families you’re most likely to find on Hollywood roofs: Landmark architectural shingles, Presidio clay tile, Carriage House shingles, and Symphony triple-layer asphalt shingles. For repairs, we use CertainTeed OEM accessories – underlayments like DiamondDeck, starter strips, and matching ridge components – when the existing system’s warranty integrity depends on it. When OEM tile or flashing is discontinued or priced out of reason, we use high-quality aftermarket tile and flashing that match in profile and color. The decision is always repair-first: if a repair can honestly extend the roof’s life, we recommend the repair. We stock common CertainTeed accessory lines locally, which means shorter turnaround for Hollywood jobs without waiting on manufacturer shipments from out of state.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Hollywood
CertainTeed’s DiamondDeck underlayment is a high-performance synthetic product that works under salvaged clay tile, and we’ve used it on 1920s Spanish Colonial restorations in Hollywood where preservation review requires keeping the original tile in place. It meets the fire-rating standards most historic districts and hillside overlay zones require. Call (866) 361-1724 and we can assess whether your roof is a candidate for this approach.
Landmark shingles are rated for slopes as low as 2:12 with the right underlayment, but on the very low-pitch roofs common on older Hollywood apartment buildings, the details matter more than the shingle. Improper flashing on a 2:12 slope will leak no matter what you put on top. We’ll inspect the pitch and the deck before recommending a product.
Replacement work within the district and adjacent preservation zones requires review before any tear-off, especially when the discovery of original clay tile under later shingles changes the scope of work. We handle the documentation and material matching, and we’ve worked through the process enough times to know what the reviewers flag. The earlier we’re involved, the smoother it goes.
CertainTeed’s Landmark and Carriage House lines carry a Class A fire rating, which is the standard required in wildfire ember exposure zones like the Hollywood Hills. Class A means the assembly – shingle and underlayment together – resists severe fire exposure. If your property falls in a designated wildfire zone, we’ll verify the full assembly meets the current code, not just the shingle.
If the original tile can be salvaged and re-set, Presidio clay tile is the brand’s own line and often matches historically. If the tile is too far gone, Landmark architectural shingles in a Spanish blend color are the most common replacement we install for Hollywood owners who want the look without the tile cost. Pricing depends on salvage rate and access conditions. Call (866) 361-1724 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
