CertainTeed Construction in Claremont, CA | Gold Star Contractors
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing and exterior construction service across Claremont, CA, from full roof replacements with Landmark PRO shingles to storm-damage repair after Santa Ana wind events. What sets our CertainTeed work apart here is simple: we know Claremont’s design-review process, and we pull shingle color and profile samples for architectural review before a single bundle gets ordered. That’s a step most crews skip. Call (833) 382-8544 for a free estimate.

Why Claremont Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed shingles and siding show up all over Claremont, from early Craftsman bungalows near the Village to the 1950s ranch homes that line the streets east of College Avenue. We work on those roofs every week, so we’ve learned how CertainTeed’s product lines actually hold up under the sun and wind this city gets at the base of the San Gabriels. Noel Carranza, our owner and general contractor, grew up in Anaheim watching older tract homes get torn apart and rebuilt, and he studied construction technology at Fullerton College before spending years in the field doing concrete, framing, and finish carpentry. That background means we don’t just swap shingles; we look at how the whole roof assembly hangs together. For Claremont homeowners, that matters, because a roof here has to survive intense summer heat, Santa Ana gusts, and a city review process that notices when the replacement doesn’t match the neighborhood. We’re an independent contractor, not a CertainTeed dealer, so our recommendations are based on what the house actually needs, not what we’re obligated to sell. One call, done right, that’s the only way we know how to run a job.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Claremont
CertainTeed products are well engineered, but Claremont’s climate and housing stock create a few repeat failure patterns we see more here than anywhere else:
- Uneven granule loss on Landmark-series shingles. West- and south-facing roof planes in Claremont take relentless afternoon UV during summer, often with reflected heat bouncing off adjacent low-slope sections. We regularly see early granule shedding and surface blistering on those planes while the north-facing side still looks nearly new.
- Santa Ana wind damage at ridge and eave edges. Older Claremont homes, especially mid-century ranch houses with thin original sheathing, often had shingles installed with too few fasteners or nails that were too short. When the Santa Anas channel down from the mountains, tabs lift and crease at the ridge line and eaves. The shingle may still be there, but it’s compromised.
- Cedar Impressions siding that chalks and fades unevenly. On 1950s and 1960s ranch homes, the hottest elevations show chalky film and seam-lifting while shaded sides still hold their color. It’s purely a sun-exposure issue, and it’s common on the south-facing walls of homes along Foothill and in the neighborhoods just north of the Village.
- Leaks from failed underlayment, not failed shingles. Many older Claremont homes have skipped, deteriorated, or non-existent underlayment beneath their CertainTeed shingles. Water gets in at valleys and pipe penetrations long before the shingle itself fails, and by the time a homeowner sees a ceiling stain, the decking underneath is already soft.
- DiamondDeck and older underlayment breakdown on low-slope sections. Claremont has a fair number of homes with low-slope porch and addition roofs. CertainTeed’s own underlayments hold up well when installed right, but on older jobs where the underlayment was exposed too long or poorly flashed, we find tears and dry rot that need re-sheathing before new shingles go down.
