CertainTeed Roofing in Montclair, CA | Huntington Beach Roofers
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service and full replacement across Montclair, working on Landmark, Presidential, and Flintlastic systems every week. For homeowners nearby, we also offer Roof Repair – Montclair and surrounding areas. The one thing that separates our CertainTeed work here from any other market: nearly every job involves a mixed roof, steep shingle field tied into a flat or low-slope section over a garage or rear addition. That combination, under Pomona Valley UV and Santa Ana wind, is exactly where these roofs fail first. Call (833) 467-4901 for a free estimate. We inspect first, recommend second, and we don’t push a shingle patch where a flat-section fix is what the roof actually needs.
Why Montclair Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Seven brands. One contractor. We carry GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, which means when we recommend CertainTeed for your Montclair roof, it’s because the product fits the structure and your budget, not because it’s the only shingle on our truck. Neil Stratton, our owner, has spent more than two decades tearing off and reinstalling roofs across the South Bay and Inland Empire. He grew up in Huntington Beach watching half his street’s roofs leak, then built a career learning exactly why. That background shapes how we approach Montclair’s older housing stock, and informs our CertainTeed service in La Verne as well. We know what a 1960s CertainTeed re-roof should look like when the tie-in between the shingle field and the flat section is done right. We’re not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized by CertainTeed. Our credibility comes from tear-offs, not a badge.
We carry material options across price tiers, from economy shingles to premium warranted systems. If a CertainTeed line is backordered or not the right match for a Montclair flat-section drainage issue, alternatives from our other six brands are available immediately. No single-vendor dependency. Match the material to the roof, not the other way around.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Montclair
- Granule loss and tab embrittlement on Landmark shingles. South- and west-facing planes in Montclair take relentless Pomona Valley UV. After ten to fifteen years, Landmark shingles on those exposures lose granules and the asphalt stiffens until the tabs crack instead of flex when walked. We see this every week on 1950s and 60s tracts. The fix is usually a targeted replacement of the affected planes, not always a full tear-off, but we’ll tell you which one actually makes sense after inspection.
- Ridge cap and rake-edge lift after Santa Ana wind events. Wind-driven grit and sustained gusts peel ridge caps and lift tab edges, starting at the windward gable. Post-wind inspection is a seasonal routine in Montclair. We re-secure lifted tabs where the shingle is still pliable, and replace cap shingles that have cracked at the nail line.
- Sound shingles with rusted-through flashing. A CertainTeed shingle field can look fine while the eave and valley flashings have corroded through. Leaks then trace to the flashing, not the shingle. In Montclair’s older tracts, original galvanized flashing from the 1960s and 70s has often outlived its service life. We replace it with quality aftermarket flashing rather than chasing a brand name on the hidden metal.
- Flintlastic low-slope sections ponding at the low corner. Montclair’s 1950s to 70s housing stock includes countless flat roof sections over garages and rear additions where the original deck was never re-sloped. Flintlastic modified bitumen seams eventually open at those ponding corners, and water backs under the tie-in where the flat section meets the shingle field. A shingle-only patch on a roof with a ponding flat section is money spent twice. We address the drainage, the deck, and the tie-in together.
- Layered shingles hiding dry-rotted sheathing. Second-generation roofs on Montclair homes often mean old shingles left in place under a newer layer. That traps moisture against the deck, and by the time we lift the layers, sheathing rot is common at the eaves and around the flat-section tie-in. Full tear-off is the only honest fix when that’s what we find.
CertainTeed Service in Montclair: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Montclair sits in the Pomona Valley at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. Summer heat radiates off those slopes and collides with hot, dry Santa Ana winds moving through the pass. The result is a sun-and-wind cycling load that ages shingles faster here than in coastal Los Angeles, and it lands hardest on the city’s dominant housing type: post-WWII and 1950s to 70s single-story tract homes with low-slope or flat sections over garages and rear additions. That’s the information-gain truth of roofing in the 91763 ZIP: a CertainTeed re-roof in Montclair is almost never a straight shingle tear-off, unlike simpler CertainTeed repair in Upland jobs. It’s a mixed-roof job. Steep gable field tied into a flat section that ponded through its original life, flashed with metal that rusted through decades ago. Generic CertainTeed pages don’t mention ponding corners. Every Montclair roofer working the mid-century grid knows it’s the first thing you check after the first winter storm. That local reality, more than any product spec sheet, dictates how we plan a CertainTeed replacement here.
