CertainTeed Roofing in Century City, CA | Marquis Roof Repair
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Century City, and the biggest difference in our work here comes down to this: nearly everything we touch is a low-slope membrane system on a high-rise governed by strict design-review standards. Century City isn’t a shingle-and-plywood market. It’s membrane seams, parapet flashing, and mechanical penthouse curbs. If your building’s CertainTeed roof is failing, it’s almost always a seam, a flashing, or a drain issue rather than the field membrane itself. Call (866) 705-2978 and we’ll diagnose it properly.
For those who don’t know us yet, we’re Marquis Roof Repair, and we’ve handled CertainTeed low-slope systems in this district for years. You can also review our broader CertainTeed sales & service work across the region.
Why Century City Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes excellent membrane and flashing products, and the failure we see in Century City is rarely the material itself. It’s the installation detail, or a drain that hasn’t been cleared, or a penetration flashing that was never quite right from day one. Ron Thibodeau built the company around that exact observation. He grew up in Burbank’s Magnolia Park, studied building construction technology at Los Angeles Valley College, and spent more than two decades on roofs across the San Fernando Valley before Marquis became what it is now. He’ll tell you the same thing on a Century City rooftop as during CertainTeed in Beverly Hills or on a Burbank garage: a roof done right the first time is the only version worth doing.
That’s why we trace the actual source of the leak before we touch a roll of membrane. On Century City high-rises, a leak complaint in a 23rd-floor unit often originates at a mechanical penthouse curb three levels up. If you don’t track the water path, you’ll patch the wrong thing and the tenant calls again in February. We’d rather be methodical.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Century City
Century City’s roofs get punished in specific ways, and CertainTeed systems fail in predictable patterns here. Here’s what we regularly diagnose and repair:
- Flintlastic SA seam debonding on flat membranes. CertainTeed Flintlastic SA is a self-adhered modified bitumen product, and its lap seams can slowly debond after years of thermal expansion and contraction. Century City’s intense year-round UV exposure accelerates that cycling. Once a seam loses its bond on a low-slope deck, winter rain migrates underneath and the leak shows up floors below.
- Parapet flashing terminations pulling away at terrace edges. High-rise terraces in Century City create long parapet runs where CertainTeed flashing membrane meets metal coping. Wind-driven rain at those edges works at the termination, and when the flashing peels back even a quarter inch, water enters at door thresholds and into perimeter units. This is one of the most common certainTeed-related failures our crews see on towers along Century Park East and Avenue of the Stars.
- Failed sealant at mechanical penthouse curbs. Trades don’t always get the curb flashing fully adhered to the substrate, especially when CertainTeed material is installed over older built-up roofing that has shifted. The sealant joint fails, ponding water sits at the curb, and eventually the building manager traces a leak complaint to a failed curb that was never detail-installed correctly.
- Granule loss on Landmark architectural shingles at pitched accent roofs. While Century City is dominated by flat and low-slope roofing, a handful of properties have pitched accent roofs or penthouse roofs with CertainTeed Landmark shingles. The marine layer and long dry summers accelerate granule loss, exposing the fiberglass mat. Left alone, the shingles crack and leak during winter rain events.
- Clogged roof drains and scuppers overwhelming sound membrane. This isn’t a CertainTeed product failure, but it kills roofs. Century City’s dense tower blocks generate debris that piles up around drains. When the first December storm hits, a clogged scupper means ponding water sits on the membrane for days, finding any weakness in the system. Preventive clearing should happen before the rainy season every single year.
CertainTeed Service in Century City: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the part most roofers from outside the district don’t anticipate. Century City sits on the old Twentieth Century Fox backlot and is governed by design-review and view-corridor standards that regular LA roofing contractors never have to think about. What that means for you: even a routine flat-roof patch or parapet flashing repair may need to match approved visible-roof details, and the property manager or HOA board is going to want documentation. In some Century City buildings, these standards are more stringent than the city’s own building code.
