Why Highland Residents Choose Us for Owens Corning Service

Seven brands. One contractor. We carry Owens Corning alongside GAF, CertainTeed, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, which means the product recommendation follows what your roof actually needs, not what we happen to have in the yard. Neil Stratton, our owner, grew up in Huntington Beach watching half the houses on his street leak at any given time, which turned out to be career guidance. He learned the trade through the construction technology program at Golden West College, then spent the next two-plus decades putting that foundation to work on roofs all over the South Bay and OC coastline, including Highland’s hot, windy corridor and Owens Corning in Redlands.

We inspect first, recommend second. That’s not a slogan, it’s how we work. When a Highland homeowner calls us about granule loss or lifted shingles, we don’t jump straight to a replacement quote. We walk the roof, check the sheathing, look at the sealant strips, and tell you honestly whether this is a repair or a replacement situation. Repair or replace, we’ll tell you which one actually makes sense.

Common Owens Corning Roofing Problems We Solve in Highland

Owens Corning makes a solid shingle, but Highland’s climate tests every material on the market. Here’s what we see most often on Owens Corning roofs in the 92346 ZIP code:

• Granule loss on south- and west-facing slopes. After repeated summers where temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, the asphalt in Owens Corning shingles oxidizes and the granules begin to release. We see this most on the sides of Highland homes that take direct afternoon sun. The shingle surface turns smooth, the asphalt is exposed, and hail resistance drops. On roofs under 15 years old, this often means targeted shingle replacement. Past 20 years, it’s usually a sign the whole field is done.
• Wind uplift and missing shingles after Santa Ana events. Highland sits squarely in the Inland Empire’s hot, dry, and windy corridor. When Santa Ana winds hit, the gusts channel through the tract neighborhoods and catch shingles along ridges and eaves. Older Owens Corning roofs, especially on 1990s tract homes, lose shingles because the original sealant strips have dried out and the tabs lift. We re-secure or replace those shingles with wind-rated nailing patterns.
• Brittle shingles that crack during inspection or repair. Owens Corning shingles on Highland roofs older than 15 to 20 years get hard. The summer heat bakes out the oils that keep them flexible. When we walk the roof for an inspection, those shingles can crack underfoot. That’s not a sign of poor workmanship, it’s a sign the material has reached the end of its service life in this climate.
• Premature sealant failure on hip and ridge caps. Highland’s daily thermal cycling, hot days followed by cooler nights, works the sealant strips on ridge caps and hip shingles. They expand, contract, and eventually lose their bond. We repair lifted caps and replace them with shingles and sealants matched to the existing Owens Corning system.
• Split decking discovered under old Owens Corning roofs. This one surprises a lot of Highland homeowners. Many mid-century tract homes have original 1×6 skip sheathing, and after decades of hot, dry attic air that wood becomes brittle enough to split when old shingles are stripped. We’ll get into this more below, because it directly affects replacement cost.

Owens Corning Service in Highland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Highland’s mid-century tract homes often have original 1×6 skip sheathing that, after decades of hot, dry attic air, becomes so brittle that it cracks when old shingles are stripped. So a re-roof on these blocks frequently requires full decking replacement, not just a shingle overlay. This is the single biggest cost variable on a Highland Owens Corning replacement, and it’s one that contractors from coastal towns rarely mention because they don’t see it. Homes near Baseline Street and the older tracts around Highland Avenue were built in an era before plywood decking was standard. When we strip an Owens Corning roof on one of these houses, the skip sheathing often splits under the nail puller. We don’t overlay new shingles on compromised wood, because that voids the material warranty and shortens the life of the new roof. We replace the decking with plywood, inspect the rafters, and install the new Owens Corning system on a surface that actually holds fasteners. Match the material to the roof, not the other way around.

Owens Corning Models & Products We Service in Highland

We work on the full Owens Corning shingle line: Supreme, Oakridge, Duration, and Duration Designer. Supreme and Oakridge are common on Highland’s older tract homes, while Duration and Duration Designer show up on newer builds and high-end reroofs. For repairs, we match Owens Corning shingles and accessories when available. When an Owens Corning color or line has been discontinued, we source the closest quality aftermarket match so the repair blends and the roof stays watertight. For replacements, we install Owens Corning systems with the accessories they’re designed to work with, underlayments rated for Highland’s heat, and wind-rated nailing patterns that hold through Santa Ana gusts. From the first inspection to the final shingle.
