CertainTeed Roofing in Claremont, CA | Tilecraft Roofing
Tilecraft Roofing provides independent Montclair CertainTeed service across Claremont, 91711, and the one thing that makes our CertainTeed work here different is this: we match shingles to the architectural character of your home, not just to a warranty sheet. That matters in a city where design review can hinge on whether a replacement roof reads as original. We service CertainTeed Landmark, Presidential Shake, and accessory systems on homes from the Village to the foothills. Call (833) 467-4846 for a free estimate that starts with an inspection, not a sales pitch.
Why Claremont Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Ruben Castellano grew up a few blocks from Hollydale Regional Park and has spent his working life on roofs across the Southeast LA corridor. He learned the trade through East Los Angeles College’s construction technology program, then spent years on residential and commercial work before founding Tilecraft Roofing. That background means we read a roof the way a mechanic reads an engine: symptom first, then cause, then the fix that actually holds.
We’re an independent provider of CertainTeed sales & service, not an authorized dealer. Our standing with Claremont homeowners comes from years of repair and replacement work on CertainTeed systems, not from a manufacturer’s badge. We treat CertainTeed’s published installation details, nailing patterns, starter and hip-and-ridge systems, and underlayment schedules as the benchmark on every job, whether it’s a full replacement or a valley repair. That’s the standard we hold to. Seven leading brands, one crew, and a clear recommendation based on what your roof actually needs.
We look before we quote. Inspection comes first, every time. That’s how we earn the right to put a roof on your Claremont home.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Claremont
Specific failures show up on CertainTeed roofs here that you won’t see at the coast or in newer tract developments. Here’s what we handle regularly:
- Wind-lifted and creased Landmark shingle edges. After a Santa Ana event, we see shingles along rakes and eaves that have lifted and bent. On older installations, the sealant strips have sun-cured to the point where they no longer bond. Claremont’s tree-lined streets near the colleges funnel wind in ways that make this worse than on open, flat blocks.
- Premature granule loss on south- and west-facing slopes. Claremont sits at the base of the San Gabriels, and the UV here is relentless. Dry summers bake CertainTeed shingles until the surface erodes and granules end up in the gutters. We see it most on homes with full afternoon exposure and no tree cover.
- Debris-packed valleys and leaf-clogged gutters. Mature canopy is a hallmark of Claremont. Leaves drop year-round, pile into valleys, trap moisture against the shingle underlayment, and back water up under courses. By the time homeowners notice a stain, the decking underneath is often already wet.
- Failed flashings at chimneys, dormers, and transitions. Craftsman and Period Revival rooflines are complex. Winter rains find the weak points at step flashing and counterflashing, letting water move behind shingle courses and into the sheathing.
- Aged underlayment and dry rot in old sheathing. Many Claremont homes date to the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. The visible shingles may look serviceable, but the felt or synthetic underlayment beneath has given up, and the tongue-and-groove decking has started to rot. We repair when repair is right, replace when it’s not.
CertainTeed Service in Claremont: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Claremont’s historic-preservation and HOA design review changes how a CertainTeed replacement actually happens. A shingle change here is often a color-and-profile decision, not just a material swap. Before a replacement is approved, we regularly pull CertainTeed color samples against original 1920s to 1940s Craftsman and Period Revival roofs near the colleges and Village. The review board wants to know the new roof will read as the old one did. That extra step, matching original architectural character rather than just picking a shingle off the rack, is something neighboring tract cities don’t put a CertainTeed crew through, though we do offer CertainTeed repair in San Antonio Heights.
After a Santa Ana wind event, we were called to a 1920s Craftsman near the Claremont colleges where the CertainTeed Landmark shingles along a west-facing rake had lifted and creased, and debris from the mature canopy had packed the valleys. We lifted and re-secured the affected courses, replaced cracked shingles with matching Landmark stock, cleared the valleys, and replaced worn step flashing at the chimney. Then we matched the original profile and color so the historic streetscape stayed intact. The roof either does its job or it doesn’t. Let’s make sure it does.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Claremont
We work on the full CertainTeed residential lineup. Landmark architectural shingles are the most common on Claremont homes, and we handle everything from single-shingle replacement to full re-covers. Presidential Shake and Presidential Solaris show up on larger Craftsman and Period Revival properties where the original look was wood shake, and the owner wants durability without losing the profile. X-Terior and Patriot lines appear on mid-century and newer ranch homes where budget and performance outweigh aesthetic constraints.
We use genuine CertainTeed starter, hip-and-ridge, and underlayment accessories where the system calls for them, so the installation matches the manufacturer’s details. We’ll substitute quality aftermarket components only when availability or budget requires it, and we disclose that before we start. Parts are ordered to spec for your roof, not pulled from whatever’s left in the truck.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Claremont
Yes, in most cases. We keep relationships with regional distributors who carry or can source older CertainTeed stock, and we’ll pull samples against your existing roof to match both color and profile. If a discontinued color is truly unavailable, we’ll show you the closest current CertainTeed match and flag it for your review board. Call (833) 467-4846 and we’ll check your line before you commit to anything.
Wind-lifted shingles happen when the sealant strip has aged and lost its bond, so the shingle tabs can’t hold against sustained gusts. It’s common on Claremont homes with older CertainTeed installations and full sun exposure on the windward rake. The fix is to re-secure the affected courses and replace any creased shingles before the next rain. Call (833) 467-4846 for an exact quote.
It absolutely does. Mature trees drop leaves into valleys and gutters year-round. Debris traps moisture, and trapped moisture works its way under shingle courses and rots decking. The roof surface may look fine while the structure underneath is failing. We include a canopy assessment in every inspection.
If your home is in a historic district or under HOA jurisdiction, any material or color change to the roof typically requires review and approval. We’ve guided many Claremont homeowners through this: we bring the samples, you handle the paperwork, and we install to the approved spec. The review process doesn’t have to slow the work down if we plan ahead.
Yes. Flashing repair is one of the most common targeted fixes we do in Claremont. If the shingle courses are still sound and the underlayment isn’t compromised, we can replace step flashing at chimneys, dormers, and transitions without touching the broader roof. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair makes sense or if the surrounding shingles are too far gone. Call (833) 467-4846 for a free estimate.
