CertainTeed Roofing in Lynwood, CA | Chatham Roof Repair
We provide independent CertainTeed roof repair, inspection, and replacement across Lynwood, and the one thing that separates our CertainTeed work here is pretty simple: we know where these roofs actually fail. On a Lynwood tract home from the 1950s, that failure is rarely the shingle field itself. It’s the flat-roof garage or porch tie-in, where dried built-up tar-and-gravel meets the shingle edge and water tracks back into the house. If you’re seeing a ceiling stain and you have CertainTeed shingles overhead, call us at (866) 361-1724 before you assume the shingles are the problem.
We carry out CertainTeed sales & service across the 90262 ZIP code, and we’re a full-lifecycle roofing company. Inspection, repair, replacement. One crew, one diagnosis, no hand-off.
Why Lynwood Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Chatham Roof Repair is a roofing-only contractor serving our Lynwood service area, and our team has spent years working on the city’s post-war housing stock: single-story stucco tract homes, detached garages, low-slope roof sections, and the occasional second-story addition that someone’s uncle framed in 1978. Nelson Quarry, our owner, grew up in nearby Inglewood and learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before doing field work across the South Bay. He has watched what the basin sun does to a shingle roof that wasn’t ventilated properly in the first place, and he’s the one who trained us to look past the obvious damage to find what actually caused it.
We carry genuine CertainTeed accessory components: shingle starters, hip-and-ridge pieces, and Flintlastic membranes. When an aftermarket underlayment or flashing detail is the smarter fix, we say so. Seven major brands are in our material roster, so we’re not going to push you toward CertainTeed if your roof, your budget, or your warranty goals point elsewhere. But when CertainTeed is the right call, we know the product line and we know Lynwood.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Lynwood
- Landmark granule loss and sealant strip failure on south- and west-facing slopes. Lynwood gets mild weather most of the year, but the sun is relentless on a low-pitch roof with minimal attic ventilation. CertainTeed Landmark shingles bake under that UV for years, and we regularly see granular loss and sealant strip breakdown before the fiberglass mat fails. The fix is often targeted replacement, not a full tear-off, but only if the decking underneath is still sound.
- Curling organic-mat shingles on original 1950s – 60s tract roofs. Those early CertainTeed organic-mat shingles were common on original Lynwood homes, and after six decades they curl at the rake and eave. The bigger problem is what’s underneath: the original 1x sheathing is often dried, splintered, and won’t hold a new nail without decking work. We’ll tell you straight whether patching makes sense or whether you’re nursing a roof that’s past its service life.
- Flintlastic cap sheet failure at the house-to-garage tie-in. This is the one we see most. The original flat-roof garage and porch sections on Lynwood homes were built-up tar-and-gravel, not modern membrane. After 70 years of UV exposure, the pitch dries and cracks, and water tracks back to where the flat roof meets the shingle field. The shingles look fine. The tie-in is gone.
- Valley and step-flashing problems on DIY room additions. A lot of Lynwood homes have porch or room additions that were permitted, if at all, decades ago. Flashing details on those irregular roof lines are often wrong, and water wicks against CertainTeed shingle edges. It looks like a shingle failure. It’s a flashing failure. Repairing the flashing is usually a fraction of what a re-roof costs.
- Ceiling stains that trace back to the flat-roof pitch, not the shingle field. A roof doesn’t lie, it just takes a while to tell you what it knows. We get calls from Lynwood homeowners who see a water stain under a CertainTeed Landmark field and assume the shingles are leaking. Our techs start at the stain and work backward. More often than not, the water is entering at the low-slope section and traveling before it shows up on the ceiling.
CertainTeed Service in Lynwood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here’s the thing about Lynwood that you won’t find on a generic CertainTeed page: the original flat-roof garage and porch sections on these 1940s – 60s tract homes were built-up tar-and-gravel, and nobody thought much about modern underlayment or water-tight transition details back then. After decades of sun, that tar dried and cracked at the pitch, especially where the flat garage roof meets the house wall. So a CertainTeed service in South Gate or Lynwood call often ends at the low-slope tie-in, not in the shingle field at all. On a 1950s stucco tract home off Atlantic Avenue, a homeowner called us about a ceiling stain under a CertainTeed Landmark field. Our tech traced the water to the dried built-up tar-and-gravel garage roof where it tied into the house wall. We tore off the failed pitch at the tie-in, installed a new Flintlastic SA cap sheet with a proper wall termination, and reset the shingle edge. No shingle replacement, and the stain stopped after the next rain. That’s what we mean when we say we look for the repair before we recommend the replacement.
If you live in Lynwood and your home has one of those original detached garages with a flat roof, the tie-in is the first place we look. It’s the failure point a generic page will never name, and it’s the most common source of “roof leaks” we trace on this city’s housing stock.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Lynwood
We repair and install the CertainTeed product lines that make sense for Lynwood’s housing stock. Landmark architectural shingles are the most common on pitched sections, and they hold up well when ventilation is adequate. XT 25 and XT 30 shingles show up on older and budget-conscious roofs. Presidential Shake and Presidential Solaris are the premium lines we install on higher-end homes where the owner wants that thicker, shadowed look. And for flat and low-slope sections, which most Lynwood homes have at least one of, Flintlastic SA cap sheet is the workhorse: self-adhered modified bitumen that handles the basin’s winter rain events better than old built-up tar.
We stock common CertainTeed accessories so we’re not waiting on a distributor for a shingle starter or ridge cap when a Lynwood repair needs to move. For less common pieces, we order directly and schedule accordingly. We also use quality aftermarket underlayments and flashing where the OEM part isn’t the weak link, because the goal is a correct repair, not a branded parts list.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Lynwood
Usually not. The leak is most likely at the house-to-garage tie-in, where the original built-up tar-and-gravel flat roof meets the shingle field and the dried pitch has cracked, not in the Landmark shingles themselves. We inspect that transition first, and we’ll patch the Flintlastic cap sheet or reset the tie-in detail before we ever suggest replacing the shingle field. Call (866) 361-1724 to get an exact diagnosis.
Yes. We carry profiles and colors across the CertainTeed lineup and can match most Landmark and XT-series shingles that are still in production. We also keep an eye on warranty class so your repair doesn’t create a mismatch that affects manufacturer coverage. If the exact color or profile is discontinued, we’ll show you the closest match and tell you honestly how visible the difference will be.
Yes, and it’s typically what we recommend when the old built-up tar-and-gravel has reached the end of its useful life. Flintlastic SA is a self-adhered modified bitumen cap sheet that handles basin sun and the short, heavy winter rain events without the cracking you see on 60-year-old tar. It works well on the low-slope garage and porch sections that most Lynwood homes have.
It depends on the age and pitch of the roof. On 1950s and 60s Lynwood tract homes with original organic-mat CertainTeed shingles, curling at the rake and eave is usually age-related, not a manufacturing defect. On newer Landmark shingles, curling often points to inadequate attic ventilation or improper installation on a low pitch. We’ll tell you which one you’re dealing with, and whether the fix is ventilation, targeted replacement, or a full tear-off. Call (866) 361-1724 for a free inspection.
We do, and we see a lot of them. The valley and step-flashing on those additions is usually the culprit when water is getting behind CertainTeed shingles. We repair the flashing details and reset the shingle edges properly, instead of just nailing new shingles over a bad transition. It’s a more involved repair, but it’s still far less than what those homeowners often expect to pay.
