CertainTeed Roofing in Fullerton, CA | Van Nuys Roofing Co
We provide independent CertainTeed roof repair and replacement across Fullerton, from the Craftsman bungalows off Pacific Drive to the tile-heavy hillsides in 92835. What makes our CertainTeed work different here is that we service the three roof systems Fullerton throws at us on the same jobs: clay tile, asphalt shingle, and low-slope membrane. If your CertainTeed roof is leaking, cracked, or showing wear, call (866) 321-6172 for an inspection and a straight answer.
Why Fullerton Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Most roofing crews in north Orange County pick a lane: tile, shingle, or flat. Fullerton doesn’t work that way. A single house here might have clay tile over the original 1950s structure, Landmark shingles over a 1980s addition, and a Flintlastic low-slope section over the enclosed patio. We’re fluent in all seven major roofing brands, including CertainTeed, which means we’re not learning your roof’s material mix on the day we show up. Rick Dominguez, our owner, has spent two decades on rooftops across the San Fernando Valley and into Orange County, and he’s known for flat roof work and for being straight with people about 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. As an independent CertainTeed sales & service provider, not an authorized dealer, we recommend their products because they hold up under Fullerton’s sun and Santa Ana wind, not because a distributor told us to push them.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Fullerton
CertainTeed systems are solid, but Fullerton’s climate finds the weak points. Here’s what we see most often:
- Cracked clay tile after Santa Ana wind events. The hillside homes in 92835 near Hillcrest and Raymond catch wind-driven debris off the Puente Hills, and broken clay tiles are our single most common repair call up there. The tile field can look intact from the street while a dozen tiles on the west-facing slope are cracked through.
- Brittle CertainTeed underlayment under 1970s tile. Decades of dry-season sun bake the old Roofer’s Choice and DiamondDeck underlayment until it’s brittle. Once a tile cracks and lets water through, the membrane can’t shed it, and the leak goes straight to the deck. On these roofs, the tile isn’t the problem; the underlayment below it is.
- Lifted tabs and granule loss on Landmark shingle fields. West- and north-facing slopes take the wind and lose granules first after storm events. South-facing planes on the flats of 92833 and 92834 cycle-crack from heat exposure. Same roof, two different failure modes, and you can’t fix both with the same repair.
- Flintlastic seam and penetration failures on low-slope additions. Mid-century Fullerton homes often added flat or low-slope sections over patios and carports. The Flintlastic seams and vent boots at those transitions fail before the steep-slope shingles above them, because ponding water sits exactly where the membrane is weakest.
- Discontinued 1970s tile profiles that won’t match. The original clay tile on many 92835 hillside roofs is no longer manufactured. That turns a simple cracked-tile call into a salvage-and-match job, and most roofers won’t touch it. We keep relationships with tile salvage yards and know which profiles are still findable.
CertainTeed Service in Fullerton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
The hillside clay tile roofs in 92835 around Hillcrest and Raymond take the brunt of Santa Ana wind-driven debris, and matching the discontinued 1970s-era tile profiles is a sourcing headache that flat-valley Fullerton streets rarely produce. That’s why a broken-tile call up here is as much a salvage-and-match problem as a repair. A homeowner on Malvern Avenue might have a roofer out the same week with a matching tile from current stock. But up on Raymond, where the original tile was pulled off the line decades ago, the job starts with finding the profile before we can re-set anything. This is information you won’t get from a generic CertainTeed page or a coastal roofer who never sees these hills. If we can’t source the exact tile, we’ll tell you that up front and give you options, including re-roofing the affected plane with a compatible profile or transitioning to a CertainTeed tile underlayment system that can carry what you have. We don’t pretend a mismatch fix is a real fix.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Fullerton
We work on the CertainTeed product lines that show up most across Fullerton’s housing stock. That includes Landmark architectural shingles on the mid-century ranch tracts and 1970s-80s stucco homes, Presidential Shake and Presidential TL on higher-end remodels where a dimensional look matters, and Flintlastic self-adhered modified-bitumen membrane on the low-slope sections that came with mid-century additions. We also handle the tile underlayment systems under Fullerton’s clay and concrete tile fields, including Roofer’s Choice and DiamondDeck assemblies. Our parts approach is simple: where the system depends on it, we use CertainTeed components like matching underlayment, ridge, and starter. Where the original accessory is discontinued or never fit Fullerton’s mixed roof geometry well in the first place, we spec quality aftermarket flashing and vent boots sized to the roof. We stock common CertainTeed shingle profiles locally for faster turnaround on Fullerton repairs, and we source tile salvage pieces through channels we’ve built over years of matching old profiles.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Fullerton
What you’ll pay depends on what’s actually wrong. A simple cracked-tile replacement on a flat-street Fullerton home runs lower than a full underlayment replacement on a 92835 hillside roof where we’re pulling tile, replacing membrane, and re-setting original pieces. Shingle repairs on Landmark fields cost less than seam repairs on Flintlastic low-slope sections, which require more prep and sealing work. The discontinued-tile factor up in the hills can add real cost because the material itself is scarce, and we’re honest about that before we start. Every estimate we give is free and includes a written line-item breakdown so you see exactly where the money goes. Call (866) 321-6172 for your free estimate, and we’ll tell you whether it’s a repair or a replacement, with no push toward the bigger job.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Fullerton
Yes, in most cases we can match discontinued 1970s-era clay tile profiles by sourcing through salvage yards and specialty suppliers we’ve worked with for years. The matching process starts before any repair work does, because the tile has to come off, the underlayment gets checked, and the original pieces need to go back on. Fullerton hillside roofs near Hillcrest and Raymond are exactly where we see this most, so this isn’t a one-off for us; it’s a regular part of the week. Call (866) 321-6172 and we’ll tell you honestly whether your profile is matchable or whether you should consider re-roofing the affected plane.
It’s often the underlayment. On 1970s-era Fullerton tile roofs, the CertainTeed Roofer’s Choice or DiamondDeck membrane under the tile has usually baked brittle from decades of dry-season sun, so when a tile cracks, the water goes straight through to the deck. We check the underlayment every time we lift a tile on a leak call. If the membrane is shot, repairing the tile alone won’t stop the leak. Call (866) 321-6172 and we’ll inspect both the tile and what’s under it before recommending anything.
West-facing slopes in Fullerton take the Santa Ana wind gusts funneled off the Puente Hills, so you see lifted tabs and granule loss first there. South-facing slopes get hammered by direct sun all summer and the shingles cycle-crack from heat expansion. Your CertainTeed Landmark field can look worn on one side and nearly new on the other, and the fix is different for each. We inspect both slopes and tell you which side actually needs work. Call (866) 321-6172 to schedule that inspection.
Yes. Fullerton’s mixed housing stock means many homes here have clay or composite tile on the original structure, Landmark shingles on an addition, and a Flintlastic low-slope section over an enclosed patio, all on the same job. We work across all seven major roofing brands and all three material systems, so you don’t coordinate multiple contractors or get a roofer who’s only comfortable with one type. One crew, one inspection, one answer for the whole roof.
If the tile or shingle field is sound but the underlayment or flashing has failed, we repair rather than replace. Once decking or multiple roof planes are compromised, we’ll price the full assembly honestly and show you the numbers side by side. Our approach is always repair first when it makes sense. Call (866) 321-6172 and we’ll give you a straight answer on which direction saves you money long-term.
