CertainTeed Construction in Claremont, CA
We provide independent CertainTeed installation and repair across Claremont’s historic districts, the Village core, and the neighborhoods stretching toward the San Gabriel foothills. The work we do here is shaped by one thing most contractors treat as an afterthought: Claremont’s design review process means a CertainTeed shingle color or siding profile often has to match period detailing before a single bundle gets ordered. If you’re planning a re-roof, siding replacement, or metal roof on a Claremont home, call (877) 373-9230 for a free estimate from a crew that reads CertainTeed’s installation manuals line by line.
Why Claremont Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’ve installed CertainTeed roofing and building products across Claremont for years, so we know how general contractor projects with Landmark shingles, so we know how Landmark shingles, Flintlastic SA underlayment, and Cedar Impressions siding behave under San Gabriel foothill UV and Santa Ana wind loads. Our crews aren’t authorized by CertainTeed, and we’ll never claim to be. What we are is independent and obsessive about the details: flashing transitions, ventilation math, underlayment primer on sun-baked sheathing. That’s the difference between a roof that sheds granule and one that holds its seal strip through a decade of Inland Empire summers.
Noel Cardenas, the owner here at Garden Grove Contractors, grew up in Garden Grove and came up through the trades program at Santiago Canyon College before spending years working residential and commercial builds across the greater area. He’s the guy who’ll tell you, straight, when a repair is smarter than a replacement, and when a re-roof is the only honest answer. His rule is simple: the material you pick today is the problem you solve, or the one you live with, ten years from now.
We carry OEM CertainTeed accessories: starter strips, hip-and-ridge caps, the underlayments CertainTeed specifies for their warranty. One contractor, one contract, from the first deck inspection to the final walkthrough.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Claremont
- Granule loss and seal-strip failure on low-slope Landmark roofs. Claremont’s Village core and many Craftsman bungalows have porch and gable sections pitched too low for shingles to drain properly. Repeated summer heat cycles cook the asphalt, and Santa Ana winds lift the seal strips. We see this constantly on low-slope sections that were shingled without adequate underlayment or ventilation.
- Cracking and curling at the keyway on Presidential Shake. Presidential Shake is thick, which hides problems until they get serious. On older Claremont homes with undersized attic intake ventilation, the heat builds up in the attic and the shake profile cracks at the keyway. By the time you see it from the ground, you’ve usually lost more than you’d think.
- Cedar Impressions siding lap separation on historic hybrids. Many Claremont homes mix original stucco or wood siding with later additions. When Cedar Impressions gets installed over an old wall without rebuilding the WRB and weep detailing, moisture traps at the bottom courses. You’ll see paint blistering and lap separation within a few seasons, especially on east-facing walls that bake then cool fast.
- Flintlastic SA adhesion failures on re-roofs of old decking. Claremont’s 1920s plaster-and-lath homes have decks that have been baking in the sun for nearly a century. Flintlastic SA needs primer on that dusty, sun-baked sheathing. Skip the primer, and the self-adhered underlayment loses grip at valleys and penetrations after the first wind event.
- Wind-driven rain intrusion at rake edges. Santa Ana winds attack from the northeast. On Claremont homes nearest the foothills, rake edges and gable-end flashings take the brunt. If the starter strip wasn’t set right or the drip edge is too shallow, wind-driven rain gets behind the shingle and finds the wall sheathing.
CertainTeed Service in Claremont: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Project
Because so much of Claremont’s housing near the Colleges and the Village sits in historic districts, a CertainTeed shingle or Cedar Impressions siding choice often has to clear the City’s design review, not just a building permit. That changes the entire conversation. Color, profile, and exposure have to be selected to match period detailing before a single bundle is ordered. You can’t just grab whatever Landmark color is on sale at the supply house. A 1915 Craftsman bungalow on a street like Indian Hill Boulevard needs a different colorway and profile than a 1970s tract house in the northeast part of the 91711 zip code. We’ve sat through enough design review meetings to know what gets approved and what gets sent back. We spec the right material for your project, not the easiest one to install.
