CertainTeed Roofing in Lakewood, CA | Barnwood Roofing
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Lakewood and Bellflower CertainTeed service, from inspections and targeted shingle replacement to full tear-off and re-roof work. The thing that makes our CertainTeed work here different is simple: we know the 1950s Lakewood Park tract assemblies better than we know the marketing brochures. If you need a straight answer about whether to repair or replace your CertainTeed roof, call (855) 382-1073.
We’re Barnwood Roofing, led by Ruben Calloway, and we’ve spent years working the uniform ranch blocks that define this city. CertainTeed makes a solid shingle. But how it performs on a low-pitch, skip-sheathed Lakewood original is a different conversation than how it performs on a modern custom home in Cerritos. We work with seven manufacturers, so when we recommend CertainTeed, it’s because it fits your roof and your budget, not because it’s the only brand we stock.
Why Lakewood Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Most roofing crews in Lakewood can nail down a shingle. Far fewer can tell you why your CertainTeed Landmark tabs are creasing along the rear slope, or whether the original skip sheathing underneath is finally done. Ruben Calloway learned the trade through the construction technology program at Chaffey College, then spent years tearing off and rebuilding roofs across the Inland Empire before starting Barnwood. His rule has always been the same: “Tell me what the roof actually needs, then we’ll talk about what it costs.”
We carry genuine CertainTeed shingles and matching accessory components, not off-brand lookalikes. When you call us for shingle replacement, leak repair, or decking replacement, we show up with the right material for the assembly. And because we inspect roofs as a standalone service, you get an honest read before anyone quotes a single square of replacement.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Lakewood
- Creased tabs and failed seal strips on low-pitch rear sections. The shallow gable and near-flat rear roofs common to Lakewood Park ranch plans were often shingled below CertainTeed’s specified minimum pitch. Tabs crease, seal strips lose their grip, and winter rain backs up under the course above. We re-detail the low-slope transition and flashing before resetting the field.
- Cracked three-tab shingles from Santa Ana wind and summer sun. Lakewood’s hot, dry summers bake shingles until they turn brittle. Then a Santa Ana event lifts ridge caps and flashing details on the same low-pitch hips. If one house on the block has wind-driven failure, the neighbors usually do too.
- Sagging shingle tabs over original skip sheathing. Those 1950s tract homes were framed with gaps between sheathing boards. Multiple overlay generations hide the sag until tear-off, but by then the tabs have cracked along the unsupported spans and water has been finding its way through for years.
- UV granule loss on south and west slopes. These tract roofs have little shade and reflect heat off the low-pitch geometry. CertainTeed shingles on the sun-facing slopes show granule loss years before the nominal warranty life. That’s not a defect; it’s Lakewood physics.
- Overlay failures on houses with two or three existing layers. A surprising number of Lakewood Park originals carry multiple layers of old three-tab. The weight and trapped heat cook the top course, and when the seal strips fail, the whole assembly lets go. We fix this with a tear-off to solid sheathing, not another layer.
CertainTeed Service in Lakewood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Lakewood is one of America’s original planned postwar suburbs, and that fact shapes nearly every CertainTeed roof we touch here. The Lakewood Park tract was built fast and cheap in the years right after WWII: compact single-story ranches, shallow gable roofs, near-flat rear sections, and original skip sheathing. The low-pitch rear roof assemblies on one block share the same geometry and the same below-minimum-pitch shingle problem block after block. What that means for CertainTeed owners is straightforward: a wind-driven failure on one 1950s hip roof usually signals the same failing detail on a dozen neighbors’ homes.
We’ve seen this exact pattern play out on a Lakewood Park block off Del Amo Boulevard. Our crew pulled layered CertainTeed three-tab courses off a low-pitch rear section and found the original skip sheathing sagging between rafters, with creased tabs and failed seal strips where the pitch dropped below spec. We laid solid sheathing over the skip boards, re-detailed the low-slope transition and flashing, and set a new CertainTeed Landmark field. By the time we finished, two neighbors on the same block had us out to look at the identical shallow-gable failure on their roofs, and we now also provide CertainTeed service in Paramount.
That’s the real advantage of working with a crew that knows Lakewood’s housing stock. Ruben grew up near the base of the Jurupa Hills in Fontana, where summer heat off the pavement taught him early that a bad roof isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a real problem for real families. That lesson applies every time we climb onto a 1950s Lakewood Park roof.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Lakewood
We install and repair the CertainTeed lines that show up most often on Lakewood roofs. The Landmark architectural series is the common replacement choice on these ranches, and we stock Landmark and Landmark Pro in the colors that fit the neighborhood. Older Lakewood Park homes still carry XT 25 and XT 30 three-tab shingles; we repair those with genuine CertainTeed three-tab where the field still has life, and we quote the tear-off when it doesn’t. We also handle Patriot architectural shingles and, on the later metal conversions, Presidio metal shingles.
On parts, we don’t cut corners. We install genuine CertainTeed starter, ridge, and underlayment per the assembly spec, because mixing brands voids the assembly rating. If a repair only makes sense when the shingle field still has life left, we’ll tell you that plainly. For full CertainTeed sales and service across our coverage area, CertainTeed sales & service is the best place to understand our approach.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Lakewood
What drives the cost of CertainTeed service in Lakewood is the condition of the deck underneath, not the shingle price. A spot shingle replacement or flashing repair on a Landmark roof runs toward the lower end of typical repair pricing. A full tear-off with new solid sheathing and a CertainTeed Landmark field is a bigger job, because you’re correcting the original assembly, not just covering it. Every estimate includes a written line-item scope, and we’ll show you what the deck actually needs before we talk numbers.
Call (855) 382-1073 for a free estimate. We’ll tell you if a repair is enough, and if it isn’t, we’ll explain exactly why.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Lakewood
Shingles can go on it, but only if the pitch meets the manufacturer’s minimum, and many original Lakewood Park rear sections don’t. When they don’t, the correct fix is re-detailing the low-slope transition with the proper membrane and flashing, then setting the shingle field only where the pitch allows. We’ll measure and tell you what applies to your roof. Call (855) 382-1073 for an exact assessment.
Because the houses were built identically. Lakewood Park tract blocks share the same shallow-gable assembly, the same original sheathing, and the same sun and wind exposure. A failure on one hip roof is usually a preview of the same failure next door. That’s why we work block by block, not house by house.
Cheaper up front, yes, but on Lakewood Park originals an overlay usually hides the real problem: original skip sheathing and multiple old layers that have already compromised the assembly. We’ll tell you if your deck can honestly take an overlay, and if it can’t, we’ll quote the tear-off. Reroofing over a failing deck is just paying twice. Call (855) 382-1073 for a free estimate.
Hot, dry summers dry out and crack aged shingles, especially three-tab. Santa Ana winds then lift ridge caps and flashing on low-pitch hips and near-flat rear sections. The minimal winter rain finds whatever damage those two forces left behind. It’s a predictable cycle on these tract blocks, and the fix is in the details: proper flashing, solid sheathing, and shingle installation at the correct pitch.
We repair them as a primary service. Spot shingle replacement, leak repair, flashing and ridge cap fixes, targeted section work: if the field still has life, we’ll quote the repair and leave the rest alone. Replacement is only the answer when the assembly is genuinely done. Call (855) 382-1073 and we’ll assess it honestly.
