Why Yonkers Homeowners Choose CertainTeed Roofing
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service in Yonkers, and what sets our CertainTeed work apart is that we install and repair it alongside six other manufacturers. That means the CertainTeed recommendation you get from us is based on your roof, your slope, and your budget, not on what a supplier wants moved. We’re upfront about one thing: Ashton Roof Repair is not affiliated with, authorized by, or a dealer for CertainTeed. We’re an independent shop that knows these products well. Call (833) 741-8977 to schedule a free estimate.
CertainTeed makes asphalt shingles and the components that go with them. We work with the Landmark, Landmark Pro, Presidential Shake, and Northgate lines, and we’ve torn down and rebuilt enough of them across Yonkers to know how each one ages here.
Why Trust Ashton Roof Repair for Your CertainTeed Roofing?
CertainTeed shingles are only as good as the layers under them: the starter course, the ice-and-water shield, the valley treatment, the ventilation. We diagnose all of it before we touch a shingle. Manny Fletcher grew up in Yonkers’ Nodine Hill neighborhood, watching his uncle patch slate roofs on the old two-families that line those steep side streets. That’s how he got into the trade. He trained at Westchester Community College and spent well over a decade roofing before starting Ashton Roof Repair in 2012. “If you understand why a roof fails, you stop guessing and start fixing.”
We’ve spent 14 years becoming the company Yonkers homeowners call when a previous repair made things worse. That’s a CertainTeed problem as often as any other: the right shingle laid over bad flashing fails the same as a cheap one. We use quality parts that fit CertainTeed systems, and we install them the way the warranty expects, so a repair doesn’t become the reason a claim gets denied. We handle the full lifecycle too: inspection, repair, and replacement under one roof, so you’re not hunting for a second contractor when your CertainTeed roof needs a bigger decision.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Fix in Yonkers
Yonkers sits in the lower Hudson Valley, with cold, snow-and-ice winters and humid summers, and the hillside streets of Yonkers Heights, Park Hill, and the Ludlow area put real stress on older roofs. These are the CertainTeed problems we see most.
- Granule loss and nail-pop on Landmark shingles. On the city’s older neighborhoods, decades of freeze-thaw cycling wear the surface down and work nails loose, especially where attic ventilation is inadequate. A roof that looks fine from the street can be one hard winter from trouble.
- Lifting and creasing along ridges and valleys. CertainTeed’s lighter-weight architectural shingles can lift or crease during nor’easters when the original install skipped proper starter or valley treatment. Wind gets under a short edge and peels it back. We check those details on inspection, not after the next storm.
- Debris and moisture in deep shadow lines. Presidential Shake and similar profiles trap debris and moisture in the deep shadow lines, which speeds algae streaking and edge curl on north-facing slopes. Those slopes stay shaded under the mature tree canopy and don’t dry out fast.
- Brittle tabs and flashing failures on 3-tab. Northgate and other 3-tab installations frequently suffer from brittle tabs and flashing failures at chimneys and vent boots after 15-plus years of summer heat and winter ice. The flashing gives out before the field shingles do, and that’s where the leak shows up.
- Ice damming at the eaves. On steep hillside roofs, meltwater refreezes at the cold eave and backs up under the shingles. On CertainTeed roofs where the original install skipped a proper ice-and-water shield, that water finds the deck. We look for the source, not just the stain on your ceiling.
The steep, tight-lot hillside housing in Yonkers Heights, Park Hill, and the Ludlow area is the other half of this. Most of those roofs are accessible only from the street side by ladder, because the rear of the house drops off a slope. Staging, safety, and debris containment are as much a part of the job as the shingling itself. Many homes are late-19th or early-20th-century frame and masonry that weren’t built for modern crews or a dumpster, and lower-level roofs butt into upper neighbors’ elevations. We plan around that before we tear anything off.
CertainTeed Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We stock CertainTeed shingles, starter, and accessory components so a repair stays color- and profile-matched to your existing roof. When an aftermarket underlayment or flashing performs better on a specific detail than the brand part does, we’ll say so and explain why. We don’t carry OEM parts for every product, and we won’t pretend we do.
Repair when repair makes sense. Replace when it doesn’t. We’ll tell you which. A Northgate roof with brittle tabs across the whole field is a replacement conversation. A Landmark roof with one failed chimney flashing and sound shingles elsewhere is a repair, and we’ll keep it that way. Call (833) 741-8977 for an honest assessment and a free written estimate.
