Why Burbank Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service

Our crews have installed and repaired CertainTeed shingle and tile systems across Burbank’s flats and foothill homes for years. We know how Landmark granules hold up on a Ranch-style roof that faces full afternoon sun and how XT three-tab adhesive strips fail after enough hot-dry summers. That familiarity means we don’t guess. We walk the roof, identify exactly what’s failing, and quote only the work that’s warranted.

We are an independent CertainTeed service provider, not authorized, sponsored, or warranty-endorsed by CertainTeed. That’s not a caveat, it’s the point. It lets us match the right CertainTeed product to your existing system without a sales agenda. It also lets us tell you when a $600 flashing repair solves the leak instead of a $14,000 re-roof. Gil Tanner grew up in the Montrose area of Glendale and has spent two decades working on everything from flat torch-down decks to clay tile on Spanish Revival homes. That’s why he runs every Burbank job like it’s his own roof. For the full range of what we do with this brand, see our CertainTeed sales & service page.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Burbank

• Granule loss and mat checking on Landmark shingles. Burbank’s San Fernando Valley sun is relentless, and south-facing slopes take the worst of it. We regularly walk Landmark fields where the south slope has gone bare to the mat while the north slope still looks serviceable. When granule loss is that advanced, patch jobs fail, and we’ll tell you before you spend money on one.
• Wind-lifted or creased shingle tabs from Santa Ana gusts. A poorly nailed or aged CertainTeed course doesn’t need much wind to lift. In Burbank, fall Santa Ana events expose exactly which tabs weren’t sealed properly. Creased tabs that don’t reseal are a leak waiting for the first winter rain.
• Adhesive strip failure and tab curling on older XT three-tab roofs. The hot-dry Burbank summers bake the sealant on XT 25 and XT 30 shingles until tabs curl and let water underneath. This shows up most on 1990s and early-2000s tract homes in the flats, where the original roof has been through twenty-plus Valley summers.
• Tile underlayment brittleness and flashing failures on hillside homes. The 1970s and 80s tile roofs in Burbank’s Verdugo Hills neighborhoods often have dried, cracked underlayment beneath tiles that look fine from the street. Winter rain passes through the tile, hits the brittle membrane, and finds its way into the ceiling. Tiles don’t have to move for the roof to leak.
• Specific shingle matching on Burbank’s mid-century ranch roofs. When one slope fails on a Landmark roof, the rest of the field has usually faded. We match CertainTeed color lines carefully and use genuine CertainTeed starter, hip-and-ridge, and accessories where the line is still available, so your roof doesn’t look patched and your material consistency stays intact.

CertainTeed Service in Burbank: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof

Burbank’s Title 24 cool-roof requirements mean a lot of CertainTeed re-roofs here are spec’d around lighter-colored, high-SRI shingles. This matters most on the flat and low-slope mid-century ranch roofs concentrated in the Rancho neighborhood and adjacent upscale areas, where heat gain is the driving concern. Those roofs weren’t built for the kind of thermal load Burbank summers produce, and a dark shingle on a low-slope ranch just absorbs more of it. When we re-roof one of these homes, we’re not just swapping shingles, we’re changing how the roof performs under the same sun that turned the old field brittle. That’s why we steer Rancho homeowners toward lighter CertainTeed architectural shingles that meet the city’s cool-roof expectations and actually reduce attic temperatures. In the Rancho neighborhood we tore off a sun-baked CertainTeed Landmark field on a mid-century ranch where the south slope had gone bald to the mat and the north slope was still holding granules, then rebuilt the low-slope section and flashed it for the winter rains. We replaced it with a lighter, high-SRI CertainTeed architectural shingle to meet the city’s cool-roof expectations and sealed the transitions where the Santa Ana winds had been lifting tabs. That’s the local reality: the same CertainTeed product line behaves differently depending on which side of Burbank you live on.

CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Burbank

We service the CertainTeed lines you’re most likely to find on Burbank roofs. Landmark architectural shingles, including Landmark PRO, cover most of the mid-century re-roofs in the flats. XT 25 and XT 30 three-tab shingles show up on older tract homes that were re-roofed in the 1990s. Presidential Shake and Presidential Solaris are the premium option we work with on larger ranch homes where curb appeal matters. And for hillside homes with clay or concrete tile, we handle CertainTeed tile underlayment systems, which is where most of those roofs actually fail. We use genuine CertainTeed shingles, starter, hip-and-ridge, and matching accessories wherever the line is still available. When an OEM part no longer exists or underperforms, we use quality aftermarket underlayment or flashing that outperforms the original, and we’ll tell you exactly why we made that call. We keep common CertainTeed materials and accessories stocked locally for fast Burbank turnaround.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Burbank

Will a lighter-colored CertainTeed shingle actually help with Burbank’s Title 24 cool-roof rules? Yes. Burbank enforces Title 24 energy standards, and lighter, high-SRI CertainTeed shingles reduce heat gain on the low-slope roofs that dominate mid-century ranch homes. Call (877) 755-4274 and we’ll walk you through which CertainTeed lines meet the city’s cool-roof expectations.

My 1960s Burbank ranch has original tar-and-gravel with CertainTeed shingles over part of it – repair or replace? It depends on the condition of the CertainTeed section and the tar-and-gravel section. When the shingled slope has widespread granule loss or brittle mat, we steer toward replacement rather than patching a slope that will keep failing. Call (877) 755-4274 for a free inspection.

Why are my CertainTeed Landmark shingles losing granules so fast on the south slope? Burbank’s San Fernando Valley UV is concentrated on south-facing slopes, which age at roughly twice the rate of north slopes. Once granule loss is widespread, the mat starts checking and the shingles lose their weather resistance. Call (877) 755-4274 to have us walk the roof and assess the damage.

Do the hillside tile roofs in the Verdugo Hills need CertainTeed underlayment work even if the tiles look fine? Often, yes. The tile is just the top layer. The CertainTeed underlayment beneath it is what actually sheds water, and on 1970s and 80s hillside homes in Burbank, that membrane has usually dried and cracked. Leaks show up in winter without any tile damage. We inspect the underlayment, not just the tile. Call (877) 755-4274 to schedule an inspection.

Can you work around a film or TV production schedule when re-roofing my Burbank home? Yes, we coordinate around production schedules, parking restrictions, and city permitting all the time. Half of Burbank’s roofing work happens on streets where a production is parked down the block. It takes planning, but it’s routine for us. Call (877) 755-4274 with your production dates and we’ll fit the job around them.