On a 1960s tract off the Montclair grid near the 91763 core, we tore off a sun-brittled Landmark roof whose ridge caps had been peeled by a Santa Ana wind event, and found the original low-slope section over the rear addition ponding at one corner. We re-decked the gable, replaced the rusted flashing at the tie-in, and reset the flat section with Flintlastic so the new shingles and the low-slope edge drained the same direction instead of fighting each other. That’s the difference between a patched-over problem and a roof that moves water the way it was supposed to.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Montclair
We work on the full CertainTeed product family for Montclair homes: Landmark and Landmark Pro architectural shingles, XT 25 and XT 30 three-tabs on older tract re-roofs, Presidential Shake and Presidential TL on upgraded homes, and Flintlastic modified bitumen for low-slope garage and addition sections. Our approach to parts is straightforward: we match the CertainTeed product family already on the roof, same profile and color where it’s still manufactured, and we use quality aftermarket underlayment and flashing on the hidden layers. No brand-name premium on materials that never see sunlight. For local turnaround, we keep common Landmark colors and Flintlastic rolls available through our suppliers who serve the Pomona Valley, which shortens lead time when a Montclair flat section fails right before a storm. Need CertainTeed sales & service knowledge applied to your roof? That’s exactly what we do.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Montclair
What drives the cost on a Montclair CertainTeed job is the mixed-roof factor. A straight shingle tear-off on a newer Inland Empire tract prices differently than a 1960s home with a ponding flat section over the rear addition. For your planning, here are the lines that typically appear:
- Full CertainTeed Landmark tear-off and re-roof on a standard Montclair single-story: $11,500 – $18,900 depending on square count, tear-off layers, and sheathing replacement.
- Flintlastic flat-section repair or reset with tie-in flashing correction: $2,200 – $5,800 depending on deck condition and whether re-sloping is required.
- Flashing repair at eaves, valleys, or the shingle-to-flat tie-in: $450 – $1,900 depending on linear footage and accessibility.
- Standalone roof inspection with written condition report: $250 – $475, credited toward your replacement if we do the work.
Every free estimate from us is a written line-item quote, not a verbal ballpark. We walk the roof, check the flat sections, inspect the flashing, and give you a number that doesn’t change unless we open the roof and find deck damage no one could see from the surface. Call (833) 467-4901 to schedule yours.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Montclair
Technically we could, but we won’t recommend it. A shingle replacement on a mixed Montclair roof that leaves a ponding Flintlastic section in place means the new shingles will still tie into a failing low-slope edge. The leak comes back at the tie-in, and you’ve paid for a repair that never solved the drainage problem. Repair or replace, we’ll tell you which one actually makes sense, and on Montclair’s mid-century tracts, that means addressing both roof types together. Call (833) 467-4901 for an exact quote on your specific roof, estimates are free.
Wind damage on Montclair roofs shows up as lifted or missing tabs at the rake edge and ridge caps peeled back or gone entirely, concentrated on the windward gable after a Santa Ana event. Age-related failure looks different: even granule loss across the plane, curling at the tab edges, and shingles that crack when you step on them. Both conditions coexist on many 1950s to 70s Montclair homes. A post-wind inspection after a Santa Ana event is the seasonal routine here, and we’ll document what’s storm damage versus simple wear.
Almost always, yes. Montclair’s housing stock routinely presents layered shingles. Original three-tab under a later composition layer means the deck never got a proper look, and dry rot hides underneath. Adding a third layer is a bad roofing decision and violates most building code intent. A full tear-off lets us inspect and replace rotted sheathing, fix the flat-section tie-in, and give you a roof that performs from the deck up. If the deck or the low-slope tie-in is failing, we say so up front.
Only if we re-slope the deck or install tapered insulation before laying the Flintlastic. New modified bitumen on an unchanged deck will pond in the same corner and leak through the same seam in a few years. On Montclair rear additions where the original framer never built in drainage slope, we correct the pitch as part of the flat-section reset. That’s the difference between a roof that drains and one that holds water. Call (833) 467-4901 and we’ll inspect the slope and give you an honest answer, no charge for the estimate.
No. We’re an independent roofing contractor that installs and services CertainTeed products among a seven-brand portfolio. We’re not authorized, sponsored, or warranted by CertainTeed.
