How CertainTeed Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

CertainTeed makes solid materials, but every product line has its failure patterns. Here’s what we see on San Francisco roofs and what we do about it. This is information you won’t find on the manufacturer’s website because they don’t do repair work.

• Landmark shingle granule loss on south-facing slopes. San Francisco’s fog cycles and intense afternoon sun on south-facing roofs accelerate granule shedding on CertainTeed Landmark and Landmark Pro shingles. You’ll see bare spots where the fiberglass mat shows through. Granule loss means the shingle’s UV protection is gone. We replace affected shingles and check the surrounding area for hidden thinning before it becomes a leak.
• Presidential Shake cupping and wind lift on Twin Peaks and Diamond Heights exposure. CertainTeed Presidential Shake is a thick, architectural shingle, but sustained wind from the west can lift edges over time. Once the seal strip breaks, moisture gets under the shingle. We reseal when the shingle is sound, and replace lifted shingles when they’ve deformed. The fix is different for each condition, and we’ll show you which one you have.
• Flashing failures at the roof-to-wall junction on Sunset and Richmond flat roofs. San Francisco’s fog keeps flashing seams damp for months at a time. On CertainTeed Flintlastic and Liberty flat roof systems we regularly see corroded or separated metal flashing at parapet walls. The membrane itself is often fine. We replace the flashing, reset the termination bar, and reseal the seam with material compatible with the existing CertainTeed membrane. Mixing incompatible sealants is how small leaks become big repairs, so we match the chemistry.
• Vent boot and pipe collar cracking on all CertainTeed steep-slope systems. The rubber boot around plumbing vents degrades from UV exposure and salt air, especially on homes within six blocks of the coast. When the boot cracks, water follows the pipe into the attic. We replace boots with a high-quality aftermarket unit that outlasts the original and fit it to the CertainTeed shingle overlap correctly, so water sheds the way the system was designed to shed.
• Valley erosion where heavy San Francisco rain channels through narrow valleys. On Victorian and Edwardian homes with steep roof planes, valleys carry a lot of water fast. When CertainTeed shingles in a valley wear through or the valley metal pulls loose, the leak shows up inside quickly. We rebuild valleys with new metal or fresh shingles depending on the original installation. We also check the valley’s slope and width, because a poorly sized valley will just fail again.

Our CertainTeed Roof Repair Process

Here’s how a CertainTeed repair goes with our crew, from the first call to the cleanup.

1. 1
   You call, a live person answers. We ask what you’re seeing, where the water is showing up, and what type of roof you have. We’ll schedule a visit that fits your window.
2. 2
   We walk the roof and diagnose. We don’t guess from the ground. A technician gets on the roof, finds every compromised area, and takes photos. We’ll show you what we found and explain what’s actually causing the problem.
3. 3
   You get a written price before any work starts. That’s The Garrison Code. The price on paper is the price. It doesn’t move at the door, and it doesn’t grow after we start pulling shingles.
4. 4
   We make the repair with the right parts. Where the manufacturer’s warranty matters, we use OEM CertainTeed components. Where an aftermarket part performs better (like a upgraded vent boot or a stainless flashing), we’ll tell you why and put the choice on the written estimate. We also stock GAF and Owens Corning materials, so multi-brand roofs get handled in one visit.
5. 5
   We test the repair. We run water on the repaired area and verify the seal before we come down. If it leaks, we’re not done.
6. 6
   You get the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Every repair is guaranteed for one full year. If it fails within that year, we come back and make it right at no charge.

Why San Francisco Homeowners Call Brennan Roofing Co San Francisco for CertainTeed Work

CertainTeed roofs need a contractor who knows what they’re looking at before they touch it. Travis Oakley and our crew have worked San Francisco roofs long enough to know that a leak on a Sunset District flat roof and a leak on an Alamo Square Victorian rarely have the same cause. We read the roof honestly: what needs replacing now, what can wait two seasons, and what a salesman might oversell you on. We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized shop, so our interest is in fixing your roof the right way once, not in protecting a quota.

Every job starts with a written price in hand. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform. And every repair is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: in writing, for one full year, with a free return visit if it fails. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s the same on every job we do in San Francisco.
