CertainTeed Roofing in Highland, CA | Hollywood Roofing Co
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Highland, CA, from full replacements to targeted repair work on Landmark, Presidential Shake, and Flintlastic systems. What makes our CertainTeed work different here is simple: we understand how these roofs actually behave at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains, where Santa Ana winds and intense UV exposure create a specific set of failure patterns you won’t find ten miles west. Call (833) 589-7971 to schedule a free estimate. We’re also your source for CertainTeed sales & service throughout the Inland Empire.
Why Highland Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’ve spent years working on CertainTeed roofs in Highland’s foothill neighborhoods, and that time has taught us exactly where these assemblies fail and why. It’s rarely the shingle itself. It’s usually the way the shingle interacts with the roof’s design, the slope orientation, and the weather that hits it. That’s the knowledge you get when you hire a contractor who has pulled apart hundreds of these roofs in this specific climate.
Roland Vega, owner of Hollywood Roofing Co, grew up close enough to the San Gabriels to know what a punishing wind event does to a roof that wasn’t installed with proper attention to edge sealing and ridge cap fastening. He learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent nearly three decades working roofs across Southern California. When we assess a CertainTeed roof in Highland, we’re looking at it through the lens of that experience and our familiarity with how these products hold up in this exact environment.
We walk the roof. We inspect the flashing, the underlayment condition, the nail pattern on the ridge caps, and the way the shingles are responding to the sun exposure on the south and west slopes. Then we tell you honestly what needs attention and what can wait. As a company that installs and services seven major roofing brands including CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, our recommendation is matched to your home, not to a supplier’s incentive program.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Highland
CertainTeed makes solid roofing products, but no shingle is immune to the specific stresses of Highland’s semi-arid climate. Here’s what we see most often on the roofs we service in Highland service area:
- Ridge cap blow-off after Santa Ana wind events. Highland’s gusts funnel down the mountain slopes with more force than what hits the valley floor, and exposed ridgelines take the brunt. If the original installer used too few nails or didn’t hand-seal the caps, they peel off in a single windstorm. We repair this by re-securing with manufacturer-specified fasteners and, where the wind exposure is severe, adding a bead of sealant under each cap.
- Granule loss and curling on south- and west-facing slopes. The UV intensity at Highland’s elevation bakes shingle surfaces faster than the heat alone suggests. We see 15-year-old CertainTeed Landmark shingles that look 20 years old on the sunny exposures. The granule loss accelerates, the asphalt oxidizes, and the shingles start to cup. If the underlying felt is still sound, a slope-by-slope repair can buy you time. If the underlayment is baked out too, the repair math changes.
- Seam failure at low-slope to shingle transitions. Highland’s 1950s through 1980s tract homes frequently have flat or low-slope sections tied to steeper shingle planes. On Flintlastic and built-up membrane roofs, the seam where the flat plane meets the shingle slope is where water gets in first. The membrane shrinks, the flashing pulls away, and the patch becomes a persistent leak. We re-detail these transitions as part of our CertainTeed service in Lakeland Village and Highland work alike.
- Underlayment failure on original installations. Thermal cycling in Highland is brutal; daytime highs exceed 100°F in the summer and nights drop into the 60s. That daily expansion and contraction works the underlayment until it tears around the nail penetrations. When we tear off a roof that’s been leaking for a while, the underlayment is often brittle and cracked long before the shingles show visible failure from the ground.
- Wood shake roofs that have dried into fire hazards. This is the biggest one we see in Highland’s foothill blocks. Original cedar shakes from the 1960s and 70s have dried brittle in the arid climate, and they now read as kindling. We convert these to fire-rated CertainTeed assemblies, often adding ember-resistant edge metal and re-decking where need be.
CertainTeed Service in Highland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here’s the thing about roofing in Highland that most contractors won’t tell you: the city sits right at the wildland-urban interface, and that changes what a “correct” roof installation actually means. The original wood shake roofs in the foothill neighborhoods along the base of the CertainTeed in San Bernardino Mountains were fine when they went on in the 1960s. They’re not fine now. They’ve had fifty years of dry heat pulling the moisture out of the wood until the shakes are brittle enough to snap by hand, and they read as a fire hazard to any insurance underwriter who looks at them.
