AfterCertainTeed Construction in Pasadena, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing and siding service across Pasadena, from Bungalow Heaven to the foothill neighborhoods above the 210. The thing that separates our CertainTeed work here is simple: we know which CertainTeed products the Historic Preservation Commission will accept in each district, and which ones trigger fire-zone requirements. Tom Barrett has been running crews in Pasadena since 1998, and his sons are on site most days. If you need CertainTeed work done right and done with permits, call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Why Pasadena Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes good roofing and siding. But the product only performs if the installer understands what Pasadena throws at it: historic guidelines, fire-zone code, seismic scrutiny, and Santa Ana wind. Tom Barrett learned framing at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent years on job sites across the San Fernando Valley before founding Barrett & Sons. He’s been working on Pasadena homes since the late 1990s, and he’s seen every way a CertainTeed roof or siding install can go wrong in this city. We carry CertainTeed sales & service knowledge that comes from hands-on work, not a product brochure. Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day. Every quote is written, and every change order hits paper before a single nail moves.
Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Pasadena
CertainTeed products fail in specific ways here. The failure modes are predictable once you understand Pasadena, CA‘s climate and housing stock.
- Granule loss on older CertainTeed shingles. In Bungalow Heaven and other Craftsman districts, original CertainTeed shingles from early re-roofs show heavy granule loss from Santa Ana-driven dust and UV. The thin spots sit right over old-growth fir sheathing, which doesn’t forgive much. We catch these before the sheathing rots.
- Heat-distorted Cedar Impressions panels. Foothill homes facing direct sun get Cedar Impressions polymer siding that warps at the edges after years of exposure. The interlock fails where ember-resistant retrofit strips were never added. It’s a fire-zone issue as much as a cosmetic one.
- Symmetry lap siding trapping moisture. West-facing elevations near the Arroyo Seco see wet winters. When Symmetry lap siding sits on an addition that was never re-flashed properly, moisture works into the sill and you get efflorescence and base-coat separation.
- Starter shingles curling on tile roofs. Pasadena’s diurnal temperature swings are real, especially in the foothills. CertainTeed starter shingles at eaves curl and lift. Winter storms push wind-driven rain right into those gaps.
- Failed Northgate WeatherMax installations. We’ve replaced more than a few Northgate WeatherMax roofs in Pasadena that failed early because the original installer skipped proper ventilation. Attic heat plus foothill sun cooks the shingles from both sides.
CertainTeed Service in Pasadena: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Home
Here’s the fact that matters more than any brochure: in Pasadena’s 91103 and 91104 historic districts, any exterior roofing or siding change requires Historic Preservation Commission review. The CertainTeed Landmark Pro is one of the few architectural shingle profiles accepted for Bungalow Heaven’s Craftsman palette. Drive five minutes north into Altadena and that same shingle goes on with no commission sign-off at all. That regulatory layer changes how we approach every CertainTeed job south of the 210. We prepare the documentation, we spec the district-approved profile, and we don’t let a homeowner find out about the commission requirement after the tear-off has started. Tom Barrett grew up in the San Fernando Valley watching crews pour foundations, and the lesson stuck: do the paperwork right or don’t start the job. We’ll do it right the first time, or we’ll come back and make it right.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Pasadena
We work on four CertainTeed product lines across our Pasadena Kitchen Remodeling and exterior projects: Landmark Pro architectural shingles, Northgate WeatherMax asphalt shingles, Cedar Impressions polymer siding, and Symmetry fiber-cement siding. For active lines, we default to genuine CertainTeed components. Shingle-to-shingle matches and warranty-backed color blends matter, especially in historic districts where the palette is locked. For retired lines like Old Orchard, we source verified aftermarket equivalents that match the fade characteristics of the original. We keep common Landmark Pro colors in local supply, which means faster turnaround on Pasadena repairs than a shop that orders everything from a warehouse out of state.

FAQs - CertainTeed Construction in Pasadena
Yes. Landmark Pro meets Class A fire-resistance standards when installed with the full CertainTeed system, which is what foothill homes in 91107 and northern 91103 need under Wildland-Urban Interface code. Ember-resistant vents and proper underlayment are part of that. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll verify your specific elevation and frontage requirements.
In most Bungalow Heaven cases, the Landmark Pro in Weathered Wood or a similar accepted profile satisfies the Historic Preservation Commission while matching the Craftsman palette. We handle the commission paperwork for you. Your first step is a free estimate with written specs: (877) 610-1318.
Heat-distorted Cedar Impressions panels can often be repaired panel-by-panel if the interlock is intact and the sheathing behind is sound. If the distortion is widespread or the interlock has failed, replacement with a fire-rated profile makes more sense in Pasadena. We’ll tell you which one applies after an inspection. Call (877) 610-1318.
Both are possible. CertainTeed’s warranty covers manufacturing defects, but moisture streaks usually point to installation problems like missing re-flashing or no drainage plane. We can document the condition, identify the cause, and help you pursue a claim if one exists. Estimates are free: (877) 610-1318.
It can. Pasadena’s building department reviews cripple-wall and soft-story conditions when permits are pulled, and a full re-roof often prompts that review. We handle the seismic assessment as part of the scope. No surprises: every requirement shows up in writing before work begins. Call (877) 610-1318 for details on your specific lot.

Our crew stripped a three-tab roof on a 1923 Craftsman off Marengo Avenue in Bungalow Heaven and found saturated 1×6 decking under a failed Northgate WeatherMax install. We replaced the sheathing, added peel-and-stick ice-and-water shield, and re-roofed with Landmark Pro in Weathered Wood, matching the district palette while meeting current seismic and ember-resistance codes. We’ll do the same careful job on your Pasadena home. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate.
