CertainTeed Roofing in Sunland, CA | Orange County Roofing Co
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Sunland, covering both 91040 and 91041, and also offer Shadow Hills CertainTeed service nearby. What makes our CertainTeed work here different is simple: we scope ridge, starter, and eave fastening by elevation on your lot, not by the city as a whole, because Sunland straddles two very different wind regimes. If you need a CertainTeed roof repaired or replaced, call us at (866) 942-4187 for a free estimate.
We work on CertainTeed roofs every week in the Sun Valley-adjacent foothills, from tear-offs to bare deck to valley and flashing repairs to full Class A replacements, and handle CertainTeed repair in Tujunga as well. Orange County Roofing Co is an independent contractor and we are not authorized, sponsored, or certified by CertainTeed. What we are is straight-talking about how Landmark, Presidential Shake, and CertainTeed tile assemblies actually hold up under Santa Ana wind loading and inland UV. We carry seven major brands, CertainTeed among them, so our recommendation is based on your roof, not our margin.
Why Sunland Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed roofs in Sunland fail in predictable ways. Ridge caps blow loose after Santa Ana gusts. Sealant strips give out on sun-baked south and west slopes. Valley flashing backs up where mature tree canopy packs debris. We see these patterns constantly, so we know what to check before we even get on the ladder. That’s the real value of working with a crew that knows this specific product in this specific place.
Kurt Hensley grew up around Orange County roofs and has spent the better part of two decades on them, but the principles that guide our CertainTeed work in Sunland are the same everywhere: the roof should be a straightforward decision for the homeowner. We match CertainTeed-branded accessory components, ridge cap, starter strip, and the matching underlayment system, where the assembly’s fire rating and wind warranty depend on it. For drip edge and venting, we use quality aftermarket parts where they perform equal or better. You’ll know which is which because we’ll tell you. A roof shouldn’t be a mystery, let’s just look at what you’ve got and go from there.
We’re a material-agnostic roofing specialist that sources from seven of the industry’s leading shingle brands: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That means when we recommend a CertainTeed repair or a CertainTeed replacement, it’s because it’s genuinely the right call for your Sunland home. CertainTeed sales & service is one part of our broader roofing practice, and that breadth is exactly what keeps our advice honest.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Sunland
- Ridge cap and hip/ridge shingle blow-offs. Santa Ana winds funnel through the canyon gaps above the 210 and hit the ridge line first. The field shingles often stay put while the ridge detail fails. We strip and re-cap ridges with a tighter nail pattern, checking the fascia flashing behind them at the same time.
- Starter strip and eave shingle lifting. On older tract homes and ranch builds, the original fascia flashing and drip edge were nailed into fascia boards that have aged and loosened over 40 or 50 years of Sunland heat. Fasteners back out, the starter course lifts, and wind gets under the eave. We repair the fastening point, not just the shingle.
- Granule loss and sealant-strip failure on south and west slopes. Valley-floor ranch roofs in Sunland take relentless UV baking on those exposures. Sealant strips dry out, granules shed, tabs flutter and eventually tear off in wind. This is the most common reason a CertainTeed roof that’s 18 to 22 years old needs full replacement rather than spot repair.
- Compromised valley and step flashing under mature trees. Sunland’s older neighborhoods have big established trees that drop leaves, needles, and twigs into valleys and along flashing lines. Debris holds moisture, water gets behind the shingle course before the shingle itself shows wear, and the leak appears years before the roof surface looks bad. We clear, inspect, and replace valley flashing before reinstalling the surrounding CertainTeed field shingles.
- Low-slope patio additions tying into CertainTeed shingle fields. Many Sunland ranch homes have a patio or rear addition with a low-slope roof that transitions into the main shingle field. That transition point is where these roofs leak, almost without exception. We repair the tie-in, replace the flashing, and make sure the underlayment laps correctly before re-sealing.
