CertainTeed Construction in Colton, CA | Moreno Valley Builders
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing installation and repair across Colton and Loma Linda, and the work here has a specific character: most of the homes we work on are 1920s – 1970s single-story bungalows on pier-and-beam foundations, with roof decks that have moved over decades of adobe clay expansion. That means a CertainTeed roof in Colton is rarely a simple shingle layover. It’s re-decking, re-flashing, and getting an out-of-plane roof right before the new shingles go down. Call (877) 752-3154 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk the roof with you and say exactly what it needs.
Why Colton Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed builds some of the most specified roofing systems in the Inland Empire, but how they perform depends heavily on the roof deck underneath them and the installer who details the flashing. We’ve installed and serviced CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential Shake luxury shingles, and their accessory underlayment lines on Colton homes for years. As an independent contractor, we install CertainTeed products and repair existing CertainTeed roofs without any manufacturer authorization, warranty endorsement, or partnership claim. What that buys a Colton homeowner is straight talk: we’ll tell you when a genuine CertainTeed replacement shingle is the right call, and when an aftermarket flashing or vent is honestly the better value.
Noel Trevino grew up in the Sunnymead Ranch area of Moreno Valley and has spent the better part of three decades building and renovating homes across the Inland Empire. He’s the contractor neighbors call when a previous job ignored load paths or a misread permit set left a roof deck out of plane. That background shapes how we approach CertainTeed sales & service in Colton: measure the deck, check the fastening, and get the details right on paper before any shingle is nailed.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Colton
- UV granule wear and blistering on south and west slopes. Colton summers regularly push past 100°F, and intense UV beats on west-facing roof planes every afternoon. CertainTeed Landmark and Presidential shingles on those exposures lose granules early, leaving bare asphalt that bakes and cracks. We see it constantly on the modest single-story tract homes built between the 1920s and 1970s.
- Santa Ana wind damage along ridges and gable ends. Wind from the passes accelerates through Colton’s older neighborhoods with shallow setbacks, lifting and creasing shingle tabs and ridge caps. Older bungalows with marginal fastening lose shingles along perimeters and ridges after a good Santa Ana event. We re-fasten and replace with properly nailed CertainTeed shingles, not just a dab of sealant.
- Shingle cracking along roof transitions on raised foundations. Expansive adobe clay under Colton moves with moisture and drought cycles. On pier-and-beam and raised-foundation homes, the deck shifts, and CertainTeed shingles crack along valleys and wall junctions as the framing flexes. Flashing pulls loose at the exact spots where leaks start.
- Nail pops and sealant breakdown from thermal cycling. Colton’s hot days and cool nights stress original roof decking on older homes. Nails back out, sealant at pipe boots and vent flashings dries and cracks, and the CertainTeed installation leaks around penetrations that were never re-flashed. Repair means replacing the damaged shingles and re-detailing the penetrations, not just smearing caulk.
- Deck failure requiring full tear-off. A raised-foundation Colton home with a deck that has gone visibly out of plane will tear any new shingle system. We tell homeowners honestly when a full CertainTeed tear-off and re-deck makes more financial sense than patching shingles that will crack again in three years.
CertainTeed Service in Colton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Colton’s housing stock is dominated by 1920s – 1970s modest single-story homes on pier-and-beam or raised foundations, many with original galvanized plumbing and shallow lot setbacks. That’s not color commentary; it changes the entire scope of a CertainTeed re-roof here. A newer tract home in Moreno Valley or Grand Terrace might need shingles laid on a flat, modern deck. A Colton bungalow on a raised foundation often needs the deck re-planed or re-decked first, because adobe clay soil movement has pulled the framing out of plane. We re-flash valleys and wall junctions, replace rotted deck sections, and only then install the CertainTeed system. If the details aren’t right on paper, they won’t be right in the wall.
For example: on a mid-century single-story Colton home, we tore off a wind-and-UV-thrashed CertainTeed Landmark roof after Santa Ana winds creased and lifted ridge tabs and granule wear showed bare mat on the west slope. The raised deck over the pier-and-beam foundation had gone out of plane. We re-decked, re-flashed the valleys and wall junctions, installed a new CertainTeed architectural shingle system with matching underlayment, and sealed every penetration that had been leaking. That’s a standard Colton CertainTeed job for us, and it’s the difference between a roof that lasts and a warranty claim waiting to happen.
We’re the contractor serving the Colton service area that looks at the deck first. Call (877) 752-3154 and we’ll do the same on your roof.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Colton
We install and repair the CertainTeed lines that make sense for Colton’s climate and housing stock. That includes Landmark architectural shingles, the workhorse for re-roofs on older single-story homes; Presidential Shake and Presidential Shake TL luxury shingles for homeowners who want a heavier, more dimensional profile; Cedar Impressions polymer siding on later retrofits; and WinterGuard underlayment and roof accessory systems for valleys, eaves, and penetrations. For repairs, we use genuine CertainTeed shingles and matching underlayment where they belong, and quality aftermarket flashing, fasteners, and vents where that’s the smarter buy. We keep common CertainTeed colors and accessory stock accessible for fast Colton turnaround, so a repair doesn’t stall waiting on a special-order bundle.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Colton
No. We’re an independent general contractor that installs CertainTeed products and services existing CertainTeed roofs in Colton, but we hold no manufacturer authorization, certification, or warranty endorsement from CertainTeed. Being independent means our advice doesn’t come with a manufacturer sales quota attached. Call (877) 752-3154 and we’ll tell you exactly what your roof needs, regardless of whose label is on the bundle.
Yes, it frequently does. Raised foundations on Colton’s expansive adobe clay move with moisture cycles, and that movement takes the roof deck out of plane. A CertainTeed re-roof on a home like that often requires re-decking or localized deck repair before new shingles go down, along with re-flashing at valleys and wall junctions. Skipping that step means new shingles crack along the same lines the old ones did. Call (877) 752-3154 for a deck inspection with your estimate.
Both lines hold up, but they age differently. Landmark shingles on south and west Colton slopes granulate-wear and blister faster under 100°F-plus UV exposure. Presidential Shake shingles are thicker and heavier, so they ride thermal cycling better, but they’re also more expensive and heavier on the deck. On an older pier-and-beam home, we’ll check whether the framing carries the extra weight before recommending Presidential. Call (877) 752-3154 for a straight comparison on your roof.
Yes. Santa Ana winds in Colton lift and crease shingle tabs and ridge caps, especially on older bungalows with marginal fastening and shallow-lot gable ends. We re-fasten with proper nail patterns, replace the damaged CertainTeed shingles with genuine matching product, and re-secure ridge caps along the worst wind paths. If the fastening was inadequate across the whole roof, we’ll quote a full re-nail rather than chase one creased tab after another. Call (877) 752-3154 after the next wind event and we’ll get on it.
We repair far more CertainTeed roofs than we replace. A few lifted shingles, a failed pipe boot, or granule wear on one slope is a repair. We recommend full tear-off and replacement when the deck is out of plane, the shingles are past two decades of Colton UV, and patching would be throwing money at a roof that’s done. We’ll show you the deck condition and let the roof make the argument. Call (877) 752-3154 and we’ll give you the honest verdict, free.
