Independent CertainTeed service across Memphis runs $180-$340 for most repairs and $8,500-$14,000 for full replacement on typical residential roofs.

Why Memphis Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’ve been working Memphis roofs since 1984. Pete Navarro started this company after spending twenty years on ladders across the San Fernando Valley and Eastside, and he built Ridgeline on one principle: a roof doesn’t lie - it just waits until the rain to tell you the truth. That steady, plainspoken approach is what we bring to every CertainTeed job in Shelby County.
We’re not a storm-chasing outfit that rolled in after last spring’s hail. We’re not manufacturer-affiliated either. We’re independent CertainTeed specialists with training through CertainTeed’s Roofing Contractor and Pinnacle Contractor programs, and we stock OEM starter strips, hip and ridge caps, and ventilation components for same-day repairs in 38120, 38122, 38124, and 38125. When a Midtown bungalow needs Presidential Shake or a ranch house in Whitehaven needs Landmark Pro, we don’t substitute materials and hope nobody notices.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and photo-document every inspection from your actual roof - not the driveway. The 90-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork runaround. No arguing.
Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Memphis
- Landmark algae discoloration on north-facing slopes. Memphis’ 53 inches of annual rainfall and persistent humidity fuel Gloeocapsa magma growth that blackens shingles within five years, even on algae-resistant versions. We see this constantly on tree-shaded sections in East Memphis and Cordova. Replacement with Landmark Pro featuring StreakFighter algae resistance, plus zinc strip installation at the ridge, buys real time.
- Presidential Series curling and clawing in older bungalows. Midtown and South Memphis ZIP codes - 38104, 38106, 38107 - hold thousands of pre-1960 homes with skip-sheathing and chronically under-ventilated attics. Heat and moisture build-up causes Presidential Shake tabs to cup and claw. We address the root problem with Deck-Air vents and solid sheathing overlays, not just another layer of shingles.
- Flintlastic base flashing failure at wall-to-roof intersections. Late-winter ice storms in Memphis create freeze-thaw cycling that stresses modified bitumen membranes. The Flintlastic SA self-adhering system needs proper priming and overlap at vertical walls - something we check on every flat-roofed addition and porch in Shelby County.
- Landmark TL wind blow-off on low-slope decks. Gulf-fueled supercells track northeast across Memphis with damaging winds. When Landmark TL is installed on pitches below 4:12 without CertainTeed’s StormMaster nailing pattern and adhesive sealant, ridge-line tabs lift and tear. We re-fasten to engineered specs, not minimum code.
- Skip-sheathing collapse under modern shingle weight. Original 1×6 skip sheathing in pre-1940 Memphis homes can’t support the 240+ pounds per square that Presidential TL carries. Out-of-town crews underbid these jobs because they don’t discover the problem until they’re stripping. We account for full OSB overlay in every estimate.
CertainTeed Service in Memphis: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Memphis sits directly above the New Madrid Seismic Zone, the most seismically active fault system east of the Rockies. Local building codes enforce roof-deck fastening and roof-to-wall connection requirements that roofers in Nashville, Little Rock, or Birmingham simply do not face. For CertainTeed installations here, that means ring-shank nails at 6-inch spacing on gable ends per local engineers’ recommendations - not the 8-inch spacing common elsewhere. We anchor Landmark shingles to withstand lateral seismic loads, not just vertical wind uplift. This is baseline work for us, not a premium upsell.
Layered on top of this seismic reality, Memphis is one of the most hail-battered metros in the Southeast. Gulf-fueled convective storms produce golf-ball-sized hail multiple times per year. Impact-resistant shingles and enhanced fastening patterns are standard on our jobs - the only way to keep a CertainTeed warranty intact through a typical Memphis storm season.
We recently re-roofed a 1927 Craftsman on East Neshoba Road in Midtown (38104) that had original skip-sheathing under three layers of rotting Landmark shingles. After installing a 1/2-inch OSB overlay, we applied CertainTeed WinterGuard underlayment and Landmark Pro shingles in Weathered Wood, addressing the chronic ventilation problem with CertainTeed Deck-Air attic vents - the homeowner saw a 15°F attic temp drop and no more ice damming.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Memphis
We work across the full CertainTeed residential line: Landmark Series (Landmark, Landmark Pro, Landmark TL), Presidential Series (Presidential Shake, Presidential TL), High Definition Shingles (Clarity Glass), and Flintlastic SA self-adhering modified bitumen for low-slope applications. Our Memphis warehouse stocks OEM starter strips, hip and ridge caps, ridge vents, and Deck-Air ventilation components for same-day repairs. When OEM underlayment or fasteners are back-ordered, we’ll use quality aftermarket equivalents and explain exactly how that affects your warranty eligibility - no surprises on the invoice. We prioritize system integrity over speed, but we don’t let a homeowner wait three weeks for a ridge cap match.
CertainTeed Service Pricing in Memphis
Most CertainTeed repairs in Memphis fall between $180 and $340, depending on accessibility and whether we need to match discontinued colors. Full replacement on a typical 2,000-square-foot home runs $8,500 to $14,000, with pre-1940 skip-sheathing homes adding $1,200-$2,800 for solid OSB overlay. Presidential Series and TL products run higher due to material weight and specialized fastening.
Every estimate includes photo documentation, a written scope, and the number you’ll pay - not a range that balloons later. We offer $50 off any repair over $250, free second opinions on any written estimate, $89 seasonal tune-ups, and a standing 5% senior and veteran discount.

FAQs - CertainTeed Roofing in Memphis
Landmark Pro with StreakFighter algae resistance performs better than standard Landmark in Memphis, but no shingle is immune to Gloeocapsa magma in our humidity. Zinc or copper ridge strips extend protection by 3-5 years. Call (844) 563-1816 and we’ll assess your roof’s exposure.
No. Presidential Shake requires solid decking. Original 1×6 skip sheathing must be overlaid with minimum 1/2-inch OSB or plywood first. We account for this in every Midtown and South Memphis estimate - storm-chasers often don’t. Call (844) 563-1816 for a proper scope.
WinterGuard waterproofing underlayment is our standard at eaves, valleys, and penetrations. It self-seals around fasteners and handles the freeze-thaw cycling from Memphis’ late-winter ice events. We install it on every full replacement.
Local code requires enhanced roof-to-wall connections and closer nail spacing on gable ends. We use ring-shank nails at 6-inch centers, not the 8-inch spacing common outside seismic zones. This keeps your CertainTeed system intact during ground motion.
CertainTeed has discontinued several pre-2020 color runs. We maintain a sample library and can often source close matches from distributor overstock. When exact matching isn’t possible, we recommend blending replacement sections or full-slope replacement. Call (844) 563-1816 - we’ll bring samples to your door.
