We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across March Air Force Base, from shingle repair to full tear-offs, and the one thing that makes our CertainTeed work here different is the skip-sheathing problem. It’s everywhere in the 92551 ZIP code, and it changes how every CertainTeed roof gets installed or repaired. Orange County Roofing Co has been working these roofs since the 1950s-1970s housing stock started showing its age. Call (866) 942-4187 for a free estimate on your CertainTeed roof in March Air Force Base.
Why March Air Force Base Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Kurt Hensley, our owner at Orange County Roofing Co, grew up watching tile crews work hillside roofs in Orange, then spent the better part of two decades on roofs across this region before launching his own operation. That background matters when you’re dealing with CertainTeed shingles on a 1960s military family housing unit in March Air Force Base, because the roof deck underneath is rarely simple. We’ve learned to check for skip-sheathing before quoting any CertainTeed repair here, and we match existing shingle lines where possible so your roof doesn’t end up two-tone. We carry seven major brands, CertainTeed among them, so when we recommend a CertainTeed product it’s because the roof calls for it, not because we’re locked into one supplier.
Our repair crews know CertainTeed’s sealant strips and nailing zones well enough to tell you when a repair will hold and when it won’t. And if you’re in active-duty housing on base, we’ll walk you through what your housing office needs to see before work starts.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in March Air Force Base
- West-slope sealant failure on Landmark shingles. On homes along the base perimeter, Santa Ana winds regularly peel back shingles on west-facing slopes. The Landmark line’s sealant strips lose grip after repeated 60 mph gusts, and tabs lift from the eave up. We re-set, re-nail, or replace the affected field depending on how far the damage runs.
- Thermal cracking on XT 25 three-tab courses. The 1960s military housing in March Air Force Base still carries a lot of aging XT 25 three-tab shingles. Decades of semi-arid sun bake those tabs until they curl and crack, and the original underlayment beneath is often minimal or gone. We see this constantly on the older units inside the 92551 perimeter.
- Fastener misses over skip-sheathing. A CertainTeed shingle field over skip-sheathing means nails often hit empty gaps between boards. After a wind event, uplifted sections can’t simply be re-nailed because there’s nothing behind them. Decking repair comes first, then shingles.
- Dried-out Flintlastic and felt underlayment at valleys. On low-pitch tract roofs in the 92551 area, old Flintlastic and felt underlayments dry out and tear at valleys and pipe penetrations. The leak reads as a shingle failure, but the real problem is underneath.
- West-facing Presidential Shake wind lift. On larger March Air Force Base homes with Presidential Shake luxury shingles, the heavier profile doesn’t make them immune. Improper nailing or worn adhesive strips let wind get under the shake tabs on exposed slopes.
CertainTeed Service in March Air Force Base: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the fact that shapes most of our CertainTeed work in March Air Force Base: original 1960s military family housing inside the 92551 perimeter was built with skip-sheathing and a single layer of minimal underlayment. That’s not a cosmetic issue. When you tear off a weathered CertainTeed field on one of these units, you regularly find gaps between the boards where fasteners had nothing to bite. We’ve torn off west-slope fields near the base perimeter where Santa Ana winds had peeled shingles back, and the deck underneath looked like a lattice. Before any new CertainTeed field goes down, those gaps have to be decked over. If a contractor quotes a CertainTeed replacement in March Air Force Base without accounting for that, the quote is fiction. On one low-pitch 1960s military family housing unit near the base perimeter, our crew tore off a wind-scoured field of aging three-tab shingles where the west slope had peeled back in a Santa Ana event. The tear-off exposed skip-sheathing and dried-out original underlayment, so we re-decked the gaps, laid fresh underlayment, and set a CertainTeed Landmark field with high-wind nailing and new flashing at the penetrations. The roof came back tight through the next wind event.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in March Air Force Base
We work on the full CertainTeed lineup you’re likely to find on March Air Force Base roofs: Landmark architectural shingles, XT 25 and XT 30 three-tab shingles, Presidential Shake luxury shingles, and Flintlastic SA self-adhered underlayment. When we repair, we match CertainTeed shingles and accessories to the existing line wherever possible so color and profile stay consistent. For underlayment and flashing, we use quality aftermarket products when they’re the better fit for a low-pitch or high-wind roof. That’s the difference between an independent shop and a brand-locked installer. From a single damaged shingle to a full tear-off and replacement, one call covers it. See our CertainTeed sales & service page for the broader brand overview.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in March Air Force Base
Shingle repair on a CertainTeed roof in March Air Force Base typically runs $350-$750 depending on the slope, how many courses are involved, and whether decking repair is needed underneath. Full CertainTeed replacement on a standard 1,500-square-foot 92551 ranch is generally in the $12,000-$22,000 range, with skip-sheathing decking add-ons running $1,500-$3,500 when the tear-off exposes gaps. Flashing repair around chimneys and penetrations usually lands between $400-$900. We quote the project, not a brand.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in March Air Force Base
Santa Ana winds funnel through the base perimeter and hit west-facing slopes hard, and over repeated wind events the CertainTeed sealant strips lose their grip, letting tabs lift from the eave up. Re-nailing won’t fix the root cause. We address it by inspecting the sealant condition, re-setting or replacing the affected courses, and upgrading the fastening pattern so the shingles have a better chance in the next blow. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll assess the slope directly.
Yes, but only after the deck is made solid. The original 1960s military housing in March Air Force Base was built with skip-sheathing, which means fasteners often miss framing. We re-deck the gaps with solid sheathing before laying the CertainTeed field, then install with a high-wind nailing pattern. That’s standard for our work in the 92551 ZIP code.
Often yes. If the leak is isolated to a valley, penetration, or a limited run of damaged shingles, we repair the affected area and match the existing CertainTeed line where possible. If the field is 20-plus years old with widespread sealant failure or compromised decking, we’ll be straight with you that spot repair won’t hold. Schedule an inspection and we’ll tell you which path makes sense.
We do, and we’re familiar with the housing-office requirements on base. CertainTeed work on military family housing often needs approval through the base’s maintenance chain, and we’ll coordinate what we can from the contractor side. We also work on the surrounding 92551 civilian tract homes built during the same era.
Landmark architectural shingles hold up well in March Air Force Base when they’re installed with the wind exposure in mind. The semi-arid heat is manageable for the Landmark line, but the repeated Santa Ana gusts demand proper fastening and a sealed deck. On west-facing base-perimeter slopes, they need more attention than on sheltered east slopes. Call (866) 942-4187 for a slope-specific read.
