CertainTeed Roofing in Glendale, CA | Tilecraft Roofing
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Glendale, from the Verdugo foothills down to the flatlands, plus La Cañada Flintridge CertainTeed service. Most Glendale homes with CertainTeed products need one of three things: a tile underlayment replacement, a targeted repair, or a full re-roof. What sets our CertainTeed work here apart is that we know how these roofs behave when Santa Ana winds hit and fire-season documentation starts piling up. Call (833) 467-4846 for a straight answer.
Our crews have installed and repaired CertainTeed shingle, tile-underlayment, and low-slope systems in Glendale for years. We know the product line well enough to explain it plainly, and we’re honest about when a patch beats a replacement. Tilecraft Roofing is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or authorized by CertainTeed. We’re an independent contractor. The credibility comes from knowing exactly how CertainTeed products fail in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, not from a manufacturer badge. If you want a roof assessment before anything else, that’s where we start. We look before we quote.
Why Glendale Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes good roofing products. But a product is only as good as the installation and the repair work that follows. That’s where experience with the brand under local conditions matters. Ruben Castellano, our owner, grew up a few blocks from Hollydale Regional Park and has spent his entire working life in this part of Southern California, including CertainTeed in Echo Park and surrounding neighborhoods. He learned the trade through East Los Angeles College’s construction technology program and spent years on residential and commercial roofs across the Southeast LA corridor before starting Tilecraft.
What does that mean for a Glendale homeowner? It means we’ve chased the same leak you’re chasing. We know what a baked-out CertainTeed Xtreme WeatherGuard underlayment looks like under original Spanish clay tile. We know which fix holds and which one doesn’t. We carry OEM-compatible CertainTeed-brand underlayment and membrane where a system match matters, and we use quality aftermarket flashing, vent boots, and fasteners where they outperform the factory option. Seven leading brands, one crew.
We also work across the full roof lifecycle: CertainTeed sales & service, from inspection to repair to full replacement. That range means we can tell you the honest scope of work without steering you toward the most expensive option. Repair when repair is right, replace when it’s not.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Glendale
- Baked-out underlayment under original clay tile. The classic Chevy Chase Canyon and Verdugo foothill failure. The tile looks fine from the ground, but the CertainTeed Xtreme WeatherGuard underlayment beneath it has degraded from decades of UV and heat. Water gets through the intact-looking tile and finds the ceiling below. We lift the tile, salvage what’s sound, and re-felt with CertainTeed-brand underlayment.
- Santa Ana wind damage on Landmark shingles. In Glendale’s northwest hills, CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles lose seal strips and lift tabs on north and east slopes after a hard wind event. The lifted edge is exactly where an ember lands during fire season. We inspect after wind events and reseal or replace before the next Santa Ana blows through.
- Cracked and slipping clay barrel tile on prewar Spanish Colonials. Glendale’s 1920s to 1950s Spanish Colonial Revival roofs hold original clay barrel tile that cracks and shifts after decades of sun exposure. The tile itself ages, but more often the failure is the underlayment beneath it. We match old Spanish clay barrel tile where possible and repair or replace the system underneath.
- Flat and low-slope membrane ponding on postwar tract homes. Flintlastic self-adhered membrane seams on postwar stucco tract homes and contemporary hillside builds pond at scuppers and roof-wall junctions after the first winter storm. We trace the seam, repair it properly, and check the drainage path so it doesn’t reappear.
- Ember-intrusion risk at existing vents and edges. In the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, older roofs often have open vents that would let embers into the attic. We swap them for ember-resistant models and document the upgrade, which is increasingly what insurance carriers in Glendale want to see.
CertainTeed Service in Glendale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Glendale’s northwest hills were inside the 2019 Easy Fire evacuation zone. That fact changed how roofing work gets done here. Many insurance carriers now ask Glendale homeowners for documented ember-resistant vent upgrades and a Class A assembly rating on the roof. What would have been a routine CertainTeed tile-underlayment lift ten years ago is now a documentation-heavy wildfire-mitigation job. The carrier wants proof the roof meets WUI Chapter 7A requirements. The homeowner wants the leak fixed. We do both. Up in Chevy Chase Canyon we lifted the original clay barrel tile on a 1940s Spanish Colonial Revival, salvaged and re-laid the good tile, and replaced the baked-out CertainTeed Xtreme WeatherGuard underlayment that had been leaking onto the ceiling below. We also swapped the old open attic vents for ember-resistant models and documented the Class A assembly for the homeowner’s carrier. That’s the kind of Glendale job you don’t get from a flatland shingle re-roof crew. It’s also why we ask different questions up here.
That’s the difference between a roofer who works in Glendale and one who just schedules work here. The roof either does its job or it doesn’t. Let’s make sure it does.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Glendale
We service and install the CertainTeed lines that show up most often on Glendale roofs. On the shingle side, that’s CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles and the heavier CertainTeed Presidential Shake and Presidential Solaris lines. For tile roofs, we work with CertainTeed Xtreme WeatherGuard underlayment, which is the layer doing the real waterproofing on most Spanish Colonial Revival homes in the area. On low-slope and flat sections, we repair and install CertainTeed Flintlastic self-adhered membrane.
Our parts approach is simple. We spec CertainTeed-brand underlayment and membrane where a system match matters, especially on tile lift-and-relay jobs. We use quality aftermarket flashing, vent boots, and fasteners where they outperform OEM. We don’t stock parts for the sake of it; we keep the CertainTeed materials Glendale jobs actually need on hand so turnaround stays tight.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Glendale
The tile is not the waterproofing layer. The underlayment beneath it is. On Glendale’s older Spanish Colonial Revival homes, the original felt or early CertainTeed underlayment bakes out after decades of UV and heat exposure. Water gets through the intact tile and works its way into the ceiling. We lift the tile, salvage what’s reusable, and relay it over fresh CertainTeed Xtreme WeatherGuard underlayment. Call (833) 467-4846 and we’ll trace the leak before quoting anything.
If you’re in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which includes most hillside Glendale neighborhoods, the practical answer is yes. Insurance carriers are asking for it, and the code expects it on new work. We document the upgrades as part of the job so you have something to send your carrier. Call (833) 467-4846 for a roof assessment that covers the fire-hardening angle.
Santa Ana winds hit the north and east slopes hardest in Glendale. The seal strips on CertainTeed Landmark shingles can let go under a sustained wind event, and the tabs lift. An ember landing at that lifted edge is a real fire risk. We inspect after major wind events and reseal or replace before the next one comes through. Call (833) 467-4846 to schedule a wind-damage inspection.
Often, yes. Glendale’s older Spanish Colonials use clay barrel tile that was produced in specific profiles. We source matching used tile from salvage yards and can usually blend a repair so it looks original. When matching isn’t possible, we’ll tell you before we start, and we’ll show you the closest available option. Call (833) 467-4846 with a photo of the damaged area and we’ll give you a straight read.
We do. Postwar stucco tract homes and contemporary hillside builds often have flat or low-slope sections that use CertainTeed Flintlastic membrane. The common failure is seam ponding at scuppers and roof-wall junctions. We repair the membrane and check the drainage path so water moves off the roof the way it should. Call (833) 467-4846 for a flat-roof assessment.
