CertainTeed Roofing in Santa Monica, CA | Barnwood Roofing
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing repair and replacement across Santa Monica, from the flats near Lincoln Boulevard up to the bluff-top streets north of Wilshire, and we also handle CertainTeed repair in Venice. The thing that makes our CertainTeed work here different is simple: we know which shingle and tile assemblies fail from salt and fog rather than sun, because that is what we tear into every week. If you need CertainTeed service in Santa Monica, call Barnwood Roofing at (855) 382-1073 for a straight assessment.
Why Santa Monica Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We are an independent contractor. Not authorized, sponsored, or endorsed by CertainTeed. That matters more here than most places, because Santa Monica’s coastal conditions do not reward blind brand loyalty. What they reward is knowing which CertainTeed products hold up within half a mile of the ocean and which ones need corrosion-rated fasteners and flashing from day one. Ruben Calloway, our owner, came up through the construction technology program at Chaffey College and spent years working roofs across the Inland Empire before starting Barnwood Roofing. He brought that same habit of flat-out honest assessment here: if a repair will hold, we tell you. If a full replacement is the only sensible call, we tell you that too, and explain exactly why. We install and repair CertainTeed shingles and tile assemblies daily, and we carry our CertainTeed sales & service knowledge into every diagnosis.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Santa Monica
- Corroded galvanized fasteners and flashing on shingle roofs. On bluff-top streets north of Wilshire, onshore salt air eats galvanized components in a few years. Shingles look intact but the nails holding them are rusting through, and that is when water sneaks under otherwise healthy courses.
- Algae streaking and moss on north-facing CertainTeed slopes. The marine layer brings near-daily fog and high humidity even when it barely rains. North-facing slopes stay damp, and algae and moss take hold long before sun damage ever shows up on the south side.
- Underlayment failure beneath tile assemblies that still look solid. We see a lot of CertainTeed Symphony concrete tile in Santa Monica’s Spanish and Mediterranean homes. The tile face can look perfect while the underlayment and valley felt beneath have dried out and cracked, so leaks surface at valleys and penetrations with no visibly broken tile.
- Skip sheathing under original wood shake on 1920s – 1950s bungalows. Many of those older Santa Monica homes have original wood shake or early CertainTeed three-tab shingles sitting on skip sheathing that will not accept new nailing without decking work. You cannot just nail new shingles over it and expect the roof to hold.
- Leak patterns at flashing and valleys after years of salt-fogged fasteners. The failure often starts at the metal, not the shingle. We replace flashed components with corrosion-rated materials rather than swapping shingles and hoping the leak stops.
CertainTeed Service in Santa Monica: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is what you need to know if you own a CertainTeed roof in Santa Monica. The bluff-top blocks north of Wilshire take constant onshore salt and fog, and re-roofs close to the beach can be pulled into California Coastal Commission review and local view/height rules. That means two things for CertainTeed owners specifically. First, fastener corrosion is the primary failure mode, not sun damage or hail. Galvanized flashing and nails that survive for decades inland can rust through in just a few years here. Second, the permit timeline matters. If your CertainTeed roof on a bluff-top street needs tear-off and replacement, we scope the job around both the corrosion repairs and a coastal permit process that inland LA roofers never encounter. Barnwood Roofing plans for both from the first inspection, so you do not get halfway through the job and find out you need a Coastal Commission review.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Santa Monica
We service the CertainTeed lines most common across Santa Monica’s housing stock and offer CertainTeed repair in Century City. That includes Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential Shake and Presidential TL on higher-end homes, Symphony concrete tile profiles on Spanish and Mediterranean roofs, and XT 25 three-tab shingles still sitting on plenty of older bungalows. Our approach to parts is simple: we match CertainTeed-branded accessories like ridge cap, starter, and hip-and-ridge to the field product so the assembly performs as designed. Where the spec can be met or beaten, we substitute quality aftermarket underlayments and flashing. We stock what we need locally for fast Santa Monica turnaround, and we will tell you before we start exactly what is OEM CertainTeed material and what is a spec-equal substitute.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Santa Monica
What drives the cost of CertainTeed roofing work in Santa Monica and CertainTeed in Culver City is not always the shingles themselves. It is the condition of the deck, the fasteners, and the flashing underneath. Repair work on a small leak might run $400 to $900. A full tear-off and re-roof on a typical Santa Monica bungalow lands somewhere in the $14,000 to $28,000 range depending on the CertainTeed line you choose, the decking repairs needed, and whether coastal review adds steps. We provide free written estimates, and every estimate breaks the job into line items so you can see exactly where the money goes. Call (855) 382-1073 to schedule a free inspection and we will walk you through the numbers on your specific roof.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Santa Monica
Because salt-laden fog and onshore wind-driven moisture from the ocean are constantly hitting your roof, and galvanized coatings were never meant to hold up to that for more than a few years. We replace failed galvanized components with corrosion-rated fasteners and flashing, and we re-seal the affected slopes. Call (855) 382-1073 for an exact quote on your roof.
The tile surface can stay solid for decades while the underlayment and valley felt beneath it dry out, crack, and let water through at the valley and penetrations. We remove the tile in the affected area, replace the underlayment, and re-set the tile so the assembly seals properly. That is a repair we do regularly on Santa Monica’s Spanish and Mediterranean homes.
Yes, in many cases. Homes close to the beach can be pulled into California Coastal Commission review, and local view and height preservation rules apply. We scope the permit side of the job during the estimate so you have a realistic timeline before any work begins.
If the existing roof sits on skip sheathing, which many 1950s Santa Monica bungalows do, you cannot nail new shingles directly onto it. The roof needs a solid deck first. We will inspect what is under your existing shingles and tell you plainly whether a repair or a re-deck and replacement is the right call.
It is the marine layer, not rain. Near-daily fog and high humidity keep north-facing slopes damp enough for moss and algae to grow, even during dry months. We can clean the growth and recommend treatment, though the underlying moisture issue is a fact of life close to the coast. Call (855) 382-1073 for an inspection and a repair plan that fits your roof.