What we’re doing on a lot of these homes is a full shake-to-shingle conversion. We tear off the old shake, inspect the skip-sheathing underneath, and more often than not we find that the deck needs to be re-sheathed before anything else can go down. Then we install a CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingle system over a fire-rated underlayment, with ember-resistant edge metal at the eaves and rakes, and we hand-seal the ridge caps for the Santa Ana wind exposure. The result is a Class A fire-rated assembly that also happens to drop the homeowner’s insurance friction. You don’t see this conversion pattern in lower-elevation cities like CertainTeed in Redlands nearby. It’s specific to Highland and the other foothill communities where the original housing stock was built with shake roofs that are now past their service life.
It lines up, too, with how Roland sees his work. “A roof doesn’t ask for much, just that you pay attention before it has to ask loudly.” A shake roof in Highland is asking loudly.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Highland
We work on the full range of CertainTeed roofing systems installed in Highland, with the practical experience to know each one’s strengths and weak points:
- Landmark architectural shingles: The workhorse of Highland’s re-roof market. We handle full replacements, slope repairs, and color-matched partial repairs using manufacturer-matched shingles.
- Presidential Shake luxury shingles: Common on newer Highland hillside homes. We repair wind-damaged tabs and replace damaged sections with proper matching.
- Flintlastic SA modified bitumen: The go-to for Highland’s many low-slope and flat roof sections. We handle seam repairs, flashing re-details, and full membrane replacement.
- CertainTeed underlayments and accessory systems: We install these as matched systems rather than mixing brands, because a fire-rated assembly only performs as rated when its layers were designed to work together.
We stock common CertainTeed shingle colors and accessory components locally for faster turnaround on CertainTeed repair in Muscoy and Highland repairs. When a windstorm takes out a section of your ridge caps, you don’t want to wait two weeks for parts to ship.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Highland
What does CertainTeed service cost in Highland? For a typical full Landmark architectural shingle replacement on a single-family home in the 92346 ZIP code, you’re looking at a range from roughly $7,500 to $13,500 depending on roof size, slope complexity, and the condition of the existing deck. A presidential-style shingle system runs higher, and the shake-to-shingle conversions we do in the foothill blocks usually add decking and disposal costs. Here’s a clearer picture:
- Slope repair (wind-damaged shingles or ridge caps): $600-$1,500 for a typical repair area, including matching shingles and hand-sealed caps.
- Flashing repair at transitions and valleys: $450-$1,000, depending on how much of the area needs to be re-detailed and re-sealed.
- Flintlastic low-slope section repair: $1,200-$4,000, depending on the size of the section and the condition of the existing membrane.
- Full tear-off and re-roof with Landmark architectural shingles: $8,500-$14,000 for a typical Highland single-family home.
- Wood shake to Class A fire-rated CertainTeed conversion: $11,000-$18,000, including re-decking where needed and ember-resistant edge metal.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Highland
No, and you shouldn’t ask anyone else to either. A wood shake roof is an uneven, gapped surface, and installing shingles over it creates a weak, lumpy roof with no solid attachment. We tear the shake off, inspect the skip-sheathing, and usually re-deck before we lay down the new CertainTeed system. It costs more up front, but a shingle-over-shake job is a false economy that fails early and hard. Call (833) 589-7971 for an honest assessment of your existing roof.
In the foothill neighborhoods, yes; and even in the flatland blocks, it’s the smart call. Highland sits at the wildland-urban interface, and your insurance company is paying attention to what’s on your roof. A Class A assembly using CertainTeed shingles over a fire-rated underlayment, with ember-resistant edge metal, is the difference between a roof that protects your home and one that feeds it. We’ve seen homeowners resolve insurance non-renewal notices by making this exact conversion. For an exact price, call (833) 589-7971.
Almost always, it’s an installation issue, not a product defect. Ridge caps need the right number of nails and often a bead of sealant along each cap to stay put in Highland’s wind loading. If the original installer cut corners, the caps peel off at the first strong Santa Ana. We re-secure them with manufacturer-specified fasteners and, on exposed ridgelines, we hand-seal each cap. If your caps blew off two weeks ago, call us before the next wind event at (833) 589-7971.
Usually not. The leak is almost always at the transition itself, where the membrane terminates and the shingle flashing begins. That seam opens up as the two materials expand and contract at different rates, and Highland’s thermal cycling makes it worse. We re-detail the transition with proper bridging flashing and fresh fabric reinforcement. It’ll cost a few hundred dollars, not a full roof. Call (833) 589-7971 for a specific repair quote.
In most cases, yes. CertainTeed’s color batches are consistent enough that a freshly installed slope in the same color will blend acceptably within a season or two of weathering. That said, if your roof is more than ten years old, the installed shingles have faded, and a new batch will show some difference. We’ll tell you before you commit. For a color-match assessment on your Highland roof, call (833) 589-7971.
