CertainTeed Roofing in Paramount, CA | Select Roof Repair
We provide independent CertainTeed service across Paramount, CA, and the work here has a rhythm unlike most of the surrounding cities. Most CertainTeed calls in Paramount aren’t about bad shingles. They’re about what’s underneath them: original tar-and-gravel flat sections, multiple patch layers, and seams that fail after the first heavy rain of winter. If you’ve got a leak, call (855) 382-0485 and we’ll tell you exactly what’s going on before anyone touches your roof.
Let’s be direct about what we are and aren’t. We’re a roofing-only company that works on CertainTeed systems every week, but we are an independent CertainTeed service provider, not authorized by, affiliated with, or endorsed by CertainTeed. That independence matters. When we recommend a CertainTeed product, it’s because it fits your Paramount roof, not because a contract tells us to. See the rest of our CertainTeed sales & service coverage.
Why Paramount Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes good roofing: Landmark shingles, Presidential Shake, XT 25 and XT 30 three-tabs, Flintlastic for low-slope work. But a product is only as good as the diagnosis behind it, and diagnosis is where Paramount throws curves. Most of the city’s housing stock went up in the 1950s and ’60s, and a huge share of those single-story tract homes still carry their original flat or low-slope sections, often with shingles laid over them later. That layering changes how a CertainTeed roof ages here.
Noel Carrasco, the owner of Select Roof Repair, grew up in the Midway City pocket just off Bolsa Avenue and has spent 25 years on roofs across this part of Los Angeles County. He learned the trade through the Construction Technology program at Golden West College, then spent years working alongside journeymen roofers until flat roofs, tile, and comp shingles stopped surprising him. When a Paramount homeowner calls with a ceiling stain that first appeared after a long dry spell, Noel’s first instruction to the crew is usually the same: check the tie-ins before you touch a shingle.
We cover all of Paramount’s 90723 ZIP code, from the residential blocks near Paramount Park to the older tracts off Somerset Boulevard. That’s part of our larger Paramount service area.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Paramount
- Leaks at flat-roof tie-ins and scuppers. Paramount’s mid-century additions mean a lot of shingle fields drain onto flat sections. When the termination flashing between the two gets patched over too many times, it stops lapping correctly, and water gets in at the seam. The shingles look fine. The leak isn’t in the shingles. We re-flash the tie-in and stop chasing the wrong problem.
- Granule loss and wind-lifted tabs on south and west slopes. Paramount gets real inland heat. The sun bakes CertainTeed three-tab and Landmark granules until they loosen, and it dries out the sealant strips. Then the Santa Ana winds come, and tabs lift. We see this pattern on south-facing and west-facing exposure more than anywhere else in the city.
- Dry-rotted vent boots and pipe collars. These single-story tract homes run hot attics. The rubber boots around plumbing vents crack and dry out under a CertainTeed field, and water runs down the penetration instead of showing obvious field damage. Homeowners often blame the shingles. We replace the boot and save you a shingle tear-off.
- Water through lap seams after long dry spells. Paramount’s rainfall pattern is extreme: months of drought, then one storm system that drops several inches. When CertainTeed shingles sit over original tar-and-gravel, the water gets pushed into lap seams and around penetrations rather than through the field. The first significant rain reveals what the last six months hid.
- Chasing leaks on roofs with layered construction. Decades of additions and modifications create complex roof transitions. We regularly find homes in Paramount where two or three roof systems meet at odd angles. The CertainTeed field might be fine, but the connections are not. That’s the diagnosis that matters.
CertainTeed Service in Paramount: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the part most roofing pages won’t tell you about Paramount. The city’s building department requires a permit for any re-roofing. Not just replacement, any re-roof. And many of the original tar-and-gravel flat roofs on these tract homes have been patched and recoated multiple times over the decades. So a CertainTeed re-roof quote in Paramount often has to start with what’s actually under those old layers: how many coats of emulsion, where the last patch was, whether the deck is still sound. The shingle selection comes later. A contractor who quotes you a certainteed price without looking under the existing roof isn’t quoting Paramount real conditions.