Our CertainTeed Service Process – Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis. We inspect the shingles, the flashings, the valleys, and the decking, and we photograph what we find. On CertainTeed roofs, we check whether the problem is the product or the install underneath it.
- 2
Repair or install. For repairs, we match the CertainTeed profile and color and install new starter and flashing where the old ones failed. For a replacement, we strip to the deck, repair any soft sheathing, and lay a proper ice-and-water shield before the new shingles go down.
- 3
Verification. We check the flashing, the ventilation, and the water path before we call the job done. Yonkers freeze-thaw doesn’t forgive a short edge or a skipped valley.
- 4
Warranty paperwork. We hand over the manufacturer’s warranty documentation and explain what it covers and what it expects from the install, so your CertainTeed coverage stays valid.

AfterCertainTeed Products We Service & Install in Yonkers
We install and repair the CertainTeed Landmark and Landmark Pro architectural shingles, the Presidential Shake profile, and the Northgate 3-tab line, along with the starter, underlayment, and accessory components that go with them. That covers most of what Yonkers homeowners ask about: a repair on an existing CertainTeed roof, a color-matched shingle replacement, a leak repair at a chimney or vent boot, and a full replacement. Because we work across brands, we can also tell you when a CertainTeed patch is worth doing and when another product fits your slope or budget better. We don’t claim to stock every line, but we can get what the job needs.
We Also Service These Brands
We install and repair GAF, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral alongside CertainTeed. Seven major manufacturers means we can compare them honestly for your roof instead of defaulting to one supplier. If CertainTeed fits best, we’ll tell you why. If another line fits your roof and budget better, we’ll tell you that too.
FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing Service in Yonkers
No. We are an independent service provider, not a CertainTeed dealer, and we’re not authorized by the manufacturer. That independence is why we can recommend CertainTeed when it fits and another brand when it doesn’t. Call (833) 741-8977 for a free estimate.
Yes. We stock CertainTeed shingles, starter, and accessory components to keep repairs color- and profile-matched, and we’ll use a compatible aftermarket part only when it clearly outperforms on a specific detail. We’ll tell you what’s going on the roof and why. Call (833) 741-8977 for a free estimate.
A shingle repair or spot flashing fix is typically a short job, and a full replacement takes longer once we’ve assessed access and decking. The steep, tight-lot streets in Yonkers Heights and Park Hill can add ladder staging time, so we build that into the schedule before we commit to a date. Call (833) 741-8977 for a free estimate.
We cover the Landmark, Landmark Pro, Presidential Shake, and Northgate shingle lines, plus the starter, underlayment, and accessory components that go with them. If you’re unsure which one is on your roof, we’ll identify it at inspection. Call (833) 741-8977 for a free estimate.
Not if the work is done correctly. The failure modes that get a claim denied are bad flashing, skipped starter or valley treatment, and poor ventilation, and we install to the standard the warranty expects and hand over the documentation. We can’t speak for certain what CertainTeed will approve, so we keep the install right. Call (833) 741-8977 for a free estimate.
It depends on the shingle line, the roof size, the pitch, and how bad the decking is underneath. We don’t quote from a script. We inspect, then put a written estimate in your hands with the line items spelled out, and the estimate is free. Call (833) 741-8977 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
Yes. Yonkers’ freeze-thaw cycles cause granule loss and nail-pop in ways warmer climates don’t, especially where attic ventilation is inadequate. Warm-climate failures tend to be heat-driven; here the ice does as much damage as the sun. Call (833) 741-8977 for a free estimate.
In most cases, yes, because we stock CertainTeed shingles and components for that purpose. Color can shift slightly with age and sun exposure, so we’ll show you the match before we install it. Call (833) 741-8977 for a free estimate.
It depends on ventilation, upkeep, and how much shade the roof sits under, but a well-installed Presidential Shake roof holds up well through Yonkers winters. Debris trapped in the deep shadow lines and algae on north-facing slopes are the things that shorten it, so those get attention on inspection. Call (833) 741-8977 for a free estimate.
We install the full assembly: the shingles, the starter, the underlayment, and the accessory components. A shingle-only job isn’t a roof, and we won’t sell it as one. Call (833) 741-8977 for a free estimate.
Usually, yes. A chimney flashing failure is a localized repair even on an older CertainTeed roof, provided the field shingles are sound. We’ll confirm that at inspection rather than guessing. Call (833) 741-8977 for a free estimate.
