How CertainTeed Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Landmark shingles losing granules after hail - The Landmark series is common in Dallas neighborhoods like Lake Highlands and Richardson, and its asphalt mat holds up well until a hard hail event strips the ceramic granule layer. Once that UV armor is gone, the shingle bakes and cracks within two Texas summers. We pull the damaged course, match the color lot from current CertainTeed production or our salvage inventory, and seal with OEM-certified fasteners and sealant strips.
- NorthGate SBS shingles cracking at the rake edge - NorthGate’s rubberized asphalt is built for cold-weather flexibility, but in Dallas heat it can soften and slide if the attic ventilation is marginal. We see this on homes in Addison and Carrollton with original ridge vents that don’t move enough air. Our fix: replace the slipped shingles, then add balanced intake and exhaust ventilation so the repair holds.
- Presidential Shake TL lifting in wind - These heavy laminated shingles look like cedar shakes and weigh nearly triple a standard strip shingle. In Dallas, the weight works against them when the starter course wasn’t nailed to manufacturer’s spec, which we find on about half the older installations we inspect. We re-nail to the high-wind pattern using 1.25-inch galvanized fasteners, not the generic 3/4-inch staples some crews used.
- XT 30 three-tab blow-offs on low-slope areas - The XT 30 is an economy three-tab still found on 1980s ranch homes in Garland and Mesquite. At slopes below 4:12, Dallas driving rain gets underneath, and the adhesive strip degrades faster than on steeper pitches. We don’t just tack down new tabs; we install an ice-and-water shield barrier at the eaves and use six nails per shingle instead of four.
- Flintlastic SA flat membrane blisters near HVAC units - On Dallas commercial flats and residential low-slope additions, Flintlastic self-adhered membrane can trap moisture vapor if the substrate wasn’t fully dry at install. Summer heat expands those blisters until they split. We cut out the blistered field, let the deck breathe with a fan if needed, then patch with Flintlastic GTA base and cap sheets welded to factory spec, not generic peel-and-stick from the hardware store.

Why Dallas Homeowners Call Ridgeline Roofing Co. of Dallas for CertainTeed Work
We’ve been on Dallas roofs since 1984. Clint Harwell grew up in Oak Cliff and learned the trade at Eastfield College in Mesquite from working roofers who didn’t tolerate shortcuts. That shows in how we handle CertainTeed repairs: we know which series were sold here, which colors aged to what shade, and where the local distributors keep current stock. We’re also authorized installers for GAF, Owens Corning, and four other major brands, so if your CertainTeed roof is past repair, we can quote a replacement in the same visit with materials we already know. A roof doesn’t lie - and neither do we. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if the repair fails, we come back. No forms, no runaround.
FAQs
No, a proper repair by a qualified roofer does not void your CertainTeed warranty, though the warranty on the repaired area may be limited to the materials we install. CertainTeed’s original coverage applies to manufacturing defects, not storm or age damage, which is what most Dallas repairs address. We document our work with photos in case you ever need to file a claim. Call (888) 309-8379 if you’d like us to review your warranty paperwork during the estimate.
Sometimes. CertainTeed keeps popular colors like Colonial Slate and Burnt Sienna in production for years, but lines like the Independence or Grand Manor change stock. We maintain relationships with Dallas-area distributors and salvage yards to source close matches, and we’ll show you the replacement shingle against your existing roof before we install it. If the match isn’t acceptable, we’ll say so.
Repair is cheaper when the damage is isolated and the surrounding shingles have five or more years of life left. If you’re seeing widespread granule loss, multiple leak points, or the roof is past 20 years, replacement usually costs less over time than chasing leaks. We’ll tell you straight which path makes sense for your situation. Call (888) 309-8379 for a free inspection and honest assessment.
We typically inspect within 24 hours for active leaks, and most repairs are completed same-day or next-day once approved. During major storm events, priority goes to homes with interior water damage. Our phones are staffed live 24/7, so you won’t wait for a callback window. Call (888) 309-8379 now if water is coming in - we’ll get someone out fast.
Yes. We repair Flintlastic SA and modified bitumen systems on Dallas residential low-slope additions, garages, and commercial buildings. Flat roof work requires different techniques than shingle repair, and our technicians are trained on both. We’ll inspect the substrate, not just the surface, because a flat roof failure usually starts underneath. Call (888) 309-8379 to schedule.
