CertainTeed Roofing in Long Beach, CA | Van Nuys Roofing Co
We’re Van Nuys Roofing Co, an independent CertainTeed service provider covering Long Beach, and the honest answer is this: most CertainTeed roofs here don’t need full replacement. They need someone who understands how marine air eats flashings and how historic tile has to be handled when repairs come up. If your CertainTeed roof is leaking, aging, or just showing wear, call us at (866) 321-6172 and we’ll tell you what’s actually going on up there.
We’re fluent in seven major roofing brands, and that matters because we’re not trying to sell you one. CertainTeed Landmark, Presidential, Flintlastic, Grand Manor – if it’s on your Long Beach roof, we know the specs, the failure points, and the right fix. If you’re weighing repair versus a CertainTeed sales & service issue, you’ll get a straight answer, not a pitch.
Why Long Beach Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Because we inspect first and recommend second. Rick Dominguez, our owner, put it plainly: “If it doesn’t need replacing, I’m not going to tell you it does.” That’s the whole operating philosophy. We learned the trade on rooftops across Southern California, including work on CertainTeed in Lakewood, and we know what Long Beach’s coastal air, historic housing stock, and Santa Ana winds do to a CertainTeed roof over time.
We’re not a manufacturer-authorized dealer, and we won’t pretend to be. What we are is a crew that has worked on every major CertainTeed product line, from Landmark asphalt shingles to Flintlastic membranes on flat commercial and apartment stock. We carry OEM components where they matter and aftermarket parts where they actually perform better in Long Beach’s salt air, like flashings and fasteners. That’s the kind of nuanced call you only get from experience with multiple brands, not from a single-brand loyalty sheet.
We serve all of Long Beach, from the historic bungalows of 90802, 90803, and 90804 to the mid-century tracts and low-rise apartments further inland in 90805, 90808, and 90810. Scheduling a roof inspection through Long Beach service area coverage is straightforward, and we show up ready to answer questions with specifics, not vague warnings.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Long Beach
- Rusted valley metal and fasteners under intact tile. In coastal Long Beach neighborhoods like Naples and Belmont Shore, the marine layer pushes salt air across roofs for years. Tile will look fine from the ground, but underneath, the flashings are quietly corroding. We see this on CertainTeed installations all over 90803.
- Brittle, cracked shingles on sun-baked slopes. Long Beach gets long dry spells with intense sun exposure, especially on south- and west-facing roof planes. CertainTeed Landmark asphalt shingles can become brittle and lose granules faster than expected on those slopes. Cracking follows, then leaks when the winter rains finally hit.
- Degraded underlayment beneath original clay tile. In the 1920s-to-1940s Spanish Colonial Revival and Craftsman homes of 90802 and 90804, original clay tile often sits on underlayment that’s decades past its service life. We discover this constantly during tile lift-and-relay work.
- Wind uplift damage after Santa Ana events. Santa Ana winds hit hard, especially on west-facing slopes and bluff-top homes. CertainTeed shingle and tile edges can lift or crack. After a strong wind event, we find loose shingles, displaced tiles, and torn underlayment that homeowners didn’t notice from the ground.
- Flat roof leaks on CertainTeed Flintlastic membranes. Long Beach has a high volume of low-rise apartment and commercial buildings with flat or low-slope roofs. Flintlastic membranes fail at seams and penetrations over time, and coastal corrosion only accelerates that failure. We handle Flintlastic repairs and full membrane replacement.
CertainTeed Service in Long Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here’s something that doesn’t show up in a generic roofing guide: Long Beach has some of the largest historic housing inventories in Southern California, and the city’s historic preservation review often requires re-roofing with original clay tile profiles and colors. In neighborhoods like Bluff Park and the bluff-top areas of 90803, a homeowner with a 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival can’t just swap in an easy asphalt shingle. The city wants the original look preserved. That changes everything about how we handle CertainTeed tile lift-and-relay work here. We match tile profile, color, and layout to meet design guidelines, and we document the underlayment and flashing condition along the way. This preservation step isn’t typically required in neighboring cities, and it’s exactly why an honest inspection matters before you commit to a full tear-off. In Long Beach, a “simple re-roof” is often a restoration project with real compliance requirements. We handle that without turning it into a drama.
