Owens Corning Roofing in Upland, CA | Van Nuys Roofing Co
We provide independent Owens Corning roofing service across Upland, CA, from full replacements to targeted shingle and flashing repairs.

Call (866) 321-6172 for a free estimate on any Owens Corning roof project in Upland.
Why Upland Residents Choose Us for Owens Corning Service
We work across seven of the industry’s leading roofing brands: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That matters if you’re weighing Owens Corning against another manufacturer. We’re not steered by a supplier incentive, so our advice reflects what your Upland roof actually needs, not what we happen to stock. Your roof, your material choice. Rick Dominguez, our owner, learned roofing through the construction technology program at Los Angeles Valley College and spent two decades on Valley rooftops before starting Van Nuys Roofing Co. He’s known for telling people straight: if a roof has years left, we’ll say so. If it doesn’t need replacing, we’re not going to tell you it does. Our Owens Corning sales & service work throughout Upland reflects that approach, whether you’re in a 1950s ranch in 91786 or a newer foothill home in 91784.

Common Owens Corning Roofing Problems We Solve in Upland
Upland’s climate creates specific failure patterns on Owens Corning roofs. Here are the ones we see most often across the city’s neighborhoods, plus what we observe in nearby communities like Rancho Cucamonga Owens Corning service areas:
- Granule loss and surface cracking on Oakridge® shingles. In unshaded 91786 ranch homes, intense UV exposure and thermal cycling degrade Oakridge® shingles faster than expected, often before the warranty period ends. We see it on roofs barely a decade old.
- Sealant strip failure on Duration® shingles. West-facing slopes in Upland take the brunt of Santa Ana winds. Duration® shingles can lose their sealant bond, causing lifted or missing tabs. Wind-driven debris then finds its way underneath.
- Wrinkled or torn WeatherGuard® underlayment. When older Upland homes convert from wood shake to shingles, the original decking often isn’t re-nailed. WeatherGuard® underlayment can wrinkle over loose deck boards, creating leak paths during winter atmospheric-river storms.
- Edge curling and nail-pull on Supreme® shingles. 1950s-70s tracts across Upland frequently show Supreme® shingles curling at the edges. The problem traces back to deck movement, especially where original shake decks were never fully re-sheathed.
- Flashing failures at valley transitions and penetrations. Upland’s steep foothill pitches and wind-driven rain expose weak flashing details quickly. We replace flashing with materials that hold up to the city’s heat and wind.
Owens Corning Service in Upland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the piece that doesn’t get talked about on generic Owens Corning pages: In Upland’s 91786 foothill neighborhoods, many original wood-shake roofs fall within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. That’s a state-mapped designation with real consequences. If your shake roof sits in that zone, your Owens Corning shingle replacement must include a Class A fire-rated assembly and defensible-space detailing. It’s not optional. A roofer working the valley floor in Ontario never has this conversation. Around Mountain Avenue in Upland, it’s the first thing any competent roofer should raise—just as we do with our Owens Corning service in Claremont foothill properties. On a 1960s ranch off Mountain Avenue in 91786, we tore off a deteriorating wood-shake roof and installed Owens Corning Duration® shingles with a Class A fire-rated system, adding new flashing and re-nailing the original decking to meet defensible-space guidelines. The homeowner was relieved to finally have an insurable roof that also stands up to the Santa Ana winds coming off the foothills.
Owens Corning Models & Products We Service in Upland
We install and repair Owens Corning’s full residential shingle line, including Oakridge® Architectural Shingles, Duration® Series Shingles, and Supreme® Shingles, plus WeatherGuard® Underlayment. For repairs, we use Owens Corning OEM shingles for exact color match and warranty compliance. For underlayment and flashing, we specify high-quality aftermarket products when they outperform OEM in Upland’s heat and wind. We stock common Owens Corning colors locally, which means faster turnaround for shingle replacements across Upland, 91784, 91785, and 91786, and similar quick response for Owens Corning repair in Montclair.

FAQs – Owens Corning Roofing in Upland
Yes. If your home sits in Upland’s Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and many 91786 foothill properties do, your replacement roof must use a Class A fire-rated assembly. Owens Corning shingles can be installed as part of a Class A system when paired with the correct underlayment and deck preparation. We handle the full setup including defensible-space detailing. Call (866) 321-6172 to confirm whether your Upland address falls in the zone and get a free estimate.
Santa Ana winds hitting Upland’s foothill slopes lift shingle tabs and break sealant bonds, especially on west-facing exposures. Duration® shingles are more wind-resistant, but even their sealant strips can fail after years of repeated gusts. We inspect for lifted tabs, missing shingles, and wind-driven debris damage as part of every Upland roof inspection.
Sometimes, but we won’t skip re-sheathing if the deck needs it. Upland’s older ranch homes often have original skip sheathing or loose deck boards under the shake. If we don’t re-nail and add solid sheathing, the underlayment wrinkles, shingles don’t lay flat, and you get leaks. We’ll tell you what your specific roof needs after we inspect it. Call (866) 321-6172 for an honest deck assessment.
Duration® Series shingles handle Upland’s intense UV and thermal cycling better than Supreme® or Oakridge® in our experience, particularly on unshaded exposures. But the right line depends on your roof’s slope, shading, and whether you’re in the fire-hazard zone. We inspect first, recommend second.
Both. We do targeted shingle replacement, flashing repair, and full roof replacement across Upland. If your Oakridge roof has years left, we’ll say so. Repair or replace, we’ll tell you which one actually makes sense. Estimates are free, call (866) 321-6172.
