CertainTeed Roofing in Lakewood, CA | Koreatown Roofing
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Lakewood’s 90711, 90712, 90713, and 90714 ZIP codes, from full tear-offs to targeted shingle repairs. What makes our CertainTeed work here different is simple: we know how these shingles age on Lakewood Park tract homes, not just how they look on a sample board. Call (866) 974-2271 for a free estimate on any CertainTeed repair or replacement.
Why Lakewood Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We work with seven roofing manufacturers, and CertainTeed is one of the brands we service most often in Lakewood, along with CertainTeed in Long Beach and nearby areas. That means we don’t push a single product line because it’s convenient for us. If a CertainTeed Landmark roof is what your house has, that’s what we work with. If a different material fits your budget and roof geometry better, we’ll tell you that too. Your roof, your material choice.
Manny Cordero, our owner, learned the trade through the building trades program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, where instructors drilled material specs and installation sequencing before he ever touched a customer’s roof. That background shows up in how we approach CertainTeed sales & service here: we measure, we explain, and we don’t guess. Roofing specialists, not generalists. It’s the only trade we do.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Lakewood
CertainTeed makes a solid shingle, but Lakewood’s specific conditions create predictable failure patterns. Here’s what we see most often on the tract streets:
- Granule loss on south-facing slopes. Lakewood’s dry inland-coastal sun is relentless on low-slope gable and hip planes. On CertainTeed Landmark and XT 25 shingles, the south slope regularly loses granules and surface integrity years before the shaded north side. We see it block after block.
- Wind-lifted tabs and torn ridge caps after Santa Ana events. Those wind gusts hit hip ridges and gable rakes on the original 1947 – 1955 tract geometries hardest. Creased shingle tabs and missing ridge caps are the usual results, and they let water in fast when the winter storms finally arrive.
- Flashing and pipe-boot failures on Lakewood Park ranches. Homes built with shallow eaves and original wood-shingle or built-up systems often have two or three layers over the deck. Old flashing rots underneath, and the leak only surfaces after the first concentrated storm. By then, the plywood around it is usually damaged too.
- Adhesive strip failure on re-roofed homes. When a Lakewood house carries three layers of shingles over the original deck, heat gets trapped. CertainTeed shingles on those roofs crack and lose their seal strip faster than on a single-layer tear-off. The deck takes a beating in the process.
- Deck rot discovered only at tear-off. We can’t always see deck damage until the old layers come off. That’s common on Lakewood Park models where the original 1950s decking has been under multiple roofing systems for seventy-plus years.
CertainTeed Service in Lakewood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something that’s true in Lakewood and almost nowhere else: the city is one of America’s original post-war planned suburbs. Tens of thousands of nearly identical 1940s and 1950s tract homes were built by the Lakewood Park Company, and most still stand under their original low-pitch roof geometries. That means roofing here isn’t scattered work. We move block by block through the same handful of period floor plans. A certainteed shingle failure on one Lakewood Park ranch usually means the identical three-bed/one-bath model next door is failing on the same schedule. That repetition changes how we price and plan: material counts and estimates stay unusually consistent house to house because we’re often working on the same roof we worked on two streets over last month. For homeowners, that means faster, more accurate estimates and fewer surprises on the final line item.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Lakewood
We service the CertainTeed lines most common on Lakewood roofs: Landmark architectural shingles, XT 25 three-tab shingles, Patriot architectural shingles, and Flintlastic modified bitumen for low-slope applications. For repairs, we use genuine CertainTeed shingles and matching accessories to keep color and profile continuity. Where aftermarket parts outperform the OEM, we use them: quality pipe boots, flashings, and underlayment that hold up better under Lakewood’s heat-cycling than what came off the old roof. We stock common CertainTeed colors and profiles for faster turnaround on tract-street repairs.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Lakewood
CertainTeed shingle repair in Lakewood typically runs $180 – $340 for targeted fixes like wind-lifted tabs or a failed pipe boot. Full tear-off and re-roof on a standard Lakewood Park ranch with CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles commonly lands in the $9,500 – $16,000 range, depending on deck condition and whether we’re removing two or three old layers. The biggest cost driver is almost always what’s under the shingles: rotted decking adds material and labor, and you won’t know the full picture until the old roof comes off. Our free estimate includes a written line-item quote so you see exactly what’s included before you commit. Call (866) 974-2271 to schedule yours.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Lakewood
We won’t shingle over a third layer, and here’s why: City of Lakewood building code and CertainTeed’s own installation guidelines cap layered re-roofs at two layers maximum. Beyond that, trapped heat shortens shingle life, and the added weight stresses the original 1950s framing. We recommend tear-off to the deck on stacked Lakewood tract roofs. It’s the honest call, and you’ll get the full service life out of your new CertainTeed shingles. Call (866) 974-2271 and we’ll give you a straight answer on what your roof needs.
The south-facing slope catches full inland-coastal sun all day, every day, for decades. On low-slope gable and hip planes, that concentrated heat cooks the asphalt and strips granules from CertainTeed Landmark and XT shingles years before the shaded north slope shows wear. We see it constantly on Lakewood tract homes. The fix is usually slope-specific replacement rather than a full roof, and we’ll tell you which one you actually need.
Santa Ana events don’t void CertainTeed’s material warranty, but they absolutely can crease tabs, lift seal strips, and tear ridge caps at hip ridges and gable rakes. After a big wind event in Lakewood, or if you need CertainTeed service in Paramount, we recommend a roof inspection before the winter rains arrive. Lifted shingles let water in quietly, and by the time you see the ceiling stain, the deck underneath has likely been wet for weeks. Call (866) 974-2271 for a free wind-damage inspection.
Flashing failures at pipe boots, chimneys, and valleys usually leak in one spot and trace back to a penetration. Failed shingles leak across a wider area, often on the south slope. On Lakewood Park ranches from 1947 – 1955, we most often find flashing problems under two or three old shingle layers where moisture has been trapped for years. We’ll find the source and tell you honestly whether it’s a $240 flashing repair or a roof tear-off.
Yes, for most current-production CertainTeed lines like Landmark and XT 25, we can match the original color closely using current product. Weathered shingles won’t match perfectly on day one, but the color catches up within a season or two. If your Lakewood roof predates the current color lineup, we’ll show you the closest match and let you decide. Call (866) 974-2271 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
