CertainTeed Construction in Mentone, CA | Moreno Valley Builders
We install and repair CertainTeed repair in Redlands and across Mentone as an independent contractor, not a manufacturer shop. The work here separates from typical Inland Empire roofing because roughly 80% of Mentone sits in unincorporated San Bernardino County, which means permits run through County Land Use Services, not a city building department. And on the crafton slopes, decomposed granite and buried boulders alter how fasteners seat and vents perform. If your Landmark Series roof is losing granules or your canyon-side flashing leaks, call (877) 752-3154 for a free estimate.
Why Mentone Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We specify CertainTeed in Yucaipa and Mentone because their systems hold up on Mentone’s hot, dry slopes when they’re detailed correctly. Landmark Series architectural shingles, Presidential Shake, NorthGate SBS-modified lines, Symphony and Highland Slate designer profiles: we’ve torn off and reinstalled enough of each across 92359 to know where they fail and where they don’t.
Noel Trevino, our owner and General Contractor in Mentone, grew up in the Sunnymead Ranch area and has spent close to three decades building and roofing across the Inland Empire. He’ll tell you the same thing on a Mentone hillside that he says in Moreno Valley: if the details aren’t right on paper, they won’t be right in the wall. Or the roof deck.
We stock CertainTeed accessory components locally – underlayments, ridge vent, starter, matched flashing – because mixing generic accessories under a CertainTeed field is how premature failures start. When your roof needs attention, you’re not waiting on a distributor across the county. This page is part of our broader CertainTeed sales & service work, and we treat Mentone jobs with the same material rigor we bring to every east-valley project.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Mentone
- Granule loss and seal-strip curling on south and west exposures. Mentone’s dry summers and Santa Ana cycles bake shingles fast, and Landmark Series architectural shingles on those exposures lose granules and curl at the seal strips. That leaves hips and ridges exposed to wind lift, which is where leaks start.
- Wind-lifted hip-and-ridge cap shingles after Santa Ana events. When the wind howls out of Cajon Pass and down Mill Creek Canyon, cap shingles on exposed ridges shear their sealant. Fasteners backed out of granite-hardened decking open small leaks you won’t see until the next winter storm.
- Blistered and fish-mouthed shingles over old skip-sheathing. Crafton-area hillside homes built mid-century often have shingles installed over felt and skip-sheathing. The deck can’t breathe, heat and moisture trap, and the CertainTeed field blisters from underneath. Ridge vent alone won’t fix it.
- Winter storm runoff driving behind step flashing at canyon-side walls. When storms off the San Bernardino Mountains funnel rain down Mill Creek, water gets behind flashing and underlayment at valleys and sidewalls. The ceiling stains show up long before the shingle surface looks damaged.
- County permit and inspection snags on unincorporated parcels. Re-roofs and additions on county land in Mentone run through San Bernardino County Land Use Services. If the decking hits decomposed granite or boulders mid-dig, the footing and fastening plan changes, and the permit set has to reflect that before the inspector signs off.
CertainTeed Service in Mentone: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing about Mentone that no neighboring city shares: most of the community is unincorporated San Bernardino County, and the permitting path for a CertainTeed re-roof or addition runs through County Land Use Services, not a city desk. That’s not a formality; it changes the sequencing. County reviewers look harder at grading, drainage, and slope stability on crafton-area lots because those homes sit on decomposed granite that erodes fast once the vegetation is pulled back.
For certainty around every phase of your project, see our Mentone service area page. We’ve re-roofed homes along Mentone Boulevard and up the crafton slopes, and the decking behavior is consistent: granite that looks solid until a fastener spins, boulders that force us to re-space the nailing pattern, and attic spaces that need mechanical venting because natural airflow across a hot granite hillside is marginal at best. A CertainTeed Landmark field installed correctly on that deck will last; the same shingles nailed into a compromised deck fail within a few Santa Ana seasons.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Mentone
We work on the full CertainTeed residential roofing line: Landmark Series architectural asphalt shingles, Presidential Shake and Presidential Solaris, NorthGate and Northwoods SBS-modified profiles, and Symphony and CertainTeed service in Highland Slate designer lines. The pattern across Mentone is that Landmark dominates the valley-floor homes along Mentone Boulevard and the ranch stock near the old town center, while crafton-slope custom homes often carry Presidential Shake or a designer profile.
Our repair approach is simple: match the field to CertainTeed’s own accessories. Underlayment, ridge vent, starter course, and step flashing all come from the same system. We repair and re-flash on a sound deck before we talk replacement. But when a certain roof has hit that 15-year mark on a Mentone hillside with full sun exposure, we’ll tell you honestly whether another patch is worth the money.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Mentone
Roof work in 92359 runs on the same cost drivers as the rest of the east valley: slope, deck condition, access for tear-off, and whether the county requires additional drainage or erosion-control measures. Here’s where typical CertainTeed project pricing lands in Mentone:
| Project Type | Typical Range in Mentone |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600 – $2,500 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 – $40,000 |
The range exists because a single-story ranch roof on the valley floor is a different job than a two-story crafton-slope custom with a 7:12 pitch and granite deck complications. Our estimates are free and line-itemed, and before you commit to a full replacement we’ll walk the roof with you so you see exactly what we’re seeing. Call (877) 752-3154 to schedule that walk.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Mentone
Yes, and it runs through San Bernardino County Land Use Services. We handle the full permit package and deal with the county inspectors directly, because re-roofs on unincorporated parcels here require documentation that the deck, nailing pattern, and underlayment meet current wind and fire standards. Call (877) 752-3154 and we’ll start that permit set before we order materials.
Decomposed granite looks stable but doesn’t hold fasteners like solid wood once it’s pulverized. On crafton-slope decks, we often have to re-spacing fasteners, add blocking, and switch to ring-shank nails to keep the CertainTeed field seated through Santa Ana cycles. The granite also holds heat, so we check attic ventilation before we lay the field. It’s a different roofing job than the valley floor.
They will if the deck is sound, the starter and cap are CertainTeed-matched, and the hip-and-ridge pieces are fastened correctly. Wind-lift at hips and ridges is the most common failure we see after heavy Santa Ana events, and it’s almost always because the original installer skimped on cap shingle seals or used generic accessories under the CertainTeed field. Call (877) 752-3154 for a free wind-damage assessment.
Based on what we find on Mentone’s east-facing slopes, it’s usually the step flashing and underlayment at the canyon-side valley, not the shingle field itself. Storm runoff hits that wall with serious force when Mill Creek drainage channels the water, and any gap at the flashing joint sends water behind the siding before the shingles look bad. We’ll re-flash that junction correctly with matched CertainTeed flashing, and the leak stops.
We repair first on any deck that’s still solid. Loose caps, lifted flashing, localized granule loss on one slope: those are repairs. A full replacement makes sense when the deck has rot, the fasteners have failed across the field, or the shingles are 15-plus years old with widespread seal-strip failure. We’ll tell you which one you have, and give you a line-itemed number either way. Estimates are free.
