CertainTeed Roofing in East Pasadena, CA | Orange County Roofing Co
We provide independent CertainTeed in Pasadena, including East Pasadena, specializing in the kind of work 91107 homes actually need: full tear-offs of painted-over wood-shake, Class A fire-rated assemblies near the foothills, and ventilation corrections on 1950s-70s tract homes before new CertainTeed shingles go down. Our team knows Landmark and Presidential lines inside out. And we know why they fail early on East Pasadena roofs when the install wasn’t dialed for this climate.
Call (866) 942-4187 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk your roof with you. A roof shouldn’t be a mystery – let’s just look at what you’ve got and go from there.
Why East Pasadena Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Kurt Hensley, our owner, spent the better part of two decades on roofs across the San Gabriel Valley before launching Orange County Roofing Co. He’s seen what East Pasadena’s UV does to a Landmark shingle on a south-facing slope. He knows where Santa Ana wind finds weak fastening patterns first. That’s the kind of local experience that shapes our CertainTeed sales & service approach.
We carry seven major brands – GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, Boral – which means our CertainTeed recommendation comes from what your roof deck and 91107 exposure actually need, not from a brand program pushing one product. We’re not an authorized CertainTeed dealer. We’re an independent service provider, and that’s the point. We’ll tell you when CertainTeed is the right call, and we’ll tell you when another manufacturer’s product fits better. The right material wins, not the one with the highest contractor margin.
From a single damaged shingle to a full tear-off and replacement, one call covers it. We serve all of East Pasadena service area with plain-spoken advice and written line-item quotes.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in East Pasadena
- Granule loss and scouring on south and west slopes. East Pasadena’s UV punishes sun-facing CertainTeed Landmark shingles. We regularly see bald patches on shingles that still have five or ten years of life left according to the calendar. The heat cycling breaks down the asphalt matrix, and the granules let go. Fix starts with a roof assessment to map the damage, then selective replacement or full re-roof depending on how far it’s spread.
- Santa Ana wind creasing and tab lift. When a certain type of shingle was installed with marginal fastening patterns, the gusts off the San Gabriel foothills find those first. We see lifted tabs and wind creases concentrated along the windward edges of 91107 roofs after every big blow. Repair means re-fastening with proper placement and sealing tabs where they’ll actually hold.
- Thermal cracking on Flintlastic low-slope membranes. Unvented garage and addition roofs over 1950s-70s builds get hot – like 140°F-plus in an August afternoon. CertainTeed Flintlastic SA does well on low-slope decks when vented properly, but on unvented decks the membrane ages fast and the seams start splitting. We fix the membrane and, more importantly, the ventilation that killed it early.
- Painted-over wood-shake hiding rot underneath. The classic 91107 story. A homeowner paints over aged shake to buy a few more years. The shake rots underneath. Then we do a tear-off for a new CertainTeed system and find the deck itself needs work. This isn’t a repair job – it’s a demolition and rebuild to bare deck.
- Failed flashing around skylights and chimneys on original builds. East Pasadena’s occasional winter rains expose leaks at aged flashings fast. We rebuild skylight curbs and chimney flashing properly, using quality flashing matched to the CertainTeed system going back on top. A roof is only as good as the metal keeping water out.
CertainTeed Service in East Pasadena: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
East Pasadena sits in the Arroyo Seco corridor where the San Gabriel Valley’s UV, heat, and dry Santa Ana winds beat on mid-century roofs harder than most people realize. The kicker: many 91107 homes still carry original wood-shake or low-slope built-up roofs that were never designed for the now-required Class A fire-rated assemblies. Local fire officials push hard for ignition-resistant roofs near the wildland-urban interface, and that changes the whole calculation. You can’t overlay CertainTeed Landmark onto a painted-over shake roof and expect it to last. The old deck has rot, the skip sheathing is inadequate, and the attic ventilation was insufficient when the house was built in 1962.
What this means in practice: near the foothills off Michillinda and similar streets, we plan more full tear-offs to bare deck than anywhere else we work. It’s not a sales pitch. It’s the local reality. On a 1962 single-story ranch off Michillinda, we tore off a painted-over wood-shake roof down to original skip sheathing, re-decked and re-vented the attic, then installed CertainTeed Landmark Pro in a Class A assembly with new CertainTeed ridge vent. The old flashed skylight curb had been leaking into the ceiling every winter rain; we rebuilt the flashing and the homeowner’s next storm season was dry.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in East Pasadena
We work with the full CertainTeed residential line that shows up on East Pasadena roofs. Landmark architectural shingles – including Landmark Pro and Landmark IR Class A lines – cover most of our installations. Presidential Shake and Presidential Shake TL go on homes where the original shake look matters, and certain 91107 neighborhoods have that aesthetic baked in. Older XT 25 and XT 30 three-tab shingles still on tract re-roofs from the 80s and 90s are still serviceable for selective repairs. And Flintlastic SA self-adhered modified bitumen is our go-to for low-slope additions and garages where a conventional shingle would fail fast.
We use genuine CertainTeed shingles, underlayments, and accessories – Landmark and Presidential with matching CertainTeed starter and ridge – because color and warranty integrity depend on the full system. Aftermarket components are reserved for flashing, vents, and decking, where performance matters more than brand matching.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in East Pasadena
What drives cost in 91107 is the tear-off scope. A straight CertainTeed Landmark replacement over a clean deck runs differently than a full tear-off of painted-over shake with re-decking and ventilation work. The same goes for Flintlastic repairs on an unvented low-slope addition: fixing the membrane is one thing, fixing the ventilation that killed it is another.
Every estimate we write is line-item, in plain English, and free. You’ll know exactly what the tear-off costs, what the deck work costs, and what the CertainTeed system costs. No change orders hiding in the fine print. Call (866) 942-4187 to schedule your free estimate.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in East Pasadena
Almost always, yes. Painted-over or repeatedly patched wood-shake on 91107 homes hides rot, and the local fire department’s push for Class A assemblies near the wildland-urban interface makes overlays the wrong call. We’ll verify with a roof inspection, but plan on a tear-off to bare deck for most East Pasadena wood-shake roofs. Call (866) 942-4187 for an inspection and we’ll tell you exactly what your roof needs – nothing more.
Yes, when installed with the right fastening pattern and ventilation for 91107 conditions. The UV will age any shingle faster on sun-facing slopes, but Landmark is built for that exposure. The bigger issue is wind: marginal fastening patterns fail first in Santa Ana gusts. We fasten per CertainTeed’s high-wind spec and verify the deck before we install. Call (866) 942-4187 to get your roof assessed for East Pasadena’s specific exposure.
Flintlastic SA is a solid choice for low-slope garage and addition roofs, but only if the attic below is vented properly. Unvented decks hit extreme afternoon temperatures that age any membrane fast, Flintlastic included. We’ll check the ventilation first, then specify the membrane. If your existing Flintlastic is cracking at the seams, the ventilation question is even more important. Call (866) 942-4187 – estimates are free.
Yes, when the damage is isolated. Lifted tabs, wind creases, and a few missing shingles can usually be repaired with matching CertainTeed shingles and proper re-fastening. But if the damage is widespread or the shingles are already showing granule loss, a patch job just delays the inevitable. We’ll give you the straight answer either way. Call (866) 942-4187 for a free repair assessment.
Directly. CertainTeed’s warranty coverage assumes proper attic ventilation. Many 1950s-70s East Pasadena homes have insufficient venting, which accelerates shingle aging and can void portions of the warranty. We’ll assess your attic ventilation as part of every CertainTeed installation and correct it before the shingles go down. Call (866) 942-4187 to have your roof and attic checked.
