CertainTeed Roofing in Van Nuys, CA | Barnwood Roofing
If you need CertainTeed roofing service in Van Nuys, we’re the crew to call at (855) 382-1073. We’re an independent roofing contractor, which means we work on CertainTeed roofs every week without being tied to any manufacturer’s sales targets, so our advice is based on what we find on your roof, not what we’re pushed to sell. The thing that sets our CertainTeed work apart here: most Van Nuys homes have layered, shallow-pitch tract roofs that need a full tear-off before any new shingle goes down, and we know exactly how CertainTeed products perform under those Valley conditions. Call (855) 382-1073 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why Van Nuys Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’ve pulled old CertainTeed shingles off hundreds of roofs across Van Nuys, so we know how Landmark architectural shingles age on south-facing slopes that bake all summer, and where XT 25 three-tab courses tend to fail after years of thermal cycling. Ruben Calloway, our owner, grew up near the base of the Jurupa Hills in Fontana, where summer heat off the pavement taught him early that a bad roof is a real problem for real families, and he’s built Barnwood Roofing on flat-out honest assessments. If a repair will hold, we’ll tell you. If a full replacement is the only sensible call, we’ll tell you that too, and explain exactly why. We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider, not factory-authorized or manufacturer-affiliated, which is precisely what lets us tell you the truth about your roof without a sales quota in the background. Our CertainTeed sales & service work spans leak repair, re-roofing, and full replacements, and we use CertainTeed-branded shingles and accessories when the existing roof is CertainTeed so the assembly and color match.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Van Nuys
CertainTeed makes solid roofing products, but Van Nuys heat and the way original tract roofs were built create a predictable set of failures. These are the ones we see most often:
- Granule loss and blistering on south- and west-facing Landmark slopes. Triple-digit Valley summers bake these architectural shingles until granules slough off and blisters form, which shortens reflective life and starts leaks at the thinned spots. It’s not a defect in the shingle; it’s what trapped heat does out here.
- Seal-strip failure and tab lift on older XT 25 three-tab courses. Wind-driven winter rain gets under tabs that looked fine all dry season because the adhesive strips have dried out and released. The first atmospheric-river storm after a hot summer is when these calls flood in.
- Trapped moisture damage on layered re-covers. When a second or third layer of CertainTeed shingles was laid over an original low-slope tract roof, heat builds up and hides deck or flashing decay underneath. By the time water shows inside, the deck is usually gone.
- Dried, cracked flashing and vent-boot seals at penetrations. Van Nuys gets little steady rainfall, so failed pipe flashings and vent boots can go unnoticed for a dry season or two, then suddenly pour during the first real winter storm.
- Ponding at seams on flat and shallow-pitch sections. Apartment buildings off Van Nuys Blvd and original tract roofs east of the boulevard often have low slopes where water stands after a storm, wearing through seams and flashing faster than the shingles themselves.
CertainTeed Service in Van Nuys: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
The roofing conversation in Van Nuys is rarely about what style you want. It’s about how many layers are on your original Valley tract roof and whether it needs a full tear-off to meet current Title 24 cool-roof requirements. Van Nuys sits in the east San Fernando Valley, where summer highs routinely hit triple digits and the valley traps heat, so CertainTeed shingles and flat-roof membranes take extreme UV and thermal cycling, which means granule loss, blistering, and dried-out seams are accelerated. The post-WWII subdivisions east of Van Nuys Blvd were built with shallow-pitch roofs that routinely carry two or three layered shingle courses today, so a CertainTeed re-roof here is usually a full tear-off to bare deck, and the replacement shingle has to meet reflectivity rules the original roof never did. After a summer of 100°+ heat, the first real winter storm is when the flat-roof apartment buildings off Van Nuys Blvd and the original shallow-pitch tract roofs east of the boulevard all call at once. The seams and flashings that survived the dry season are the ones that were quietly failing all along. We plan our Van Nuys CertainTeed work around that reality, not around what a catalog says the shingle should do.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Van Nuys
We install, repair, and re-roof with Nearly all of CertainTeed’s main product lines: Landmark architectural shingles, XT 25 three-tab shingles, Presidio metal roofing, and RoofRunner synthetic underlayment. Our parts approach is simple: when the existing roof is CertainTeed, we use CertainTeed-branded shingles, starter, ridge, and underlayment so the assembly and color match. For flashing and vent boots, we’ll use whichever product genuinely holds up better, from CertainTeed or from quality aftermarket manufacturers, because a boot that fails in two years is a warranty on paper, not in a Van Nuys attic. We keep common CertainTeed colorways and accessories on hand for quicker turnaround on Van Nuys repairs, and we’ll be direct about whether a spot repair buys a few years or your layered shingles are at the end of their life and a full tear-off is the only call that makes sense.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Van Nuys
A repair fixes a specific failure, like a dried-out pipe boot or a lifted tab, and buys time. Replacement tears off all the layers to the deck and installs a new CertainTeed system with proper underlayment and flashing. East of Van Nuys Blvd, most shallow-pitch roofs have two or three old layers, so repairs on a layered roof are usually temporary; the underlying deck is already carrying stress from trapped heat. If your roof has multiple layers and fails at the seams, replacement is often the only call that won’t cost you again in two years. Call (855) 382-1073 and we’ll tell you honestly which one you need.
No, we’re an independent CertainTeed service provider. We’re not authorized, sponsored, or warranty-endorsed by CertainTeed. That independence is the point: we’re free to tell you when a repair is enough, when a full replacement is the only sensible call, and which product line fits your home and budget, without a manufacturer’s sales program in the equation.
When your existing roof is CertainTeed, we use CertainTeed-branded shingles, starter, ridge, and underlayment so the assembly and color match. For flashing and vent boots, we’ll use whichever product actually holds up better, from CertainTeed or from an aftermarket brand, because we’d rather put on a boot that lasts than a logo that looks consistent for six months.
We service Landmark architectural shingles, XT 25 three-tab shingles, Presidio metal roofing, and RoofRunner synthetic underlayment. That covers the vast majority of CertainTeed roofs in Van Nuys, both residential and the smaller commercial strips along Van Nuys Blvd and Sepulveda, plus CertainTeed repair in Encino for nearby properties.
A typical single-story tract home tear-off and full CertainTeed replacement takes three to five working days, depending on deck repairs and weather, and we offer CertainTeed service in North Hills with the same timeline. A spot repair is usually done in half a day. We’ll give you a written schedule with the estimate. Call (855) 382-1073 to get yours started.
