CertainTeed Roofing in Highland, CA | Orange County Roofing Co
We service, repair, and replace CertainTeed roofing systems throughout Highland, CA. We’re an independent contractor, not a factory-authorized dealer, which means our recommendations come from years of watching how CertainTeed shingles and tile actually perform on Highland hillside homes. The biggest difference maker here? The Cajon Pass wind funnel. It changes how we scope repairs on nearly every CertainTeed roof in 92346. Call (866) 942-4187 for a free estimate.
Why Highland Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We carry seven major roofing brands, including CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That breadth matters when you’re deciding whether a CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingle or a different material altogether makes sense for your Highland home. We don’t have a factory incentive pushing one brand over another. We install them all, so we can recommend honestly. Kurt Hensley, our owner, spent the better part of two decades working roofs across Southern California before launching Orange County Roofing Co, and he grew up watching crews work hillside homes in the Orange area. That’s where the trade got into his blood. Whether you need a blown ridge cap replaced after a Santa Ana event or a full CertainTeed in San Bernardino tear-off on a 1980s tract home, our recommendation is based on what your roof needs, not on a manufacturer’s warranty program.
We’re fully licensed and insured, and our inspection is a standalone service. You don’t have to commit to a replacement to have us look at your CertainTeed roof. We’ll tell you what’s failing, what’s still sound, and what a targeted repair would cost versus a full re-roof. For a deeper look at our brand approach, see our CertainTeed sales & service page.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Highland
- Wind uplift on windward slopes facing the Cajon Pass. Ridge caps, starter courses, and gable-end shingles let go first after a Santa Ana wind event, often while the field shingles below still look intact. We re-secure or replace those sections with genuine CertainTeed products and upgraded wind fastening.
- Granule loss and sun-baked brittleness on south- and west-facing planes. Highland’s summer highs routinely top 100°F. Years of intense UV cook the asphalt, thin out the shingle mat, and leave it vulnerable to wind tear-off. By the time a shingle looks glossy or bare, it’s lost its protective granule layer.
- Sealant-strip failure from Highland’s heat. CertainTeed shingles that never fully adhered during installation can develop tab flutter and creasing long before the shingle itself wears out. We see this regularly on 1980s tract homes where the original sealant cooked hard and lost its bond.
- Heat-cooked underlayment beneath intact-looking tile. On newer foothill custom homes, the concrete tile looks fine from the street, but the underlayment underneath has baked and cracked. Leaks show up as ceiling stains, not broken tile. That’s the first thing we check on tile roofs in Highland’s higher elevations.
- Slope-by-slope windward damage. Highland’s hillside streets climb toward the foothill canyons, so many roofs have one exposure plane facing the Pass and another sheltered by the slope. After a wind event, the windward slope is stripped while the leeward planes are untouched. We scope repairs at the slope level, not the whole-house level.
CertainTeed Service in Highland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something a generic roofing page won’t tell you. Highland sits at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains where the Santa Ana winds funnel through the Cajon Pass and slam into the east-facing slopes of the foothills, making CertainTeed in Redlands a relevant comparison for wind exposure. The neighborhoods closest to the Pass and the foothill canyons get hit hardest, and the damage pattern is extremely consistent: missing or lifted shingles are almost always on the windward slope, frequently accompanied by heavy granule loss on the sun-baked south-facing plane. What does this mean for a CertainTeed roof specifically? A technician walking your Highland hillside property after a wind event is essentially reading two different roofs on the same house. One slope needs real repair work. The other doesn’t. That’s why we never default to a whole-house replacement quote in 92346. We look at each exposure plane independently, because in Highland, the wind doesn’t treat them equally.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Highland
We work on the full range of CertainTeed roof assemblies you’ll find across Highland’s housing stock. The dominant replacement shingle on mid-century and 1980s-90s tract homes is CertainTeed Landmark architectural. On older postwar tracts, we still see CertainTeed XT 25 and XT 30 three-tab shingles holding their original or first-replacement position. Custom homes on larger lots often carry CertainTeed Presidential Shake or Presidential TL luxury shingles, where owners want a heavier, higher-wind-rated profile. And on newer foothill builds with concrete tile, we service CertainTeed tile accessories and underlayment systems. We use genuine CertainTeed shingles, ridge, and starter products so the manufacturer’s wind and fire ratings stay meaningful, the same standard we apply to CertainTeed service in Loma Linda. When only part of a roof is damaged, we tell owners honestly whether a targeted repair will hold or whether the age pattern makes a full tear-off the only sensible path.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Highland
CertainTeed roofing work in Highland falls into a few clear cost tiers based on the scope of damage and the condition of the existing decking. A minor wind repair on a single slope, like replaced shingles and a re-secured ridge cap, lands somewhere around $600 to $1,200 depending on the size of the damaged area. A partial slope replacement that includes new underlayment and CertainTeed architectural shingles typically runs $3,000 to $6,500, with slope size being the biggest variable. A full CertainTeed roof replacement on a typical Highland tract home, including tear-off, new decking where needed, and Landmark architectural shingles, usually spans $12,000 to $22,000. Custom homes with Presidential Shake or tile assemblies run higher, often $25,000 to $40,000 plus. The big factors in Highland: slope pitch, how many planes face the Pass, whether the decking has water damage from past sealant failures, and whether we’re matching existing shingle color or starting fresh. Every free estimate includes a written line-item quote with no change orders down the line. Call (866) 942-4187 to schedule yours.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Highland
Does a CertainTeed shingle roof in Highland need a special wind rating because of the Cajon Pass?
Yes, and we treat wind-rated assembly as standard practice in Highland, not an optional upgrade. The Santa Ana winds that funnel through the Cajon Pass routinely gust well over 60 mph, and the damage we see after a wind event is concentrated on the windward slope facing the Pass. We recommend CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles with upgraded wind fastening for homes in the exposed foothill and Pass-adjacent neighborhoods. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll assess your roof’s specific exposure before quoting anything.
My CertainTeed tile roof in a foothill custom home looks fine but the ceiling is staining – what’s going on?
That’s almost always heat-cooked underlayment. Highland’s intense sun bakes the underlayment beneath the tile until it cracks, while the tile itself still looks intact from the ground. Water gets past the failed underlayment and travels to a seam in the decking, showing up as a ceiling stain far from the actual breach. We remove the tile in the affected area, replace the underlayment, and reset the original tile. Call (866) 942-4187 for an inspection – we’ll trace the leak to its source.
After a Santa Ana wind event, do you replace the whole roof or just the damaged slope?
We scope it slope by slope. In Highland, the windward side facing the Cajon Pass takes the damage while the sheltered leeward planes often stay completely intact. If the undamaged slopes still have years of life and the shingle color matches, a targeted replacement is the honest answer. We’ll tell you if the age pattern on the whole roof makes a full tear-off the smarter long-term move. Call (866) 942-4187 for a free estimate either way.
Can you match my existing CertainTeed shingle when only part of the roof is replaced?
Yes, in most cases. We work with the full CertainTeed color line and can order a match to your existing Landmark or Presidential shingle color. Discontinued colors sometimes take longer to source, and we’ll tell you upfront if a perfect match isn’t available and what the closest alternative looks like. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll pull samples to compare against your roof.
Does Highland’s fire-prone interface mean my CertainTeed roof has to be a Class A assembly?
Highland sits against the wildland-urban interface, and fire-rated roofing is a genuine local concern, not just a code checkbox. CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles carry a Class A fire rating when installed as part of the rated assembly, which includes the right underlayment and accessories. We install those components consistently on every Highland replacement. Call (866) 942-4187 to confirm your current roof’s fire rating and discuss what the assembly requires.
