Rick Dominguez grew up a few blocks from the old Van Nuys Municipal Airport and has spent the better part of two decades on rooftops across the San Fernando Valley. He’s known for flat roof work and for being straight with people about what actually needs fixing versus what can wait another season. That same approach carries into every CertainTeed roof we service in Tujunga.
Why Tujunga Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Most roofers in Tujunga push one brand. We don’t. We work across seven manufacturers, GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, so when we recommend a CertainTeed product, it’s because it fits your roof and your budget, not because we’re locked into a supplier agreement. We stock OEM CertainTeed shingles and accessories, and our installers know the technical installation requirements for each product line, which reduces error risk on a tear-off.
Our CertainTeed in La Crescenta-Montrose and Tujunga work spans three services: roof repair, roof replacement, and roof inspection. The inspection is standalone, no repair purchase required to get an honest assessment. If you’ve got a 30-year-old cabin roof with three layers of patchwork on it, we’ll tell you what’s actually underneath before recommending anything. We’re an independent service provider, not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, which means our recommendation is driven by your roof’s condition, not a corporate sales target.
If it doesn’t need replacing, we’re not going to tell you it does.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Tujunga
- Granule loss and surface erosion on Landmark and XT 25 shingles. Tujunga’s inland foothill location means hotter summer days than coastal LA, and that UV exposure breaks down the asphalt layer faster than homeowners expect. We often see roofs at the 10 to 12 year mark losing granules in visible patches, especially on south and west-facing slopes. That granule loss is the first sign the shingles are approaching the end of their useful life.
- Santa Ana wind lifting shingle tabs along edges and ridges. The seasonal Santa Ana events that barrel through the Verdugo foothills hit Tujunga hard, and older CertainTeed Landmark roofs take the brunt along the roof edges and ridge lines. Once a tab lifts, the seal is broken and the shingle will never lay flat again. We replace lifted tabs and re-seal the surrounding course to keep wind-driven rain out.
- Flashing and vent boot failures on patched mid-century roofs. Many Tujunga homes started as weekend cabins or working-class residences, and decades of add-ons and patchwork mean the transition points where CertainTeed shingles meet aging metal or plastic components are the most common leak sources we see. A new CertainTeed roof over old flashing is a leak waiting to happen. We replace flashing and vent boots whenever we repair or re-roof these older homes.
- Wood-shake conversions with shingles over inadequate decking. A surprising number of Tujunga homes still have original wood-shake, and some earlier conversions put CertainTeed shingles directly over the old shake or over decking that was never meant to carry a composite roof. The result is premature shingle failure and decking rot underneath. We pull the old layers off, inspect the sheathing, and replace what’s rotted before the new CertainTeed shingles go down.
- Leaks at dormers and add-on intersections on foothill cabins. Tujunga’s housing stock includes plenty of homes with steep-pitch roof lines and awkward dormer valleys. Water pools in those intersections, and if the original builder cut corners on flashing, the leak is constant. We re-flash those intersections with proper CertainTeed-compatible flashing and underlayment.
CertainTeed Service in Tujunga: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here’s the thing about roofing in Tujunga that most contractors from outside the foothills don’t understand until they’re standing on the street looking up. The steep, narrow foothill streets and canyon-adjacent lots throughout Tujunga often make it impossible to get a dumpster or lift to the house. That means a tear-off on a place off Mount Gleason Avenue or in the upper reaches of 91042 frequently requires hand-carrying tear-off debris and materials up to a quarter-mile to the nearest drop point. It changes the math on every CertainTeed service in Sunland and Tujunga area roof replacement we do. It affects scheduling, crew size, and cost, and it’s the reason you’ll get a different estimate from a contractor who actually knows Tujunga versus one who plugs the address into a generic pricing formula and hopes for the best. We build that logistics reality into the estimate up front, so there are no surprises when the crew shows up and realizes there’s no driveway access.
On a steep lot off Mount Gleason Avenue, our crew tackled a CertainTeed service in Shadow Hills style Landmark roof where decades of patchwork had hidden rotted decking under the shingles. With no driveway access for a dumpster, we manually hauled off three layers of old roofing and replaced the damaged sheathing before installing new CertainTeed Landmark shingles in Charcoal Black. The homeowner was relieved to finally have a wind-resistant roof that could handle Tujunga’s conditions.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Tujunga
We service the full CertainTeed residential line that’s common on Tujunga homes. That includes Landmark, the most popular architectural shingle we see on post-WWII and mid-century single-family homes throughout 91042 and 91043. We also handle XT 25 three-tab shingles on older working-class residences and cabins, plus the heavier Grand Manor and Presidential Shake profiles on larger foothill properties. When we do repairs, we use genuine CertainTeed shingles and accessories to keep warranty compliance and color match intact. When OEM flashing or underlayment isn’t available in the right configuration for an older Tujunga home, we source quality aftermarket components and stand behind the installation. We assess the full roof system, decking, ventilation, and flashing, before recommending repair versus replacement.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Tujunga
CertainTeed roof work in Tujunga depends on what’s actually going on up there. A straightforward shingle repair runs $350 to $750. Leak repair that involves flashing or vent boot replacement typically lands between $450 and $1,200, depending on access and how much of the old metal we’re replacing. A partial re-roof on a small cabin or addition can start around $3,500, while full CertainTeed replacements on Tujunga’s mid-century homes generally range from $12,000 to $25,000 or more, heavily influenced by the hand-carry logistics we described above. A roof with a full replacement but no dumpster access will cost more than the same roof on a flat suburban lot, because the labor and staging are different. Our estimates are free and line-itemed, so you’ll see exactly where the money goes. Call (866) 321-6172 for a free estimate.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Tujunga
Yes, and it’s more pronounced here than in coastal LA. Tujunga’s intense inland UV exposure accelerates granule loss on Landmark shingles, especially on unshaded south and west slopes. At 12 years, you’re in the second half of the shingle’s typical 20-to-30-year lifespan, and moderate granule loss is expected. Heavy granule loss, visible cracking, or curling tabs mean the roof is failing. Call (866) 321-6172 and we’ll inspect it and tell you honestly whether you’re looking at a repair or a replacement.
Yes. We replace lifted or cracked CertainTeed shingle tabs and re-seal the surrounding course so the roof stays watertight. Santa Ana winds hit Tujunga’s foothill roofs hardest at the edges and ridges, so we check those areas first. Call (866) 321-6172 after a wind event and we’ll get someone up there to assess the damage, no charge for the estimate.
We pull the old shake and any existing underlayment, inspect the decking underneath, and replace anything that’s rotted before installing new CertainTeed shingles over proper underlayment. If your Tujunga home has had shingles installed over old shake before, that’s a common source of premature failure, and we’ll make sure your conversion is done right the first time. Call (866) 321-6172 for specific pricing on your roof.
We plan for hand-carry logistics from the start, knowing that many Tujunga streets won’t accommodate a dumpster or lift. Debris and materials get carried by hand to the nearest accessible point, sometimes a quarter-mile or more. That’s built into the estimate, so you’ll know what to expect before we start. Call (866) 321-6172 and we’ll walk you through the logistics for your specific street.
We install CertainTeed shingles according to manufacturer specifications, which makes your roof eligible for CertainTeed’s manufacturer warranty programs. We don’t issue our own warranty on the shingles themselves, since the manufacturer covers their product. What we stand behind is the installation. Call (866) 321-6172 with any warranty questions and we’ll give you straight answers.
