CertainTeed Roofing in Rossmoor, CA | Van Nuys Roofing Co
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Rossmoor, and the one thing that sets our CertainTeed work apart here is that we know these mid-century ranch roofs fail from the deck up, not the shingles down. Most Rossmoor homes were built between 1955 and 1968 with low-slope roofs over unvented attics, which means a CertainTeed roof that looks fine from the curb is often hiding condensation rot in the original sheathing. If you need straight answers about your CertainTeed roof, call us at (866) 321-6172.
We are an independent roofing contractor. We are not authorized, sponsored, or endorsed by CertainTeed. What we bring is hands-on familiarity with Landmark, Presidential Shake, and Flintlastic systems on the exact roof profiles Rossmoor has in every tract.
Why Rossmoor Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We work with seven major roofing brands, including CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That matters in Rossmoor because we’re not steering you toward one manufacturer to protect a sales quota. We inspect first, recommend second. If your CertainTeed roof is repairable, we tell you. If the decking underneath is gone, we tell you that too.
Rick Dominguez, the owner of Van Nuys Roofing Co, learned his trade through the construction technology program at Los Angeles Valley College and spent the better part of two decades on rooftops across the San Fernando Valley before starting this operation. He’s known for being straight with people about what actually needs fixing versus what can wait another season. As he puts it: “If it doesn’t need replacing, I’m not going to tell you it does.” That’s the lens we bring to every Rossmoor CertainTeed sales & service call.
We carry genuine CertainTeed shingles, underlayments, and Flintlastic membrane, paired with quality aftermarket flashing, vent boots, and fasteners where the original detail is the weak point. Our Rossmoor service area coverage means we’re close by when a leak shows up or a Santa Ana wind event tears caps off a west-facing slope.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Rossmoor
- Below-pitch shingle fields on original low-slope roofs. Rossmoor’s shallow ranch profiles often sit below the manufacturer’s rated minimum pitch for Landmark shingles. We see shingles cracked at the bend line, underlayment failing first, and water working its way to the deck. This is a Rossmoor pattern we recognize on sight.
- Santa Ana wind lift on ridge caps and hip tabs. Inland Orange County heat bakes CertainTeed sealant strips brittle during the long dry season. Then a single wind event from the east peels caps off west-facing slopes. We re-secure or replace the affected caps and check the entire ridge line.
- Condensation rot under sound shingles. Many Rossmoor attics were built unvented. CertainTeed shingles stay intact while the original sheathing beneath softens and turns black. The leak shows up on a bedroom ceiling, not on the roof surface. That’s the classic Rossmoor failure we open up every season.
- Flintlastic low-slope sections failing at seams and penetrations. Years of inland heat stress the modified-bitumen cap sheet where the flat tie-in meets the shingle field. Ponding at the low point of a built-up or modified roof tie-in is common, and it’s usually a seam or penetration failure, not a membrane-wide issue.
- Original wood-shake underlayment still in place under early CertainTeed re-roofs. Some Rossmoor homes were re-roofed with CertainTeed XT 25 three-tab shingles decades ago, often over the original shake underlayment. When that underlayment finally lets go, the shingles above are usually at the end of their service life too.
CertainTeed Service in Rossmoor: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Rossmoor is a mid-century planned community where nearly every home is a single-story ranch built between 1955 and 1968, and the HOA keeps the look uniform. That means roofing here is about preserving a tract aesthetic, not re-imagining it. But the original builders cut corners on attic ventilation, and the roofs were framed with a shallower pitch than what modern shingle manufacturers recommend. So on a CertainTeed tear-off in Rossmoor, we routinely find condensation-soaked sheathing that coastal crews working on steeper, vented roofs almost never open up. Matching the original shallow roof profile while correcting attic ventilation is the genuinely local part of the job, because the HOA limits how much the visible roofline can change, and the original low-slope profile is what protects the neighborhood’s character. On a 1962 single-story ranch off Kempton Road, a homeowner called after a winter storm because a stain appeared on a back bedroom ceiling even though the CertainTeed Landmark field looked intact from the ground. Our crew opened the low-slope rear section and found the shingles sound but the original sheathing soft and black with condensation rot. We replaced the decking, added intake and ridge ventilation, re-laid CertainTeed underlayment and Landmark shingles to the same shallow profile, and tied the Flintlastic seam at the flat tie-in. The leak stopped and the ceiling stain hasn’t returned.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Rossmoor
We service every CertainTeed product line commonly found on Rossmoor roofs, plus the components around them. That includes Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential Shake and Presidential TL for homeowners who want a heavier shake look, XT 25 three-tab shingles on earlier re-roofs, and Flintlastic SA modified-bitumen cap sheet for the low-slope sections and flat tie-ins that are everywhere in this tract. When a CertainTeed field is still sound, we repair the flashing, valleys, or vents rather than sell a whole re-roof. Our parts approach is straightforward: genuine CertainTeed shingles, underlayments, and Flintlastic membrane where the assembly calls for them, and quality aftermarket flashing, vent boots, and fasteners where the original detail is the weak point. We stock common CertainTeed profiles and accessory components for fast turnaround on Rossmoor repairs.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Rossmoor
In Rossmoor, the most common reason is condensation rot in the original sheathing under an unvented attic. The CertainTeed shingles stay sound while the wood beneath softens and fails, so water enters the house without any visible damage on the roof surface. The fix is decking replacement plus attic ventilation correction, not just a shingle patch. Call (866) 321-6172 for an inspection.
Landmark shingles are rated for a specific minimum pitch, and many Rossmoor roofs sit below that number. When the pitch is too low, we recommend a different assembly, often a Flintlastic modified-bitumen system for the low-slope sections with Landmark only on the steeper gable fields. Installing shingles below their rated pitch is exactly the failure we’re called to fix on other homes.
Yes. CertainTeed Landmark in a color that matches the neighborhood’s original palette keeps the clean mid-century ranch profile intact, and we match the original roof line rather than reframing it. HOA uniformity in Rossmoor actually works in our favor here: we’ve done enough of these tract homes to know which profiles, colors, and details pass review. Call (866) 321-6172 and we’ll walk you through the options.
The long dry season bakes the sealant strips brittle, then Santa Ana winds from the east peel ridge caps and hip tabs off the west-facing slopes. It’s a wind-uplift failure concentrated where the cap meets the field. We inspect the entire ridge line after any significant Santa Ana event and re-secure or replace affected caps before the next rain.
Only where the sheathing is compromised. On Rossmoor’s unvented attics, that’s often one to four sheets near the low points, at the bathroom vents, or along the eaves where condensation gathers. We quote decking replacement per sheet in the written estimate, and we show you the soft boards before we cut them out. Call (866) 321-6172 for an exact assessment of your roof.
