Why North Hills Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Kurt Hensley, our owner, learned roofing the hands-on way: construction technology coursework at Santiago Canyon College, then the better part of two decades on roofs across Orange County and the San Fernando Valley before launching Orange County Roofing Co. He’s pulled apart enough CertainTeed systems in North Hills to know exactly where they fail first, experience that also informs our CertainTeed in Northridge work. That matters when you’re deciding between a repair and a replacement.
We carry seven major shingle brands: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That roster means we can recommend honestly. The right product for your roof wins, not the one with the highest contractor margin. For CertainTeed sales & service, that independence shows up in how we talk about the product: where it excels, where it struggles in North Hills heat, and what alternatives might serve you better. We service the full North Hills service area with inspection, repair, and replacement handled by one team, so you’re not vetting a different contractor at each stage of your roof’s life.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in North Hills
- Heat-driven granule loss on south- and west-facing slopes. North Hills sits on the valley floor, where summer roof surface temperatures run far hotter than the air. CertainTeed shingles on those exposures shed granules fast, leaving bare spots that crack under UV. We see this most on 1950s and 1960s tract homes with original or second-layer shingles.
- Blistering and cracking CertainTeed Flintlastic membranes. Flat and low-slope roofs on North Hills apartment buildings and carports take punishing direct sun. Flintlastic membranes can blister, and where winter rain ponds, cracks form. We patch and reseal these regularly before leaks get into the deck.
- Wind uplift of shingles at ridges and eaves during Santa Ana events. Thermal cycling weakens shingle sealant strips over time. When dry Santa Ana winds rip through the Sepulveda Basin gap, poorly sealed CertainTeed shingles lift. We re-secure or replace affected courses and inspect the whole field for hidden seal failures.
- Cracked flashing sealant around vents and chimneys. Sustained valley heat dries out flashing sealant until it hardens and separates. The first winter rain finds those gaps. We replace deteriorated flashing and reseal penetrations as a standard part of our CertainTeed leak repairs in North Hills.
- Hidden multiple re-roof layers and original wood-shingle underlayment. Many North Hills homes from the 1940s and 1950s carry two or three layers of roofing over old wood shingles. That mass bakes in summer heat and accelerates failure of the top layer. We assess whether a repair makes sense or a full tear-off is the honest call.
CertainTeed Service in North Hills: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing about North Hills roofing that generic advice misses: the roofs here live and die by heat-and-UV aging, not by coastal moisture. Unlike cooler or smoggier parts of Los Angeles, roofs in North Hills bake at valley-floor summer temperatures for months on end. Surface temps on a south-facing shingle can be far above the air temperature, cooking the asphalt, drying out sealants, and blistering flat-roof coatings. That means heat-driven failures spike after the first hot weeks of the season, not during the rainy season. If you wait for a leak to show up, the damage has already been building for months.
Kurt puts it plainly: “A roof shouldn’t be a mystery – let’s just look at what you’ve got and go from there.” That’s exactly how we approach Valley Glen CertainTeed service and inspections in North Hills. We look for heat damage first: granule loss, cracked shingle mats, dried flashing sealant, and blistered membranes. It’s a different inspection checklist than you’d run in a coastal city, and it’s built from years of seeing how certain products age in this specific climate.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in North Hills
We work on the CertainTeed product lines you’re most likely to find on North Hills roofs: Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential Shake for higher-end homes, XT 25 three-tab shingles on older tract houses, and Flintlastic flat-roof membranes on apartments and carports. We use CertainTeed OEM shingles, underlayments, and membranes to keep system integrity intact. But we’re not dogmatic about parts. Where aftermarket flashing and sealants outperform OEM for heat-exposed details, we use them and explain why. That’s the difference between being a parts installer and being a roofer who understands how materials actually behave on a 1950s stucco home near Orion Avenue.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in North Hills
Heat failure shows up as concentrated granule loss on south- and west-facing slopes, shingle cracking along the mat, and curled edges at eaves. Age-related wear is more uniform across the roof. In North Hills, the south slope often fails years before the north slope, which is a clear sign of heat-driven aging. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll inspect the pattern and tell you what’s actually happening.
Blistering happens when the membrane surface gets hot enough that trapped moisture or air expands beneath it, and cracking follows at points where ponded water sits after winter storms. For CertainTeed Flintlastic systems, we typically recommend patching with OEM Flintlastic and resealing seams, but if the membrane is extensively blistered, a full recoat or replacement is the more honest fix. We’ll show you photos of what we find before recommending anything.
In most cases, no. Once the sealant strip has failed from years of thermal cycling, re-gluing rarely holds through the next wind event. We inspect the lifted courses, check adjacent shingles for hidden seal failure, and replace what needs replacing. A fast fix that fails in the next Santa Ana costs more than doing it right the first time. Call (866) 942-4187 for an exact quote.
Yes. Because North Hills is dominated by mid-century postwar tract housing, many roofs still carry two or three layers of shingles over original wood-shingle underlayment. That mass bakes in valley heat and accelerates failure of the top layer. We inspect the roof deck and layering before recommending any repair, because a repair on a compromised base is wasted money.
For most North Hills homes, CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles handle heat and UV better than XT 25 three-tabs because the thicker mat and laminated construction resist granule loss and cracking longer. But the right product also depends on your roof’s pitch, the number of existing layers, and your budget. We’ll make a recommendation based on what’s actually on your roof, not a brand pitch.
