Owens Corning Construction in Redlands, CA | San Mateo Construction
We provide independent Owens Corning roofing installation and repair across Redlands, including the Smiley Park, Northside, and downtown historic districts. The one thing that makes our Owens Corning work here different is that we plan every roof around Redlands’ design review process and 100°F-plus summers, not just the shingle warranty. If you’re weighing a re-roof or a repair, call (855) 901-7266 and we’ll give you a straight read on what your roof actually needs.
Why Redlands Residents Choose Us for Owens Corning Service
San Mateo Construction is a full-scope general contractor, and roofing is one of the systems we carry end to end. We’ve installed and repaired Owens Corning lines long enough to know how Oakridge, Duration, and WeatherLock underlayment actually behave under Redlands sun and Santa Ana wind, not how they look in a brochure. What that means for you is straightforward: we spec the right Owens Corning system for your specific exposure, decking, and historic-district constraints, and we use OEM-compatible components so the warranty you paid for stays intact.
Noel Carrington grew up in Baywood, pouring concrete footings with his father, and he brings the same material-level honesty to every roof we quote. Tell me what you actually need, and we’ll figure out the right way to build it. That’s the approach. We’re not an authorized Owens Corning dealer and we don’t answer to a manufacturer sales program. We answer to you and to the City of Redlands building inspector.

Common Owens Corning Construction Problems We Solve in Redlands
- Santa Ana wind lifting tabs and tearing shingles at gable ends. Redlands sits in an open wind corridor, and the Santa Anas find every shingle whose sealant strip was marginally adhered or whose nail placement was slightly off. We see this most often on exposed gable ends and ridge caps where there’s zero wind break. A matched-shingle repair is usually the honest fix when the rest of the field is sound.
- Thermal cycling cooking sealant strips and granule loss on south- and west-facing slopes. A 15-year-old Owens Corning roof in Redlands can show bare asphalt and curling on the sun side while the shaded slope still looks nearly new. That’s not a manufacturing defect, it’s 100°F-plus days and intense UV doing exactly what they do. We’ll tell you whether a slope-specific repair makes sense or if it’s time to replace.
- Citrus-era skip sheathing telegraphing cracks through the shingles. On the 1890s – 1920s homes in Smiley Park and Northside, original 1x skip sheathing flexes underfoot and between rafters, and the shingles crack along valleys and eaves as a result. The shingle isn’t the failure, the deck is. We recommend redecking over skip sheathing before re-roofing, because shingling over a flexing substrate just buys you another failure five years out.
- Stucco-to-roof transition gaps on hand-troweled historic stucco. Thermal expansion at the wall flashing opens gaps that let wind-driven winter rain in behind the shingle edge, rotting fascia and sheathing. On a 1910s Craftsman in Smiley Park, this exact gap had been letting storm water in for years before we re-flashed the transition and ran WeatherLock through the valleys.
- Historic design review complicating visible shingle profile and color. In the Smiley Park, Northside, and downtown historic districts, a like-for-like re-roof is not automatically exempt the way it is on east Redlands tract homes. You may need design review and Mills Act coordination, and we handle that sequencing so the roof both performs and clears review.
Owens Corning Service in Redlands: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing most re-roof pitches won’t tell you about Redlands. In the city’s historic districts, re-roofing a contributing structure can trigger design review, and the visible shingle profile and color may need to read as period-appropriate for a 1908 Victorian or a 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival. That’s not a suggestion. We’ve walked projects through the review process where the homeowner thought they could pick whatever Owens Corning color was in stock, only to have the application sent back because the profile didn’t match the home’s period. What this means for an Owens Corning owner is that the shingle line you choose is not just a performance decision, it’s a compliance decision. In east Redlands tract developments, this constraint mostly disappears, but in Northside and around Smiley Park it’s the first thing we look at. Planning the review sequence before you order materials saves weeks and avoids re-selection mid-job.
Owens Corning Models & Products We Service in Redlands
We install and repair the Owens Corning lines that make sense for Inland Empire roofs. Oakridge architectural laminates, including Oakridge with Streak Guard algae resistance, hold up well on modest-pitch ranch homes. Duration and Duration FLEX with SureNail Technology give you more wind-uplift resistance for Redlands’ exposed gable ends and Santa Ana corridors. We also install the TruDefinition Duration Designer Colors Collection when a historic district or a homeowner’s aesthetic calls for a specific architectural read. Under every field, we run Owens Corning WeatherLock self-adhering underlayment through the valleys and eaves, and we finish with matched Owens Corning ridge vent and hip-and-ridge accessories. Mixing brands voids the wind and algae warranties, so we don’t do it.

AfterOwens Corning Service Pricing in Redlands
What you’ll pay depends on roof size, pitch, decking condition, and whether you’re in a historic district with review requirements. If your decking is soft or skip-sheathed, redecking adds to the total but it’s the difference between a roof that lasts and one that fails early. Here’s what we quote in the Redlands market:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 – $40,000 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600 – $2,500 |
A free estimate includes a decking inspection, a look at your flashing transitions, and a written line-item scope. No change orders hidden behind a verbal handshake. Call (855) 901-7266 and we’ll schedule it.

FAQs – Owens Corning Construction in Redlands
No, we’re an independent contractor, and that’s deliberate. We install Owens Corning systems because they’re the right material for many Redlands roofs, not because a manufacturer program tells us to. We’re not obligated to push one brand over another, and we’ll tell you when a different system makes more sense for your specific roof.
Yes. We use Owens Corning starter, hip-and-ridge, ridge vent, and WeatherLock underlayment on our Owens Corning installations. Mixing aftermarket components voids the manufacturer’s wind and algae warranties, so we don’t do it, and we’d recommend you not accept it from any contractor. If a Redlands roof needs a repair, we match the existing shingle line and color as closely as the stock allows.
Most re-roofs in Redlands take three to five working days, assuming no historic design review delays. If your home is in Smiley Park, Northside, or the downtown historic district, add time for the review process itself, which can run before materials are even ordered. If you’re in an east Redlands tract home with straightforward decking, it’s typically closer to three days.
We install and repair Oakridge, Oakridge with Streak Guard, Duration, Duration FLEX, and the TruDefinition Duration Designer Colors Collection. We also install the full Owens Corning accessory system, including WeatherLock underlayment, ridge vent, and starter and hip-and-ridge components. If you’re not sure which line fits your Redlands roof, call (855) 901-7266 and we’ll walk you through it.
Yes. We install metal roofing systems as an alternative to Owens Corning shingles when the fire code or your exposure makes metal the better call, particularly on Redlands homes near the wildland interface. Metal roof installation in Redlands typically runs $15,000 – $40,000 depending on panel profile and roof complexity. Call (855) 901-7266 for an exact quote, and we’ll give you a straight comparison between shingle and metal for your specific roof.
