CertainTeed Roofing in Upland, CA | Tilecraft Roofing
We’re an independent CertainTeed roofing contractor serving Upland homes and businesses across 91784, 91785, and 91786, and we also provide Rancho Cucamonga CertainTeed service. We install and repair CertainTeed shingle and tile roof systems weekly, and the thing that separates our Upland work is simple: we match the product to the specific house, whether that’s a citrus-era Spanish Colonial with original clay tile or a 1970s tract home with aging Landmark shingles. Call (833) 467-4846 for a free estimate.
CertainTeed makes a deep lineup of asphalt shingles and tile components, and we know the product line well enough to tell you honestly when a repair makes sense and when the underlayment beneath the tile has reached the end of its service life. We are not authorized, sponsored, or warranty-endorsed by CertainTeed, and we say so plainly, because an honest assessment is more useful than a badge. Ruben Castellano, our owner, has spent his working life on roofs across the Southeast LA corridor and brings that same no-shortcuts approach to every Upland job, plus CertainTeed service in Claremont.
Why Upland Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Most Upland homeowners don’t need a pitch. They need a contractor who can look at a roof and know whether the problem is in the shingle, the underlayment, or the flashing. That’s what we do. We’re a full roof lifecycle shop: CertainTeed sales & service covers inspection, repair, and complete replacement, handled by the same crew from the first assessment to the final fastener. We look before we quote.
Ruben learned the trade at East Los Angeles College’s construction technology program and spent years on residential and commercial roofs before starting Tilecraft. He grew up a few blocks from Hollydale Regional Park, and he’s the kind of contractor neighbors pass along by name, not flyer. His approach sticks with us: the roof either does its job or it doesn’t. Let’s make sure it does.
In Upland, that means knowing how Santa Ana gusts lift aging shingle tabs and how dry foothill heat dries out the felt beneath clay tile. We stock genuine CertainTeed components and reputable aftermarket underlayments and flashing matched to the assembly, so turnaround stays tight for Upland service area calls.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Upland
- End-of-life Landmark and Presidential shingles on 1980s tract homes. Much of the 91786 ZIP is 1960s to 1980s construction, and those original CertainTeed roofs are hitting year 35 or 40. Granule loss exposes the fiberglass mat to UV, and once the mat degrades, Santa Ana gusts can lift and crease tabs that should have been replaced five years ago.
- Curling shingle edges on south- and west-facing slopes. Upland’s hot inland summers bake the sunny exposures, drying the asphalt and curling the butt joints. Wind-driven rain then finds those lifted edges and works moisture into the deck. We see this pattern constantly on tract homes where the west slope fails years before the north slope.
- Brittle, cracked underlayment beneath clay tile. On citrus-era and Spanish Colonial homes in Upland, the tile can look perfectly fine while the felt beneath has dried and cracked. The tile is not the waterproofing layer; the underlayment is. When it goes, leaks appear even though every visible tile is intact.
- Wind-loosened ridge and hip fasteners on foothill-adjacent tile roofs. The same Santa Ana winds that make Upland’s fire risk so real also work ridge and hip tiles loose over decades. You may not notice until a tile slides, but the loose fasteners have already compromised the assembly.
- Deteriorated vents that become ember entry points. Older roofs near the San Gabriel foothills often have attic and eave vents that no longer close properly. During a Santa Ana event, that’s an open invitation for wind-driven embers. We retrofit ember-resistant vents as part of many Upland repairs.
CertainTeed Service in Upland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Upland sits where the dry Santa Ana winds funnel through the foothills, and that changes what a CertainTeed roof actually needs here. Most of our calls in the foothill-adjacent neighborhoods are not for cosmetic tile repairs; they’re for ember-resistant retrofits. A tile roof keeps its historic look, but the real protection comes from what’s underneath the tile and what covers the vents. We regularly find open or degraded attic vents on older Upland tile roofs that would let embers straight into the attic during a wind event. The fix is a Class A assembly with ember-resistant underlayment and properly fitted venting, not another layer of sealant on the ridge. That’s the difference between a roof that looks right and one that does its job when the winds kick up.
On a citrus-era Spanish Colonial near the foothills, our crew pulled and stacked the original clay tile to find brittle, cracked underlayment beneath it and several wind-loosened ridge fasteners. We replaced the decking where it had softened, installed ember-resistant underlayment with new venting, then re-set the tile and re-fastened the ridge for the Santa Ana gusts. The homeowner kept the historic tile look and gained a fire-hardened assembly instead of another cosmetic patch.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Upland
We install and repair the full CertainTeed asphalt lineup: Landmark architectural shingles, including Landmark Pro and the Solaris reflective line that helps on Upland’s hot summer slopes and in our CertainTeed repair in Montclair work; Presidential Shake and Presidential T/L for homeowners who want the heavier dimensional profile; and CedarLux where the budget allows. For tile work, we service CertainTeed clay and concrete tile systems, including ridge and starter components.
When a repair calls for it, we use genuine CertainTeed shingles and accessories. Where the specification allows, we use reputable aftermarket underlayments, flashing, and vents, always matched to the assembly rather than cheapened to hit a number. We keep common Landmark colors and standard tile components staged locally so Upland callbacks don’t wait on cross-country freight.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Upland
CertainTeed roof work in Upland typically falls into three buckets: targeted leak repairs run $350 to $900, partial shingle or tile replacement runs $900 to $2,500 depending on square footage and access, and tile underlayment replacement runs $2,000 to $6,000 based on tile density and deck condition. Full re-roofs with Landmark architectural shingles land between $12,000 and $24,000 on most Upland homes.
What drives the cost is deck condition after tear-off, underlayment choice, and the pitch of the roof. Steep citrus-era roofs take more time and care.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Upland
Yes, we can match most active CertainTeed Landmark color lines, and we keep several common colors staged for Upland jobs. If your shingle color has been discontinued, we’ll show you the closest current match and talk through whether a full slope replacement makes more sense. Call (833) 467-4846 for a free assessment and exact color match.
Yes. If your Upland home is in a foothill-adjacent neighborhood, the underlayment and venting matter as much as the tile itself. Ember-resistant underlayment and properly fitted vents are the difference between a cosmetic repair and a fire-hardened assembly. We’ll assess what you have and show you what’s actually needed.
It depends on the mat condition and how many years are left on the roof. If the mat is intact and the roof has 10 or more years of service left, we repair honestly and re-secure the lifted tabs. If the mat is failing, replacement is the real fix, and we’ll tell you that rather than selling patch after patch. Call (833) 467-4846 and we’ll look at it together.
We pull and stack the tile in numbered sections, replace the underlayment and any softened decking, then re-set the original tile and re-fasten the ridge. We’ve done this on citrus-era Spanish Colonials throughout Upland and the tile goes back looking like it has been there for a century, because it has.
No. We’re an independent CertainTeed roofing contractor. We install and repair the brand’s systems because we know them well, not because we’re factory-endorsed. That independence means our recommendation is based on your roof, not a manufacturer’s program.
