CertainTeed Construction in Highland, CA | Moreno Valley Builders
We’re Moreno Valley Builders, an independent general contractor serving Highland with full-scope CertainTeed roofing, siding, and construction service. The short answer: we install and repair CertainTeed systems across all of Highland’s 92346 ZIP code, and the thing that separates our work here is that we build for Santa Ana winds and WUI fire code, not just for looks. If you’re pricing a CertainTeed roof or repair in Highland, call (877) 752-3154 and we’ll walk the job with you.
Why Highland Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We specify CertainTeed because their shingle lines hold up where other materials fail. But what Highland homeowners actually need is a contractor who knows how those systems behave here, on south-facing foothill slopes with UV that chews through lesser asphalt and wind events that rip up anything with weak nailing. Noel Trevino, our owner, has spent the better part of three decades building and renovating across the Inland Empire, and he’s seen enough CertainTeed in San Bernardino and Highland installs up and down Boulder Avenue to know what’s going to hold and what’s going to need attention in five years.
We’re not a factory-authorized warranty shop. That’s the point. As an independent provider, we recommend what’s right for your Highland property, whether that’s a full Presidential Shake TL replacement or an honest conversation about when to step back from an aging roof. You get one contractor accountable for the framing, the underlayment, the flashing, and the shingles. We manage the trades so you don’t have to.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Highland
Highland punishes roofing in specific, predictable ways. Here’s what we see most often on CertainTeed systems in this city:
- Cracked keyways on Presidential Shake TL. The thick, architectural profile on Presidential Shake TL is beautiful, but when the Santa Anas flex an older roof deck, the shingles crack right along the keyway. We see this frequently on 15-to-20-year-old roofs in the foothills off Boulder Avenue, where the wind load and micro-movement combine.
- Uneven granule loss on Landmark Pro south-facing slopes. Highland’s summer UV is relentless, and south-facing slopes take the full hit. Landmark Pro is a solid shingle, but we’ve pulled tabs where the granules have worn through to the asphalt mat years earlier than a north-facing side. That’s not a manufacturing defect; it’s Highland sun.
- Cedar Impressions siding warping after ember-retrofit work. Homeowners retrofit walls with ember-resistant assemblies for WUI compliance, and if the Cedar Impressions siding doesn’t get the proper nail-slot clearance or backing, it warps or loosens. We’ve corrected this on mid-century tracts and custom foothill homes.
- Symfony flashing failures from wind-driven rain. Symfony’s integrated flashing details are clean, but they’re only as good as the underlayment beneath them. In Highland, wind-driven rain during a Santa Ana event will find any seam that wasn’t bedded to a WUI-compliant membrane.
- Underlayment aging out before the shingles. This is the silent killer around here. Older Highland homes often have original 20-to-30-year-old felt underlayment under a newer top layer. When the felt goes, the roof loses its water-shedding layer and leaks begin, shingles look fine, and homeowners are confused.
CertainTeed Service in Highland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Highland’s hillside neighborhoods off Boulder Avenue sit on expansive clay soils that shift with seasonal moisture. That movement racks the roof deck, and a racked deck opens flashing seams, breaks seal strips, and pulls fasteners loose. It’s a problem people in flatland Moreno Valley or Grand Terrace rarely deal with, but up against the San Bernardino foothills it’s common enough that we check for structural movement before we ever recommend CertainTeed repair in Muscoy or re-shingling here. Here’s the sequence: clay swells in a wet winter, the footings shift a quarter inch, and now the ridge line has a subtle sag you’d never notice from the street. A new CertainTeed roof laid over that won’t just fail early; it’ll void the warranty because the manufacturer can point to racking as an installation-site defect. We’ve looked at roofs in Highland where the shingles were fine but the deck flex was transferring load into the flashing. Before any CertainTeed overlay, we verify the deck plane is stable. If it’s not, we address the racking first. If the details aren’t right on paper, they won’t be right in the wall.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Highland
We work across the CertainTeed lines most common in Highland: Presidential Shake TL for that distinct shake profile on custom foothill homes, Landmark Pro for full roof replacements where the homeowner wants a 30-year class shingle at a mid-range price, Cedar Impressions for exterior siding retrofits, and Symfony for integrated residential roofing with a modern eave line. On repairs, we source OEM CertainTeed shingles and accessories so your warranty stays intact. But we’ll also tell you when an older roof makes more sense with a high-quality aftermarket underlayment and flashing kit than chasing down a discontinued OEM part. You get an honest recommendation, not a parts sales pitch. If you’re comparing, see our CertainTeed sales & service page for the full scope of what we handle.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Highland
What drives the number on a Highland CertainTeed roof is the deck condition, the slope, and the WUI underlayment spec. A simple repair on a low-pitch ranch runs less than a hillside tear-off with fire-rated membrane off Boulder Avenue. Here are the ranges we quote most often in Highland:
| Service | Highland Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 – $40,000 |
Every estimate includes a walk on the roof, a deck movement check, and a written line-item quote. No change orders arrive later, because we price the Highland-specific conditions up front. Call (877) 752-3154 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you the exact number for your home.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Highland
Yes, when installed with a Class A fire-rated assembly, which means the right shingle, the right underlayment, and ember-resistant vents. CertainTeed’s Presidential Shake TL and Landmark Pro lines are Class A rated as part of a compliant system. We pull WUI requirements into every Highland roof we bid, and we don’t cut the underlayment spec. Call (877) 752-3154 and we’ll review what your property needs to pass inspection.
Wind damage is covered up to the shingle’s wind warranty rating only if the roof was installed to the manufacturer’s nail pattern and deck standards. Santa Ana gusts regularly hit 60 to 80 mph in Highland’s canyon mouths, which is at the top edge of most shingle wind ratings. We’ve seen warranty claims denied because the original installer shorted the nail count or skipped the starter course. We install to the spec from day one, and on older Highland roofs we document existing condition before recommending any repair. For a hard look at what your warranty actually covers, call (877) 752-3154.
Usually yes. CertainTeed color lines like Presidential Shake TL and Landmark Pro stay in production for years, and we keep current OEM stock available for Highland repairs. When a color has been discontinued, we’ll source the closest current match and tell you honestly whether the blend will be visible from the street. On a small repair, most homeowners can’t tell; on a large section, we may recommend replacing the full slope. Call (877) 752-3154 and send us a photo of the roof; we’ll tell you whether matching is realistic before you spend anything.
Plan on 20 to 25 years for Landmark Pro and 25 to 30 for Presidential Shake TL in Highland, which is shorter than the national average because of UV exposure on south slopes and Santa Ana wind fatigue. Homes in the foothills tend to lose a few years off that, especially where the deck sits over expansive clay. The best way to stretch the lifespan is proper ventilation and a WUI-rated underlayment from the start. For an honest read on your roof’s remaining years, call (877) 752-3154.
Yes. When a Santa Ana event rips shingles off a Highland roof, we can tarp the exposed section and get a repair crew out. A homeowner off Boulder Avenue called us after the last big wind event with shingles pulled from a 20-year-old Presidential Shake TL roof, similar to CertainTeed in Redlands homes we’ve serviced. We found cracked keyways and lifted tabs along the windward slope, replaced the damaged sections with matching Presidential Shake TL, and upgraded the underlayment to a WUI-compliant fire-rated membrane. The repair stopped the leaks and brought the roof back to code for ember exposure. For emergency tarping or repair in Highland, call (877) 752-3154.
