CertainTeed Construction in Claremont, CA | Square Deal Contractors
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing and construction service across Claremont, CA, from full Landmark shingle replacements to targeted wind-damage repairs on older stucco-and-frame homes. What makes our CertainTeed work different here is simple: we install these products every week and we know how Claremont’s design review, inland heat, and Santa Ana winds actually stress a roof. Call (866) 623-7205 for a free estimate, and we’ll tell you straight whether that roof can be repaired or needs to come off.
Why Claremont Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’re a full-scope general contractor in Claremont, not a single-trade roofer trying to patch a leak and move on. That matters in Claremont because so many homes here need coordination across trades: a re-roof on a 1950s ranch often means addressing fascia, soffit, insulation, and ventilation at the same time. One contractor, every phase. Nolan Breckett, our owner, learned the trade through Saddleback College’s construction technology program and has spent decades working on exactly the kind of stucco-and-frame homes that fill the streets around the Claremont Colleges and the Village. He’s the one who insists we use factory CertainTeed accessories, matching ridge cap, starter strip, and CertainTeed underlayment, so the warranty chain stays intact on the field shingles. If an aftermarket ventilation product clearly outperforms, we’ll say so. Otherwise it’s OEM. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting and why.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Claremont
CertainTeed makes a solid product, but Claremont’s specific conditions expose predictable failure points. Here’s what we see consistently:
- Granule loss and blistering on Landmark shingles. South- and west-facing slopes in Claremont take punishing UV load all summer, well east of the coastal marine layer. We regularly see excessive granule shedding into gutters on homes where the shingles are only 15 years old. Targeted replacement of the worst slopes works when caught early; full replacement when it’s widespread.
- Wind-lifted and creased shingles along hips and ridges. Santa Ana events hammer the rooflines here, especially on older homes where the sealant strips failed years ago. Exposed fasteners and creased tabs are common. We repair these with matching CertainTeed shingles and proper starter strip reset.
- Premature underlayment and plastic ridge vent failure. Older stucco-and-frame homes around the Village often have undersized attic ventilation. Summer attic heat buildup cooks standard underlayment, and wildfire-season smoke finds its way inside through failed vents. We replace with upgraded ridge ventilation during any re-roof.
- Cracking and granule shedding on pre-1990s organic-mat shingles. A lot of Claremont’s 1920s to 1960s bungalows and ranch homes still carry their original or second-layer organic-mat CertainTeed roofs. The mat itself is at end of life. Patching buys time; replacement is the honest answer.
- Design-review conflicts on visible shingle profile. Near the Colleges and the Village historic core, a roof that doesn’t match the neighborhood’s established profile gets flagged during review. We handle the survey, the details, and the permit path so you’re not stuck redoing the job.
CertainTeed Service in Claremont: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing people miss about Claremont: this is not a tract-building city. Drive through the streets north of Foothill Boulevard or around the Colleges and you’ll see 1920s bungalows next to 1960s ranches, nearly all with shallow pitches, modest overhangs, and visible shingle profiles that define the neighborhood’s character. The city’s architectural review and historic-preservation culture mean a roof replacement here often has to match existing pitch, overhang, and shingle profile to get approved. A tract builder in Ontario or Rancho Cucamonga never faces that. We do. That’s why we specify CertainTeed Landmark for most Montclair CertainTeed service and Claremont re-roofs: it reads as a traditional architectural shingle, sits well on shallow pitches, and doesn’t scream “new roof” in a neighborhood that values continuity. On a 1950s ranch off Indian Hill Boulevard near the Claremont Colleges, our crew tore off two layers of aging CertainTeed organic shingles that had shed granules into the gutters and were creased along the west-facing ridge from the last Santa Ana event. We re-decked a soft spot, installed CertainTeed Landmark Pro with matching starter and ridge cap plus upgraded ridge ventilation, and the homeowner got a roof that met the neighborhood’s profile expectations and passed city review without a hitch. That’s the Claremont difference: the roof has to work and it has to look right on the block.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Claremont
We install and repair the full residential CertainTeed roofing lineup, including Landmark architectural asphalt shingles (Landmark, Landmark Pro, Landmark Solaris), Presidential Shake and Presidential TL luxury shingles, Presidio and Prestige standing seam metal roofing, and Grand Manor and Carriage House designer shingles for historic-style homes around the Village. For most Claremont homes, Landmark architectural is the workhorse; for homeowners wanting a 50-year metal profile without the designer price tag, Presidio standing seam makes sense. We stock factory matching ridge cap, starter strip, and underlayment locally for standard Claremont colors, which keeps turnarounds tight. Need something specific? We’ll order it and tell you the lead time before you commit. See our full CertainTeed sales & service page for the complete model breakdown.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Claremont
Most wind-damaged Landmark roofs in Claremont can be repaired if the damage is localized to hips, ridges, or a few field shingles. We replace the creased or lifted shingles with matching CertainTeed product and reset the sealant strips. If the wind event exposed fasteners across multiple slopes or the shingles are 20-plus years old with granule loss already underway, replacement is the honest call. Call (866) 623-7205 for a roof inspection and a straight answer.
Often yes. Claremont’s design review process applies to many homes near the Village and the Colleges, particularly where visible shingle profile, color, or pitch changes would alter the neighborhood’s character. We handle the survey and documentation as part of the estimate, so you know before signing whether review is in play. That’s the kind of thing that catches out-of-town roofers off guard.
For most Claremont homes, Landmark Pro is the best balance. Its reinforced construction resists the UV-driven granule loss and blistering we see on south-facing slopes, and when paired with upgraded ridge ventilation it keeps attic temperatures down during smoke season. Landmark Solaris adds reflective granules if you want maximum heat rejection on a low-pitch, full-sun roof.
It depends on your roof geometry and how long you plan to stay. Presidio costs significantly more upfront, but on a south-facing low-pitch roof in Claremont’s inland heat, the longevity and fire resistance pencil out over 40 to 50 years. If your roof has complex hips and valleys, architectural shingles are usually the more practical spend. We’ll quote both honestly and let you decide.
We check the deck condition carefully before anything comes off. Older stucco-and-frame homes here frequently have soft sheathing around eaves and valleys from decades of minor leaks. We factor re-decking into the estimate as a defined line item, not a surprise add-on. If the framing itself is compromised, we flag it before any shingle goes down.
