CertainTeed has built a reputation for shingles that hold up to sun and wind better than most. But no shingle is bulletproof, especially not in Houston’s subtropical climate. What matters is who stands behind the repair. Travis Oakley built Brennan Roofing Co Houston on a simple standard: written pricing, background-checked uniformed technicians, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it applies to every CertainTeed roof we touch.

If you own a CertainTeed roof in Houston and it’s leaking, losing granules, or showing storm damage, you want a Roofing Company that knows the product lines, not just a generic “roof repair” crew. That’s us.

Why Trust Brennan Roofing Co Houston for Your CertainTeed Roofing?

CertainTeed roofs are not all the same. A Landmark shingle fails differently than a Presidential Shake. A Northgate roof in The Woodlands develops algae streaking in shaded sections that a Landmark Pro roof in Meyerland won’t. Our technicians know these differences because we see them on actual Houston homes, not in a product catalog.

Travis Oakley grew up in the San Fernando Valley and learned roofing at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before putting roofs on everything from bungalows to commercial strips. He brought that foundation to Houston and has been working these neighborhoods ever since. His crew has done full tear-offs and re-roofs from Meyerland to the Energy Corridor, learning fast what Gulf Coast heat, humidity, and hurricane season do to a deck. When we walk a CertainTeed roof, we read it the way a mechanic reads an engine: we look for the specific failure, not a generic “needs new roof” verdict.

We source genuine CertainTeed components through independent distributors when matching existing roofs. For non-warranty repairs where factory parts carry an unjustified premium, we use equivalent ASTM-rated underlayments and accessories. You get a straight recommendation, not a parts markup. And every job, from a single shingle replacement to a full tear-off, gets a written price before any work starts. No exceptions. That’s The Garrison Code.

One more thing worth knowing: when a Bellaire homeowner had water coming through a Landmark Pro roof, our tech found the leak wasn’t the shingles at all. The original installer had skipped the CertainTeed SwiftStart starter strip near a dormer wall, letting wind-driven rain run behind the field. We pulled back the shingles, installed the correct starter course, replaced the adjacent rotten decking, and reset the shingles. The owner’s next storm came and went without a drip. That’s the difference between reading a roof and guessing at it.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Fix in Houston

Here are the specific issues we see on CertainTeed roofs across Houston, week after week.

• Wind-driven rain creeping past unsealed starter strip on Landmark roofs. After tropical storms and hurricane-season squalls, water gets behind the rake edge where the starter strip was never properly sealed. We see this on homes built in the 90s and early 2000s across Meyerland and Braeswood. The fix is pulling back the field shingles, installing the correct CertainTeed SwiftStart starter course, and resealing the rake. It’s not a patch job; it’s a correction of the original install.
• Hail-cracked shingle tabs on Landmark Pro. Houston hailstorms are brutal on shingle leading edges. We see granule loss concentrated right at the tab line, with hairline cracks radiating back from impact points. Insurers often flag this for full replacement. We document every damaged tab and give you a straight read on whether it’s a repair or a replacement, no upselling damage that isn’t there.
• Algae streaking on Northgate shingles. Northgate is a solid shingle, but in shaded, high-humidity neighborhoods like The Woodlands and older parts of West University, algae grows in dark streaks that trap heat and shorten shingle life. We clean and treat where it makes sense, and we’ll tell you plainly when the streaks are cosmetic versus when they’re compromising the mat.
• Improperly staggered butt joints on Presidential Shake. Presidential Shake is a heavy, thick shingle. When installers don’t stagger the butt joints correctly, the seams telegraph through and wear unevenly. We see this on higher-end homes where the original crew treated a premium shingle like a basic three-tab. The fix often means replacing sections where the stagger is wrong, not just patching the visible wear.
• Leaks at flashing and penetrations. CertainTeed shingles can be perfectly fine while the flashing around chimneys, skylights, and pipe boots fails. This is the number one call we get in Houston: a roof leak that turns out to be a flashing problem, not a shingle problem. We replace flashing with materials matched to the existing roof and seal everything to the CertainTeed installation spec.

CertainTeed Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach

When we repair a CertainTeed roof, we use genuine CertainTeed components for anything visible and matched. That means matching shingle color, profile, and series. For underlayment, drip edge, and accessories below the visible surface, we use equivalent ASTM-rated materials where the OEM markup doesn’t buy you anything. This keeps repairs affordable without cutting corners.

Our repair-vs-replace rule is simple: if a repair exceeds 30% of the roof area, we recommend a full replacement. Beyond that threshold, you’re patching a roof that’s already past its serviceable life. A patchwork roof fails unevenly, voids the spirit of the original warranty, and costs more in the long run. We’d rather tell you the truth than sell you a repair that won’t hold.

For typical CertainTeed repairs, expect $350 to $900 depending on the extent of damage and materials. A full reroof with Landmark shingles on a standard Houston ranch runs $9,500 to $16,000, with Landmark Pro and Presidential Shake running higher. Call (940) 461-8481 and we’ll give you a written line-item price before any work starts.

Our CertainTeed Service Process – Step by Step

1. 1
   Diagnosis. We walk the roof and document every issue with photos. We identify the specific CertainTeed series, check the starter strip, flashing, underlayment, and shingle condition. You get a written findings report, not a verbal “trust me.”
2. 2
   Repair or replacement plan. We give you a written price on paper before any work begins. The number doesn’t move at the door. If it’s a repair, we spec the exact CertainTeed components. If it’s a replacement, we walk you through product options plainly: Landmark, Landmark Pro, Northgate, or Presidential Shake, with real cost differences, not sales pressure.
3. 3
   The work. Background-checked, uniformed Brennan Roofing Co Houston technicians do the repair or install. We use the correct CertainTeed starter strip, underlayment, and fastening pattern for Houston’s wind and rain. No shortcuts on the details that matter.
4. 4
   Test and verify. We water-test repairs where possible and walk the finished roof with you. If it doesn’t hold, it doesn’t go on your bill.
5. 5
   Warranty in writing. Every Brennan Roofing Co Houston job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: one full year, in writing, with a free return visit at no charge if the repair or installation fails within that period.

CertainTeed Products We Service & Install in Houston

We service and install the full CertainTeed roofing line that makes sense for Houston homes:

• Landmark – the workhorse architectural shingle, common on 70s-90s tract homes across Houston’s suburbs.
• Landmark Pro – the heavier architectural shingle, popular in Katy, Sugar Land, and newer builds.
• Northgate – impact-resistant class 4, chosen for hail-heavy neighborhoods and insurer discounts.
• Presidential Shake – the premium thick shingle for higher-end Memorial and Bellaire homes.

We keep common Landmark and Landmark Pro colors and accessories in local stock for fast shingle replacement and leak repair. For full tear-offs and specialty series like Presidential Shake, we order through independent distributors with a clear lead time communicated before the job starts.

We Also Service These Brands

We’re CertainTeed specialists, but we’re not single-brand dependent. We install and repair GAF and Owens Corning systems regularly across Houston, and we carry materials from Atlas, IKO, Tamko, and Boral. If your roof is another brand, we’ll tell you straight what it needs.
