CertainTeed Roofing in Hollywood, CA | Marquis Roof Repair
We’re Marquis Roof Repair, and we provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Hollywood, CA, including Universal City CertainTeed service. That means we install, inspect, and repair CertainTeed Landmark, Presidential, and Flintlastic systems on the Spanish Colonial barrel-tile buildings and flat-roof apartment stock that define this neighborhood. What makes our CertainTeed work different here in Hollywood is that we actually understand what decades of UV and rooftop sign mounts do to these systems. If your roof is acting up, call us at (866) 705-2978 for a straight diagnosis and a free estimate.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed has been making roofing materials for over a century, and their product lines are all over Hollywood’s rooftops. You’ll find Landmark architectural shingles on hillside homes, Presidential Shake on luxury properties in the Hills, and Flintlastic modified bitumen stretched across the flat apartment buildings that line Hollywood Boulevard. But knowing the product is only half of it. The other half is knowing what this specific city does to it.
Ron Thibodeau, our owner, grew up in nearby Burbank and studied building construction technology at Los Angeles Valley College before spending more than two decades on roofs across the San Fernando Valley and Hollywood. He’s the kind of roofer who finds the actual source of a leak, not just the visible symptom. That’s the approach we bring to every CertainTeed job. We investigate before we recommend, and we never suggest a full replacement when a precise repair will hold.
We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider. Not authorized, not sponsored, not endorsed by the manufacturer. That independence matters because we can tell you plainly whether a repair makes sense or whether your CertainTeed roof is genuinely at the end of its service life. If you want to understand your options across any brand, you can also explore our broader CertainTeed sales & service page.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Hollywood
- UV-baked granule loss on Landmark shingles. Hot, unshaded Hollywood rooftops in the 90028 ZIP get hammered by sun from May through October. CertainTeed Landmark and Landmark Pro shingles hold up well, but after 12 to 18 years of relentless UV exposure, granules start sloughing off and the asphalt layer gets brittle. The first big winter storm finds the weak spots, and suddenly there’s water in the living room.
- Seal-strip failure and wind-lifted tabs on Presidential and Grand Manor shingles. Luxury CertainTeed shingles are heavy and look sharp, but over old, uneven dingbat and hillside decking, the hot-season expansion and contraction can crack the seal strips. When the Santa Ana winds gust through the Cahuenga Pass in the fall, tabs lift and water gets driven underneath.
- Flashing leaks around sign and billboard mounts. This is the big one on Hollywood Boulevard and Franklin Avenue. Flat CertainTeed Flintlastic membranes are usually fine in the field. The leaks trace to the flashing collars punched through the membrane for rooftop signs, HVAC units, and film lighting mounts. We fix the detail, not the whole roof.
- Failed underlayment beneath clay barrel tile. On 1920s and 1930s Spanish Colonial Revival buildings, the red clay barrel tile looks great from the street. Underneath, though, the CertainTeed underlayment that was installed during a past reroof can trap heat and fail at valleys and parapet transitions. Water tracks past the tile and soaks the deck before anyone notices a stain on the ceiling.
- Cracked modified bitumen at rooftop equipment curbs. Hollywood’s old apartment buildings rarely have room for ground-level HVAC, so everything lives on the roof. Each curb, vent stack, and conduit penetration means another place where heat-cycled Flintlastic can split. We find these cracks with water testing and repair them with compatible modified bitumen.
CertainTeed Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something most roofers from outside the area don’t grasp until they’re standing on the roof looking confused: the constant turnover of historic multifamily and commercial stock between the Walk of Fame and the Hills means Hollywood rooftops carry a lot of gear that roofs in Burbank or Glendale never see. Billboards, rooftop HVAC curbs, sign mounts, film and event lighting fixtures, conduit runs, satellite arrays. Every one of those penetrations needs a flashing detail, and every flashing detail is a potential leak point on a CertainTeed flat membrane system. We also handle West Hollywood CertainTeed service for buildings with similar challenges. On Hollywood Boulevard and Franklin Avenue especially, the most common CertainTeed call we get isn’t a worn field membrane its a leak at a sign mount flashing collar that someone installed badly or that finally gave out after a decade of sun and wind. We rebuild those details with compatible modified bitumen and proper collars, then verify the surrounding Flintlastic membrane is still sound so the owner isn’t paying for a reroof when a targeted repair does the job.
