CertainTeed Roofing in Citrus, CA | Orange County Roofing Co
If you own a home in Citrus, you’re likely dealing with a roof that’s fighting inland heat every summer, and if it’s wearing CertainTeed shingles, you’ve got a product we know inside and out. We’re Orange County Roofing Co, an independent CertainTeed service provider serving all of Citrus, and we handle everything from a torn flashing to a full tear-off and replacement under current Title 24 cool-roof rules. The one thing that makes our CertainTeed work different here is simple: we know how these shingles age on mid-century tract homes in this specific foothill climate, and we quote against what the roof actually needs, not what’s easy to sell. Call (866) 942-4187 for a free estimate.
Why Citrus Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Kurt Hensley, our owner, got his start watching tile crews work the hillside homes above Orange before he ever picked up a nail gun, and he’s spent the better part of two decades on roofs across this region. That matters when you’re deciding between a repair and a replacement on a 1960s Citrus tract home. Our team carries seven major shingle brands, so we don’t have a reason to push CertainTeed when it isn’t the right call. But when it is the right call, we know exactly how Landmark and Presidential lines behave on low-slope patio additions and unshaded south-facing slopes. You get a straight answer, a written line-item quote, and a fix that matches the existing assembly. From a single damaged shingle to a full tear-off, one call covers it. Our CertainTeed sales & service work across the Citrus service area covers repair, replacement, and inspection.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Citrus
- Granule loss and surface cracking on south- and west-facing slopes. Citrus summers routinely pass 100°F, and the unshaded side of a mid-century tract roof takes the full brunt. We see CertainTeed architectural shingles lose their granule layer years before the rest of the roof fails, leaving bare asphalt to bake and crack.
- Failed sealant strips on Landmark and Presidential shingles. Inland heat can prevent sealant strips from ever fully bonding, especially on roofs installed during a hot stretch. Tabs left unsealed flutter in the Santa Ana winds, and once they lift, the next rain finds its way underneath.
- Baked-out underlayment beneath intact-looking field shingles. This is the one that catches homeowners off guard. The shingles look fine, but the underlayment underneath has cooked to the consistency of dried leaves. The first heavy rain after a dry summer leaks straight through. We see it most on older CertainTeed 3-tab lines nailed over skip sheathing.
- Rusted or split flashing at original 1960s roof-to-wall transitions. Off Citrus Avenue, where patio covers were nailed directly through the roofline, those old flashings have been flexing and rusting for fifty-plus years. That’s where water gets in, not in the middle of the shingle field.
- Ponding on low-slope sections with CertainTeed built-up or modified bitumen membranes. Many Citrus homes with later additions have flat or near-flat garage and patio sections. After a dry summer, the membrane’s already stressed from UV, and standing water finds every weakness.
CertainTeed Service in Citrus: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Citrus sits on the hot foothill side of the San Gabriel Valley, and the housing stock is predominantly 1950s-to-1970s single-story tract homes. Many still carry original wood-shake or built-up roofs, and the ones that got re-roofed in the 1980s and ’90s often received CertainTeed XT 25 or early Landmark lines. Here’s the pattern we see over and over: add-on patio covers off Citrus Avenue were commonly nailed straight through the existing roof, with original roof-to-wall flashings left untouched underneath. Then the first heavy rain after a dry summer shows up not as a failing shingle field, but as a ceiling stain tracing back to one of those penetrated junctions. On a 1960s single-story tract home near Citrus Avenue, a homeowner called after the season’s first real rain with exactly that. The leak tracked to a patio cover nailed through the original CertainTeed 3-tab roof and a rusted flashing—similar to what we see with CertainTeed service in Irwindale on comparable mid-century homes.of-to-wall flashing at the addition. We pulled the compromised courses, replaced the failed flashing and underlying sheathing, reset a matching run of CertainTeed architectural shingles over new underlayment, and re-detailed the patio transition so the fix held through the next storm. A roof shouldn’t be a mystery – let’s just look at what you’ve got and go from there.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Citrus
We work on the full range of CertainTeed products common to Citrus homes, including Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential Shake and Presidential TL, older XT 25 and other 3-tab lines still found on original tract roofs, and CertainTeed flat-roof membranes (built-up and modified bitumen) on low-slope garage and patio sections. Our approach on parts is straightforward: we match CertainTeed-branded shingles, underlayment, and accessory flashing to the existing assembly so the roof performs as a system. We substitute quality aftermarket components only where they meet or exceed the manufacturer’s spec. For faster Citrus turnaround, we keep common Landmark colors and flashing profiles stocked locally, so a repair doesn’t wait on a distributor order.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Citrus
In most cases, you need a full tear-off. The underlayment beneath those original shingles is almost certainly baked out from 50-plus years of Citrus heat, and re-roofing over dead underlayment means your new roof fails from the bottom up. We only recommend a re-roof overlay when the existing deck and underlayment are verified sound, which on original mid-century roofs is the exception, not the rule. Call (866) 942-4187 for an inspection and we’ll tell you exactly what you’re working with.
Because the leak isn’t in the shingle field. It’s almost always at a flashing junction that’s been flexing through the dry season, and the first real rain pushes water through the now-open seam. On Citrus tract homes, the usual suspects are original 1960s roof-to-wall flashings and patio covers nailed directly through the roofline, especially off Citrus Avenue. We fix the penetration, not the symptom. Call (866) 942-4187 for an inspection, and we’ll trace the leak to its actual source.
Yes. Citrus sits on the hot foothill side of the valley, where summer temperatures run higher and UV exposure is more intense than on the floor just a few miles west. South- and west-facing CertainTeed architectural shingles lose granules faster here, and sealant strips fail to bond more often when installation happens during a heat wave. The product isn’t the problem; the conditions are just harder on it, which means correct installation and underlayment matter more, not less.
Usually it can be repaired. We see this all over Citrus, and the fix is to pull the compromised shingles around the penetration, replace the failed flashing and any damaged sheathing, reset a matching run of CertainTeed shingles over new underlayment, and re-detail the transition properly. A full re-roof is only the right call if the underlayment across the rest of the roof has also cooked out. Call (866) 942-4187 for an inspection, and we’ll tell you whether you’re looking at a repair or a replacement.
