This page is for Long Beach homeowners who have CertainTeed shingles, are planning a tear-off and re-roof, or have a failing roof and want to know if another CertainTeed product is the right call. Dylan Pace and the Crestview Roofing Co Long Beach crew work on CertainTeed systems from Belmont Shore to Bixby Knolls and everywhere between.

How CertainTeed Products Fail and How We Fix Them

CertainTeed makes a solid shingle. But every product line has a failure pattern we see over and over on Long Beach roofs. Here is what actually happens, and what we do about it at replacement.

• XT 25 (3-tab) granule loss and cupping. This is CertainTeed’s entry-level 3-tab shingle, and after 12 to 16 years in Long Beach sun, the asphalt dries out and the shingle edges start to curl upward. Granule loss follows, which means the fiberglass mat underneath gets direct UV exposure. On a re-roof, we almost always recommend stepping up to an architectural line, because the XT 25 has a 25-year limited warranty but a realistic coastal California lifespan closer to 15 to 18 years. The fix at replacement is a full tear-off and upgrade to a heavier CertainTeed laminate or another brand from our lineup.
• Landmark series blow-offs at rake edges. CertainTeed Landmark and Landmark PRO are architectural shingles with good wind ratings on paper, but we regularly see blow-offs at the gable rake edges on Long Beach homes, especially on bluff-adjacent streets in Naples and Belmont Heights where wind comes off the water. The cause is usually a short nail pattern or nails set too high from the original install, not a factory defect. At replacement we re-nail to CertainTeed’s high-wind spec (six nails per shingle) and add a wider starter strip at the rakes.
• Presidentiial Shake and Presidential shake TL ridgeline cracking. The Presidential line is a heavy, thick luxury shingle that looks great, but its weight means any decking that has softened from attic moisture will telegraph cracks and splits at the ridgeline caps. In Long Beach, marine-layer humidity gets into under-ventilated attics and rots the plywood at the peak. We find this constantly. At replacement, we replace the top two courses of decking at the ridge and sometimes add ridge venting while we’re there.
• Mountain Ridge shingle “photo-oxidation fading” on west-facing slopes. Mountain Ridge is a mid-grade architectural shingle with a distinct shadow line. West-facing slopes in Long Beach take brutal afternoon sun, and we see the color fade unevenly after 8 to 10 years, especially in darker colors like Moire Black. It is cosmetic, not structural, but if you are replacing the roof anyway, we will steer you to a line with better granule embedment for that exposure or discuss an alternative from GAF or Owens Corning from the same tier.
• Nail pops and seal-strip failure across multiple lines. This is not exclusive to CertainTeed, but it is the most common reason Long Beach homeowners call us thinking they need spot repairs and end up scheduling a replacement. The seal strip on CertainTeed shingles is thermal-activated, and when shingles are installed in cool weather or on a dusty deck, the seal does not cure fully. Then wind gets under them, nails back out, and the roof looks tired years before its rated life. We fix it at replacement by installing on clean decking and hand-checking seals on warm days before we sign off.

What CertainTeed Roof Replacement Costs in Long Beach

CertainTeed roof replacement in Long Beach pricing depends on the product line, roof complexity, and decking condition. Here are real ranges for the jobs we quote most often in this area.

• XT 25 tear-off and re-roof with Landmark architectural shingles: $11,000 to $16,000 for a typical 1,500 to 2,000 square foot single-story home.
• Landmark or Landmark PRO full replacement: $12,500 to $19,000, including starter strip and hip and ridge caps.
• Presidential Shake or Presidential Shake TL full replacement: $18,000 to $26,000, and the decking repair at the ridges we mentioned earlier usually adds $1,800 to $4,500 depending on how many sheets are rotted.

What moves the price here: roof pitch and accessibility, the number of roof penetrations (chimneys, vents, skylights), whether the decking is OSB or older plywood, and whether you need new gutters or fascia work at the same time. You get a written price before work starts, and the price is the price. Call (562) 471-4832 for an exact quote on your CertainTeed roof.
