CertainTeed Construction in Redlands, CA | Square Deal Contractors
We provide independent CertainTeed repair in Loma Linda and across Redlands’ three ZIP codes: 92373, 92374, and 92375. What makes our CertainTeed work here different is that we’ve spent years installing and repairing their Landmark shingles, Presidential Shake TL, Flintlastic SA membrane, and Bufftech fencing on the two very different home types this city throws at you: pre-1930s Craftsman and Victorian houses downtown, and steep hillside lots up toward the Crafton Hills. We’re not affiliated with CertainTeed, but we know exactly how their products perform under Redlands’ Santa Ana winds, triple-digit summers, and settling hillside footings. Call (866) 623-7205 for a free estimate on any CertainTeed project.
Why Redlands Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Nolan Breckett, our owner, spent the better part of three decades building in Southern California, and he’s the first to say that no two Redlands roofs take the same beating. A Landmark shingle roof on a flat 92374 tract home faces different stresses than one on a Smiley Heights slope that bakes in afternoon sun from April through October. What that means for you is practical: we don’t guess at venting, underlayment, or starter strip details. We’ve seen how CertainTeed assemblies perform here, and we specify the right one for your exposure. We keep CertainTeed OEM ridge vents, starter strips, and underlayments on hand for Redlands jobs because mixing brands voids warranties and compromises the system. That’s the kind of thing you only learn by doing the work locally. Our CertainTeed sales & service covers full product lines, and our Redlands clients know they’re getting a contractor who has already solved the problem their house is about to present.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Redlands
CertainTeed makes solid products. But Redlands has a way of finding their weak points, especially on older homes and exposed ridgelines. Here’s what we see most often:
- Landmark shingles cracking over skip sheathing in 92373. Many pre-1930s Craftsman and Victorian homes in the historic core have original 1×6 skip sheathing, not solid plywood decking. When Santa Ana winds drive rain underneath, Landmark shingles over those gaps can crack and lift. We replace the decking first, then install the CertainTeed system properly.
- Presidential Shake TL granule loss on south-facing slopes. Hillside homes near Smiley Heights take relentless summer UV and heat, and we see premature granule loss and curling on south-facing exposures where attic ventilation is inadequate. The fix is often a better-vented assembly, not just new shingles.
- Bufftech vinyl fencing cracking at post caps on ridgelines. Around the Crafton Hills, repeated Santa Ana wind events can crack Bufftech fence post caps and rails, especially where the original installer skipped manufacturer-specified wind-rated posts. We repair with OEM Bufftech parts and reinforce the post spacing.
- Flintlastic SA membrane seam failure on old low-slope roofs. Downtown Redlands has plenty of low-slope porch and addition roofs on structures that predate modern membrane engineering. Summer thermal cycling moves those older frames, and Flintlastic SA seams sometimes fail as a result. We assess the structure before recommending membrane work.
- Wind-damaged ridge vents and starter strips. Fall Santa Anas amplify every small installation error. We routinely replace blown-off ridge vents and improperly fastened starter strips on otherwise decent CertainTeed roofs across Redlands.
CertainTeed Service in Redlands: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Redlands is two cities in one for a roofing contractor. Down in the flat historic core of 92373, you have 1900-1930 Craftsman, Tudor, and Victorian homes with original skip sheathing, pier-and-beam foundations, and often knob-and-tube wiring still running through the attic. Up the hillsides toward Smiley Heights and the Crafton Hills, you have terraced lots with engineered footings and retaining walls, where drainage and slope stability are part of every roofing decision. That split changes what a Colton CertainTeed service or Redlands installation actually requires. On a 1920s Craftsman downtown, a CertainTeed roof replacement often means full decking replacement and electrical coordination before any shingles go down, because you can’t properly fasten modern shingles to skip sheathing, and you shouldn’t be walking around an attic with active knob-and-tube wiring. On a hillside home, the same project might mean adding ember-resistant vents and Class A underlayment to meet wildfire defensibility standards. A generic CertainTeed page won’t tell you this. A generic Redlands page won’t either. We will, because we’ve done both jobs, repeatedly, and we know which one your house is.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Redlands
We work across CertainTeed’s residential construction product lines, including Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential Shake TL, Flintlastic SA self-adhered membrane, and Bufftech vinyl fencing systems. Our approach to parts is straightforward: OEM CertainTeed accessories whenever the assembly calls for them, because ridge vents, starter strips, and underlayments are engineered to work as a system. We stock common CertainTeed accessories locally for fast Redlands turnaround, and we’ll repair older installations with matching CertainTeed materials where they’re still available. When they aren’t, we’ll recommend a partial or full re-roof with a current CertainTeed system that meets today’s wind and fire code. One contractor, every phase, and we’ll tell you exactly what you’re getting and why.

What drives the cost in Redlands specifically? The age of your decking, for one. Homes in 92373 that need full decking replacement before CertainTeed shingles go down will land on the higher end.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Redlands
Many pre-1930s homes in 92373 were built with 1×6 skip sheathing, not solid plywood, so yes, you will likely need full decking replacement before CertainTeed Landmark or Presidential Shake TL shingles can be properly fastened. CertainTeed’s installation specs require solid, code-compliant decking, and Redlands’ Santa Ana winds will find any gap. Call (866) 623-7205 for an exact assessment, estimates are free.
CertainTeed Landmark shingles hold up well in high wind when properly fastened per manufacturer specs, which include correct nail pattern, starter strips, and underlayment. The failures we see in Redlands are almost always installation-related or decking-related, not product defects. On older homes with skip sheathing or improper venting, wind-driven rain can get underneath and cause lifting. We’ll tell you exactly what your roof needs before the first nail goes in.
Yes, Flintlastic SA is engineered for low-slope applications, but on older downtown Redlands homes with original framing, thermal movement can stress the membrane seams over time. We assess the underlying structure before recommending Flintlastic SA, and on some older additions, we recommend reinforcing or replacing the substrate first. Call (866) 623-7205 for a straight answer on your specific roof.
CertainTeed Landmark shingles carry a Class A fire rating when installed with the appropriate underlayment and accessories, which is what Redlands homes edging toward the Crafton Hills should have. Ember-resistant vents and fire-rated underlayment are part of a defensible CertainTeed assembly, and we specify those details on hillside projects. The right material for your project and your budget is our job to lay out clearly.
Often, yes. If the damaged area is localized and matching CertainTeed materials are still available, we’ll repair it with OEM parts and tell you honestly how much life is left in the rest of the roof. If the decking is failing or the roof has widespread wind or UV damage, replacement will cost less long-term. Call (866) 623-7205 for a repair assessment, quotes are free.
