Why Burbank Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Ruben Calloway grew up near the base of the Jurupa Hills in Fontana, where heat off the pavement taught him early what a failing roof does to a family. He learned the trade through the construction technology program at Chaffey College, then spent years working roofs across the Inland Empire before starting Barnwood Roofing. His rule on every job: “Tell me what the roof actually needs, then we’ll talk about what it costs.”
We carry that same approach into Burbank. Our crew has installed and repaired CertainTeed products across the city’s mix of pre-war bungalows and flat-roofed studio buildings for years, with experience that extends to CertainTeed in Universal City as well. We know how Landmark, Presidential, and Presidio systems age under San Fernando Valley sun, and we’re direct about what’s repairable. We stock CertainTeed-branded ridge cap, starter, and accessory components locally so a Burbank repair doesn’t drag out waiting on parts from a distributor across town.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Burbank
- Granule depletion and tab curling on south- and west-facing Landmark planes. Burbank’s summer heat regularly pushes into the 90s and 100s, and that sun bakes asphalt shingles faster than in coastal LA. We see Landmark roofs ten years in with the south slope nearly bare while the north slope still looks new. If the matting is intact, we repair. If it’s cracking, we’ll tell you plainly that patching is throwing money away.
- Ponding and flashing failures on flat built-up and membrane roofs over the studio district. Flat roofs around soundstages and production offices collect water after winter storms, and that water sits against seams and flashings until it finds a path in. We spend as much time clearing and re-flashing drainage paths as we do working the roof field itself.
- Brittle, sun-cracked underlayment leaking at valleys and penetrations. Older Burbank ranches and bungalows often have CertainTeed shingles that look fine from the street, but the underlayment beneath is baked and cracked. We see this at valleys, pipe boots, and chimney flashings, where surface shingles hide what’s failing underneath.
- Wind-lifted ridge caps and loosened fasteners on exposed hip and ridge lines. Burbank gets occasional winter storms and downslope wind events that grab ridge caps on exposed roof lines. Lifted caps let water run under the shingle field, and the fix is usually a localized cap reset and reseal, not a full re-roof.
- Screen-line and HVAC curb penetrations on production roofs. Studio-district flat roofs carry a tangle of HVAC units, vents, and screening mounts. Each penetration is a potential leak point, especially after summer heat expands and contracts the flashing. We re-flash and seal these properly so the next storm doesn’t find the same weak spot.
CertainTeed Service in Burbank: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Burbank is a media-production capital, and that shapes roofing work in ways that don’t apply in Glendale or North Hollywood. The concentration of film and TV studios, soundstages, and post-production facilities means our CertainTeed and flat-roof crews regularly work over active productions. Scheduling around shoot days and staging isn’t a courtesy here; it’s the job. Rooftop HVAC, screening, and penetration flashing matter as much as the shingle field itself, because noise and dust from a tear-off can shut down a soundstage below. On a Magnolia Park bungalow, we found a CertainTeed Landmark roof that looked sound from the curb but leaked at a valley where the original 1940s decking had dried and cupped. We pulled the field back, sistered and re-decked the soft section, replaced the baked underlayment and valley flashing, then re-laid matching Landmark shingles and new ridge cap. The homeowner got a dry ceiling without a full tear-off. That’s the difference between a roofer who looks at the surface and one who knows what Burbank’s older homes hide underneath.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Burbank
We service the full CertainTeed lineup you’re likely to find on Burbank homes and commercial buildings. Landmark architectural shingles are the most common on the city’s single-family stock, followed by older XT 25 and XT 30 three-tab installations on mid-century ranches. Presidential Shake TL shows up on higher-end bungalow re-roofs where homeowners want more dimension, and Presidio metal shingle and tile-look metal systems appear on both residential retrofits and some studio-district structures.
For repairs, we use CertainTeed-branded ridge cap, starter, underlayment, and flashing wherever those components belong in the assembly. Where aftermarket boots and vents genuinely outperform on flat-roof penetrations, we’ll say so and use them. We won’t sell a full replacement when a localized CertainTeed repair will hold, and we won’t pretend a repair will work when the granule loss or baked underlayment means the money’s wasted.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Burbank
CertainTeed repair work in Burbank runs on a spread, and the honest answer depends on what we find when we get on the roof. Here’s what drives the number:
- Flashing repair or replacement: $150 – $500 depending on the linear feet and how much old flashing needs to be pulled and re-sealed.
- Localized shingle replacement (Landmark or XT): $250 – $900, driven by the size of the damaged field and whether we need to match existing shingle color.
- Flat roof patch (built-up or membrane): $400 – $1,200 for studio-district or residential low-slope sections, depending on ponding depth and penetration count.
- Valley re-deck and re-shingle (like the Magnolia Park job): $800 – $2,500 when decking is cupped or soft and needs sistering or replacement.
A free estimate means an actual inspection, not a number pulled from a truck. We’ll walk the roof, explain what’s failing, and give you a written line-item quote. Call (855) 382-1073 to schedule it. And if the roof only needs a repair, that’s what we’ll quote.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Burbank
Yes. Flat built-up and membrane roofs over soundstages and production offices carry HVAC curbs, vents, and screening that create penetration points no residential roof has. The work is drainage-focused: clearing paths, re-flashing penetrations, and sealing seams that ponding water exploits. Call (855) 382-1073 if your flat roof is ponding after rain; we’ll inspect it and tell you what’s actually needed.
In Burbank’s older homes, the shingle surface often outlives the underlayment. We frequently find baked, cracked underlayment at valleys and penetrations on 1940s and 1950s decks where the shingles still look serviceable from the street. The fix is localized: pull the affected field, replace underlayment and flashing, re-lay matching shingles. No full tear-off needed if the decking is sound.
Usually, yes. Wind-lifted ridge caps on exposed hip and ridge lines are a common Burbank issue, and the repair is a localized cap reset with new fasteners and sealant. If the underlying ridge shingles are intact and the decking is dry, there’s no reason to replace the roof. We’ll tell you if we find something worse underneath, and we’ll show you photos either way.
We do. Burbank properties sometimes mix Landmark shingles on the main house with a Presidio metal section on a patio or addition, or a flat membrane roof over a studio outbuilding. We service all of them under one roof, and we’ll coordinate the work so you’re not juggling multiple contractors and schedules.
No. Barnwood Roofing is an independent roofing company, not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by CertainTeed. That independence matters. We’re not bound to a single brand’s sales targets, so our recommendation comes from what your roof needs and what your budget can support across seven manufacturers’ product lines: CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. If CertainTeed is the right fit, we’ll say so. If a repair will hold, we’ll tell you that too.
