This page is for Sacramento homeowners who specifically own a CertainTeed roof and want a roofing company that knows those products well enough to give them an honest repair or replacement recommendation. We’re not a CertainTeed dealer and we’re not authorized by CertainTeed, but we’ve repaired enough of their roofs across Sacramento to know where they fail, why, and what actually holds up in this heat. Greg Holloway has been walking Sacramento roofs for years and still looks at every job himself before any price gets quoted.

How CertainTeed Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• Landmark shingles losing granules faster than expected. CertainTeed’s Landmark line is one of the most common architectural shingles we see on Sacramento homes, and the biggest failure mode we find is premature granule loss on south-facing slopes. Sacramento’s summer sun bakes these roofs for months at a stretch, and once the protective granules wear away, the asphalt underneath begins to oxidize and crack. We see this most often on roofs installed between 2003 and 2012, where the original granule embed was light. Our fix: we photo-document the wear pattern, check the roof’s ventilation to rule out attic heat as an accelerator, and either patch localized damage or recommend targeted resloping of problem areas.
• Presidential Shake TL curling at the corners on valley edges. The Presidential Shake TL is a heavy, luxury shingle that looks great but has a known weak point where valley flashing meets the shingle edge. In Sacramento’s dry-then-rainy cycle, those edges expand and contract, and after 10 to 15 years they’ll start to lift and curl. The fix is rarely a full roof replacement – it’s usually removing the curled shingles, checking the valley metal for pinhole corrosion, and reinstalling with proper nailing and a compatible sealant. We’ve done this repair on homes near Land Park and through East Sacramento’s craftsman streets, where Presidential Shake is common.
• WinterGuard underlayment delaminating in older Sacramento roofs. Sacramento doesn’t get the snow loads CertainTeed designs WinterGuard for, but we do get long wet winters with heavy rain on older decking. On roofs where WinterGuard was installed over rough or poorly prepped decking, the membrane can separate from the wood, forming air pockets that trap moisture. The symptom is spongy areas that you can feel from the attic side after a big storm. The fix is cutting out the failed section, letting the decking dry, and reinstalling a fresh membrane under the shingles in that zone.
• Integrity shingles cracking at nail lines after high-wind events. CertainTeed’s Integrity shingles are a more affordable line, and on Sacramento homes with older plywood decking that flexes, we see cracking along the nail line after big wind storms come through. The real culprit is usually nails driven too deep at original installation – the shingle flexes in wind, and the overdriven nail point acts like a punch. The repair is removing the cracked shingle, checking the decking for movement, and reinstalling with proper nail depth and a newer, more flexible seal strip. It’s a small fix that prevents tear-off and water intrusion later.
• Ridge cap shingles failing before the field shingles. On almost every CertainTeed roof we inspect in Sacramento that’s 12 years or older, the ridge cap shows more wear than the field shingles. The ridge gets no shade and takes the sun from both sides, so the granules wear off there first. CertainTeed’s ridge cap products are good, but Sacramento’s UV load shortens their life compared to other climates. The fix is to replace just the ridge cap, which is a fraction of the cost of a full roof and buys you several more years out of the main roof surface.

Our CertainTeed Roofing Company Process

1. 1
   You call, a live person answers, and we schedule the visit. Greg or a senior tech will ask what you’re seeing – stains on the ceiling, granules in the gutter, a leak after the last storm – and we’ll give you a two-hour arrival window. When we say we’ll be there, we’re there.
2. 2
   We walk the roof and the attic. On a CertainTeed roof, we’re checking the obvious spots first – ridge cap wear, valley edges, flashing points, and the underlayment condition from above. In the attic, we look for decking stains and ventilation problems that mimic or worsen shingle failures. Greg walks every job himself before a price is written down.
3. 3
   You get a written price before any work starts. We don’t change the price at the door. If we find something the roofer before us missed, we cover that in the same written estimate, line by line, so there are no surprises.
4. 4
   We make the repair using the right parts for the job. On CertainTeed roofs, we’ll use OEM CertainTeed materials where the warranty situation calls for it, and we’re clear about when a quality aftermarket part is functionally identical for less money. You get to decide with full information, not pressure.
5. 5
   We clean up and hand you the written guarantee. Before the crew leaves, you’ll have a written guarantee on the repair, covering exactly what was done and for how long. We leave the property cleaner than we found it – that’s the Kingswell Way, and we don’t make exceptions.
6. 6
   If it fails inside the guarantee window, we come back at no charge. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every repair for a full year. If the same problem comes back, we’re back on the roof at no cost to you, no questions asked.
