CertainTeed Roofing in Fontana, CA | Tilecraft Roofing
We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider handling inspection, Roof Repair – Fontana, and full replacement across Fontana’s 92334, 92335, 92336, and 92337 ZIP codes. The thing that separates our CertainTeed work here is simple: we know what these product lines do after 60 years under Inland Empire sun and Santa Ana wind. That local knowledge changes how we scope every job. Call (833) 467-4846 for an estimate.
Why Fontana Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Tilecraft Roofing works with seven major roofing brands, and CertainTeed is one we specify often here. Not because it’s all we stock, but because Landmark and Presidential shingle lines make sense for a lot of Fontana’s housing stock. Our crews have torn off and reinstalled enough CertainTeed systems across the Inland Empire to know exactly what fails, when it fails, and whether patching makes sense or you’re better off with a full tear-off.
We look before we quote. Ruben Castellano built this company on inspection-first work, and that’s the lens we bring to every CertainTeed roof in Fontana. If a repair extends the life of your roof properly, we’ll tell you. If the underlayment is shot and the decking needs an upgrade to meet current Title 24 cool-roof standards, we’ll tell you that too. The seven-brand portfolio means we’re never trying to force one material onto your roof.
We use genuine CertainTeed accessories and underlayments where they matter for performance, and proven aftermarket flashing and fasteners where they’re actually the better fit for Fontana’s heat and wind. Repair when repair is right, replace when it’s not: that’s the approach, plain and simple.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Fontana
These are the failures we actually see on CertainTeed roofs across Fontana, not a generic list pulled from a brochure:
- Severe granule loss and thermal cracking on Landmark shingles. Decades of 100°F-plus summer days and sharp overnight cooling cycles cook asphalt shingles from the inside out. We’ll find the tabs cracking first along the south-facing slopes in older 92335 tract homes.
- Xtreme WeatherGuard underlayment turning brittle under concrete tile. On the 1980s-2000s foothill homes in 92336 and 92337, tile roofs often look fine from the street while the underlayment beneath is disintegrating. This is a hidden failure most homeowners don’t catch until water is already through the decking.
- Ridge caps and shingle tabs lifted or torn during Santa Ana events. Wind off the Cajon Pass hits Fontana’s older roofs hard in the fall, especially after a dry summer has left shingles brittle and sealant strips weakened. We see ridge caps peeled clean off on the south-side tracts.
- Sealant strip failure and fastener corrosion at penetrations and edges. Fontana’s thermal cycling breaks the bond in sealant strips over time, and the dry heat accelerates corrosion on fasteners around vents and flashing. That’s how wind-driven rain gets in, even when the field of shingles looks intact.
- Original skip-sheathing failures on 1950s-60s tract homes. This is the big one in 92335. Those older roofs were never built for modern shingle assemblies, and a tear-off often reveals decking that needs to go, not just the shingles above it.
CertainTeed Service in Fontana: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what visiting Fontana tells you that a spec sheet won’t. The older south-side tracts in 92335, the post-war subdivisions built for Kaiser steelworkers in the 1950s and 60s, sit on original skip-sheathing with thin asphalt over hot-mopped patches. When we tear off a CertainTeed roof in that part of Fontana, the decking underneath is often sagging, fire-damaged, or simply too thin for the Title 24 cool-roof assembly California now requires on re-roofs. That’s the checkable local fact: a re-roof in south Fontana frequently turns into a full deck replacement, not because the roofer wants the upsell, but because the original construction predates the code that now applies. A roof spec that makes perfect sense in Rancho Cucamonga or CertainTeed in Rialto applies differently here, where what’s under the shingles is the variable.
On a 1960s tract home near Juniper Avenue and Arrow Boulevard, our crew tore off three layers of aging shingles down to the original skip sheathing, which was sagging and fire-damaged in spots. We replaced the damaged decking with new plywood, installed CertainTeed Xtreme WeatherGuard underlayment and Landmark architectural shingles in a cool-roof color, bringing the roof up to current Title 24 standards while adding the wind resistance needed for Santa Ana season. That’s the kind of job where Fontana’s housing history and CertainTeed’s product line have to work together, and we’ve done it enough times to know what we’ll find before the first shingle comes off.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Fontana
We service and install the CertainTeed product lines most common across Fontana’s housing stock:
- Landmark – architectural shingles, the workhorse for Fontana’s tract homes. We see the full lifecycle on these, from new install to end-of-life granule loss.
