As a General Contractor – Tustin, Square Deal Contractors has installed CertainTeed roofing and siding systems across South Orange County for years. Our crews train on CertainTeed installation best practices, and we stock the accessories needed to meet or exceed manufacturer specs. We’re an independent service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate. That means honest assessments on every inspection.

Why Tustin Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service

CertainTeed makes a deep product line, but the product is only as good as the contractor reading your specific roof and wall conditions. Nolan Breckett grew up in the Baker Ranch area of Lake Forest and built his reputation doing residential and light commercial work across South Orange County. He learned the trade through the construction technology program at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, where hands-on coursework taught him how framing decisions from decades ago create problems today.

That background matters when we walk a Tustin roof. Old Town homes from the 1910s through 1940s carry cedar and redwood skip sheathing, knob-and-tube-era framing, and additions patched together over generations. Tustin Ranch and Columbus Square homes from the 1980s onward have stucco-over-wood-frame construction, tile or asphalt roofs, and HOA design-review requirements. Neither responds to CertainTeed products the same way. We adjust our approach accordingly, because we’ve worked both conditions repeatedly.

We also source CertainTeed OEM accessories, like their Ridge Vent and shingle starter strips, to maintain system integrity. Where aftermarket flashing and sealants make sense, we use materials that meet or exceed ASTM standards. We’ll tell you exactly what you’re getting and why. That’s the Square Deal name working the way it should.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Tustin

• Santa Ana wind damage on west-facing Presidential Shake slopes. Tustin sits in the path of hot, dry gusts that come ripping through the foothills each fall. We regularly see Presidential Shake tabs on west-facing roof planes that have lifted or creased because the adhesive strips degraded after years of UV and heat cycling. The wind finds those weak points fast. We repair the damaged sections and re-secure tabs before the next Santa Ana event strips them entirely.
• Cedar Impressions chalking and cracking on south-facing Tustin Ranch walls. The south and southwest exposures in Tustin Ranch take brutal afternoon sun for months on end. After 10 to 15 years, we see Cedar Impressions siding on those walls start to chalk and develop hairline cracks. The polymer simply wears under relentless UV load. We assess whether panel replacement is isolated or widespread before recommending a repair or full re-side.
• Landmark shingle leaks at chimney and skylight flashing on Old Town roofs. Older homes near El Camino Real and Main Street have chimneys and skylights that were flashed decades ago, often with materials that have since corroded or pulled away. We find Landmark shingles that are still in decent shape, but the flashing details are failing during heavy winter rains. The leak isn’t the shingle; it’s the transition. We fix the flashing properly so the roof system works as one unit.
• Symfony underlayment wrinkling and tearing at low-slope eaves on 1980s tract homes. Tustin Ranch and a few 92782 condo complexes have roof sections with shallow pitch. If Symfony underlayment wasn’t secured carefully at the eaves, it wrinkles and eventually tears under thermal cycling. That exposes the decking to moisture intrusion. We re-secure or replace the underlayment before it becomes a structural problem.
• Nail pops and sagging over old skip sheathing in citrus-era bungalows. When CertainTeed shingles are installed directly over original 1×6 skip sheathing without a solid deck overlay, nail pops and visible sagging develop within a few years. The shingle system can’t perform to spec. We address this with proper decking as part of any Old Town re-roof.

CertainTeed Service in Tustin: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof

Here’s the piece of Tustin knowledge that most contractors miss, and it matters for any CertainTeed roof project. Tustin’s historic citrus-era homes often have original 1×6 skip sheathing under their roofs. That’s how they were framed in the 1910s through the 1930s. CertainTeed’s shingle warranties require that skip sheathing be overlaid with solid decking before new shingles go on. Skip that step and the warranty is void before the first rain hits. We see roofs on Old Town streets where a previous contractor cut that corner. The shingles sag between the gaps, nails pop, and the whole system underperforms. Square Deal Contractors treats solid decking as non-negotiable on every Old Town re-roof. It adds cost and a day or two to the job, but it’s the difference between a roof that lasts 30 years and one that fails in 8. Know what you’re getting into before the first nail goes in.

On a 1920s bungalow near El Camino Real in Old Town Tustin, we found original CertainTeed Landmark shingles installed over skip sheathing without proper decking. The sagging was visible from the street. We removed the old roof, installed new plywood decking, and re-roofed with CertainTeed Presidential Shake in a color that matched the historic palette. All of it coordinated with Tustin’s design review process. That’s the kind of job that shows why local knowledge matters here. You can’t shortcut it, and you shouldn’t.
