CertainTeed Roofing in Houston, TX | Tilehurst Roofing Houston
We’re Tilehurst Roofing Houston, a Kingswell family company founded in 2000, and we provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Houston. The short version: we repair and replace CertainTeed roofs using genuine CertainTeed shingles and accessories, and we do it with a written price in your hands before any work starts. What makes our CertainTeed work different here is that we’ve spent years watching how these specific shingles fail in Houston’s heat, humidity, and hurricane winds – and we fix them so they stay fixed. Call (254) 566-3573 for a free estimate.

We’re not a CertainTeed authorized dealer or manufacturer affiliate. We’re an independent roofing company that knows CertainTeed products inside and out because Houston keeps us honest. Our crews work on CertainTeed roofs across the city every week – from Landmark shingles in Meyerland to Presidential Shake in The Heights – so we’ve learned the specific ways CertainTeed products fail in our humid, storm-prone climate, and how to repair them right the first time. Our CertainTeed sales & service experience runs deep, and our Houston service area coverage means we’re never far from your roof.
Greg Holloway, the owner here at Tilehurst Roofing Houston, learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent decades working on everything from bungalow reroof jobs to commercial flat systems. He walks every job himself, writes up a clear price before a single shingle moves, and explains what the estimate actually means in plain English. You’ll know the price before we touch the roof.
Why Houston Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes a broad product line, and that’s part of the challenge. A Landmark shingle doesn’t fail the same way a Presidential Shake does, and a Highland Slate roof has its own quirks. We’ve worked through enough of those failures in Houston to know what we’re looking at before we climb the ladder.
Every repair starts with a written price. Not a verbal ballpark, not a number that changes at the door. You get a line-item quote before we touch anything. Every repair is also covered by a written guarantee, delivered before the crew leaves your property. If a repair fails inside the guarantee period, we return at no charge under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. That’s a full year of documented accountability on every job.
We’re a Kingswell family company, built for homeowners who’ve already been burned by no-shows, price changes at the door, and repairs that failed within months. Background-checked, uniformed technicians show up on every job, so you know exactly who’s on your roof. A live person answers every call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Even evenings and weekends.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Houston
Here’s what actually goes wrong with CertainTeed roofs in this city. Each of these is a failure mode we see repeatedly in Houston, tied directly to our climate and housing stock.
- Landmark thermal cracking along the Granule Bond edge. Houston’s extreme summer heat pushes attic temperatures well past 140°F, and over years that heat causes Landmark shingles to crack along the edge where the granule layer bonds to the mat. We see this constantly on homes built from the 1960s onward, especially where attic ventilation was never upgraded. The fix is replacing affected shingles and addressing the ventilation problem so the next batch doesn’t crack the same way.
- Presidential Shake tabs tearing off at the nail strip during tropical storms. Presidential Shake is a heavy luxury shingle, and its tabs catch wind differently than standard shingles. When a strong thunderstorm or hurricane band rolls through Houston, the tabs can tear right at the nail line, especially if the original installer used the wrong nail length or over-drove the fasteners. We replace the damaged sections using genuine CertainTeed shingles matched to the existing roof.
- Northgate granule loss from moisture and algae in shaded areas. Houston’s humidity is relentless, and Northgate architectural shingles on the north side of a house or under heavy tree cover hold moisture longer. That trapped moisture feeds algae growth, which loosens granules and thins the protective layer. We see this a lot in older inner-loop neighborhoods with mature oak canopies. Patch repair with matching Northgate stock is usually the right call if the decking underneath is still sound.
- Starter strip adhesion failure on under-ventilated roofs. CertainTeed’s starter strip is designed to seal the first course of shingles, but it only bonds properly within a specific temperature range. On Houston homes with inadequate attic ventilation, the roof deck gets hot enough to soften the adhesive, and the first course loosens. Then a wind gust lifts the entire bottom edge. We fix this by re-securing the course and correcting the ventilation so the adhesive has a fighting chance.
- Hail damage hiding under the granule layer. After a hailstorm, a CertainTeed roof can look fine from the ground while the fiberglass mat underneath is fractured. Those deep bruises turn into leaks within a year. We inspect ridge caps and valleys first on older CertainTeed roofs because that’s where hail and wind damage concentrate, and where leaks start first.
If you’re seeing any of these issues on your Houston roof, call (254) 566-3573 and our Houston Roof Repair team will walk you through what’s happening before we ever send a crew out.
