CertainTeed Roofing in Westmont, CA | Buena Park Roof Repair
We provide independent CertainTeed roof repair, replacement, and inspection across Westmont, and the one thing that sets our CertainTeed work here apart is knowing what’s actually under these roofs. Older bungalows and rear additions in Westmont hide skip-sheathing and stacked overlays that generic roofers never plan for. If your CertainTeed roof is leaking, cracked, or just looks tired, call (866) 282-5070 and we’ll tell you exactly what it needs. No manufacturer script, no forced replacement.
Our crew works CertainTeed systems constantly across South LA’s stucco bungalows and flat-roofed rear structures. We know how Landmark architectural shingles, XT three-tabs, Presidential Shake, and Flintlastic SA membranes actually age under Westmont’s unrelenting sun. That means when we show up for a CertainTeed sales & service call, we’re not learning your roof on your dime. We already know what it’s doing.
Why Westmont Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Most roofing companies will sell you whatever brand they have a deal with. We’re not most companies. Buena Park Roof Repair works with seven major manufacturers, CertainTeed among them, and that matters in Westmont because it means we match the material to the roof, not the other way around. When a rear addition off 110 needs a low-slope membrane that can handle direct sun for a decade, we’ll recommend what actually works. When a front bungalow needs architectural shingles that won’t curl in two summers, we’ll explain your options across brands, CertainTeed included.
Rick Dunnigan started this business with a repair-first mindset that came from watching too many homeowners get talked into tear-offs they didn’t need. He grew up in Buena Park, spent weekends as a kid helping his uncle patch roofs on the older ranch-style homes along Orangethorpe Avenue, and learned the trade formally at Fullerton College before spending two-plus decades working roofs across Orange County. His approach hasn’t changed: if it can be patched, patch it. If it needs replacing, he’ll tell you why without dressing it up. Tell him what the roof’s doing and he’ll tell you exactly what it needs. That’s how we approach every CertainTeed service in Inglewood and every CertainTeed roof we service in Westmont.
We keep ourselves to three services: repair, replacement, and inspection. That’s it. No gutters, no siding, no skylights. Keeping the focus narrow means our crews see more CertainTeed roofs in a month than a general contractor sees in a year, and that repetition turns into faster diagnoses and fewer surprises under the decking.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Westmont
- UV-driven granule loss and thermal cracking on Landmark and XT shingles. Westmont sits under LAX-adjacent flight paths with year-round sun that bakes shingle surfaces long before storms do damage. Granules wash off, asphalt oxidizes, and cracks open along the shingle edges. We see it on almost every roof older than twelve years in the 90047 corridor, and the fix ranges from targeted shingle replacement to full resurfacing depending on deck condition.
- Dried-out flashing sealant at pipe boots and wall terminations. This is the classic Westmont leak: everything looks fine all summer, then the first heavy winter storm hits and water pours through brittle, sun-baked sealant. The shingles themselves aren’t the problem. The flashing is. We replace boots, re-seal terminations, and repair the surrounding shingles without tearing off a roof that doesn’t need it.
- Landmark and Presidential courses installed over old roof-overs on rear additions. Tight Westmont lots mean lots of bonus rooms added in the 1960s and 70s, many of them built directly over the original 1930s sheathing. Layer buildup traps heat, hides soft decking, and accelerates shingle aging from below. When we inspect a layered roof, we check for sag between rafters, not just what’s visible from a ladder.
- Flintlastic SA membrane blistering and seam separation on flat tar-and-gravel roofs. The small duplexes and rear structures common in ZIP 90047 often carry flat or very low-pitch membranes. Sun-driven heat creates blisters between membrane plies, and seams separate where the original installer cut corners. A failed seam on a flat roof is a direct path for standing water into the structure below.
- Soft decking under worn shingles on front bungalows. The stucco bungalows and Spanish-style cottages that define Westmont’s housing stock often still have original 1920s-1940s framing under decades of roofing layers. When shingles fail and water gets through, that old wood rots quickly in our dry-then-drench cycle. We find soft spots by walking the roof, not by guessing from photos.
