CertainTeed Roofing in Claremont, CA | Orange County Roofing Co
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Claremont, CA, from targeted valley repairs to full tear-offs. The one thing that makes our CertainTeed work here different is simple: we know exactly what Claremont’s sycamore and oak canopy does to these shingle systems over time, because we’ve repaired and replaced them on the streets around the Claremont Colleges and Village for years. That local knowledge shapes every repair call we take and every replacement we recommend. Call (866) 942-4187 for a free estimate on your CertainTeed roof.
Why Claremont Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed is one of the seven major shingle brands we carry at Orange County Roofing Co. We are not limited to one manufacturer’s lineup, which means when you ask about a CertainTeed roof, the conversation we have is about what’s actually right for your Claremont home, not about moving inventory. We work the full CertainTeed family: Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential luxury shake, XT 25 three-tab on older tract homes, and Flintlastic low-slope systems. So when a homeowner near the Village asks whether a Presidential repair makes sense on a 1940s bungalow, our answer comes from having done that work, not from a brand brochure.
Kurt Hensley, our owner, got his start watching crews work tile and shingle roofs on Orange hillsides before he ever picked up a nail gun. He’s spent nearly two decades on roofs across the region, and he brings that same level of straight assessment to every Claremont inspection we do. If a CertainTeed roof has another eight years left in it, we’ll tell you. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you that too.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Claremont
- Heat-baked granule loss on Landmark shingles. South-side mid-century tract homes in Claremont take the brunt of inland summer sun, and Landmark shingles that have crossed the 20-year mark often show heavy granule shedding and thermal cracking. The shingles don’t just look worn; they lose the UV protection the granules provide, which accelerates the aging process. We replace those courses before water gets through.
- Presidential shingles hiding dead underlayment. Older Village-area homes with heavy Presidential Shake or Presidential TL often have shingles that look fine from the ground while the felt beneath them has gone brittle. The weight of the luxury shingle keeps everything pressed tight, so failures are invisible until a leak opens up. We pull back enough area to check the underlayment condition and replace it when it’s shot.
- Clogged valleys holding water from sycamore leaves and acorns. This is the big one in Claremont. Streets lined with mature sycamores and oaks, especially near the Colleges, dump leaves and acorns into valleys every fall. When winter rain arrives, the water pools against creased shingle tabs, and the leak that shows up in the living room ceiling in January started accumulating in October. We clear the valley, replace what’s failed, and often add gutter guards so the next fall doesn’t repeat it.
- Wind-lifted or creased Landmark tabs along debris-packed valleys. When valleys hold debris, water tracks under field shingles and lifts them at the edges. We see creased and wind-flapped tabs on Otherwise-sound Landmark roofs throughout Claremont’s 91711 zip code, and the failure point is almost always at a valley, not in the open field. Targeted valley repair fixes it before the underlayment wicks water into the deck.
- Flintlastic and flat-roof seam blow-throughs. Low-slope CertainTeed membranes on Claremont additions and carports pond water when drains clog with autumn debris. Seams blow at the edges, and then water wicks straight into the deck. We re-seal or replace Flintlastic seams and correct the drainage path so the problem doesn’t come back next season.
CertainTeed Service in Claremont: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something you won’t find on a generic CertainTeed page: the mature sycamores and oaks that define the streets around the Claremont Colleges and the Village drop acorns and leaves every fall that pack CertainTeed valleys and low-slope drains. The leak we get called for in January almost always traces to debris clogging that started in October, not to the shingle itself. That’s a real pattern we’ve observed on dozens of Claremont roofs. A homeowner on College Avenue or Seventh Street will call about a ceiling stain after the first heavy rain, and when we get up there, the valley is packed with wet leaf matter holding water against the shingle course. In neighboring cities without the same canopy density, that same CertainTeed roof would drain clean. In Claremont, it doesn’t. Which is why we recommend seasonal valley and gutter clearing to every CertainTeed homeowner here, and why our repair process always includes checking drainage before we look for a “roof problem.”
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Claremont
We work on the entire CertainTeed lineup that appears on Claremont roofs. Landmark architectural shingles are the most common, especially on mid-century tracts south of Foothill Boulevard. Presidential Shake and Presidential TL show up on the larger custom and historic-leaning homes near the Colleges. XT 25 three-tab shingles remain on original 1970s and 1980s roofs that are now hitting end-of-life. Flintlastic and flat-roof membranes cover low-slope sections, porches, and carports. For repair work, we use CertainTeed-branded shingles, underlayments, and accessories so the roof system stays consistent, and we’ll use quality aftermarket flashing and boots where they actually outperform. We keep common CertainTeed shingle colors and accessory stock on hand for faster turnaround in Claremont and the surrounding Pomona Valley. If you’re weighing CertainTeed against another brand, our CertainTeed sales & service page walks through how the line compares across the seven major manufacturers we carry.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Claremont
What you’ll pay depends on the scope, not on a vague “roof repair” line item. A targeted valley clearing and shingle replacement on a Claremont home typically runs $400 to $900, depending on how much underlayment has to come up with it. Full tear-off and replacement with CertainTeed Landmark shingles generally lands between $9,500 and $16,000 for a standard ranch or bungalow, with premium Presidential lines running higher. A standalone roof inspection, which we offer without any requirement to schedule replacement, runs $150 to $300 and includes photos of findings. Every free estimate we write is itemized, so you see the line items before work begins.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Claremont
Because Claremont’s sycamores and oaks pack valleys and drains with leaves and acorns every fall, and the first heavy winter rain sends water pooling against the shingle courses instead of draining off. The leak was there in October in slow motion; January just made it visible. We clear the valley, replace any shingles and underlayment that failed, and often add gutter guards so the next fall doesn’t repeat the cycle. Call (866) 942-4187 for an exact assessment.
Yes, in many cases. Presidential shingles are heavy and often look intact while the underlayment beneath them has gone brittle, so the repair requires pulling back enough area to check the felt and replace it where it’s failed. As long as the shingles themselves have life left, a targeted repair works. On a 20-year-old Presidential roof with failing everywhere, we’ll tell you replacement is the smarter call. The estimate is free either way.
If your XT 25 is original to a Claremont tract built in the 1970s or 1980s, it’s past its service window, period. Landmark roofs on south-side homes that have baked under 20-plus years of inland sun often show granule loss, curling tabs, and thermal cracking, which means the waterproofing layer is compromised even where shingles haven’t lifted. We offer standalone inspections if you want to know exactly where your roof stands before committing to a repair or replacement.
Yes. Flintlastic and CertainTeed flat-roof membranes are part of our standard lineup, and we handle both new installs and seam repairs on existing low-slope sections. On Claremont homes where sycamore debris clogs low-slope drains, we correct the drainage path during the repair, which is the only way to keep the seams from blowing again next season.
No. We are an independent roofing contractor that installs and services CertainTeed products alongside six other major brands: GAF, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That independence is part of the point. We recommend the CertainTeed line when it’s the right product for your Claremont roof, not because we’re bound to a manufacturer program. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll give you our honest read.
