CertainTeed Roofing in Mentone, CA | Huntington Beach Roofers
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing installation, repair, and replacement across Mentone, CA 92359. What makes our CertainTeed work here different is that we inspect by wind exposure, not just by roof age, because the Santa Ana winds that funnel through the Crafton Hills gap hit east and north slopes far harder than anything the flatter valley floor experiences. If your CertainTeed roof is losing shingles on one side only, that’s a Mentone-specific failure pattern, and we know exactly how to address it. Call Neil Stratton’s team at (833) 467-4901 for a straight assessment.
Why Mentone Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’ve installed and repaired CertainTeed Landmark, Presidential Shake, XT25, and Flintlastic systems across the Inland Empire for years, which means we know how these products hold up when they’re asked to survive Crafton Hills wind rather than mild coastal weather. That experience matters when you’re deciding between a repair and a full reroof. Neil Stratton grew up on the coast, where he learned early that most roof failures trace back to a handful of predictable causes: bad flashing, wrong underlayment, or wind hitting an exposure the installer never accounted for. We bring that same diagnostic approach to every CertainTeed roof we touch in Mentone.
We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider, not an authorized or sponsored contractor. That matters because our recommendations come from what the roof actually needs, not a brand program or sales quota. We carry seven roofing brands, GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, so if a CertainTeed product isn’t the right fit for your specific Mentone exposure, we’ll tell you. CertainTeed sales & service is one lane of our work, but it’s not the only lane, and that’s a good thing for homeowners.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Mentone
- Directional ridge cap and rake loss. East- and north-facing slopes on Mentone hillside-edge homes routinely lose ridge caps and rake shingles during Santa Ana events while the sheltered south slope stays untouched. We re-secure with CertainTeed cap shingles and ring-shank nails rated for uplift, then upgrade the underlayment on the windward side.
- UV granule loss on Landmark fields. Prolonged triple-digit summers bake west- and south-facing shingle fields until the mat gets brittle at the tabs. The shingle looks fine from the driveway, but it’s already failing. We catch this with a close-up inspection, not a drive-by.
- Shingles over original wood shake with skip sheathing. Many 1940s-1970s Mentone ranch and cottage homes still have original wood shake underneath a later CertainTeed shingle layer. Wind-driven winter rain gets under the tabs and rots the sheathing before the field shows any wear. This almost always means a full tear-off.
- Flintlastic low-slope ponding and flashing failure. Low-slope sections over rear additions and detached garages pond at the low corner here. We find failed flashing hidden under mastic-and-coating patches all the time, and the first real winter storm exposes it.
- End-of-life shake roofs uncovered during CertainTeed reroofs. When we tear off an old shake roof in Mentone, we typically find delaminated shake, rusted fasteners, and decking that needs re-sheathing before any new underlayment goes down. We bid that work accurately so there are no surprises mid-job.
CertainTeed Service in Mentone: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Mentone sits at the base of the Crafton Hills on the eastern edge of Redlands, and that position changes everything about how a CertainTeed roof wears. The Santa Ana winds funnel east through the Crafton Hills gap above town, which means technicians here routinely find ridge caps, shake tabs, and edge metal stripped or lifted on east- and north-facing slopes while the sheltered south slope looks brand new. That is a wind-direction failure pattern specific to this hillside-edge town, not something you see on flatland Redlands roofs just a few miles west. When we inspect a Mentone roof, we fasten and assess by exposure side first, not by roof age, because a ten-year-old CertainTeed Landmark roof on a windward slope can be in worse shape than a twenty-year-old roof on a sheltered one. On a mid-century ranch east of the Crafton Hills, our crew was called after a fall wind event for what the homeowner assumed was a simple Landmark shingle replacement, but the east-facing slope had lost most of its ridge caps and rake while the south slope was still tight. We replaced the ridge and rake with CertainTeed cap shingles, upgraded the underlayment and eave flashing on the windward side, and re-nailed the remaining field shingles with ring-shank nails rated for uplift. The roof came through the next Santa Ana event with nothing lifted.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Mentone
We work on the full range of CertainTeed products found on Mentone roofs:
- Landmark architectural shingles, the most common CertainTeed field shingle on newer reroofs here.
- Presidential Shake and Presidential TL, premium shake-look shingles that show up on higher-end ranch and hillside homes.
- XT25 three-tab shingles, still common on older Mentone reroofs from decades past.
- Flintlastic modified bitumen, used on low-slope and patio sections, rear additions, and detached garages.
We specify CertainTeed-manufactured shingles, ridge caps, starter strips, and Flintlastic membrane so the assembly matches the manufacturer’s published installation details. For underlayments and flashing, we use quality aftermarket products only where they meet or exceed spec. On a Mentone roof, we’d rather repair a sound CertainTeed field and replace the failed flashing or ridge caps than sell you a full tear-off, but once decking or underlayment is compromised, a patch is money thrown away and we’ll say so plainly.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Mentone
Because the Santa Ana winds funnel east through the Crafton Hills gap and hit east- and north-facing slopes far harder than the sheltered south and west. This is a directional wind-uplift pattern specific to Mentone’s hillside-edge location, and the fix is exposure-based fastening, not just replacing the lifted shingles. Call (833) 467-4901 and we’ll assess your windward slopes first.
Almost always, yes. Original wood shake with skip sheathing under a layer of CertainTeed shingles means wind-driven rain has likely been getting under the tabs for years. We need to remove everything, assess and re-sheath the deck, then install the new CertainTeed system properly. This is the right call for homes built in the 1940s through 1970s here.
It does. Prolonged triple-digit summers with direct high-desert-adjacent sun accelerate granule loss and mat brittleness on west- and south-facing fields. A Landmark roof in Mentone will generally not last as long as the same roof in a coastal city, which is why exposure-based inspection matters more than the roof’s calendar age. Call (833) 467-4901 for an honest assessment.
Yes. Flintlastic low-slope sections, common over rear additions and detached garages across Mentone, need proper flashing details at the roof-to-wall transitions and at any ponding corners. We see failed flashing hidden under mastic patches all the time. The membrane itself may be fine, but the flashing is where these roofs leak. We’ll tell you which one you actually need fixed.
No. We are an independent CertainTeed service provider. We install and repair CertainTeed products regularly and know their installation details cold, but we are not backed by or affiliated with CertainTeed, which means our recommendations are driven by what your Mentone roof actually needs, not a manufacturer program. We like it that way, and so do most homeowners we work with.