CertainTeed Service in Houston: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Houston’s roofing industry runs on storm response. Hurricanes, tropical storms, hailstorms, and intense heat aren’t occasional interruptions here – they’re the baseline. That changes how a roofer should approach CertainTeed work in this city. After any major storm, neighborhoods like Meyerland and Kingwood, which flood repeatedly, see a surge in insurance claims – not just for water damage but for roofs compromised by high winds and debris. Those claims often miss the hidden shingle damage. High winds and flying debris cause significant shingle damage that stays invisible until a leak appears, so we inspect ridge caps and valleys first on older CertainTeed roofs in those zip codes. A roof that looks fine from the ground can be one rainstorm away from a ceiling stain.
What that means for CertainTeed owners specifically is this: the shingles themselves may hold up, but the system around them – flashing, starter strip, ridge cap, ventilation – is under more stress in Houston than almost anywhere else in the country. We service the whole roof, not just the shingles you can see from the street.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Houston
We work on the major CertainTeed lines you’ll find on Houston homes:
- Landmark Series – CertainTeed’s most common asphalt shingle line. We carry matching Landmark and Landmark Pro stock for patch repairs across Houston.
- Presidential Shake – Luxury shingles that mimic hand-split wood. Color matching matters here, and we work directly with CertainTeed distribution to match existing roofs when only one slope is damaged.
- Northgate – Architectural shingles with a distinctive look. We stock common colorways locally so repairs don’t wait on shipping.
- Highland Slate – Synthetic slate with the look of the real thing at a fraction of the weight. We handle repairs and full installs.
We source genuine CertainTeed shingles and accessories to match existing roofs for patch repairs. If aftermarket parts show up, they don’t go up. But we’ll also tell you straight when replacement makes more financial sense than repeated repairs – common with CertainTeed roofs past 15 years in Houston’s climate. At that point, we offer a full replacement with proper ventilation upgrades so the new roof isn’t fighting the same problems the old one lost to.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Houston
Let’s talk numbers so you know what to expect before you pick up the phone. Most CertainTeed shingle repairs in Houston run $280-$550 for a small patch job – replacing a handful of damaged shingles and checking the surrounding area. Flashing repair around chimneys, vents, or skylights typically lands between $300-$700 depending on access and how much metal needs replacing. Full roof decking replacement in a damaged section adds $2.20-$4.80 per square foot on top of the shingle work. And a full CertainTeed Landmark reroof on a typical 2,200-square-foot Houston home usually runs $9,500-$14,500, including tear-off, new underlayment, drip edge, and proper ventilation upgrades.
Your free estimate includes a written line-item price, an inspection of the whole roof system – not just the damaged spot – and a straight answer on whether repair or replacement is the smarter money. Call (254) 566-3573 to schedule yours.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Houston
Houston’s humidity accelerates granule loss on Landmark shingles because moisture lingers in shaded sections, feeding algae that loosens the protective layer. CertainTeed’s granule bond is good, but no granule bond survives standing moisture forever. The difference we see with Landmark specifically is that the cracking tends to show up along the Granule Bond edge first, where the shingle’s protective layer thins from constant heat-humidity cycling. If you’re seeing dark patches or granules in the gutters, call (254) 566-3573 for an inspection and we’ll tell you exactly what’s happening and what it costs to fix.
Yes, we can match the color in almost every case. We source genuine CertainTeed Presidential Shake shingles directly from CertainTeed distribution, and we order against the original color code when we can read it. If the code is gone, we match against the existing shingles on the undamaged slope. There will be a slight visual difference for the first few months until the new shingles weather in, but the color will settle. Call (254) 566-3573 and we’ll walk your roof for free and confirm the match before we recommend anything.
CertainTeed’s premium lines carry wind warranties up to 130 mph, and the shingles are tested for uplift resistance. But the shingle is only as good as the install. In our experience across Houston, most wind failures we see on CertainTeed roofs trace back to starter strip adhesion, nail placement, or under-ventilated decks – not the shingle itself. We inspect the whole system when we do a repair, so you get a fix that holds in the next storm. Call (254) 566-3573 for a free estimate.
Thermal cracking on Landmark shingles, especially on homes with poor attic ventilation. A Houston summer pushes attic temperatures well past 140°F, and over years that heat causes the shingles to crack along the Granule Bond edge. The cracks are small at first, but water finds them. The repair is usually $280-$550 per section, plus we’ll recommend the attic ventilation fix that stops it from happening again. Call (254) 566-3573 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
It depends on your roof and your budget. Presidential Shake is a heavier luxury shingle with a look most standard architectural shingles can’t touch, and it carries stronger wind warranties. But the cost is meaningfully higher – think $14,000-$22,000 for a typical Houston reroof versus $9,500-$14,500 for Landmark. On a home in The Heights or West University, the upgrade can pay for itself in curb appeal. On a starter home in Stafford, probably not. We’ll give you a straight answer based on your house, not our inventory. Call (254) 566-3573 to talk it through.