For CertainTeed work specifically, that influences what we recommend. If a visible parapet flashing is failing and we’re re-terminating it, we need to match the existing profile and color where the roof is visible from neighboring towers or the street. That’s not difficult for us, because we’ve done this work in Century City for years, but it is a material difference from CertainTeed repair in Culver City or North Hills. We also need to plan around building access rules, freight elevator scheduling, and owner notification windows, all of which make the jobsite dynamic here unlike any single-family-home roof. If you’re in a Century City condo tower and the board asks whether your roofer knows the review process, the answer matters.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Century City
We work on the CertainTeed product families this district actually uses. That includes Flintlastic SA rolled membrane for low-slope and flat roofs, Landmark architectural shingles for the scattered pitched roofs, DiamondDeck underlayment, and FlintBoard insulation used in many Century City assemblies. We carry genuine CertainTeed components for jobs in the 90067 ZIP, so we’re not taking a membrane roll off a truck in Sun Valley and hoping it matches. When we patch a Flintlastic seam or rebuild a flashing termination, the replacement material is CertainTeed, not a mismatched store-brand substitute. Mixing brands on a single membrane assembly voids the system integrity and creates a failure point we’ll be back to fix again. We’d rather not.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Century City
CertainTeed flat-roof work in Century City varies widely because everything depends on access, scope, and building requirements. A small targeted seam repair on a Flintlastic membrane typically runs between $450 and $900. Parapet flashing rebuilds and curb flashing replacements generally land in the $900 to $2,200 range. A full low-slope roof replacement using CertainTeed membrane on a large Century City tower section is a capital project, often $8,000 to $30,000 depending on square footage, insulation condition, and design-review requirements. High-rise access, crane or hoist time, and freight elevator restrictions all push costs higher here than on a ground-level commercial building. Every estimate we provide is written, line-item, and based on what we actually see on your roof. Same-day or guarantee pricing over the phone doesn’t happen on Century City towers. Call (866) 705-2978 and we’ll walk the roof with you before we quote anything.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Century City
Yes, and this is exactly where our repair-first approach matters. If the field membrane is sound and the failure is isolated to seams, curbs, or flashing, a targeted CertainTeed repair often buys you years. We cut back to sound substrate, install new Flintlastic SA membrane and proper flashing, and clear the drains. We’d rather extend a sound roof than push a replacement. Call (866) 705-2978 and we’ll tell you honestly which path makes sense.
On most buildings, a flat-roof patch below the parapet line is invisible and won’t trigger design review. The concern arises when the repair is on a visible parapet, terrace edge, or roof surface visible from adjacent towers. If that’s the case, we document the existing profile and match the materials and detailing, and we’re accustomed to providing what HOA boards and property managers in Century City need to sign off. We’ll flag the approval question before work starts, not after.
Because the leak is almost always tied to ponding or wind-driven rain, not steady rainfall alone. During Century City’s long dry season, a debonded seam or failed parapet flashing can sit dormant for months. The first real December storm brings wind and hours of rain, ponding forms at clogged drains, and water finds the opening. That’s why preventive drain and scupper clearing before the rainy season is the single most valuable thing a Century City building can do for its roof. If you’ve already got a leak, call (866) 705-2978 and we’ll trace it to the source.
Century City is overwhelmingly flat and low-slope membrane roofing, but we do service and install Landmark shingles on the scattered pitched roofs, penthouse accent roofs, and smaller structures that exist in the district. It’s a smaller part of our CertainTeed work here, but we’re fully equipped for it, and the same design-review considerations apply if the shingle roof is visible from neighboring towers.
Schedule a fall inspection and have every drain and scupper cleared and flow-tested before the first storm, which in Century City usually arrives in late November or December. On a high-rise, a single clogged drain can turn a sound CertainTeed membrane into a leaking roof within hours. We also check the parapet flashings and door thresholds while we’re up there. The pre-rainy-season inspection is one of the smartest things a building manager in Century City can commission. Call (866) 705-2978 to schedule yours.