This is what makes CertainTeed work in Claremont different from CertainTeed repair in La Verne or a re-roof in Rancho Cucamonga or Pomona. There, it’s a permit and a tear-off. Here, it’s a preservation conversation with a material selection attached. Our job is to make sure the CertainTeed product you want actually satisfies what the review board will accept, and that it’ll still perform when the Santa Anas hit in September.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Claremont
We install and repair the full CertainTeed roofing and siding range that matters in Claremont, including Montclair CertainTeed service areas: the Landmark shingle series (including Landmark Pro and Landmark TL impact-resistant lines), Presidential Shake (TL and Solaris variants), Cedar Impressions siding, and Flintlastic SA self-adhered underlayment. On warrantable field and valley work, we use CertainTeed OEM accessories: starter strips, hip-and-ridge, and the underlayments CertainTeed specifies. When the OEM part doesn’t fit a period roofline, we’ll spec a quality aftermarket flashing or ventilation detail that does, and we’ll explain why. Our local Claremont stock keeps common Landmark colors and OEM accessories within a day’s reach, so we’re not waiting on a truck from two counties over when a repair has to move fast.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Claremont
CertainTeed’s color palette is broad enough that selection rarely hurts you, but the review hinges on whether the profile and color match the period detailing of the home, not on the brand name. A Landmark Pro in a color that mimics aged cedar reads well on a Craftsman bungalow, while a high-contrast Presidential Shake colorway can flag review concerns. We’ll help you build the submission before you order material, so you’re not stuck with a pallet of shingles the board won’t accept. Call (877) 373-9230 and we’ll walk you through it.
Low-slope sections on Claremont porches and Village-core roofs bake in summer heat and take Santa Ana wind uplift repeatedly. When those sections were originally shingled without a proper self-adhered underlayment and the attic ventilation is undersized, the heat has nowhere to go. The asphalt degrades, the granules loosen, and the seal strips lose their grip. It’s a ventilation and underlayment problem first, a shingle problem second. The fix isn’t just re-nailing shingles; it’s correcting the deck and airflow underneath.
If the wind damage is isolated to a few courses and the underlying deck and underlayment are sound, we can repair it. The catch with Presidential Shake is that its thick profile hides early damage. A single visible crack at the keyway often means the surrounding courses took the same heat stress and are close behind. We’ll inspect the whole slope before we quote. When granule loss or seal failure covers more than a third of the slope, we’ll tell you honestly that a re-roof is the better spend.
It can be, particularly when the original siding was wood shingle and the review board wants a repair that preserves the visual character. But Cedar Impressions on a historic Claremont home only works if the WRB and weep detailing are rebuilt during the facade work. Skip that, and the bottom courses trap moisture and start separating. We treat every Cedar Impressions install in a historic district as a moisture-management project dressed as a siding job.
We use Flintlastic SA after priming the sheathing. A 1920s Claremont deck that has baked under the Inland Empire sun for decades is dusty and porous, which is exactly the surface a self-adhered underlayment struggles to grip without primer. We roll the primer, set the Flintlastic at valleys and penetrations, then field the rest. That’s the sequence that keeps the underlayment bonded through its first Santa Ana season.

If you live in Claremont and you’re weighing a CertainTeed re-roof, siding replacement, or metal roof, call (877) 373-9230. We’ll schedule a free estimate, walk the roof or facade with you, and give you a written line-item quote with no change orders down the road. On a 1920s Craftsman bungalow near the Claremont Colleges, our crew found Landmark shingles on the low-slope rear porch with granule loss and lifted seal strips after years of summer heat and Santa Ana winds. We stripped to the sheathing, replaced a few soft deck boards, rolled Flintlastic SA with primer over the baked surface, and re-roofed the main slopes in Landmark Pro to match the historic profile, then documented the ventilation upgrade for the owner’s records. That’s the level of care a Claremont home expects. One contractor, every phase.
