CertainTeed Roofing in Madera, CA | Brennan Roofing Co Fresno
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing installation, repair, and full tear-off replacement across Madera, CA. The single thing that separates our CertainTeed work here from everyone else’s is the hidden wood shake overlay problem on the eastside’s 1970s tract homes, which we strip down to the deck before installing any new CertainTeed system. If you need straight answers about Landmark, Presidential Shake, Grand Manor, or Highland Slate on a Madera roof, call (559) 785-2160 for a free estimate.
Why Madera Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’ve torn off and replaced more CertainTeed roofs in Madera than we can count, from Landmark shingles on 1950s ranch homes west of the tracks to Presidential Shake on custom builds along the eastside. Our crew knows exactly how Central Valley heat and winter downpours stress each CertainTeed line, and we don’t guess. Travis Oakley, our owner, learned roofing at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent over a decade running crews in Fresno and the surrounding Valley, including years of work on older wood-framed homes that punish anyone who cuts corners on underlayment. That experience matters when you’re deciding between our Roof Repair in Madera and a tear-off. We write the price down before any work starts, and every job is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
We’re also part of the CertainTeed sales & service work across the Valley, and our crew answers to the Garrison Standard: uniformed, background-checked technicians, a live person on the phone around the clock, and no price movement at the door. Ever.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Madera
- Granule loss on Landmark shingles from 100°F+ summers. Madera’s heat bakes the asphalt, loosens the granules, and exposes the mat underneath. Once that happens, the shingle starts cracking within a season or two. We see this most often on south-facing and west-facing slopes off Yosemite Avenue and through the Westside.
- Sealant strip failure from thermal expansion on steep-slope roofs. The hot days and cool nights make the shingle expand and contract daily. Over time, the sealant strips let go, and the first strong winter atmospheric river wind peels shingles right off. This is a classic Madera failure on steeper ranch-style homes.
- Moisture intrusion at valley intersections from Landmark’s dimensional profile. The thicker profile traps pine needles and leaf debris in Madera’s older neighborhoods, holding moisture against the flashing and accelerating rot in the decking below. We find this all over the Westside, where mature trees sit close to rooflines.
- Presidential Shake’s thicker profile hiding deck damage on 1970s tract homes. The eastside’s original wood shake roofs were overlaid with composition shingles decades ago. The thickness of Presidential Shake can mask soft, rotting plywood underneath. The only way to know is a full tear-off down to the deck.
- Underlayment breakdown beneath tile roofs on original clay tile homes. Many 1920s-1950s homes along Yosemite Avenue still have their original clay tile. The tile holds up, but the felt underneath turns brittle and cracks. Tile underlayment replacement is the fix, and we use CertainTeed’s WinterGuard at the eaves for a watertight seal.
CertainTeed Service in Madera: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Madera’s hot, dry summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 100°F create a specific problem that most roofers treat generically, but it changes how we approach every CertainTeed job here. The city’s older neighborhoods, especially the Westside and the streets off Yosemite Avenue, have a high concentration of 1920s-1950s homes with original composition or clay tile roofs. Those roofs are failing now under decades of UV exposure, and the occasional winter downpour from an atmospheric river finds every weak seam. What makes Madera distinct from Fresno or Selma is the eastside’s hidden wood shake layer. Those 1970s tract homes were originally built with wood shake, which later became a fire hazard and was overlaid with composition shingles. The overlay traps moisture between the old shake and the new shingles, and that hidden layer of decay can’t be diagnosed from the top. You only find it when you strip down to the deck. For a homeowner on Madera’s eastside considering a new CertainTeed roof, this means a proper bid includes plywood replacement as a real line item, not a surprise change order later. We price it up front, in writing, before any work starts.
On a ranch home off Yosemite Avenue, our tech found the original 1978 wood shake overlaid with CertainTeed Landmark, but the decking underneath was spongy from years of trapped moisture. We tore off both layers, replaced 14 sheets of plywood, and installed a full Landmark system with WinterGuard at the eaves. The homeowner noticed the difference in attic temperatures the very next summer. That’s the kind of problem a generic Madera service area roofer who only looks at the top layer misses entirely.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Madera
We install and repair the full CertainTeed residential line in Madera, including Landmark, Landmark Pro, Grand Manor, Presidential Shake, and Highland Slate. For repairs, we always use genuine CertainTeed accessory components like WinterGuard underlayment and SwiftStart starter shingles, because aftermarket generics don’t hold up the same way under Valley heat and they can compromise warranty-eligible performance. When a Madera roof’s field has extensive UV damage, we’ll recommend a full tear-off rather than a patch. The patch hides the problem; the tear-off removes it. We keep commonly needed CertainTeed accessory stock on hand so most Madera repairs don’t have to wait on a distributor order out of Fresno.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Madera
Madera’s sustained 100°F-plus heat accelerates granule loss on Landmark shingles, particularly on south- and west-facing slopes. The asphalt oxidizes faster, the granules release, and the mat beneath starts to crack within a few summers. Landmark’s dimensional profile gives it a thicker look, but it doesn’t shield the asphalt from UV. If you’re seeing granules in your gutters after a Madera summer, the shingle’s protective surface is already thinning. Call (559) 785-2160 and we’ll assess whether you have another season or need a replacement plan.
On most eastside Madera homes, no. The original wood shake layer beneath the composition overlay traps moisture and rots the decking from below. Adding another layer of CertainTeed shingles on top means you’re sealing that moisture in permanently. A full tear-off down to the deck is the only way to inspect what’s underneath and get a roof that will actually last. We’ll tell you straight what your roof needs, not what’s cheapest. Call (559) 785-2160 for an honest assessment and a written estimate.
CertainTeed’s material warranty covers the shingles themselves when installed to their specifications, regardless of whether the installer is an independent contractor. The workmanship is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, for one full year. If a repair or installation fails within that year, we come back at no charge. We’re not CertainTeed-authorized or manufacturer-affiliated, but we install to their specs with genuine CertainTeed accessories. Call (559) 785-2160 with any warranty questions.
For Madera’s winter downpours, Grand Manor’s thicker, heavier shingles with their multi-layer construction hold up better in wind-driven rain than standard Landmark. The added weight and dimensional stability resist blow-off better when an atmospheric river brings strong gusts. That said, the underlayment matters just as much as the shingle. We install WinterGuard at the eaves on every Madera job to keep wind-driven water from backing up under the shingles. Call (559) 785-2160 for a recommendation specific to your roof’s pitch and exposure.
If your eastside Madera home was built in the 1970s and the roof was overlaid on original wood shake, there’s a real chance of hidden rot. Signs include soft spots when you walk the roof, shingles lifting in straight lines along the old shake courses, and attic moisture or staining. The only definitive way to know is a full tear-off, which is also the only way to properly fix it. Call (559) 785-2160 and we’ll inspect honestly, tell you what you’re seeing, and write it all down.
