CertainTeed Construction in Fullerton, CA | San Mateo Construction
We install, repair, and replace CertainTeed roofing and siding systems across Fullerton, from the 1920s bungalows near the train depot to the 1950s tract houses rolling up toward Raymond Hills, and we offer CertainTeed repair in La Habra as well. The one thing that makes our CertainTeed work different here is that we know this city’s split personality: flat downtown infill on one side, hillside drainage problems on the other, and a lot of pre-war framing between the two. We’re an independent contractor, not authorized by CertainTeed, and we’ll tell you straight what your roof or siding actually needs. Call (855) 901-7266 for a free estimate.
Why Fullerton Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We work with CertainTeed Landmark shingles, Presidential shingles, WeatherBoards siding, and WinterGuard underlayment every week across Fullerton’s bungalow and tract stock. That repetition matters. When you’ve torn off thirty Landmark roofs on near-identical 1950s tract houses north of Chapman, you learn exactly where those roofs fail and what the deck looks like underneath before you even pull the first shingle. Noel Carrington leads our team, and he’s the first to say that a roof estimate is only as good as the sheathing inspection behind it.
We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider, which means we’re not tied to a manufacturer’s script. We specify CertainTeed-branded WinterGuard, starter, ridge, and flashing where the warranty and performance depend on them. Where the spec allows it, we use quality aftermarket fasteners and edge metal that hold up better for the money. For CertainTeed sales & service, that independence is the whole point: we recommend what the assembly actually needs, not what a distributor wants moved.
If you’re in Fullerton, you’re also dealing with a house stock that predates modern roof decking standards. We know that before we quote. Call (855) 901-7266 and we’ll walk the roof with you.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Fullerton
- Valley and sidewall flashing failures on Landmark roofs. The shallow-pitch 1950s tract roofs across north and west Fullerton fail first at valleys and sidewall flashings, where decades of patch jobs and undersized underlayment let water back up under the shingle course during a Santa Ana-driven downpour or the first real winter storm. We see this constantly on the blocks between Euclid and Harbor.
- Granule loss and fastener corrosion on foothill properties. Up in Raymond Hills and Summit, poorly grading lots hold moisture against the roof edge and fascia longer than flat downtown infill ever does. That moisture eats at fasteners and accelerates granule loss on CertainTeed shingles, even when the field of the roof looks fine from the curb.
- WeatherBoards siding failing at end-grain and old fascia. On 1940s-60s bungalows near downtown Fullerton, WeatherBoards fiber cement often looks fine in July and wicks moisture by January. The culprit is usually the original trim behind it: termite-damaged or undersized fascia that was never replaced before the siding went on.
- Deck sag and nail pop telegraphing through new Landmark assemblies. Original 1950s roof decks with skipped sheathing and old 3-tab layers underneath mean a Landmark replacement sometimes shows deck sag and nail pop within a year or two. We verify sheathing and rafter spacing before trusting a new wind-rated assembly.
- Roof edge rot on low-pitch roofs with mature tree cover. Fullerton’s mature street trees drop a lot of debris onto shallow-pitch roofs, and where gutters were undersized or sloped wrong, the roof edge stays wet. That rot creeps into the fascia and eventually under the first course of shingles, no matter whose shingle is up there.
CertainTeed Service in Fullerton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Fullerton sits on the boundary between LA Basin flatland and rolling foothills, and that split shapes every CertainTeed roof we work on. Downtown, the lots are flat and the houses are pre-war Craftsman and Spanish Colonial bungalows with low-pitch roofs and original framing. Up in Raymond Hills and Summit, the same city, same permit jurisdiction, but the slope, drainage, and retaining-wall engineering drive the job. A Landmark roof on a flat downtown tract drains to the gutter and that’s the end of it. A Landmark roof on a hillside lot drains across the slope, picks up debris from mature oaks, and sits wet at the low edge because the grading never moved water the way it should, which is why we also provide CertainTeed service in Brea for similar terrain. That’s why a CertainTeed installation in Fullerton can’t be a cookie-cutter spec: the shingle is the same, but the underlayment, the edge detail, and the ventilation are not. Add in the oil history in the north, and you get builders here dealing with older foundations and hillside grading that contractors two towns over in flat Anaheim simply don’t face.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Fullerton
We install and repair the full CertainTeed roofing and siding lines: Landmark and Landmark Pro architectural shingles, Presidential and Presidential Solaris heavyweight shingles, WeatherBoards fiber cement siding, and WinterGuard waterproofing underlayment. On a full tear-off, we recommend replacing the whole assembly rather than layering shingles over failed underlayment, because in Fullerton’s climate that underlayment is doing invisible work every winter. We specify CertainTeed-branded starter, ridge, and accessory components where the warranty depends on them, and use quality aftermarket fasteners and edge metal where the spec allows. For fast Fullerton turnaround, we keep common Landmark colors and WinterGuard rolls stocked locally, so we’re not waiting on a distributor in Commerce to open.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Fullerton
Roof work in Fullerton runs the same range as the rest of San Mateo County, but the condition of the deck underneath drives the final number more than the shingle choice. A clean tear-off on a flat downtown lot lands at the lower end. A 1950s tract roof with skipped sheathing and two old 3-tab layers under it runs higher, because we have to fix the deck before the shingles go down. Our estimates are free and itemized, so you see exactly what’s deck work and what’s CertainTeed material.
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600 – $2,500 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 – $40,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
If you want an exact number for your roof, call (855) 901-7266 and we’ll inspect the deck before we quote. There’s no charge for the estimate.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Fullerton
No, we don’t recommend it. Those original 1950s roofs almost always have skipped sheathing and old 3-tab layers underneath, and a Landmark assembly layered over that telegraphs deck sag and nail pop within a couple of years. You need the deck verified, and in most cases re-sheathed, before the new shingles go down. Call (855) 901-7266 and we’ll tell you what your specific roof needs.
Yes. Landmark architectural shingles are heavier, rated for higher wind uplift, and stand up to Southern California sun far better than the 3-tab that was original to most Fullerton tract houses. The failure point isn’t the shingle, though; it’s the underlayment and flashing from the original install. Call (855) 901-7266 for an exact quote on a full assembly replacement.
No, it’s a grading and drainage problem. Foothill lots in Fullerton often hold moisture against the roof edge and fascia longer than flat downtown lots, and that has nothing to do with the shingle brand. We’d inspect the edge metal, the gutter slope, and the grading first. Call (855) 901-7266 and we’ll figure out where the water is actually coming from.
WeatherBoards fiber cement is a good material, but only if the original trim and fascia behind it are sound or replaced. On those bungalows, the original 1940s trim is often termite-damaged or undersized, and new siding over rotten trim wicks moisture by January. We’d pull the corner boards and check before recommending it. Call (855) 901-7266 for a siding inspection.
Mostly, but not automatically. The houses look identical from the curb, but each lot drains differently depending on mature tree cover and original grading. One verified Landmark assembly with specific sheathing and underlayment can carry across the street, but we inspect per-parcel before we assume the neighbor’s scope applies. Call (855) 901-7266 and we’ll look at your lot, not the block average.
