How CertainTeed Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Every shingle brand fails in its own way, and CertainTeed is no exception. We’ve seen these patterns across Pasadena’s neighborhoods, from the tree-heavy lots of Chapman Woods to the sun-baked exposures north of the 210.

• Landmark shingle granule loss on south-facing slopes. Pasadena’s inland heat does a number on asphalt shingles, especially CertainTeed Landmark on roofs with full southern exposure. We regularly see granule loss starting around year 12 to 14, leaving bald spots that let UV hit the asphalt mat directly. The fix is replacing the affected courses before the mat cracks and lets water through, and we’ll match the Landmark color line as closely as the current batch allows.
• Presidential shake curling at the tabs. CertainTeed Presidential and Presidential Shake are heavier shingles, but their laminated tabs can still curl when attic ventilation is poor. In Pasadena’s older craftsman homes, we often find bathroom fans venting into the attic instead of outside, which cooks the underside of the deck and curls those deep shadow lines. We correct the ventilation first, then replace the curled shingles.
• Flat roof seam splits on Flintlastic membranes. CertainTeed Flintlastic and Flintlastic SA modified bitumen roofs hold up well, but we’ve found seam failures at roof penetrations around Pasadena’s many HVAC units and swamp cooler pads. The heat cycling between Pasadena’s hot days and cool nights works the seams loose over time. Our fix is a proper torch or SA patch detail, not a smear of mastic that fails again in a year.
• Winterguard edge failures under valley metal. CertainTeed Winterguard is a good ice-and-water shield, but we’ve seen it delaminate where Pasadena roofers ran it too thin under valley metal or didn’t prime the deck first. The symptom is water stains appearing on ceilings after the first real rain, tracing back to the valley. We replace the valley detail with new Winterguard, properly primed and bonded.
• Cedar Impressions siding interacting with roof runoff. This one’s not the roof itself, but we see it on Pasadena homes where CertainTeed Cedar Impressions siding sits too close to the roof line. Runoff from the roof splashes back against the bottom course and wicks up behind the siding. We’ll add or replace kickout flashing at the roof-to-wall junction and make sure the siding’s drainage plane stays dry.

Our CertainTeed Roofing Company Process

Here’s exactly what happens on a CertainTeed job with Birchbark Roofing Pasadena, from your first call to the final photo:

1. 1
   You call and talk to Erik. He’ll ask what you’re seeing, when it started, and what part of Pasadena you’re in. He’ll tell you honestly whether it sounds like a repair or a candidate for replacement.
2. 2
   We schedule a walk-through. Erik goes onto the roof himself. He’s been diagnosing leak patterns for close to three decades and takes his time, checking not just the obvious spot but the drainage, flashing, and ventilation around it.
3. 3
   You get a written plan. We write out what we found, what we recommend, and the exact cost. No verbal estimates, no “we’ll see when we open it up.” You’ll have the price in writing before we touch a single shingle.
4. 4
   We decide on parts together. For CertainTeed work, we default to genuine CertainTeed components where they matter, like matching Landmark colors or Flintlastic SA patches. For some flashing and underlayment pieces, a quality aftermarket equivalent works just as well, and we’ll tell you which is which and what it does to the warranty picture.
5. 5
   The crew gets to work. Shoe covers at the door, drop cloths through the hallway, and C.A.R.E. values on every job: Clean up like it’s our own home; Ask before we move or touch anything; Respect the family’s time and quiet hours; Explain the price before the work.
6. 6
   We photograph the cleanup and walk you through the fix. Before we leave, you get a photo of the completed clean-up and a look at the repaired area. Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we make it right.

Why Pasadena Homeowners Call Birchbark Roofing Pasadena for CertainTeed Work

We’re not the only roofer in Pasadena who works on CertainTeed roofs, but we’re one of the few who’ll show you the price before work starts and then prove the job was cleaned up with a photo. Erik grew up in East Los Angeles and has been working on Pasadena roofs for close to three decades, including plenty of older craftsman homes near Bungalow Heaven where the roof deck needs real preparation before new certainteed material goes down. We work with GAF and Owens Corning too, so if a CertainTeed repair doesn’t make sense, we’ll tell you what will. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise and the Cedarwell Care Promise: background-checked, uniformed technicians, a live person answering the phone 24/7, and a written price before anything starts. Birch bark was one of the first roofing materials, light and tough, made to shed water. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.
