CertainTeed Construction in Montclair, CA | San Mateo Construction
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing, siding, and trim service across Montclair, CA, including installation, repair, and re-roof work on post-war tract homes and room additions. What makes our CertainTeed work here different is that we understand how Montclair’s built-out infill lots, Pomona Valley heat, and Santa Ana wind exposure change the way CertainTeed products should be specified and installed. Call (855) 901-7266 to schedule a free estimate for your CertainTeed project in Montclair.
Why Montclair Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’ve installed CertainTeed Landmark, Presidential Shake, NorthGate, and Monogram siding on homes throughout the Pomona Valley, and we work closely with the planning counter in Montclair on setback and lot-coverage variances for rear-yard ADUs and room additions. Noel Carrington, our owner, grew up learning construction hands-on from his father helping pour concrete footings, and he’s spent decades on residential and light commercial jobs across the Inland Empire. That experience means we don’t guess at how a CertainTeed roof should lay over old skip-sheathing or how Monogram siding should be detailed on a west-facing Montclair wall. We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider, not a dealer or authorized installer, so our recommendations come from what your Montclair home actually needs, not a brand mandate. Our CertainTeed sales & service work covers the full Montclair service area, from initial tear-off through final inspection.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Montclair
Montclair’s housing stock and climate create specific failure patterns for CertainTeed products, so we tailor our Claremont CertainTeed service approach to match local conditions. Here’s what we see most often:
- CertainTeed Landmark shingles cracking along the ridge on 1950s – 70s tract homes. On homes with original skip-sheathing, the deck settles unevenly between rafters over decades. The shingle isn’t defective, but the fastening pattern and deck condition need correction before a re-roof makes sense. We re-sheet affected sections with OSB before installing the new Landmark system.
- CertainTeed NorthGate shingles lifting and creasing at the rake edge during Santa Ana wind events. Santa Ana winds hit Montclair hard, and when the original drip edge is undersized or the starter course was nailed too high, NorthGate shingles fold back at the rake. We correct the drip edge and starter course on every re-roof to prevent this.
- CertainTeed Monogram siding warping and paint chalking on west-facing walls. Afternoon sun in the Pomona Valley is brutal on west elevations. Without proper housewrap and a vented rain screen, Monogram panel ends warp and the finish chalks prematurely. We detail the wall assembly before the siding goes up, not after.
- Granule loss and blistering on CertainTeed Landmark shingles over converted garages. Montclair has many garages converted to living space. When Landmark shingles are installed over a low-slope or improperly vented roof deck, the attic heat builds and the shingles blister within a few summers. Attic ventilation is the culprit, not the shingle.
- Leak points around plumbing vents and chimney flashings on older tract homes. Original flashings on 1950s – 70s Montclair roofs are often galvanized steel that’s rusted through. We re-flash with compatible aftermarket components when the CertainTeed catalog doesn’t fit the older roof geometry.
CertainTeed Service in Montclair: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Montclair is a small, fully built-out San Bernardino County city. That means almost every CertainTeed roof or addition project here starts at the planning counter, not on the roof. We routinely pull permits for rear-yard ADU and room-addition roofs that require setback and lot-coverage variances, which means material selection and roof-plane layout get reviewed before tear-off, not after. On a 1958 single-story tract home near the Montclair Plaza area, we tore off three layers of old composition shingle and found the original skip-sheathing had sagged between rafters, causing CertainTeed Landmark shingles to crack along the ridge. We re-sheeted the affected sections with new OSB, installed CertainTeed starter strip and Ridge Vent, and finished with Landmark in a cool-roof color to meet the state energy code, then coordinated the final inspection with the city’s planning counter because the homeowner was adding a rear ADU under the same permit. The roof passed with no callbacks and the ADU drawings cleared the setback variance in the same review cycle. That’s the type of coordination Montclair infill construction demands, and it’s why we sequence material choices with the permit review process rather than treating them as separate steps.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Montclair
We service and install the full CertainTeed roofing line, including Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential Shake for prominent front elevations, and NorthGate for wind-resistant applications on Montclair homes exposed to Santa Ana gusts, and we also provide CertainTeed service in La Verne for nearby homeowners. On the siding side, we handle CertainTeed Monogram vinyl siding, including accessory trim and corner posts. Our parts approach is straightforward: we use CertainTeed accessory components like starter strips, ridge vents, and underlayments where they match the shingle system, but we will specify a compatible aftermarket drip edge or flashing when the CertainTeed catalog doesn’t fit an older Montclair roof geometry. If your CertainTeed roof has years of service left, we repair and re-flash. If the deck is soft or the shingles are at end of life, we recommend full replacement with a written scope.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Montclair
Sometimes, but we won’t know until we inspect the deck. If the skip-sheathing has sagged or rotted between rafters, Landmark shingles will crack along the ridge exactly where the deck has settled unevenly. In those cases, we re-sheet the affected sections with OSB before installing the new shingle system. We’ll tell you what the deck actually needs after we tear off, not before we’ve seen it. Call (855) 901-7266 to schedule a roof inspection in Montclair.
Yes. Because Montclair is fully built out, rear-yard ADU and room-addition roofs routinely require setback and lot-coverage variances through the city’s planning counter. We pull those permits and submit the roof-plane layout for review before tear-off, so the material selection and permit review happen together rather than in sequence. This saves you weeks. Call (855) 901-7266 if you’re planning an ADU roof in Montclair.
CertainTeed NorthGate shingles perform well in high wind when the drip edge is properly sized and the starter course is nailed at the right height. The failures we see in Montclair are almost always installation details at the rake edge, not the shingle itself. We correct those details on every re-roof and specify NorthGate where wind exposure is a real concern. For a wind-resistance assessment of your Montclair roof, call (855) 901-7266.
Presidential Shake is a thicker, heavier shingle with a deeper shadow line that reads more like hand-split wood shake. Landmark is a standard architectural shingle with a lower profile and lower installed cost. On Montclair tract homes with modest roof pitches, Landmark usually makes more sense. On a home where the front elevation or curb appeal is a priority, Presidential Shake is worth the upgrade. We’ll show you samples on your actual roof and help you decide what fits the house and the budget.
If the shingle color is still in production and the existing roof hasn’t faded too much, we can usually match it closely. If the roof is older and the color line has been discontinued or the weathering is significant, the patch will show, and we’ll tell you that before you spend money on a repair that looks patchy. Honest guidance on repair-versus-replace decisions is standard on every Montclair job we do. Call (855) 901-7266 for an exact repair estimate.
