CertainTeed Roofing in Silver Lake, CA | Marquis Roof Repair
We provide our CertainTeed services across Silver Lake, from targeted leak repair on Flintlastic low-slope sections to full Landmark shingle replacements. What sets our CertainTeed work apart here is simple: we understand how these products actually fail on steep hillside lots with tight property lines and fire-rated assembly requirements. If your CertainTeed roof is leaking or showing wear, call (866) 705-2978 for a free estimate.
Marquis Roof Repair is an independent contractor, not affiliated with or authorized by CertainTeed. But we’ve diagnosed and repaired their full product line across Silver Lake service area for years, which means we can tell you exactly what’s failing and why. From first inspection to final shingle, we handle the entire roof lifecycle under one name.
Why Silver Lake Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes a wide product line, from architectural shingles to modified bitumen membranes. They behave differently on a 1920s Spanish Colonial than they do on a 1960s mid-century with a flat roof addition. We know those differences because we work on both, often on the same house, every month.
Ron Thibodeau, our owner, studied building construction technology at Los Angeles Valley College and spent more than two decades doing roofing work across the San Fernando Valley before establishing Marquis Roof Repair. That background shows up in how we diagnose: we find the actual source of a leak, not just the visible symptom. If a CertainTeed roof has local damage and is otherwise sound, we’ll patch it. If it’s near the end of its service life, we’ll tell you straight. We investigate before we recommend.
We also carry access to seven manufacturer lines, including CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That means our recommendation for your Silver Lake roof is driven by what your house actually needs, not by whichever brand happens to be in stock.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Silver Lake
- UV-cracked Landmark shingles on south-facing slopes. Silver Lake’s dry, sun-baked summers hit south-facing roof planes hard. CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles hold up well, but after years of intense UV exposure, especially where attic ventilation is poor, we see premature cracking and heavy granule loss. The fix usually starts with a targeted section replacement and a ventilation check.
- Wind uplift on Presidential Shake at exposed hillside edges. Canyon gusts funnel hard across Silver Lake’s ridgelines. Laminated shingles like Presidential Shake can suffer adhesive strip failure and wind uplift where roof overhangs and cantilevers catch those gusts. We re-secure or replace the affected sections and check the fastening pattern along the entire edge.
- Flintlastic seam separation from ponding water. On low-slope sections covered with CertainTeed Flintlastic or similar modified bitumen, ponding water and blocked scuppers cause seam separation and blistering. Homeowners often mistake this for a shingle problem. It isn’t. The membrane is failing at its weakest point, and the drainage needs addressing at the same time.
- Brittle XT-25 organic shingles on 1980s and 90s additions. Original CertainTeed XT-25 organic shingles are now decades past their prime. In Silver Lake, where water from uphill properties drains onto the low side, these brittle shingles crack at valleys and flashings. We see this constantly on additions built during that era.
- Leaks at wall-to-roof transitions and old scuppers. Hillside decks and second-story additions packed against uphill slopes create drainage patterns that flatland roofs never see. Water from a neighbor’s slope drains onto your low side, and if the scupper is clogged or undersized, the roof fails. We clear, re-flash, and where needed, add crickets to redirect flow.
CertainTeed Service in Silver Lake: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Silver Lake’s 90026 hillside overlays and hillside ordinance add review pressure that flatland CertainTeed service in Los Angeles never faces. Even a straightforward CertainTeed shingle repair on a cantilevered deck must account for ember-resistant detailing and tight property-line clearances. That’s not bureaucatic red tape; it’s what keeps a roof from becoming fuel in a brush-zone fire. The Hollywood Hills brush zones aren’t far from any Silver Lake ridge line.
For CertainTeed owners, this means two things. First, the repair has to be done to fire-rated assembly standards, which affects underlayment choice and edge detailing. We use CertainTeed OEM underlayments where they meet the requirement, and appropriate alternatives where a specific detail calls for something different. Second, access and staging on these steep, narrow lots complicates even a simple patch. On a recent job off Micheltorena Street, we diagnosed a persistent leak in a 1950s mid-century home where the low-slope section had been patched with a CertainTeed Flintlastic product, but water from the uphill neighbor’s slope was overwhelming the old scupper. After clearing the scupper and re-flashing the wall transition, we replaced the ponding area with new Flintlastic membrane and added a cricket to divert flow. The main Landmark shingle field never needed touching.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Silver Lake
We service the full CertainTeed roofing line that shows up on Silver Lake homes. That includes Landmark Architectural Shingles, Presidential Shake, XT-25 Asphalt Shingles, and Flintlastic Low-Slope Roofing. We also handle the accessories, which are often the actual failure point: CertainTeed underlayments, starter strips, and ridge vent systems.
Our parts approach is honest. We use CertainTeed OEM accessories whenever they’re available and appropriate for the detail. When a quality aftermarket component performs equally well or better, we’ll say so and recommend it. The goal is a repair that lasts, not brand purity for its own sake. Seven manufacturer lines, one point of contact.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Silver Lake
CertainTeed repair pricing in Silver Lake depends on the scope: a scupper clearing and re-flash might run $350 to $700, while a Flintlastic ponding repair with a new cricket typically lands between $900 and $1,800. A full Landmark shingle replacement on a hillside home with access challenges runs higher, often $14,000 to $22,000 depending on square footage, tear-off, and underlayment requirements.
What drives cost here specifically? Access. Steep lots with staging restrictions add labor hours. Fire-rated assembly details can add material cost. And if your roof mixes shingles on pitched sections with membrane on flat sections, two systems need two kinds of work. Every free estimate includes a written, line-item quote so you see exactly where the money goes. Call (866) 705-2978 for an exact number on your roof.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Silver Lake
Yes, in most cases. If the Landmark shingles are otherwise sound and the leak is localized to a valley, flashing, or penetration, we’ll repair that section without touching the rest of the roof. Our repair-first approach means we only recommend replacement when the roof has widespread UV degradation or is near the end of its service life. Call (866) 705-2978 for an inspection and honest assessment.
Ponding on a flat roof in Silver Lake is usually a drainage problem, not a shingle problem. Blocked scuppers, undersized drains, or water from an uphill neighbor’s slope overwhelms the low side, and the membrane fails at seams and blisters. We clear the drainage path and patch or replace the failed Flintlastic or modified bitumen section. Call (866) 705-2978 for a free estimate.
Yes. We install CertainTeed shingles with the appropriate underlayments and edge detailing to meet Silver Lake’s 90026 hillside overlay fire-rated assembly requirements. If your project triggers additional review, we factor that into the scope from the start so the roof passes inspection the first time.
Landmark is a dimensional architectural shingle with a classic look and solid performance for most Silver Lake roofs. Presidential Shake is a heavier, thicker laminated product that mimics hand-split wood shake with deeper shadow lines, but it’s also more exposed on hillside edges. We’ll recommend based on your roof’s pitch, exposure, and fire-rated assembly needs. Call (866) 705-2978 to talk through your options.
Yes, we remove and reset the tiles, replace the underlayment, and reinstall the original tile where it’s still in good condition. This is common on Silver Lake’s Spanish Colonial homes with original clay tile. We’ll inspect the tile condition during the estimate and tell you if any need replacement.
