CertainTeed Construction in Fontana, CA | Gold Star Contractors
We install and repair CertainTeed roof systems across every Fontana ZIP code, from 1950s tract roofs in 92335 to 2000s stucco subdivisions in 92336 and 92337. We’re an independent contractor, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer, which means we spec CertainTeed materials on their merits, not because a corporate program tells us to. The thing that separates our CertainTeed work in Fontana is that we know the two worlds of housing stock here and how each one fails differently under Inland Empire heat and Santa Ana wind. Call (833) 382-8544 for a free estimate on your CertainTeed roof repair or replacement.
Why Fontana Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Noel Carranza, owner at Gold Star Contractors, grew up watching tract homes get renovated block by block in Anaheim’s Platinum Triangle, and he brought that hands-on instinct for how older buildings actually go together to our Fontana work. We’ve torn open enough failed roof systems in this city to know that a CertainTeed Landmark PRO installed to spec on a corrected deck holds up, while the same shingle over original skip-sheathing telegraphs and cracks within a few summers. We handle roof replacement and installation, roof repair, and tile roofing with the same team from tear-off to final inspection, so there’s no handoff between a sales rep and a crew you’ve never met. Our CertainTeed sales & service experience covers the full product line, and we stock common OEM-compatible accessories locally for faster Fontana turnaround. One contractor, every system, no handoff gaps.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Fontana
CertainTeed makes solid roofing products. But Fontana’s climate and housing stock stress certain failure points harder than anything you’d see in a coastal city. Here’s what we fix most often:
- Accelerated granule loss on Landmark PRO. West- and south-facing roofs in the newer 92336 and 92337 subdivisions take direct afternoon sun, and after repeated 100°F+ summers the granule layer starts shedding and the shingle surface thermal-cracks. We see it on ten-year-old roofs that should have another decade in them.
- Sealant strip and tab edge failure on XT 25 and XT 30 three-tab shingles. The 1960s Kaiser Steel worker homes in south Fontana were originally roofed with three-tab shingles, and the hot-cold cycling plus Santa Ana gusts pop the sealant strip first at the tab edges, then the tabs lift and tear.
- WinterGuard and valley underlayment lifting at the eaves. Santa Ana wind-driven debris chews at the exposed underlayment, and the heat cycling breaks the seal where the membrane meets the eave edge. Wind-driven rain then tracks under the shingle courses and stains the decking.
- Deck telegraphing on shallow-slab homes. Fontana’s older homes often have original skip-sheathing, not solid plywood decking. A CertainTeed roof installed directly over that moves with every temperature swing, and the shingle courses telegraph the gaps underneath.
- Missing shear bracing forcing full roof-to-wall corrections. Thin stucco over wood frame with no shear panels means a re-roof on the old south Fontana stock often requires structural work before shingles go down. Skip that step and no shingle warranty survives the first wind event.
CertainTeed Service in Fontana: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here’s the part most roofing pages skip. South Fontana’s Kaiser Steel-era worker homes, especially through the 92335 ZIP and along corridors like Arrow Boulevard, were built to post-war minimum property standards. Thin stucco over wood frame. No shear bracing. Shallow slab foundations. When you re-roof one of these houses, the roof-to-wall connection often doesn’t meet current wind-uplift code, and the deck nailing pattern was set sixty years ago with whatever lumber was cheapest that month. A CertainTeed system installed without correcting those conditions is a bet against Santa Ana winds, and that bet loses. In a newer 92337 subdivision, the roof deck is solid OSB, the walls have shear panels, and the job is straightforward. In south Fontana, we correct the connection and the deck first, then lay the CertainTeed system on top. That’s the difference between a roof that looks good for two years and one that performs for twenty. It’s why our bids for older Fontana homes include structural correction line items that a generic estimator from outside the Inland Empire won’t even know to look for.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Fontana
We install and repair the full CertainTeed roofing lineup: Landmark PRO architectural shingles for most Fontana replacements, Presidential Shake and Presidential T/L when the job calls for a heavier slate or shake profile, and XT 25 and XT 30 three-tab shingles for matching existing older roofs. Our crew also handles CertainTeed repair in Bloomington when homeowners there need matching materials. Underlayment work covers DiamondDeck and RoofRunner synthetic products plus WinterGuard waterproofing membrane in valleys, eaves, and problem penetrations. When we repair, we match CertainTeed OEM shingles and accessories for like-for-like work, and we use aftermarket underlayment and fasteners only where they meet or exceed spec, and we tell you upfront when that’s the case. We keep common Landmark PRO colors and WinterGuard rolls stocked locally so a repair in Fontana doesn’t wait on a freight truck.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Fontana
What you’ll pay depends on two things: the condition of the existing roof and the age of the house. Newer homes in 92336 and 92337 usually need a straightforward tear-off and replacement. Older south Fontana stock may need deck correction, shear bracing, or re-nailing before shingles go down, and that’s reflected in the estimate we give you in writing before work starts. Here are our current ranges for Fontana:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600 – $2,500 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 – $40,000 |
Every estimate includes a site walk, deck inspection, and a written line-item quote. Call (833) 382-8544 and we’ll get you scheduled, no pressure and no change-order games once work starts.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Fontana
Yes, when it’s installed on a properly prepared deck with correct nailing and underlayment. Landmark PRO is a Class A fire-rated architectural shingle with a reinforced nailing zone, and it holds up well under Inland Empire heat when the roof beneath it is solid. The failures we see in Fontana are almost always installation or deck-condition problems, not shingle defects. If your deck telegraphs or your roof-to-wall connection is weak, no shingle survives the combination of thermal cycling and wind uplift. Call (833) 382-8544 and we’ll inspect what’s under the shingles before recommending anything.
It affects everything. Those post-war homes were built to minimum property standards that don’t meet current wind-uplift requirements, and a new CertainTeed roof needs the wall-to-roof connection corrected before it can be warrantied for wind. We factor shear corrections and deck re-nailing into estimates for older Fontana homes so you’re not surprised mid-project. It’s extra work, but skipping it means the first Santa Ana event lifts your new roof at the eaves.
We do both, and we tell you which one actually makes sense. A localized Landmark PRO repair where a branch hit or a few shingles blew off is usually the right call, and we match OEM shingles for a clean blend. We also handle CertainTeed in Glen Avon with the same repair-or-replace honesty. But on a 20-year-old roof with widespread granule loss across a Fontana south-facing slope, we’ll tell you honestly that patching is throwing money at a roof that’s already past its service life. Estimates for either option are free, so you can compare the numbers side by side before deciding.
No. Gold Star Contractors is an independent general contractor that installs and repairs CertainTeed roof systems, including CertainTeed in Pedley. We’re not a CertainTeed-authorized dealer, and we don’t process CertainTeed manufacturer warranties for them. What we do is spec their materials where they’re the right product for the job, install them to the manufacturer’s spec, and stand behind our workmanship. You get an honest recommendation, not a sales pitch tied to a manufacturer program.
Most CertainTeed Landmark PRO roof replacements in Fontana run between $8,000 and $20,000 depending on square footage, pitch, deck condition, and whether the home needs shear or deck corrections first. Older homes in 92335 trend toward the higher end because the prep work is heavier. A tile roof repair runs $600 to $2,500, and a localized shingle repair starts at $400. For an exact number on your roof, call (833) 382-8544, estimates are free.