CertainTeed Service in Claremont: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the detail most out-of-town crews don’t understand until the city stops their job: Claremont’s design-review and historic-preservation scrutiny reaches even front-facing roof and exterior changes near the Colleges and Village. A homeowner off Indian Hill Boulevard who wants to replace a faded CertainTeed roof can’t just pick any shingle color off a sample board and have it installed the next week. The city may require the new profile and color to be reviewed against the neighborhood’s architectural character before work starts. That’s why we routinely pull CertainTeed shingle color and profile samples for architectural review before ordering material, a step tract crews in Pomona and our Montclair CertainTeed service competitors skip entirely. We’ve sat through submittal reviews where a slightly wrong shingle color got flagged. It adds a few days up front, but it prevents a stop-work order and a torn-off roof that has to be redone. On one 1950s ranch off the Village area, our crew tore off a wind-damaged CertainTeed Landmark roof where Santa Ana gusts had creased tabs along the ridge. Underneath, we found failed underlayment at the valleys. We re-sheathed the soft spots, installed new CertainTeed underlayment and Landmark PRO shingles, and matched the existing profile so the job cleared the city’s design review without a second submittal. That’s how you do CertainTeed work in Claremont right.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Claremont
Our Claremont crews install and repair the full range of CertainTeed exterior systems. We work regularly with Landmark PRO architectural shingles, the heavier Presidential Shake and Presidential Solaris lines, and CertainTeed’s XT25 and DiamondDeck underlayments across the city’s 91711 zip code. We also handle Cedar Impressions and CertainTeed vinyl siding on Claremont ranch homes and later infill builds. When a job calls for CertainTeed-branded accessory components, starter strips, ridge vent, or their own underlayments, we match them because the system warranty geometry depends on that compatibility. Where aftermarket flashing, fasteners, or sealants actually outperform the branded part, we say so and use the better product. For fast Claremont turnaround, we keep common CertainTeed shingle colors and accessory stock staged locally, so a repair doesn’t wait on a two-week freight order.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Claremont
Pricing for CertainTeed roof work in Claremont tracks the scope of the job, the condition of what’s underneath the shingles, and whether the city’s review process adds a submittal step. Here are the ranges we typically quote:
| Service | Claremont Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 – $40,000 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600 – $2,500 |
What drives the cost most is what’s under the shingles. A Claremont roof where the sheathing is still sound and the underlayment is intact costs far less to replace than one where we find soft decking and rotted valleys. A free estimate from us includes a roof inspection, a written line-item quote, and an honest opinion on whether you need full replacement or a targeted repair. If you want an exact number for your house, call (833) 382-8544 and we’ll come look. Estimates are free, and there’s no pressure to sign anything on the spot.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Claremont
Yes, in many cases it does, especially if your home is near the Claremont Colleges or within the Village’s architectural review radius. The city reviews front-facing roof changes for compatibility with neighborhood character, and a color that’s off by one shade can get flagged. We pull CertainTeed samples and submit them before ordering material, which saves you from a torn-off roof that has to be redone. Call (833) 382-8544 and we’ll tell you whether your specific address is likely to trigger review.
In Claremont, that’s almost always UV and reflected heat. South- and west-facing planes bake all summer long, and if there’s a low-slope section or parapet wall nearby reflecting heat back, the granules shed faster there than on the shaded side. The shingle itself may still be watertight for now, but it’s a sign the roof’s service life is shortening unevenly. We can inspect it and tell you whether you need targeted repair or whether replacement is the smarter call, and we offer CertainTeed service in Upland as well.
Yes, we do this regularly across Claremont. Santa Ana gusts lift and crease shingle tabs at ridges and eaves, especially on older homes where the original install used too few fasteners. We’ll inspect for lifted tabs, creased shingles, and hidden underlayment damage, then do isolated repairs where the decking is still sound. If winds exposed failed underlayment, we’ll tell you honestly before recommending a full replacement. Call (833) 382-8544 after a wind event and we’ll get out to look.
No, we’re not. Gold Star Contractors is an independent general contractor that installs and repairs CertainTeed products. We’re not authorized, sponsored, or warranty-backed by CertainTeed, and we say so up front because you deserve to know who’s standing behind the work. What we bring is field experience with their real product lines on Claremont’s specific housing stock, plus honest advice about when CertainTeed accessories matter and when a better aftermarket part makes more sense.
Homes built in the 1950s and 1960s around Claremont often have thinner sheathing, skipped underlayment, and framing that’s settled unevenly over 60-plus years. Before we lay new CertainTeed shingles, we check what’s underneath. If the decking is soft or the underlayment failed, we re-sheathe and install new CertainTeed underlayment before shingles go on. Skipping that step is how you get a $20,000 roof that leaks in three years. Your quote will include whatever the house actually needs, not just the shingles.
