CertainTeed Roofing in Highland, CA | Van Nuys Roofing Co
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Highland, 92346, and the thing that separates our work here is the way we read the roof slope by slope. CertainTeed in San Bernardino faces similar mountain-adjacent conditions, but Highland’s position at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains means your west slopes bake while your windward slopes get scoured, and a generic repair won’t account for that split. If you own a CertainTeed roof in Highland and you’ve noticed curling, granule loss, or leaks, call us at (866) 321-6172 for a free estimate.
We’re Van Nuys Roofing Co, and we work across seven major roofing manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That’s not a slogan. It means when we look at your CertainTeed Landmark or Presidential Shake roof, we’re not steering you toward a brand we happen to stock more of. We’re CertainTeed sales & service specialists who also know what the other six brands would do in your situation, so the recommendation you get is based on your roof, your slopes, and your budget. Your roof, your material choice.
Key Takeaways:
- Independent CertainTeed service across Highland, 92346 – not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized
- We match CertainTeed profiles and color runs for honest repairs, not patch-and-hope jobs
- Every estimate includes a slope-by-slope inspection that accounts for Highland’s heat and wind exposure
- Manufacturer warranty eligibility available across multiple brands, including CertainTeed
Why Highland Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes a solid shingle, but no shingle ignores Highland’s climate. We’ve torn off and rebuilt CertainTeed roofs across Southern California’s inland valleys, and we know how Landmark architectural shingles behave when west-slope surface temps climb past what the sealant strip was ever designed for. Rick Dominguez grew up off Sepulveda Boulevard and spent two decades on rooftops across the San Fernando Valley before starting this operation, and the habit that stuck is telling homeowners what actually needs fixing versus what can wait another season. If it doesn’t need replacing, he’s not going to tell you it does.
Serving Highland service area homeowners means understanding that a 1990 tract house near the foothills has different roof problems than a mid-century ranch on the flats. We inspect first, recommend second. If your CertainTeed field is still serviceable and only a valley or ridge is compromised, we’ll say that. If the deck is soft and the underlayment is gone, we’ll say that too. Repair or replace – we’ll tell you which one actually makes sense.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Highland
- Sun-baked, brittle Landmark shingles on west and south slopes. Highland’s inland heat pushes roof surface temps far beyond what most homeowners realize. We regularly see CertainTeed Landmark tabs that have lost their granules and snap instead of flexing during tear-off. This is UV degradation, not normal wear.
- Sealant-strip failure and wind-lifted tabs along ridges and hips. The Cajon Pass corridor and Santa Ana gusts hit Highland’s foothill edges harder than the valley floor. One strong wind event can lift tabs that were never properly sealed, leaving wind-scoured sections that leak at the next rain.
- Brittle underlayment under original or once-replaced shingle fields. Highland’s 1960s-90s tract homes often still carry the original felt or a single replacement layer. When that underlayment goes brittle from years of heat cycling, the leak shows up at the valley or vent boot even when the shingles above look okay.
- Rusted fasteners and flashings at penetration boots and valleys. Heat cycling plus mountain-edge debris that holds moisture against the roof accelerates corrosion. We’ve seen flashing rust through before the shingle mat fails, especially on older Highland ranch homes with original plumbing boots.
- Split failure patterns on foothill-edge roofs. The roof’s west slope bakes while the windward slope gets scoured. This isn’t a single problem – it’s two different failure modes on the same roof, and it’s the thing we see most in the 92346 foothill tracts. Patching one slope while ignoring the other just resets the clock on a future leak.
CertainTeed Service in Highland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Highland’s foothill-edge tracts in 92346 sit right where the hot valley floor meets the San Bernardino Mountains. That collision creates a split failure pattern you don’t see as sharply in CertainTeed in Redlands or San Bernardino. The west-facing CertainTeed field bakes brittle – curl, granule loss, exposed sealant strips – while the same roof’s windward sections get hammered by Cajon Pass gusts, losing tabs and ridge caps after a single Santa Ana event. Most roofers look at the whole roof and average the damage. We look slope by slope, because in Highland that’s where the real story is.
