CertainTeed Roofing in Artesia, CA | Buena Park Roof Repair
We provide Roof Repair – Artesia and independent CertainTeed roofing service across the city, covering 90701 and 90702. We work on Landmark shingles, older three-tab roofs, and Flintlastic low-slope membranes, and the thing that sets our CertainTeed work apart here is that we actually know how Artesia’s tight post-war lots and Santa Ana winds beat up these specific systems. We are not a CertainTeed dealer or authorized installer, so we tell you plainly what your roof needs and what it doesn’t. Call (866) 282-5070 for a straight answer.
Why Artesia Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Most roofing companies in this part of LA County push one brand and one answer: full replacement. We don’t work that way. Rick Dunnigan built Buena Park Roof Repair around a repair-first approach because he spent years watching homeowners get sold tear-offs they didn’t need. We work with seven manufacturers – GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral – so when we recommend CertainTeed, it’s because it fits your roof and your budget, not because it’s the only thing on our truck.
For Artesia specifically, that matters. The housing stock here is dense, old, and shallow-pitched. A roof that looks shot from the curb might just need one slope of Landmark shingles replaced and new sealant strips. We’re familiar with how CertainTeed products age on these 1950s and 60s tract homes, and we’d rather tell you what’s actually failing than sell you a reroof you don’t need. “Tell me what the roof’s doing – I’ll tell you exactly what it needs.” That’s how Rick puts it to homeowners in Artesia, and it’s how we operate.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Artesia
- Wind-lifted Landmark tabs along gable ends. Santa Ana events hit Artesia’s shallow-pitch roofs hard, especially on the field edges where sealant strips have baked out over twenty-plus years of Basin sun. We see creased or flapping tabs along rake lines that need resealing or targeted shingle replacement before underlayment gets exposed.
- Brittle, curled XT 25 three-tab shingles with granule loss. On the older 1950s-60s stucco tract homes in 90701, original three-tab CertainTeed shingles are often bare-faced and crumbling from decades of UV exposure. By the time they look this bad, the felt underneath is usually spent too.
- Seam blisters and chalked Flintlastic membrane on low-slope roofs. Along Pioneer Boulevard and Artesia Boulevard, many older storefronts and mixed-use buildings still carry built-up or Flintlastic roofs buried under multiple patch layers. We find seam blisters and UV-chalked surfaces where later coatings trapped moisture against the original CertainTeed membrane.
- Wind-driven rain wicking under aged starter and rake shingles. On tightly spaced lots where homes sit close together, wind channels rain sideways into the first course. The telltale sign isn’t a ceiling stain – it’s soffit and fascia discoloration where water is getting in at the roof edge.
- Spent underlayment under concrete tile roofs. Artesia has a good number of tile roofs where the tile itself is fine but the felt underneath has rotted. We replace the underlayment and leave the tile in place when the tile is still sound, which saves thousands compared to a full tile replacement.
CertainTeed Service in Artesia: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here’s something we deal with in Artesia that you won’t hear a roofer offering CertainTeed in Cerritos or Cypress talk about the same way. In the 90701 core, especially on the older residential blocks running off Pioneer Boulevard, original 1950s and 60s low-slope built-up roofs and early CertainTeed asphalt roofs frequently sit under two or more layers of later coatings and patches. Homeowners decades ago would add a silver coating or a patch layer every few years instead of doing a proper tear-off, and now those layers are cracking, alligatoring, and trapping moisture against the original membrane. The narrow side yards on those tightly spaced lots complicate everything: torn-off shingles and membrane have to be bagged and hauled out by hand rather than dumped into a dumpster staged in the side yard. That layered, tight-lot condition changes how we scope tear-off and disposal on nearly every CertainTeed re-roof in this city, and it’s a big reason our estimates for Artesia work include disposal and staging costs that other companies may leave off until the job starts.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Artesia
We work on the CertainTeed lines that dominate Artesia’s post-war housing stock. That includes Landmark and Landmark Pro architectural shingles, the older XT 25 and XT 30 three-tab shingles from prior decades, Presidential Shake and Presidential Solaris impact-rated architectural lines, and Flintlastic and Flintlastic SA self-adhered modified bitumen for low-slope applications. Our parts approach is straightforward: where the existing system is CertainTeed and the deck is sound, we use CertainTeed OEM seals, starters, and ventilation components. Where matching the original line isn’t practical – for example, if a discontinued three-tab color isn’t available – we’ll tell you and use a quality aftermarket shingle or membrane that matches as closely as possible. We don’t pretend an aftermarket patch is OEM, and we don’t upsell you into a full reroof just because one slope aged faster than the others.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Artesia
| Service | Typical Range in Artesia |
|---|---|
| Targeted Landmark shingle replacement (single slope) | $550 – $1,200 |
| Flat roof patch on Flintlastic or built-up membrane | $400 – $950 |
| Tile underlayment replacement (tear-off, new felt, reset tile) | $4,500 – $9,500 |
| Flashing and pipe boot replacement (with shingle matching) | $300 – $750 |
| Full Landmark reroof on 1,200-1,600 sq ft Artesia home | $9,000 – $16,500 |
The wide ranges reflect what we actually find once we strip back the layers. A shallow-pitch roof with two coats of old silver coating over spent CertainTeed felt costs more to tear off and haul than a clean single-layer tear-off. Tight side yards in 90701 add labor for hand-carrying debris. Your free estimate from us includes a written line-item scope, so you’ll see exactly where the money goes before you commit. Call (866) 282-5070 for numbers specific to your roof.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Artesia
Yes, in most cases. CertainTeed Landmark colors stay in production for years, and we can order the exact color and profile to match your existing roof. We’ll do a targeted replacement on the damaged slope rather than pushing a full reroof if the rest of the roof is still sealing and shedding water properly. Call (866) 282-5070 and we’ll confirm your color match during a free estimate.
The sealant strip that Once bonded the tabs to the shingle below has baked out from years of Artesia sun and heat, and once that bond fails, Santa Ana wind gets under the tabs and lifts them. This is the single most common failure we see on older XT 25 roofs in 90701 and 90702. It doesn’t always mean a full reroof – we can reseal or replace the lifted shingles if the underlayment is still intact.
We tear off everything down to the deck, bag the debris on-site because side yards are too narrow for a dumpster, inspect and replace any rotted sheathing, then install new CertainTeed underlayment and either Landmark shingles or a Flintlastic membrane depending on the slope. The existing patch layers complicate removal, but leaving them in place would trap moisture and shorten the life of the new roof. Call (866) 282-5070 for a scope and a number on your specific house.
Landmark and Landmark Pro architectural shingles are rated for high-wind zones and carry strong UV-resistance specs, and Presidential Solaris adds impact-rated performance if you want extra protection against wind-driven debris. For Artesia specifically, we recommend Landmark or Landmark Pro for most pitched homes because they hold up to both Santa Ana wind and the relentless Basin sun.
Yes, if the tile itself is still sound. Concrete tile routinely lasts sixty-plus years, but the felt underneath breaks down much faster. We lift the tile, tear off the old felt, check the deck, install new underlayment, and reset the existing tile. It’s a significant job but costs thousands less than a full tile replacement. Call (866) 282-5070 to schedule an inspection and we’ll tell you if your tile is still worth keeping.