CertainTeed Service in Sunland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here’s what we’ve learned working CertainTeed roofs in Sunland that wouldn’t be true a few miles south with CertainTeed in Burbank or west in Sylmar. Sunland straddles two wind regimes in one ZIP code. Homes up the foothill streets above the 210, along streets like Foothill Boulevard and the canyon-side roads climbing toward the Angeles National Forest boundary, take direct Santa Ana funnel gusts over the ridge and fascia line. Those homes lose ridge caps, hip shingles, and fascia flashings from clean wind uplift. The field shingles underneath are often perfectly fine. Meanwhile, valley-floor tracts nearer the wash come through the same storm event with intact roofs. Their CertainTeed shingles don’t blow off. They age out from UV and heat. So when a Sunland homeowner calls after a Santa Ana event, we scope by elevation on the lot. If you’re up on the hillside and your ridge caps peeled back, the fix is often a ridge re-cap and fastening repair, not a full replacement. If you’re on the valley floor and your shingles are granulating and fluttering, the conversation shifts to a Landmark re-roof. Same city, same product, two completely different failure modes. That’s why we never quote a Sunland roof without looking at where on the slope your house sits.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Sunland
We service the full range of CertainTeed roofing products installed on Sunland homes: Landmark architectural shingles, the dominant re-roof choice on valley-floor tract homes; Presidential Shake and Presidential TL on older foothill custom homes; XT 25 and original 3-tab shingles on mid-century ranch builds; and Grand Manor plus tile-format and concrete tile assemblies on hillside custom houses. For repairs, we match CertainTeed-branded accessory components where the assembly’s fire rating and wind warranty depend on them. Ridge cap, starter strip, and the matching underlayment system come from CertainTeed. Drip edge, venting, and some flashing components we source as quality aftermarket goods where they perform equal or better. We stock common CertainTeed accessory components for fast Sunland turnaround and order specifics when your assembly requires it.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Sunland
CertainTeed roof repair in Sunland typically runs $350 to $900 depending on what failed and how much of the assembly needs opening up. Full CertainTeed replacement on a Sunland home runs $11,000 to $30,000, driven by roof size, slope count, tear-off and disposal of the old material, and whether the deck or underlayment needs work. A ridge re-cap after a Santa Ana event will sit at the lower end of the repair range. A valley rebuild with new flashing and re-shimmed underlayment costs more. Every estimate we give is a written line-item quote, so you’ll see exactly where the money goes before any work starts. Call (866) 942-4187 to schedule your free estimate.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Sunland
A CertainTeed shingle roof only qualifies as a Class A assembly if the full system, shingles, underlayment, and accessory components, was installed as a rated assembly, and most original 3-tab and early Landmark roofs in Sunland were not installed with modern ember-resistant venting. Whether your specific roof qualifies depends entirely on what’s under and around the shingles, not on the shingle brand alone. We can inspect and document the assembly for your insurer and add ember-resistant venting where the existing vents don’t meet current standards. Call (866) 942-4187 to schedule an inspection.
Usually not. Ridge caps blow off independently of field shingles, especially on foothill Sunland homes where the wind hits the ridge line first. If the field shingles are intact and still sealed, a ridge re-cap with a tighter nail pattern and a check of the fascia flashing is often all that’s needed. We’ll tell you if there’s more to it once we open the ridge up. Call (866) 942-4187 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
The leak is almost always at the transition point where the low-slope roof meets the CertainTeed shingle field. That tie-in requires flashings, underlayment laps, and fastening that breaks down faster than either roofing surface on its own. We rebuild these transitions, replace the flashing, and re-seal the laps so water stops finding its way behind the shingle course. Call (866) 942-4187 to have it looked at before the next rain.
In Sunland, with wildfire exposure right up to the forest boundary, overlaying shingles over original wood shake is not something we’ll do. The shake has to come off so the deck can be inspected, repaired where needed, and re-covered with the proper underlayment for a Class A assembly. Ember-resistant venting and a clean deck matter more up here than almost anywhere else in the valley. We’ll walk you through the tear-off and replacement process and show you exactly what we find once the old material is off. Call (866) 942-4187 to start with an inspection.
We look at three things: your roof’s wind exposure by elevation, your home’s architectural character, and your budget. On valley-floor tract homes with moderate exposure, Landmark architectural shingles give you a strong Class A assembly at a sensible price. On foothill custom homes taking direct Santa Ana gusts and ember exposure, Presidential Shake or Presidential TL’s heavier construction holds up better and matches the look of the older homes up there. We’ll show you both options side by side and let you choose. Call (866) 942-4187 for a free estimate.
