CertainTeed Roofing in Burbank, CA | Van Nuys Roofing Co
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Burbank, from full tear-offs in Magnolia Park to flashing repairs in the Verdugo foothills. The thing that separates our CertainTeed work here from a standard shingle swap is what sits under the shingles. Thousands of Burbank’s 1940s and 1950s tract homes still have original skip sheathing, and that changes everything about how a CertainTeed roof needs to be installed. Call (866) 321-6172 for a free estimate.
Why Burbank Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’re an independent CertainTeed installer, not a factory-authorized dealer. That’s a distinction worth understanding. We buy the same Landmark shingles, Presidential Shake, and Flintlastic membranes any licensed roofer can get, and we choose CertainTeed when the roof assembly underneath is actually sound. Nobody pays us to push the brand. Our CertainTeed sales & service work is driven by what the roof needs, not by a supplier incentive.
Rick Dominguez grew up a few blocks from the old Van Nuys Municipal Airport and learned flat roof work the hard way, on his knees across the San Fernando Valley. He’s been on enough Burbank roofs to know that the shingle you choose matters less than the deck you nail it to. We inspect first, recommend second. If it doesn’t need replacing, Rick’s not going to tell you it does.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Burbank
CertainTeed makes a solid product. But Burbank’s climate and housing stock create specific failure patterns we see week after week. Here’s what actually goes wrong out here:
- Granule loss and exposed mat on Landmark shingles. South- and west-facing slopes in Burbank take direct inland valley sun, with summer highs routinely over 100°F. After 15 to 20 years of that, CertainTeed Landmark shingles start shedding granules and the fiberglass mat shows through. We see it constantly on the 1950s ranches in the flats.
- Shingle lift and tear at fasteners during Santa Ana wind events. Older CertainTeed installs in Burbank were often nailed over original skip sheathing, which gives maybe two-thirds solid nailing surface. When the Santa Anas hit, shingles pull loose at the fasteners. The wind didn’t fail. The deck did.
- Chimney and skylight flashing leaks on Landmark and Presidential roofs. Burbank’s thermal cycling, hot days and cold nights, opens flashing seams around chimneys and skylights before the shingle itself fails. Water tracks under the CertainTeed courses and stains the ceiling long before a shingle looks bad.
- Blistered and ponding Flintlastic membranes on low-slope garage and carport roofs. Many Burbank homes have carports or garages sharing a low-slope plane with the house. CertainTeed flat membranes hold up, but not when the old built-up roof underneath was never re-decked. Seams pond, blister, and open.
- Mismatched repairs from previous patch jobs. We find plenty of Burbank roofs where a prior contractor slapped on whatever shingle was in the truck. On CertainTeed roofs, color and profile consistency matters, especially on the tight streets of Magnolia Park where every neighbor sees your roof line.
CertainTeed Service in Burbank: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing about Burbank that changes how CertainTeed work gets done. In the flats of 91501 and 91502, the original carports and detached garages often share one continuous low-slope roof plane with the house. That means a so-called simple CertainTeed shingle swap quote routinely turns into a full re-deck once we open up the old boards. The original decking was never sheathed to modern nailing standards, and you can’t nail Landmark architectural shingles to gaps. Add Burbank’s pre-1978 asbestos rules and Title 24 cool-roof requirements, and a re-roof here is more code-driven than the same job would be in Glendale or North Hollywood. On a 1949 ranch house in Magnolia Park, our crew pulled layers of old three-tab off and found the original skip sheathing with nothing solid to nail to. We sheathed the whole deck to current standards, replaced the chimney flashing where thermal cycling had opened a seam, and installed CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles with matching ridge and starter. No more wind lift on the next Santa Ana. That’s what a Burbank CertainTeed re-roof actually looks like.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Burbank
We work across the CertainTeed residential line. Landmark architectural shingles, the standard Landmark, Landmark 30, and Landmark Pro, cover most Burbank ranch and bungalow re-roofs. Presidential Shake and Presidential Solaris fit the higher-end homes in the Verdugo foothills. For value re-roofs, XT 25 and XT 30 three-tab still have their place on simple gable roofs. On flat and low-slope work, we use CertainTeed Flintlastic modified bitumen where the deck suits it. We use genuine CertainTeed starter, ridge, and hip accessories, because color and profile consistency matters on these tract homes. And when a CertainTeed membrane isn’t the right call for a particular Burbank deck, we say so and use a quality alternative. Seven leading brands, one crew that knows them all.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Burbank
If the deck is solid and you have only one layer of shingles, a code-compliant overlay is sometimes possible. But most Burbank homes from the 1940s and 1950s have skip sheathing or plank decks that don’t meet modern nailing standards, and a second layer over that is a wind-lift risk in Santa Ana season. We inspect before recommending anything. Call (866) 321-6172 and we’ll tell you straight.
Any new roof in Burbank must meet California Title 24 cool-roof requirements for low-slope and steep-slope roofs. CertainTeed’s Landmark lines come in cool-rated color options that satisfy the reflectance and emittance standards. We’ll spec the right color for your specific roof pitch and the city’s inspection checklist.
We can patch a Flintlastic membrane or open seam, and sometimes that buys you a few years. But if the underlying deck on that shared carport plane is the original skip sheathing or rotted boards, a patch fails and the water keeps coming. We’ll open a small section and show you what’s under there before quoting anything, whether you need CertainTeed service in Studio City or right here in Burbank. Repairs and replacements are both honest options, we’ll tell you which one actually makes sense.
For the bungalows and ranches in the flats, Landmark and Landmark Pro architectural shingles fit the original rooflines without adding bulk. Presidential Shake suits larger homes in the Verdugo foothills where a dimensional profile looks right. For simple gable roofs where budget is the main driver, XT 25 and XT 30 three-tab are still a legitimate CertainTeed option.
On a single-story Burbank ranch that needs full tear-off, some deck replacement, and CertainTeed Landmark installation, you’re typically looking at $13,000 to $19,000 before any structural surprises. If the deck comes back solid and no re-sheathing is needed, it lands closer to the low end. Skip sheathing and shared carport roofs push it up. Call (866) 321-6172 for an exact quote, estimates are free and we walk the roof with you.
