CertainTeed Roofing in Los Angeles, CA | Chatham Roof Repair
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Los Angeles, from CertainTeed service in Hollywood to Koreatown and beyond, handling inspection and repair to full replacement. The one thing that makes our CertainTeed work different here is the heat: L.A. roofs don’t fail from ice and snow, they fail from years of UV cooking the asphalt until it turns chalky, then one Santa Ana wind event pulls the seal strips loose. That’s the failure cycle we diagnose every week. If your CertainTeed roof is leaking, losing granules, or showing lifted tabs, call (866) 361-1724 for a free estimate. We’re Chatham Roof Repair, and we know CertainTeed systems the way only an independent Los Angeles roofer can.
We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider, not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized. If you’re comparing options, start with our CertainTeed sales & service page for a full rundown of what we cover.
Why Los Angeles Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes solid products. We’ve torn into enough of them to know what holds up and what doesn’t under the Los Angeles sun. Nelson Quarry, our owner, grew up in Inglewood’s Morningside Park and learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending years on roofs across the South Bay. He’s been watching Southern California weather damage shingles for the better part of three decades, and he’s known locally for flat-roof diagnostics: the slow, hidden leaks that show up on a ceiling six feet from where the actual problem is. A roof doesn’t lie – it just takes a while to tell you what it knows.
We’re a roofing-only company. That’s all we do. We carry materials from seven major manufacturers, but when a Los Angeles homeowner calls about a CertainTeed roof, we don’t have to convince them to switch brands. We fix what’s fixable. We match profiles and colors when possible. We tell you honestly when a patch won’t survive the next El Niño season. That’s the difference between a contractor who actually services roofs and one who just sells replacements.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Los Angeles
- Granule loss and asphalt embrittlement on Landmark and XT25 shingles. The sustained UV exposure in Los Angeles breaks down the asphalt surface until it turns chalky and brittle. This happens years before the first visible leak, which is why we recommend checking south-facing slopes annually. Once the granules go, the shingle has no protection left.
- Thermal-cycling cracks and wind uplift at rake and ridge edges. Los Angeles heat expansion contracts roofing materials every day, and Santa Ana winds exploit the fatigue points. On CertainTeed roofs, that means fasteners pull through heat-damaged shingles along the edges, especially on homes in the hot inland valleys where temperature swings are more extreme.
- Seal-strip failure on architectural shingles. The adhesive strips on CertainTeed Landmark shingles bake open under direct Los Angeles sun, particularly on south- and west-facing slopes. Once the seal fails, wind gets under the tabs and lifts them. The first real Santa Ana after a dry summer tells you whether your seals survived. Often, they didn’t.
- Deteriorated tile underlayment on certain CertainTeed tile systems. The barrel or field tile can look completely intact while the underlayment underneath has baked to dust. Los Angeles gets months of dry heat that slowly breaks down the felt, then winter storms push water through the now-unprotected surfaces. The leak appears suddenly even though the damage took decades to develop.
- Flashing failures at valleys, chimneys, and penetrations. On older Los Angeles bungalows and dingbats, the flashing was often installed before modern CertainTeed systems existed. Decades of thermal expansion pull the seals at transition points, and that’s where water finds its way in during the first El Niño downpour.
CertainTeed Service in Los Angeles: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
L.A. has no freeze-thaw cycle to reset seal strips. In most of the country, winter cold followed by spring warmth slowly re-adheres shingle tabs and sealant strips, giving roofs a yearly opportunity to rebond. That doesn’t happen here. A CertainTeed architectural roof in Los Angeles goes through a hot, dry summer where the adhesive strips bake and lose tack, and then gets its wind-uplift test all at once during the first Santa Ana event. That’s a very different failure pattern than you’d see in Denver or Chicago. In neighborhoods like Leimert Park and CertainTeed in Echo Park, we inspect roofs after strong wind events and routinely find seal-strip failures that a homeowner in a colder climate would never experience. The damage happens fast, and it happens when the wind is blowing at 40 miles an hour, not gradually over a winter. That’s why we recommend post-Santa-Ana inspections for CertainTeed roofs in Los Angeles, especially on south-facing slopes that have been baking since May.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Los Angeles
We service CertainTeed Landmark architectural asphalt shingles, XT25 and XT30 three-tab shingles, Presidential Shake luxury shingles, and clay and concrete tile systems like Symphony. When we repair, we match the closest current CertainTeed profile and color available, and we’re honest when a discontinued line can’t be matched. For tile roofs, we reuse sound original pieces and supplement with OEM-profile replacements. We keep common CertainTeed materials accessible for CertainTeed repair in Silver Lake and fast Los Angeles turnaround because we know a leak doesn’t wait for a special order to arrive.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Los Angeles
Yes, in almost all cases the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety requires a permit for reroofing work when you’re replacing sheathing or changing the roof assembly. Minor repairs of 100 square feet or less may not need one, but anything structural does. We pull permits for our Los Angeles jobs and handle inspections so you don’t have to navigate the city process. Call (866) 361-1724 and we’ll tell you what your specific project requires.
No. We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider. That means we’re not sponsored by the manufacturer and we don’t have sales targets for their products. We choose to service CertainTeed systems because they’re common on Los Angeles homes and we know them well. That independence means we’ll tell you when a repair is smarter than a replacement, even if the manufacturer would prefer we sell you a whole new roof.
When we repair a CertainTeed roof, we match the shingle profile, color, and warranty class to the existing system as closely as the current product line allows. For tile roofs, we salvage and reuse sound original pieces whenever possible. If a product has been discontinued and we can’t find a true match, we’ll tell you before any work starts rather than slapping a mismatched patch on your slope. Call (866) 361-1724 for an exact assessment of what your roof needs.
Most shingle repairs and flashing fixes take one day. Tile underlayment replacement typically runs three to five days depending on the roof size and how much tile needs to be lifted and relayed. Weather in Los Angeles rarely delays work except during El Niño storm cycles, when we schedule repairs between rain events. We’ll give you a clear timeline with your estimate.
We service Landmark architectural shingles, XT25 and XT30 three-tab shingles, Presidential Shake luxury shingles, and clay and concrete tile systems including Symphony. If your CertainTeed roof is from a line we haven’t worked on before, we’ll still inspect it and tell you honestly what’s repairable and what isn’t. Call (866) 361-1724 to describe what you’re seeing and we’ll tell you where to start.