CertainTeed Service in Westmont: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing most roofing pages won’t tell you about Westmont: the narrow lots and frequent rear additions here mean tear-offs routinely expose original 1930s skip-sheathing with gaps between the boards, stacked two or three overlays deep. That’s a framing problem, not just a roofing one. In flat-lot suburbs you pull shingles and find a clean OSB deck waiting for the next layer. In Westmont you pull shingles and sometimes find daylight between the boards. A new CertainTeed Landmark installation over skip-sheathing fails fast because the shingles flex and crack over the gaps. Before any membrane or shingle course goes down, we check the decking, we check the rafter spacing, and if we find skip-sheathing we sister new framing and re-deck before touching a single shingle. Other crews slap a new layer over it and head down the 110 to the next job. We don’t, because we’re still doing roofs in the same neighborhoods and our name stays visible on the truck.
We learned this the hard way on a bungalow just off the 110 corridor. We pulled the CertainTeed Landmark shingles and two older overlays off a rear bonus-room roof and found 1930s skip-sheathing with soft, sagging boards underneath. The homeowner had paid for two re-roofs before us and never knew she was paying for a cosmetic overlay over a failing deck. We sistered the framing, re-decked it solid, and set new Landmark shingles with fresh pipe boots and wall flashing so the first winter storm wouldn’t find the same dried-out seams. She got a sound deck instead of another coat of lipstick.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Westmont
We service the full residential lineup you’ll find on Westmont roofs: Landmark architectural shingles, the older XT 25 and XT 30 three-tab lines, Presidential Shake and Presidential TL for the occasional high-profile front elevation, and Flintlastic SA self-adhered membranes for the low-slope and flat sections that are everywhere in this ZIP. When a roof is CertainTeed and needs repair or section replacement, we use genuine CertainTeed shingles and membranes to match color, granule blend, and profile. For boots, sealants, and underlayment, we’ll use quality aftermarket materials when they perform equal to or better than OEM on a repair. The goal is a weathertight roof that looks like it’s never been touched, not a patchwork that screams “patch.”
Our Westmont service area coverage means we’re on roofs in 90047 multiple times a month, not once a quarter. That regularity lets us keep common CertainTeed colors and profiles in stock or on quick order, so repairs don’t stall waiting on material from a warehouse across town.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Westmont
Because the shingles aren’t the problem. The flashing is. Westmont’s long dry stretches bake the sealant at pipe boots and wall terminations until it’s brittle, and when the first heavy winter storm hits, water finds every crack. We can replace boots, re-seal terminations, and patch the surrounding shingles without a full tear-off. If you’ve got a leak that only shows up in big rain, call (866) 282-5070 and we’ll find the actual entry point.
Yes, and it happens a lot in Westmont. Flintlastic SA is designed for low-slope applications and bonds well to structurally sound existing surfaces. We’ll clean and prime the area, patch the failing seam or blister, and make sure the transition to the surrounding roof is watertight. Flat-roof patches only work when the deck underneath is sound, so we’ll check that first. Call (866) 282-5070 for a free estimate on any flat-roof repair in Westmont, or for CertainTeed in West Athens.
In Westmont, probably 1930s skip-sheathing, two or three layers of old shingles, and some soft spots in the deck nobody caught because nobody looked. We inspect before we quote, and we’ll show you what’s under there. If the deck is shot, we say so. If it’s sound, we won’t sell you framing work you don’t need. The inspection tells us, and we tell you.
No. We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized or warranty-endorsed contractor. CertainTeed’s material warranties cover the products themselves, but our workmanship is backed by our own warranty and our reputation. What independence gives you is honest diagnosis. We’re not obligated to push a full CertainTeed system when a targeted repair makes better sense. We’ll tell you which is which.
No. In fact, it’s less common than the industry would have you believe. If the deck is still sound, the flashing is repairable, and the surface wear is localized, we can bring a CertainTeed roof back to weathertight condition at a fraction of full replacement cost. We recommend replacement when the decking is failing, the shingles are at end of functional life across the whole roof, or the layering has reached a point where patching is just delaying the inevitable. Call (866) 282-5070 and we’ll give you an honest read; the inspection is a standalone service and you’re never obligated to approve any work.
