We’re not a manufacturer rep. Hollywood Roofing Co is an independent CertainTeed service provider, which means our recommendations are driven by what the roof in front of us actually needs, not by what a single brand’s marketing department wants us to push, whether we’re working in Fontana or providing CertainTeed in Glen Avon. We install and service CertainTeed as one of seven major roofing brands we work with.

Why Fontana Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service

CertainTeed makes a deep catalog of shingles, tile accessories, and low-slope membranes, and getting the repair right on a Fontana roof means knowing which product line you’re dealing with before anyone climbs a ladder. Our crews have worked the full CertainTeed range here: Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential Shake, Grand Manor, and Flintlastic SA modified bitumen on the low-slope sections you’ll see on some older 92335 additions and patios.

Roland Vega, our owner, learned roofing at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and grew up in Los Feliz, where Santa Ana wind taught him early what a poorly installed roof will do when it gets worked over by a real blow. He’s spent the better part of three decades on roofs across Southern California, and he’s particular about matching CertainTeed’s own accessory lines to whatever field shingle or tile assembly is already in place. For a partial repair on a Fontana roof, OEM-compatible components matter; mixing aftermarket ridge caps or starter with a CertainTeed field shingle is how you end up with mismatched color and a seal that fails early.

We also carry a working stock of CertainTeed ridge cap shingles, starter strips, and underlayment on our trucks when we roll out to Fontana, which means the common repairs don’t sit waiting on a supplier run.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Fontana

Here are the failures we see most often on CertainTeed roofs in Fontana and on CertainTeed in Pedley. Each one has a local cause behind it.

• Wind-peeled ridge caps on 1980s-90s tile tracts. Santa Ana wind funnels through Cajon Pass and hits the exposed ridgelines north of the 210 hard. We regularly find CertainTeed ridge caps lifted or stripped clean while valley-floor roofs a few miles south show no damage at all.
• Brittle shingle tabs that crack at the eave and valley. Fontana’s 100°F+ summers and heavy Inland Empire UV load bake Landmark and Presidential Shake shingles until the sealant strips lose their grip. The field can look fine while tabs at the eaves and valleys are failing underneath.
• Ceiling stains with tile still intact. On the concrete-tile tracts, the original underlayment installed in the 1980s and 90s is often the real problem. The tile can look perfect while the underlayment below has dried out and split, letting monsoon water through to the decking.
• Leak paths at valleys, vent boots, and chimney flashing on older 92335 homes. Those mid-century stucco homes in south Fontana have baked-out felt underlayment that gives out at the transitions first. Wind-driven rain finds its way in where the valley metal meets old felt.
• Lost CertainTeed shingle tabs after Santa Ana events. The wind doesn’t damage the whole roof evenly. One exposed ridgeline or hip takes the full force while the neighbor’s roof below grade stays untouched. We see this asymmetry constantly in Fontana, and it’s a classic CertainTeed repair scope, not a full re-roof.

CertainTeed Service in Fontana: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Fontana straddles two building eras, and the split runs roughly along the 210. South of the freeway, in 92335, you have the original mid-century stucco tract homes built for Kaiser steel mill workers: single-story, shallow-pitch, mostly asphalt shingle. North of the 210, in 92336 and 92337, you have the 1980s-2000s master-planned subdivisions with two-story concrete tile roofs and steeper pitches. A CertainTeed bid in Fontana has to swing between those two worlds, sometimes in the same week. One day we’re stripping worn Landmark shingles off a 1950s bungalow near the old mill site; the next, we’re lifting and re-felting concrete tile on a two-story tract home where the original underlayment is shot but the tile is still sound. It’s not a theoretical distinction. A roofer who treats every Fontana roof the same is going to misdiagnose a lot of them.

We saw it clearly up in the 92336 tract subdivisions north of the 210, on a post-storm call where the concrete tile looked perfectly intact but the ceiling below was staining. Our crew lifted the field tile, found the original underlayment baked to dust after two decades of UV and monsoon cycling, replaced it with new CertainTeed underlayment, and re-set the sound tile. Then they hand-sealed the ridge caps that the last Santa Ana wind had loosened. The tile was never the problem. The underlayment was, and the wind had opened the ridge for water to get behind it.

A roof doesn’t ask for much, just that you pay attention before it has to ask loudly.

CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Fontana

We work on the CertainTeed assemblies most common in Fontana housing stock. Landmark architectural shingles show up on a large share of the re-roofed mid-century homes in 92335 and on some of the newer tracts. Presidential Shake and Grand Manor appear on higher-end resheathing projects, often where a homeowner wants a heavier shadow line. Flintlastic SA modified bitumen covers the low-slope sections, which we see on older patio covers, carports, and some 1950s additions in south Fontana.

Our rule is simple: match the repair to the roof. For a CertainTeed shingle repair, we use CertainTeed ridge cap, starter, and underlayment from the same product line family rather than generic aftermarket pieces. The color match, the seal, and the wind rating all depend on using the right components together. We carry the common accessories for the product lines above on our service trucks, which keeps turnaround on a Fontana repair tight.

FAQs: CertainTeed Roofing in Fontana

My 1990s concrete-tile roof in 92336 looks fine but I keep getting ceiling stains after winter rain. Is it the tile or the underlayment?
Almost always the underlayment. On those 1980s-90s tile tracts north of the 210, the original felt underlayment degrades from UV and monsoon cycling long before the tile shows wear. The tile can look perfect while water passes through the underlayment below. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll confirm exactly what’s leaking before recommending any scope.

Why did my CertainTeed shingles on a ridge in Fontana lose tabs after a wind event when my neighbor’s roof didn’t?
Santa Ana wind coming through Cajon Pass doesn’t hit every roof evenly. Exposed ridgelines and hips take the full force while valley-floor roofs a few miles away stay intact. Your neighbor’s roof likely sits at a lower elevation or in a more sheltered orientation. The fix is usually a targeted ridge and tab repair, not a full re-roof.

Do you have to replace my whole CertainTeed tile roof or can the underlayment be done alone?
You can absolutely do the underlayment alone if the tile is still sound. We lift the field tile, remove the failed underlayment, replace it with new CertainTeed underlayment, and re-set the tile we removed. It’s a smaller scope than a full tear-off and it preserves the tile you already paid for. Call (833) 589-7971 for a free estimate with a written scope.

My older stucco home in 92335 has CertainTeed shingles and I’m getting a leak in the valley. Is it a repair or a re-roof?
Usually a repair, not a re-roof. That said, valley leaks on older 92335 homes are more common because the underlayment has baked out and the valley metal was installed decades ago. If the valley metal is intact and the shingles are in decent shape, we replace the underlayment and flashing in the valley and seal it with CertainTeed-compatible components. If we find broader underlayment failure, we’ll show you exactly where and let you decide.

Can you match the CertainTeed shingle already on my roof for a partial repair?
Yes, provided the shingle line is still in production. CertainTeed Landmark colors remain widely available, and we match the accessory components to the same product family, not an off-brand lookalike. For discontinued colors, we’ll show you the closest available match before anyone starts work.
