CertainTeed Roofing in Sunland, CA | Marquis Roof Repair
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Sunland, CA for Landmark shingles, Preserve tile, and Flintlastic low-slope systems. What makes our CertainTeed work here different is that we build every repair and replacement to survive the wildland-urban interface conditions specific to the Sunland foothills: Santa Ana ember intrusion, canyon wind uplift, and years of inland UV bake that ages seal strips and underlayment faster than it does in flat-valley cities. Call (866) 705-2978 for a free Sunland CertainTeed estimate.
Why Sunland Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed has been one of the most specified roofing brands in Southern California for decades, so Sunland homeowners rarely struggle to find a roofer who has “heard of” Landmark shingles. The harder thing to find is a crew that understands how these products actually fail after ten or fifteen years on a Sunland slope: granulation loss on south-facing fields, seal strips that let go during a canyon wind event, and tile underlayment that has crumbled while the tile above it still looks perfectly fine. Ron Thibodeau spent years working roofing jobs across the San Fernando Valley before Marquis Roof Repair took root in Burbank, and one lesson from those years governs how we approach CertainTeed repair in Tujunga and every Sunland CertainTeed roof: the visible problem is rarely the whole problem. We carry CertainTeed-matching shingle colors and underlayment options for fast Sunland turnaround, and we investigate before we recommend. From first inspection to final shingle, that’s the Marquis standard.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Sunland
- UV granulation loss on Landmark architectural shingles. Sunland’s inland summers bake south- and west-facing roofs, and Landmark shingles on those slopes shed ceramic granules faster than the same product would on a shaded Burbank street. The seal strips break down too, which is a problem the moment Santa Ana gusts push through the canyon mouths near Angeles National Forest.
- Wind-lifted tabs after seal strip failure. A Landmark roof with failing seal strips will lift at the tab edges during high-wind events. On Sunland foothill streets, those winds arrive every fall, and once tabs lift, water and ember intrusion follow quickly.
- Seam and termination failures on Flintlastic and GTA flat sections. Many 1950s-to-1970s Sunland ranch homes carry original low-slope built-up roofs, and CertainTeed Flintlastic SA or GTA membrane sections on those homes fail at flashings and drains. The tell is ponding blisters and open laps where seams have lost adhesion.
- Hardened, cracked underlayment beneath Preserve concrete tile. The tile on a Sunland hillside home can look sound while the felt or synthetic underlayment beneath it has baked into something brittle. Tile holds on, but the roof is no longer water-shedding.
- Woodpecker and squirrel damage on canyon-edge luxury shingle roofs. Carriage House and Grand Manor shingles create crevices that trap debris and loose sealant. On Sunland lots that back up to the forest, woodpeckers and squirrels open those crevices further, exposing the shingle mat to ember intrusion.
CertainTeed Service in Sunland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
The one Sunland fact that changes how we install CertainTeed products is fire hazard, not rain. In the foothill streets toward the Angeles National Forest boundary, homes fall into designated high-fire zones where Chapter 7A ignition-resistant roof requirements apply. A CertainTeed Landmark or Preserve tile roof on those lots must be assembled with compliant underlayment, drip edge, and valley detailing, or the homeowner ends up with a roof that sheds water but cannot be insured. This is the difference between Sunland and flat-valley cities: a wood-shake roof that is perfectly legal in Burbank is often uninsurable or non-compliant here. So when we re-roof a Sunland home with CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles, we’re not just laying shingles. We’re building a fire-rated assembly from the deck up, using fire-rated underlayment as the protective layer that gives the roof its Class A classification. On a mid-century ranch near the canyon-edge streets, we pulled original wood-shake to find the skip sheathing had been squirrel-chewed and the felt was essentially gone. We replaced the damaged sheathing, installed a fire-rated underlayment assembly and new CertainTeed architectural shingles, and closed out with metal drip edge and valley flashing so the homeowner could finally get insurance on the roof. A roof done right the first time is the only version worth doing.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Sunland
We service the full CertainTeed residential product line across Sunland, including CertainTeed service in La Crescenta-Montrose. That includes Landmark and Landmark Pro architectural shingles, Preserve and Symphony concrete tile, Carriage House and Grand Manor luxury shingles, and Flintlastic SA and GTA low-slope membranes. When a repair is warrantable, we match CertainTeed shingles and tile with manufacturer-spec accessories and use CertainTeed-branded or equivalent underlayments. We stock common Landmark color blends for fast Sunland service, and for tile underlayment or low-slope membrane work we bring the specific material the roof calls for. We tell homeowners honestly when a spot repair on a twenty-year-old Landmark field is throwing money at a roof that needs full replacement, and on Sunland high-fire-zone homes we steer toward ignition-resistant assemblies rather than simply re-covering the old layer.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Sunland
Yes, but only when it’s installed as part of a Chapter 7A compliant assembly, including fire-rated underlayment, drip edge, and proper valley detailing. The shingles alone are not the fire-rated component; the underlayment system is what earns the Class A ignition-resistant rating. Call (866) 705-2978 and we’ll walk you through what your Sunland home needs for insurance compliance.
Often just the underlayment, but we’ll tell you after we inspect. Sunland tile roofs routinely need underlayment replacement while the tile itself remains sound, especially when the original underlayment has hardened and cracked under years of UV and heat exposure. If the tile is intact and properly fastened, we reset it over new underlayment.
Yes. When Landmark seal strips break down from Sunland’s inland heat, the shingle tabs lift during Santa Ana gusts, even if the roof looks fine from the ground. Lifted tabs then let water and ember intrusion reach the roof deck. An annual inspection before wind season is the cheapest insurance against this.
For Sunland canyon-edge lots, we recommend CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles over luxury shingle lines like Grand Manor. Luxury shingles have deep shadow bands and crevices that hold debris and give wildlife a foothold, while Landmark’s tighter profile leaves less for woodpeckers and squirrels to grip. We’ll match color and fire-rated underlayment for the high-fire zone.
We can repair Flintlastic and GTA low-slope seams and flashings when the membrane is still in workable condition, and many Sunland ranch homes fall into this category. But if the membrane is brittle, punctured, or riddled with blisters, a full tear-off and re-membrane is the honest recommendation. Call (866) 705-2978 for an exact assessment and quote.
