Owens Corning Construction in San Dimas, CA | Rowan Construction Group Pomona
Rowan Construction Group Pomona provides independent Owens Corning roofing and construction service across San Dimas, with pricing written before work starts and a documented photo record on every visit.

Call (626) 606-1081 to schedule your free estimate.
Why San Dimas Residents Choose Us for Owens Corning Service
We’ve installed Owens Corning Duration and Oakridge shingles across the San Gabriel Valley since 2007, and we know how their seal strips and granule surfaces hold up when the Santa Ana winds come tearing through San Dimas Canyon. Grant Rowan trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before building a crew that now handles everything from ranch-style re-roofs in central San Dimas to hillside assemblies above San Dimas Canyon Road where fire code adds a whole extra layer of specification.
We are not an Owens Corning authorized dealer. We’re an independent contractor that sources genuine Owens Corning shingles, WeatherLock membranes, and ProArmor underlayment because they perform predictably under the conditions we actually see here - not because a manufacturer program tells us to. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, your price is written before anyone touches a ladder. Under the 365-Day Done Right Promise, if it’s not done right, we make it right. Measure twice, then we can talk.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed; a live person answers calls 24/7. Every San Dimas visit includes a documented photo record as standard, not an upgrade. Bring a competitor’s written estimate and we’ll review it line by line at no charge - that’s the Free Second Opinion, and it’s printed on every page.
Common Owens Corning Construction Problems We Solve in San Dimas

- Granule loss and seal-strip cracking on canyon-facing slopes. Oakridge and Duration shingles on south- and west-facing roofs in the San Dimas Canyon wind corridor take repeated Santa Ana battering. The granules erode faster than on flat-land roofs in Pomona, and the thermal cycling from those accelerated winds opens hairline cracks in the seal strip that flat-valley roofs simply don’t experience.
- WeatherLock membrane edges lifting on re-roofs. When the previous underlayment isn’t fully stripped and the deck isn’t re-nailed to current code, Owens Corning’s self-adhered ice-and-water barrier can’t bond properly. We’ve seen this on older San Dimas tract homes where a crew tried to save time by roofing over old felt.
- Shingle tab fracture from foothills debris. Wind-driven material from the San Gabriel foothills fractures Duration shingle tabs at the exposure line, usually starting at ridge caps and hips where the factory seal is weakest. These hits are more common above 1,000 feet in northern San Dimas than anywhere in La Verne.
- Ember intrusion through improperly flashed ridge systems. On hillside homes in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, standard Owens Corning ridge vents without ember-resistant screening allow hot embers into the attic during Santa Ana events. This is a Chapter 7A compliance failure, not just a durability issue.
- Foundation and drainage complications on hillside parcels. Northern San Dimas properties near San Dimas Canyon Road routinely need a licensed geotechnical engineer’s soils report before LA County approves grading or foundation work. Contractors used to flat valley floors often miss this step, killing permit timelines on what looked like straightforward remodels.

AfterOwens Corning Service in San Dimas: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
San Dimas sits where the San Gabriel Mountains meet the valley floor, and that geography creates construction conditions you won’t find in neighboring cities. In northern San Dimas above San Dimas Canyon Road, Owens Corning roofing must be installed as a Class A fire-rated assembly with ember-resistant vents and fire-rated underlayment to satisfy LA County’s Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone requirements - a layer of code that simply doesn’t apply to flat-land Owens Corning roofs in La Verne or Pomona. The same Santa Ana winds that make this area desirable for views also accelerate granule loss on standard architectural shingles and test the bond of every self-adhered membrane. Winter frost at higher elevations, rare in flat San Gabriel Valley cities, can delay concrete pours and affect exterior finish adhesion on additions and ADUs. We re-roofed a 1970s ranch house off San Dimas Canyon Road where the original Owens Corning Oakridge shingles had lost most of their granules on the canyon-facing slope and the ridge vent was pulling embers into the attic during Santa Ana winds. Because the home sits in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, we stripped to the deck, re-nailed to current code, installed Owens Corning Duration shingles over WeatherLock ice-and-water membrane, and swapped in an ember-resistant ridge vent. The owner passed the county fire inspection on the first walk-through and got a Class A assembly that holds up to the canyon wind.
Owens Corning Models & Products We Service in San Dimas

We work with the full Owens Corning residential roofing system, not just the shingles that show from the street. Our Owens Corning sales & service covers Duration shingles (including Duration Premium and Duration Designer color lines), Oakridge architectural asphalt shingles, and the underlayment and accessory components that make the system warrantable: ProArmor and RhinoRoof synthetic underlayment, WeatherLock self-adhered ice-and-water barrier, and hip-and-ridge caps matched to the field shingle. For San Dimas homes in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, we specify ember-resistant ridge vents and Class A rated assemblies that satisfy Chapter 7A. We stock genuine Owens Corning material locally for faster turnaround on San Dimas repairs, and we are upfront when a repair can be done with matching material versus when a partial replacement will void the system warranty. We’ll always tell you if a $400 repair is honest or if a full re-roof is the only durable answer - especially on hillside homes where wind and fire code leave no middle ground.

FAQs - Owens Corning Construction in San Dimas
No. Homes in LA County’s Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone require a Class A fire-rated assembly, which means ember-resistant vents, fire-rated underlayment, and specific installation details beyond standard Owens Corning shingle specs. We specify Duration shingles with WeatherLock membrane and ember-resistant ridge hardware for these San Dimas properties. Call (626) 606-1081 to schedule a free estimate and we’ll walk through the exact code requirements for your address.
The San Dimas Canyon corridor accelerates Santa Ana winds, which scrub granules and thermally stress seal strips more aggressively than flat-land exposure. South- and west-facing slopes above the canyon see this first. The same Duration shingle installed in central Pomona can outlast an identical installation on a canyon-facing San Dimas roof by several years. Call (626) 606-1081 and we’ll assess whether your slope orientation and wind exposure warrant upgraded specifications.
Sometimes, but only with genuine Owens Corning shingles and accessory components matched to the existing system. We stock OEM material for this reason. If the damage is isolated and the original installation was code-compliant, a repair can preserve warranty coverage. If the deck is compromised or the fire assembly is incomplete on a hillside home, partial repairs often void the system warranty and we will tell you so in writing before proposing any work.
We use WeatherLock self-adhered ice-and-water barrier at eaves, valleys, and penetrations, with ProArmor or RhinoRoof synthetic underlayment across the field. In San Dimas, this matters because Santa Ana wind-driven rain can force water uphill, and the old felt underlayment on 1960s-1980s tract homes wasn’t designed for it. For Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone properties, the underlayment must also carry a fire rating that standard felts lack.
Not for the roof itself, but if your project includes any grading, foundation work, or structural modification - common on hillside additions and ADUs - LA County requires a licensed geotechnical engineer’s soils report before issuing permits. We’ve seen contractors miss this on northern San Dimas parcels and stall projects for weeks. We flag it during our initial site review so you’re not surprised at the permit counter. Call (626) 606-1081 for a free estimate that includes permit requirements specific to your property.
