How CertainTeed Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Landmark shingles with premature granule loss in West Oak Lane and Cedarbrook. We see this on 12-15 year old Landmarks that should have gone 20+. The cause is usually a manufacturing-era asphalt formulation that oxidizes faster under Philadelphia’s freeze-thaw cycles. We strip to deck, inspect for hidden moisture, and reinstall with current-spec Landmark Pro or a comparable upgrade - never just overlay.
• NorthGate SBS-modified shingles losing pliability in summer heat. The rubberized content in NorthGate resists impact well, but on poorly ventilated row-home roofs in Kensington and Fishtown, we’ve watched it soften and scar during 95-degree August weeks. We replace damaged courses and upgrade intake ventilation - usually adding bird-blocked soffit vents that the original builder skipped.
• CertainTeed low-slope membranes (Flintlastic SA) separating at seams on South Philly flat roofs. Self-adhered modified bitumen needs a perfectly clean substrate and proper roll pressure. Storm-chaser crews often skip the primer or roll cold. We cut back to sound substrate, re-prime with CertainTeed-approved asphalt primer, and heat-weld or properly seam new SA membrane - no shortcuts.
• Presidential Shake TL tiles cracking at butt edges in Chestnut Hill and Germantown. These heavy laminates look like slate but carry real weight. When original installers used standard nails instead of the required longer fasteners, wind uplift and thermal movement work the tile loose. We remove courses, inspect fastener penetration into sheathing, and re-fasten to code - typically 1.75-inch nails into solid wood, not just the top layer of plywood.
• Integrity Roof System failures traced to incompatible components. CertainTeed’s warranty requires their starter strips, ridge vents, and underlayment as a system. We find mixed-brand jobs constantly - a previous contractor used generic felt or cut-corner ridge vents. We document what is actually on your roof, quote proper CertainTeed-compatible materials where they make sense, and explain where a quality aftermarket part performs equally well at lower cost. A roof doesn’t lie - and neither do I.

Our CertainTeed Roof Replacement & Installation Process

1. 1
   Call and photo inspection. You speak to a live person, day or night. We schedule a technician who arrives in uniform, background-checked, and climbs your roof - not a drone or binoculars-from-the-driveway survey.
2. 2
   Deck and layer assessment. We photograph everything. On CertainTeed jobs, we specifically check for the Integrity System components that should be present, note any incompatible prior work, and test attic ventilation flow.
3. 3
   Parts decision with full disclosure. We explain OEM CertainTeed replacements versus quality aftermarket alternatives we trust - same performance, different price. You choose. No substitutions happen without your written okay.
4. 4
   Replacement with weather watch. Crews work to complete before rain. In Philadelphia’s unpredictable spring and fall, we monitor radar and tarp protectively if a cell moves in. Most full replacements finish in one to three days.
5. 5
   Post-installation verification. We run water tests on flat sections, verify ridge vent airflow, and photograph the completed work. You get the images and a written 90-Day Done Right Promise - if it is not right, we make it right, no paperwork, no arguing.
6. 6
   Cleanup and final walk. Magnetic sweep of the yard, gutter blowout, and a walk-around with you present. The invoice matches the estimate exactly.

What CertainTeed Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Philadelphia

Pricing depends on what we find once we are on your roof, but Philadelphia homeowners with CertainTeed systems typically see these ranges:

What moves the price: accessibility (steep pitches in Manayunk cost more in labor protection), layers to remove (three-layer tear-offs add dump fees), deck condition, and whether your home needs ventilation correction. We quote everything upfront. Call (855) 554-5116 for a free estimate - we will give you the straight number, not a low-ball that balloons later.
