CertainTeed has been a staple brand in Southern California construction for decades, and we’ve worked with their products long enough to know which lines hold up in Pomona’s inland heat and which ones need extra attention. The city sits in a thermal pocket where summer temperatures push past 105°F, and that stress shows up differently on a roof than it does in coastal LA or Orange County. We’ve replaced cracked Presidential Shake shingles on west-facing slopes in the Lincoln Park area, repaired wind-lifted Landmark tabs after Santa Ana events near the Fairplex corridor, and fixed moisture-damaged AirRenew board in historic bathroom renovations downtown. We’re not affiliated with CertainTeed and don’t speak for them. We work for you, with documentation to show what we found and what we did about it.

Why Trust Rowan Construction Group Pomona for Your CertainTeed Construction?

Grant Rowan trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before founding this company in 2007, and the crew he’s built since then has handled CertainTeed products across more than 4,000 projects. We know the difference between a Presidential Shake TL shingle that failed from thermal oxidation and one that was simply nailed off-pattern. We can spot the blocked soffit vents that cook Landmark shingles from underneath, and we document both the problem and the fix with a photo record you keep.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they arrive with CertainTeed-compatible materials already on the truck for common repairs. We stock genuine CertainTeed ridge caps, SureStart Plus underlayment, and color-matched Presidential Shake and Landmark shingles for the most common Pomona roof profiles. When a full replacement makes more sense than a patch, we tell you directly and put the number in writing before anyone touches a tool. That’s Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, and it’s how we’ve kept projects within a few percent of the agreed price since 2007.

We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate you’ve received from another contractor. Bring their line-item quote and we’ll review it with you, no charge. Measure twice, then we can talk.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Fix in Pomona

• Presidential Shake thermal crazing on south- and west-facing slopes. The polymer-modified surface of Presidential Shake TL shingles oxidizes faster in Pomona’s 100°F-plus summer heat and intense inland UV. We’ve found this on homes near the historic core where original roof orientations maximize afternoon sun exposure. The cracking starts as hairline surface crazing, then deepens until water can penetrate. We replace the affected field with current-production Presidential Shake, matched to existing color, and often add ridge ventilation to reduce the attic temperatures that accelerate the damage from below.
• Landmark granule loss and blistering at the eave line. Landmark series shingles lose protective granules and blister where attic intake ventilation is choked. This is common in Pomona’s 1940s-1960s ranch homes, where original soffit vents are blocked by decades of paint, insulation, or rodent screening. The shingles overheat from below, the asphalt softens, and foot traffic or wind finish the job. We clear or replace soffit intake, then repair or replace the damaged courses.
• Seal-strip failure and wind uplift during Santa Ana events. CertainTeed’s self-sealing adhesive strips can fail to bond properly if installed in cold weather or if the nailing pattern drifts high on the shingle. When Santa Ana winds hit Pomona, typically fall through spring, the unsealed tabs lift at rake edges and ridges. We’ve repaired partial uplifts with OEM shingles and proper six-nail high-wind patterns, and we’ve replaced entire slopes where the failure was systemic.
• AirRenew gypsum edge-wicking behind bathroom tile. CertainTeed’s AirRenew board is designed to absorb formaldehyde and other VOCs, but the factory edge seal is critical. When installers cut the board on-site and don’t seal the exposed gypsum core, moisture wicks into the cut edges in Pomona bathrooms and laundry rooms. The board softens and crumbles behind the tile membrane. We remove the affected sections, install new AirRenew with proper edge treatment, and verify the vapor barrier continuity.
• Low-slope membrane degradation on additions and ADUs. CertainTeed’s Flintlastic and other modified bitumen membranes used on low-slope portions of Pomona home additions break down faster under the city’s extreme thermal cycling. The 105°F summer peak and occasional hard winter freeze create expansion-contraction stress that contractors from milder climates often underestimate. We inspect seam integrity, replace failed sections with heat-welded or torch-applied membrane, and detail the transitions to sloped roofing correctly.

CertainTeed Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach

For CertainTeed roofing, we use genuine CertainTeed shingles, SureStart Plus underlayment, and matching ridge and hip accessories. The color match and warranty documentation depend on it. Generic equivalents might save a few dollars per square, but the visual mismatch at the repair boundary and the lack of traceable lot numbers aren’t worth it.

In most cases, a localized repair with OEM components beats a full tear-off. A single wind-lifted slope, a thermal-crazed west face, or a valley leak from improper flashing - these are fixable. But when we find widespread thermal cracking across multiple exposures, or seal-strip failure exceeding roughly 30 percent of the field, replacement is the honest call. We don’t profit from selling you more roof than you need. Under The Haven Standard, the scope and price are written before work starts, and no change proceeds without a signed change order.

We stock the most common CertainTeed colors and accessories locally for fast turnaround on Pomona repairs. Call (626) 606-1081 for an exact quote - estimates are free.

Our CertainTeed Service Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Diagnosis with documentation. We inspect the CertainTeed system - shingles, underlayment, ventilation, flashing, or interior gypsum - and photograph every condition we find. You receive the photo record as standard, not as an upgrade. For roofing, we note shingle series, age, exposure orientation, and ventilation adequacy.
2. 2
   Written scope and flat price. We deliver a line-item quote with the repair or replacement detailed in plain language. The price is fixed. No “call for a quote” - the number is on the page, in writing, before anyone picks up a tool.
3. 3
   OEM-compatible repair or install. We use CertainTeed-specified materials and installation methods: six-nail patterns in wind zones, proper starter strip placement, SureStart Plus underlayment where the existing roof had it or where the slope demands it, and factory-sealed AirRenew edges on interior work.
4. 4
   Testing and verification. For roofing, we water-test valleys and penetrations. For interior work, we verify vapor barrier continuity and moisture meter readings before close-in. The crew lead signs off on a checklist.
5. 5
   Warranty documentation and photo record. You receive a written warranty, the completed photo record, and, for full replacements, the CertainTeed warranty registration information. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to all work: if it’s not done right, we make it right.
