How CertainTeed Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

After close to three decades on Florida roofs, Erik Lindgren can usually spot a CertainTeed failure from the driveway. Here’s what we see most often in West Palm Beach, and what we do about it:

• Landmark series granule loss at the eaves. CertainTeed’s Landmark architectural shingles carry a heavy granule layer, but in West Palm Beach’s afternoon downpours, water sheets off the roof edge fast enough to scour granules loose over time. You’ll see dark patches forming along the first two or three courses. If caught early, spot replacement and a re-seal of the affected area stops it. Missed, the fiberglass mat underneath starts breaking down and you get leaks behind the fascia board.
• Presidential Shake TL cupping at the butt edge. The thick luxury shingles in the Presidential line are beautiful, but their laminated thickness makes them more rigid. When attic ventilation is poor – which is common in older West Palm Beach homes built before ridge vents became code – heat builds up and the butt edge of these shingles starts to curl or cup. We fix the ventilation first, then replace the affected shingles. Patching without addressing airflow just means you’ll see the same problem two summers later.
• Flashing failure at sidewalls on XT 25 three-tab roofs. The older XT 25 three-tab line – discontinued but still on thousands of West Palm Beach homes – used a thinner mat than today’s architectural shingles. When step flashing corrodes or lifts, water travels behind the shingle and into the wall cavity before you ever see a ceiling stain. We pull the affected courses, replace the step flashing with properly lapped aluminum or copper, and re-lay the shingles. On CertainTeed roofs specifically, we check the starter strip condition too, because a failed starter strip on a three-tab roof means the bottom course has no real seal.
• Leak at valley intersections on Landmark Pro installations. West Palm Beach roofs get a lot of wind-driven rain from the east. If a valley was cut tight or metal not woven properly, water overwhelms the channel and runs sideways under the shingle courses. We’ve fixed enough of these to know the fix usually isn’t more sealant – it’s re-cutting the valley with a proper open metal channel and replacing the surrounding shingles.
• Vent boot gasket cracking on virtually every CertainTeed roof after year eight. This one isn’t brand-specific to the shingles, but the pipe boots CertainTeed’s own accessory line ships with use a rubber gasket that Florida’s UV exposure bakes hard. When it cracks, you get water following the pipe down into the attic. We replace with a storm-collar-style boot that fits over the existing pipe and seals against the shingle. It’s a $200 to $350 fix that prevents thousands in insulation and drywall damage.

Our CertainTeed Roof Repair Process

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. Not a voicemail tree. You describe what you’re seeing – a stain, a missing shingle, granules in the gutter – and we schedule a time that works for your household.
2. 2
   We diagnose on the roof, not from a drone photo. Our tech walks the affected area, checks adjacent slopes, and looks at attic ventilation and flashing conditions. CertainTeed failures are rarely isolated to one spot, and we want to find the cause, not just the symptom.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM vs. quality aftermarket. Where your CertainTeed warranty still has life, we use OEM or manufacturer-equivalent materials and document the repair properly so the remaining coverage stays intact. Where the warranty is long gone or the part is no longer made – like XT 25 shingles – we use a quality aftermarket match that performs as well or better.
4. 4
   The written price. Before any work starts, you get a line-item price in dollars. Erik’s rule is simple: the price he hands you before we start is the price on your final invoice. If we find something unexpected mid-repair, we stop and show you before spending another dollar. No surprises, ever.
5. 5
   The repair. Drop cloths are down before the ladder goes up. Shoe covers go on at the door. We work quietly, clean as we go, and protect the interior path from roof access to exit. If your dog needs to stay inside, we coordinate the door schedule with you.
6. 6
   The test, the photo, the handoff. We run water on the repaired area to confirm it’s sealed, then photograph the clean-up before we leave. You see the photo. You see the invoice. The job’s done when you’re satisfied, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers it from that day forward.

CertainTeed makes a good product, and when it’s installed right and maintained, it holds up to South Florida’s heat and rain. But when something goes wrong, you want a crew that actually understands the material – not a generalist who’ll slap sealant on the first gap they find.

That multi-brand experience means we understand how CertainTeed compares, where its real strengths are, and where its known pain points live. We carry that knowledge into every diagnostic visit, and we back the work with the 365-Day Done Right Promise – stamped on every job, no fine print. You’ll also get the Cedarwell Care Promise: Clean up like it’s our own home, Ask before we move or touch anything, Respect your family’s time and quiet hours, and Explain the price before the work. That’s not marketing language. It’s how our crew operates on every West Palm Beach job, whether we’re repairing a flat roof on a Clematis Street commercial building or replacing a vent boot on a cottage near Northwood Village.