- Presidential – heavyweight laminated shingles with a dimensional profile. A good fit for homeowners who want more presence on a low-pitch gable roof without jumping to tile.
- Xtreme WeatherGuard underlayment – the layer that matters most under tile in the 92336/92337 foothills. We stock this for Fontana jobs because tile underlayment replacement is a service we perform regularly out here.
- Flintlastic – CertainTeed’s modified bitumen system for flat and low-slope applications. We’ll scope it when a Fontana roof has a low-pitch section that shingles never should have gone on in the first place.
On the parts side, we use genuine CertainTeed accessories and underlayments where warranty and performance depend on it. For flashing and fasteners, we specify proven aftermarket products suited to Fontana’s UV load and thermal cycling. That’s not cost-cutting; it’s knowing which parts actually fail here and which ones don’t.
CertainTeed Service Pricing in Fontana
What you’ll pay for CertainTeed service in Fontana depends on what we find during the inspection, and that’s exactly why we look before we quote. Here’s a general picture of the work and what drives the cost:
- Shingle repair: Replacing Landmark tabs or ridge caps after a Santa Ana event typically lands on the lower end, $300-$600 depending on the number of damaged tabs and whether there’s one slope or several involved.
- Tile underlayment replacement: On foothill homes in 92336/92337 where the tile is still good but the underlayment is shot, this runs higher, $4-$7 per square foot, because it means lifting and resetting tile, not just peeling shingles.
- Full CertainTeed tear-off and re-roof: On a typical Fontana tract home with Landmark architectural shingles, you’re looking at $8-$12 per square foot, and the big variable is whether the decking needs replacement underneath. In 92335, it often does.
- Flintlastic flat/low-slope: Generally $9-$14 per square foot installed, though the prep work on older Fontana substrates can shift that. Every deck has an opinion.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Fontana
Not always, but in south Fontana’s older 92335 tracts it’s more likely than not. Those original 1950s-60s roofs often have skip-sheathing and thin decking that can’t support a modern shingle assembly under current Title 24 requirements, so a full tear-off and deck upgrade is the code-compliant path, similar to what we see with CertainTeed in Pedley. We’ll inspect and tell you straight whether a nail-over re-roof is viable or whether you’re looking at a deck replacement. Call (833) 467-4846 for a free inspection.
Landmark handles heat reasonably well compared to thinner three-tab products, but 100°F-plus summers and sharp overnight cooling still take their toll over 20-plus years. We see thermal cracking and granule loss on south-facing slopes first, and that’s the mode of failure that tells us a Fontana roof is nearing the end. Ridge caps in a cool-roof color help with the thermal load, and that’s something we factor into every Fontana spec.
Ridge caps and shingle tabs lifted or torn off at the edges, especially on dry, aged roofs where the sealant strip has already given up. The wind shoots down off the Cajon Pass and finds every weak spot on the older tract homes. If you’re missing ridge cap after a wind event in Fontana, call (833) 467-4846, and we’ll fix the damage before the next system moves through.
Yes, and that’s a service we perform regularly in the 92336 and 92337 foothill neighborhoods. The tile itself often has decades of life left, but the Xtreme WeatherGuard or original underlayment beneath it has turned brittle and started leaking. We lift the tile, replace the underlayment with a current CertainTeed product, and reset the same tile on top, provided the tile is still in good shape. Call (833) 467-4846 to schedule an inspection if you suspect underlayment failure.
We do. Flintlastic is a modified bitumen system that handles low-slope applications well, and some older Fontana homes have flat sections over additions or carports where shingles never should have been used. We’ll scope the existing substrate, assess whether the current surfacing can stay or needs full replacement, and price the Flintlastic job with the deck work included, no surprises after tear-off. Call (833) 467-4846 for a walkthrough and quote.