On a 1930s Spanish Colonial Revival courtyard building near Franklin Avenue, our crew traced a storm-season leak to a sign-mount flashing collar punched through the CertainTeed Flintlastic membrane. The membrane itself was fine. We rebuilt the flashing detail and the owner avoided a full reroof. On a nearby barrel-tile roof, the story was different: the CertainTeed underlayment beneath the re-laid clay tile had failed at a valley, and water had been channeling into the deck. That one needed the underlayment replaced beneath re-laid tile. Same brand, same neighborhood, two completely different fixes.
That’s the kind of diagnostic work Ron Thibodeau has been doing across Hollywood for decades: methodical, unhurried, and honest. A roof done right the first time is the only version worth doing.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
We work across the full CertainTeed roofing portfolio that shows up in Hollywood. That includes Landmark and Landmark Pro architectural shingles, Presidential Shake and Presidential TL luxury shingles, Grand Manor, and the Flintlastic modified bitumen and flat-roof membrane systems that cover the area’s low-slope apartment buildings.
When a repair touches a critical part of the system, we use genuine CertainTeed accessories: shingles, underlayment, starter strips, ridge products. Where a quality compatible flashing or membrane performs identically, we’ll use that and tell you exactly why. Our parts approach is simple: the right material for your roof, whether that’s OEM or equivalent. For Hollywood turnaround times, we keep common CertainTeed Landmark colorways and Flintlastic materials close at hand so we’re not waiting a week on a freight order when your ceiling is staining.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Hollywood
CertainTeed work in Hollywood costs what the roof actually needs, and nothing more. A targeted flashing repair at a sign mount or HVAC curb typically runs in the $300 to $800 range depending on access and how many details need rebuilding. Replacing failed CertainTeed underlayment beneath tile valleys on a Spanish Colonial or Mediterranean building is a bigger job, generally starting around $1,200 to $3,000 per section, because it means lifting and relaying the barrel tile. A full Flintlastic re-cover on a small Hollywood flat roof usually starts around $4,000 to $7,000 depending on deck condition and penetration count. Full CertainTeed Landmark shingle replacement on a standard hillside home typically lands between $9,000 and $16,000, with luxury lines like Presidential running higher.
Our free estimate includes a full roof inspection, a written line-item range, and a straight recommendation on repair versus replacement. We never pad the number and we never ask you to sign before you’ve had time to think. Call (866) 705-2978 to schedule yours.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Hollywood
Usually not. In our experience, the Flintlastic membrane itself is rarely the problem. The leak is almost always at the flashing collar where the sign mount, billboard base, or HVAC curb punches through the membrane. Those collars fail from UV exposure and thermal movement long before the field membrane does. We rebuild the detail with compatible modified bitumen and a proper collar, then water-test the surrounding membrane to confirm it still has life. A $400 flashing repair beats a $6,000 re-cover. Call (866) 705-2978 and we’ll tell you which one your roof actually needs.
They do, up to a point. Landmark and Landmark Pro are solid architectural shingles with good UV resistance. But on a fully exposed Hollywood roof with no tree cover, expect meaningful granule loss and seal-strip fatigue after 12 to 18 years. That’s not a product defect; it’s the reality of a dry Mediterranean climate with months of unrelenting sun and concentrated winter rain. We recommend an inspection every few years after year 10 so small problems don’t become storm-season emergencies.
Yes, and we do it regularly on the Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean buildings throughout Hollywood. The process involves carefully lifting the original clay barrel tile, removing the failed CertainTeed underlayment, installing new compatible underlayment, and relaying the tile. Done right, the roof keeps its historic look and the tile remains intact. Broken tiles get replaced with salvaged or matched pieces where available.
We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider, which means we’re not an authorized contractor under CertainTeed’s program. Manufacturer warranties on CertainTeed materials are issued through the product and installation pathway, not through service relationships like ours. Before any job, we’ll walk you through what warranty coverage exists on your roof, what we can preserve, and what our own workmanship warranty covers. Straight answer, no runaround. Call (866) 705-2978 if you want to talk specifics about your roof.
We look at three things: the condition of the field membrane, the number and condition of penetrations and flashing details, and the age of the system relative to its expected service life. If the membrane is sound and the leaks are at flashings, we patch and detail. If the membrane is UV-baked, cracked, or blistering across wide sections, patching only postpones the inevitable. We’ll show you photos from the roof, explain what we’re seeing, and give you a recommendation based on what’s actually up there, not on what’s easiest to sell. Estimates are free at (866) 705-2978.