On a 1950s single-story near Paramount Park, we got called after the first real rain of the season for a ceiling stain the homeowner blamed on the CertainTeed shingles over the front slope. We pulled the pipe boot and opened the low-slope tie-in at the rear addition. The leak was a failed termination flashing over a long-patched flat section draining toward a scupper. We re-flashed the seam, replaced the dry-rotted vent boot, and patched the flat. We didn’t touch a single shingle. The stain stopped. That’s the difference between treating a symptom and finding the leak.
CertainTeed’s Flintlastic rolled roofing is common on low-slope Paramount work, and we keep compatible materials on hand for faster turnaround. We are not affiliated with CertainTeed; we simply know how their products perform on LA Basin heat and coastal moisture, because we’ve watched them age here for years.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Paramount
Our crews work on the full CertainTeed residential lineup: Landmark architectural shingles, XT 25 and XT 30 three-tab shingles, Presidential Shake luxury shingles, and Flintlastic low-slope rolled roofing. We match CertainTeed-branded shingles, underlayments, and accessories where the existing assembly calls for them, and we use quality compatible flashings, boot materials, and sealants where they perform better on Paramount’s heat-cycled, patched roofs. We stock common CertainTeed shingle colors and Flintlastic rolls locally so a repair doesn’t drag out waiting on a distribution order. For larger re-roofs we source through our CertainTeed sales & service channels and time materials to arrive before tear-off.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Paramount
What you’ll pay depends on what’s actually wrong. A simple vent boot replacement on a Paramount single-story might run $250 to $450. A flat tie-in re-flash with scupper repair typically lands between $600 and $1,100. A full CertainTeed re-roof over a mid-century tract home, including tear-off of old layers and permit coordination, starts around $6,500 and goes up based on deck condition, roof complexity, and the CertainTeed product line you choose. If your roof is mostly a patched flat system that needs Flintlastic work, that scope often runs $3,500 to $7,000 depending on size and condition. Every estimate includes a written line-item breakdown before you commit.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Paramount
You identify it by the shingle profile, not the color. Three-tab CertainTeed roofs show a flat, uniform face with two small cutouts per tab: that’s the XT 25 or XT 30. A dimensional or architectural look with a deeper shadow line is Landmark. If the shingle face mimics a shake or wood texture, you may have Presidential Shake. Flat sections are often Flintlastic rolled roofing. If you can’t tell from the ground, call us, and we’ll confirm during an estimate. We provide flat roof patch and shingle replacement for all of these.
Because Paramount’s climate cycles between months of heat and dryness and then a sudden storm system. The heat dries out sealant strips and cracks vent boots, and the flat surfaces hold repeated thermal expansion. When the first heavy rain comes, the water finds every seam that loosened during the dry spell. If it’s leaking, it’s telling you something. Let’s figure out exactly what. Call (855) 382-0485, and we’ll trace it before the next storm.
Yes. The city’s building department requires a permit for any re-roofing, and that includes removal of old layers and installation of new CertainTeed products. We handle the permit application, and the inspection is scheduled after the work is complete. If a contractor tells you a re-roof here doesn’t need a permit, find another contractor.
Usually, yes. Leak Repair and Flat Roof Patch are two of our core services. We tell homeowners straight when a re-flash and boot replacement will get them years more versus when the CertainTeed field is past its life and a full re-roof makes more sense. We won’t sell you a tear-off if a patch fixes the leak.
Short answer: no, not in Paramount. You can’t install a shingle roof directly over multiple layers of patched tar-and-gravel and expect it to perform. The deck has to be stripped, inspected, and prepped properly first, and the building department permit covers that scope. We’ll be honest about what’s under there before we ever talk shingle color. Call (855) 382-0485 for a free Paramount assessment.