On a foothill-edge ranch home in the 92346 tract streets, our crew found the west-slope CertainTeed Landmark field sun-baked and curling with exposed sealant strips, while the windward slope had lost tabs and ridge caps after a Santa Ana blow. We tore off to the deck, replaced the brittle underlayment and a soft section of sheathing, and set new CertainTeed Landmark with upgraded fastening and flashing. One consistent assembly instead of patching slope by slope. That’s the difference between a repair that holds and one that leaks again in March.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Highland
We work on the full CertainTeed lineup you’re likely to find on Highland homes:
- CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles – the most common shingle on Highland tract homes and foothill subdivisions
- CertainTeed Presidential Shake and Presidential TL – heavyweight luxury shingles found on larger custom homes along the foothill edges
- CertainTeed XT 25 and other three-tab shingles – original or early replacement on older 1960s-80s Highland ranch and Spanish-style homes
- CertainTeed Flintlastic modified bitumen – low-slope sections and rear additions common on Highland’s stucco-clad houses
We match CertainTeed profiles and color runs where the field is still serviceable. A blown ridge or valley on otherwise sound Landmark gets a real CertainTeed replacement, not a generic patch. When the field is sun-brittle or the deck is soft, we tell you straight that a full tear-off and re-deck is the only fix that won’t reset the same failure clock. GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, Boral – if it goes on a roof, we know it, including CertainTeed repair in Muscoy.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Highland
Highland CertainTeed work varies by what the inspection finds. A valley repair on a sound Landmark roof typically runs $450 – $900. Replacing a section of wind-scoured ridge and resealing exposed tabs lands around $600 – $1,200. A full CertainTeed Landmark tear-off and replacement on a Highland ranch or tract home runs $11,000 – $22,000 depending on pitch, deck condition, and the underlayment and flashing work involved.
Your estimate is free and it includes a slope-by-slope look at what’s failing and why. We don’t charge for a second opinion either – if the deck is still good and the field has years left, we’ll say so. Call (866) 321-6172 for an exact quote.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Highland
Not necessarily. If the west-slope curling is isolated and the underlayment and deck are still sound, a targeted CertainTeed replacement with matched profile and color is often the right call. But if those brittle shingles have exposed the sealant strips across a wide area, or if we find granule loss and soft decking, you’re looking at a tear-off rather than a patch. We’ll tell you which one actually makes sense. Call (866) 321-6172 for an inspection-based answer.
Highland’s wildland-urban interface puts fire-resistant roofing assemblies on the table for many foothill-edge homes. CertainTeed offers Class A fire-rated Landmark shingles, and we can work within Highland’s current fire code requirements for any replacement, just as we do with CertainTeed service in Loma Linda. The exact assembly depends on your specific parcel and what the local building office requires – we pull permits and build to the inspection standard, not to the cheapest pass.
In our experience, the sealant strips and ridge caps go first. Cajon Pass and Santa Ana gusts hit the windward slope at angles the shingle was never designed to resist, lifting tabs that were starting to unseal and tearing ridge caps clean off. After one strong wind event, the roof looks fine from the street but has dozens of small openings that leak at the next rain. A wind-specific inspection after any major Santa Ana event is cheap insurance.
Manufacturer ratings assume a milder climate than Highland’s inland heat. A well-installed CertainTeed Landmark roof on a Highland home with proper ventilation and intact sealant strips can reach 20 – 25 years, but west and south slopes in the 92346 foothill tracts often show significant degradation at 15 – 18 years. The slope facing the afternoon sun ages fastest. We factor that into every estimate. Call (866) 321-6172 to find out where your roof actually is in that window.
It’s usually the underlayment, especially on Highland homes built between the 1960s and early 1990s that still carry original felt. The first winter rain finds every weak point in the valley membrane, and by the time water shows up on the ceiling, the underlayment has been failing for months. We’ll open the valley, check what’s beneath, and tell you honestly whether you need a valley rebuild or a full re-deck. Estimates are free – call (866) 321-6172.
