CertainTeed Roofing in Fullerton, CA | Orange County Roofing Co
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Fullerton – shingle replacement, full tear-offs, and flashing repair on Landmark, Presidential Shake, and NorthGate systems. What makes our CertainTeed work here different is the terrain: Fullerton’s flat downtown grid and the steep, eucalyptus-lined hillside tracts above Bastanchury fail in completely different ways, and we plan every repair around which of those two Fullertons you live in. Call (866) 942-4187 for a free estimate.
Why Fullerton Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Kurt Hensley, our owner, grew up in the Serrano Heights area of Orange and has spent the better part of two decades working roofs across the county before launching Orange County Roofing Co. He’ll tell you the same thing on a job site that he tells his kids at the farmers market on Chapman Avenue: a roof shouldn’t be a mystery – let’s just look at what you’ve got and go from there.
We’re not a CertainTeed-authorized installer, and we don’t pretend to be. What we are is a roofing contractor that tears off and rebuilds enough CertainTeed systems across Fullerton’s mix of 1910s bungalows, mid-century ranchers, and hillside split-levels to know exactly how their shingle lines and underlayments age in this specific climate. Every job starts with reading the CertainTeed installation spec, then documenting deck condition, ventilation, and flashing details before we touch a nail. We also carry CertainTeed sales & service expertise that spans the full product line – so you get honest repair-versus-replace guidance, not a sales pitch for a full roof when four shingles and a flashing rebuild would do.
One call covers everything from a single damaged shingle to a complete tear-off and replacement. And because we install seven major brands – GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, Boral – we can recommend the right material for your Fullerton home without a brand agenda, whether you need CertainTeed in Placentia or anywhere nearby.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Fullerton
- Granule loss and thermal cracking on south- and west-facing slopes. Fullerton’s semi-arid climate means 90+ degree summer days and intense UV hit the same faces year after year. Landmark and Presidential shingles on those exposures shed granules and develop hairline cracks well before the nominal warranty term. We see it on hillside homes above Bastanchury and on flatland ranchers alike.
- Wind-lifted and creased shingle tabs along rakes and eaves. Santa Ana gusts push 50-70+ mph through the hills and canyons. Where edge metal or nailing was marginal on the original install, those gusts lift shingle tabs, crease them, and tear starter courses. It’s a pattern we see concentrated in Fullerton’s hillside tracts, especially around Sunny Hills.
- Leaks at dormers and chimneys during the first winter rains. Sealant and counterflashing deteriorate quietly through the dry months, then the first modest storm finds the gap. Older downtown bungalows with original skip sheathing beneath make these leaks harder to trace – water travels along the sheathing before it shows on the ceiling.
- Failed tile underlayment on CertainTeed tile systems. Aged felt and poorly detailed eave and valley laps crack, pond, and let water reach dry-rotted fascia and original wood sheathing. This is routine in Fullerton’s 1910s-1940s core, where homes still carry their original framing under newer roofing.
- Debris-clogged valleys and gutters causing standing water. Mature eucalyptus and pepper trees drop limbs and leaves that pack valleys and hold water against flashing. In the hillside tracts, this combines with wind-driven limb strikes to create failures that flatland Fullerton homes simply don’t experience the same way.
CertainTeed Service in Fullerton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Fullerton’s roofing reality is a tale of two cities, and they fail differently. Downtown and the older core – the 92832 and 92833 ZIPs – hold 1910s-1940s Craftsman and Spanish Colonial bungalows with original wood sheathing, low-pitch or gabled roofs, and decades of patched flashing. Skip sheathing is common, which means we’re often rebuilding flashing details and replacing dry-rotted fascia alongside shingle work. Six or seven miles north, Sunny Hills and the hillside tracts above Bastanchury hold 1950s-70s ranch and split-level homes on steep lots with concrete clay tile, wood-shake in places, and mature eucalyptus canopy overhanging every roof plane.
For CertainTeed owners specifically, that split matters. A Landmark roof on a downtown bungalow is fighting heat cycling, aged flashings, and original framing movement. The same Landmark roof on a Sunny Hills hillside is fighting Santa Ana gusts that lift shingle tabs, and a eucalyptus canopy that drops limbs and packs valleys with debris. The failure mode in the hills looks like wind damage. The failure mode downtown looks like a slow leak that only shows up during winter rains. A generic CertainTeed page won’t tell you that. We will, because we’re on both types of roofs every month.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Fullerton
We service the full CertainTeed residential line: Landmark architectural asphalt shingles, Presidential Shake and Presidential T/L architectural shingles, and NorthGate and XT25 asphalt shingles. We also handle CertainTeed tile underlayment systems and accessory flashing – SwiftStart starter and roofRunner underlayment included.
On repairs, we match CertainTeed shingles to the same product line and color whenever the roof is repairable. For accessories where the OEM isn’t required, we’ll use quality aftermarket underlayment, starter, or flashing – and we’ll explain exactly what that trade-off means for your warranty and your roof. On roofs past 15-20 years with granule loss or multiple leak points, we’ll tell you straight when a full CertainTeed replacement makes more sense than chasing isolated patches. That’s the honest recommendation, not the one that pads our margin.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Fullerton
A Landmark roof on a hillside home above Bastanchury or in Sunny Hills takes a different beating than one on a downtown bungalow. The hillside version gets Santa Ana gusts that lift shingle tabs and a eucalyptus canopy that drops limbs and packs valleys with debris. The downtown version gets intense heat cycling, aged flashings, and original framing movement. Same shingle, different failure modes. The repair plan should differ too. Call (866) 942-4187 for an exact assessment of your roof.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common things we deal with in Fullerton’s 92832 and 92833 core. Original wood sheathing on 1910s-1940s homes is often skip-sheathed, meaning the boards have gaps between them. Current CertainTeed installation specs call for solid decking in most cases, so a full replacement typically means either re-sheathing or overlaying the deck before the new shingles go down. We’ll document what’s under the old roof and include any deck work in the line-item quote.
Because the leak is almost always at a flashing point – chimney, dormer, wall-to-roof, or valley – where the sealant and counterflashing have quietly deteriorated through Fullerton’s long dry season. The first modest winter storm finds the gap. Older downtown bungalows with skip sheathing make the leak travel along the deck before it shows on the ceiling, which is why the wet spot isn’t always directly under the problem. We trace the leak back to the source, not just the stain. Call (866) 942-4187 to schedule a leak inspection.
Most of the time, yes. We match CertainTeed shingles to the same product line and color whenever a repair is feasible, so the patch blends instead of announcing itself from the street. If your shingle color has been discontinued or the roof is past 15-20 years with granule loss, we’ll tell you straight whether a full replacement makes more sense. Estimates are free – call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll take a look.
We do. Fullerton’s hillside tracts have a lot of concrete clay tile, often over CertainTeed tile underlayment systems. The underlayment is where tile roofs fail – aged felt and poorly detailed eave and valley laps crack and pond, letting water reach the dry-rotted fascia and original sheathing beneath. We repair and replace those underlayment systems, and we handle shingle-to-tile transitions on additions and mixed-roof homes. One call covers all of it: (866) 942-4187.