We recently completed a tile lift-and-relay in Naples on a 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival with original clay barrel tile, and we’ve handled similar CertainTeed in Carson projects. The roof looked intact from the street. Once we lifted the tile, we found rusted valley metal and fastener heads under nearly every section. We replaced the corroded flashing with CertainTeed copper valley metal, laid new CertainTeed underlayment, and re-laid the original tiles. The homeowner kept the historic look and got a roof that can take the next fifty years of marine air. That’s the kind of work Long Beach calls for.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Long Beach
We work across the CertainTeed product line that actually shows up on Long Beach roofs. Landmark asphalt shingles, probably the most common shingle on mid-century and inland tract homes. Presidential shake-style shingles, which we see on higher-end rebuilds and bluff-top homes. Grand Manor, the heavyweight laminate that needs precise nailing and alignment. And Flintlastic membranes on the flat and low-slope apartment and commercial stock that covers much of inland Long Beach.
For parts, we use certain OEM components where the system depends on exact compatibility – like matching underlayment or certain tile profiles. For flashings and fasteners, we routinely recommend high-quality aftermarket options that hold up better in salt air than what the roof was originally built with. Where inventory allows, we keep common CertainTeed parts and compatible flashing components staged for faster Long Beach turnaround.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Long Beach
What a CertainTeed service call in Long Beach costs depends on what the roof needs:
- Roof inspection: Typically $150 – $400 depending on roof size and access. If you proceed with repair work, we often credit the inspection fee toward the job.
- Flashing repair: Usually $400 – $1,200 depending on location, corrosion extent, and whether we’re repairing or replacing valley metal or pipe boots.
- Tile lift-and-relay: A partial section runs $1,500 – $4,000. Full roof lift-and-relay with underlayment replacement is more, and historic preservation matching adds time and material cost.
- Shingle replacement: Repair sections typically run $800 – $2,500. Full Landmark replacement on a standard Long Beach single-story sits between $14,000 – $26,000 depending on tear-off, decking condition, and slope.
- Flintlastic membrane repair or replacement: $1,200 – $8,000 depending on square footage and system condition.
Every estimate includes a written breakdown with no change-order games. If repair will genuinely extend the roof’s life, that’s what we recommend. Call (866) 321-6172 and we’ll put a real number on it.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Long Beach
Yes. We’ve matched original tile profiles and colors on homes across 90802, 90803, and 90804, including historic-preservation-reviewed re-roofs. Matching original clay tile is a standard part of our lift-and-relay work in Long Beach’s older neighborhoods. We source compatible tile and document the match for your records. Call (866) 321-6172 if you’re under city review and need an estimate that spells out what matching will require.
Salt air accelerates corrosion of metal flashings, fasteners, and valley metal, especially in coastal Long Beach neighborhoods like Naples and the bluff-top areas of 90803, as well as CertainTeed in West Carson properties near the water. Shingles and tile can look fine while the metal underneath quietly rusts through. That’s why we inspect flashings closely on coastal CertainTeed roofs, even when there’s no visible leak. We recommend corrosion-resistant aftermarket flashings where the original metal won’t hold up. Call (866) 321-6172 to schedule an inspection if you’re within a mile of the water.
Landmark is a standard architectural asphalt shingle, a solid workhorse for most Long Beach homes. Presidential is a heavier, shake-style laminate with a thicker profile designed to mimic real wood shake. Presidential carries a higher material cost and needs a straighter roof plane to look right. We’ll tell you which one actually fits your roof and budget. Call (866) 321-6172 and we’ll walk you through the numbers.
Yes. Flintlastic is a self-adhered SBS-modified bitumen membrane commonly used on Long Beach’s low-slope apartment and commercial buildings. We repair failed seams, flashing transitions, and punctures, and we replace full membranes when the existing system is too far gone. We work with Flintlastic’s specific installation requirements to avoid the failures we see on poorly installed flat roofs across the city. Call (866) 321-6172 for a flat roof assessment.
For active leaks, we prioritize emergency calls and can typically get to most Long Beach addresses quickly, often with temporary tarping if needed to stop immediate water entry. Permanent repair scheduling depends on the scope and weather. Call (866) 321-6172 as soon as you notice water coming in – the sooner we inspect, the less damage you’ll be dealing with.
