CertainTeed Construction in Santa Ana, CA | Moreno Valley Builders
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing and exterior service across Santa Ana, from Landmark shingle replacements on pre-1960 bungalows to vinyl siding repairs on post-war tract homes. Most CertainTeed work here comes down to one thing: older roof decks and Santa Ana winds. If your CertainTeed roof or siding is failing, call us at (877) 752-3154 for a free estimate.
Why Santa Ana Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’ve spent years installing and repairing CertainTeed products on the exact kind of housing Santa Ana is known for. That matters because a Landmark shingle roof on a 1928 bungalow near downtown is a completely different job than the same shingle on a 1990s tract home in Irvine. Noel Trevino, our owner and general contractor, grew up in the Inland Empire and has spent nearly three decades fixing what other crews got wrong. He’ll tell you the same thing he tells every Santa Ana homeowner: “If the details aren’t right on paper, they won’t be right in the wall.” We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider, not manufacturer-authorized, and our credibility comes from the work itself. For more on how we approach the broader CertainTeed product line, see our CertainTeed sales & service page.
When you call us, you get one contractor accountable for the whole job. We manage the trades so you don’t have to.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Santa Ana
- Granule loss on Landmark shingles. South- and west-facing slopes in Santa Ana take brutal sun from May through October. We see Landmark shingles with surface cracking and bare patches by year 12 or 14, especially on roofs with poor attic ventilation. The granule layer wears thin, the asphalt oxidizes, and the shingle starts absorbing water instead of shedding it.
- Wind-driven shingle blow-off. Santa Ana winds hit 40 to 60 mph in fall and peel shingles from the rake edges and eaves. On Landmark roofs where the starter course was nailed too high or the sealant strip gave out, we find shingles folded back or missing entirely after the first strong event. The west-facing rake is almost always the first casualty.
- Cedar Impressions siding warping and face-nail failure. Walls that take direct dry wind without proper clearance behind the siding develop waves and buckles. Face-nailed courses start pulling through when the substrate expands and contracts in Santa Ana’s semi-arid heat. We see this most on older additions where someone skipped the nail flange.
- Bufftech vinyl fencing cracking at posts and rails. Repeated wind events plus intense UV breaks down the vinyl’s flexibility. Posts crack at the base, rails snap at the brackets. Santa Ana’s dry heat accelerates the brittleness faster than coastal towns would ever see.
- Roof decking failure under old CertainTeed roofs. We regularly open up roofs in Santa Ana and find rotted or sagging decking under shingles that were replaced years ago over original skip sheathing. The shingle looks fine until you step on it. Then you find out the deck was never solid.
CertainTeed Service in Santa Ana: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Santa Ana’s pre-1960 bungalows and Craftsman homes often have skip sheathing or spaced board decks under the original wood shingles. That’s the detail nobody talks about and most contractors don’t plan for. A CertainTeed roof replacement here frequently requires adding solid decking before Landmark shingles can be nailed, because current codes and CertainTeed’s own installation specs demand a solid nailing surface. In newer neighboring cities like Orange, you just strip and re-shingle. In Santa Ana, especially in the Lacy and French Park historic districts, you’re building a roof deck first. We recently replaced a wind-damaged Landmark roof on a 1928 bungalow near the Lacy neighborhood, where the Santa Ana winds had peeled back shingles along the west-facing rake. After removing three layers of old roofing, we found skip sheathing and added solid decking before installing new Landmark Pro shingles with a reinforced starter course. The homeowner got a wind-rated roof that meets current code, not just another shingle layer over yesterday’s problem.
If you’re in one of Santa Ana’s older neighborhoods, plan for this. If the details aren’t right on paper, they won’t be right in the wall, or on the roof.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Santa Ana
We work on the full CertainTeed roofing and exterior line: Landmark, Landmark Pro, and Landmark Solaris asphalt shingles; Presidential Shake and Presidential Solaris; Cedar Impressions vinyl siding; and Bufftech vinyl fencing. We use CertainTeed OEM shingles, underlayments, and accessories for warranties and fit. But we also stock quality aftermarket starter and ridge vent products when they meet or exceed spec and speed up your repair. Our honest rule on roofs: repair localized damage on roofs under 15 years old; replace when granule loss, wind damage, or decking issues cover more than 30% of the roof. That rule saves Santa Ana homeowners thousands every year because we’re not selling a full replacement when a CertainTeed service in Tustin or repair is the right call.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Santa Ana
No, and we won’t try. CertainTeed’s installation specs require a solid nailing surface, and skip sheathing doesn’t provide one. We remove the old roofing, add solid decking over the spaced boards, then install Landmark shingles with the proper starter course. Cutting this corner voids the warranty and leaves the roof vulnerable to Santa Ana wind uplift. Call (877) 752-3154 and we’ll assess your decking during the estimate.
Santa Ana winds are dry, hot, and gusty from the northeast, and they hit roofs differently than coastal wind. The wind accelerates over the foothills and slams into west- and north-facing slopes with sudden gusts that lift shingle edges and break sealant strips. In Santa Ana, we reinforce starter courses and use extra fasteners on rake edges for exactly this reason. Call (877) 752-3154 to have your roof inspected before the next wind season.
Yes. After a Santa Ana wind event, we prioritize tarping and temporary repairs to stop water intrusion, then schedule the permanent CertainTeed repair once we can get materials and safe access. Same-day response is available for emergency calls. Call (877) 752-3154 as soon as you notice missing shingles or leaks.
In Santa Ana’s hot, dry summers, Landmark shingles typically last 18 to 25 years, but south- and west-facing slopes with poor attic ventilation can show granule loss and cracking by year 14 or 15. Proper ventilation and solid decking extend the life. We can tell you during an estimate whether your roof’s ventilation is working against your shingles. Call (877) 752-3154 for an honest assessment.
Yes, if the color is still in current production. CertainTeed discontinues some color lines, so we’ll pull a sample and match it as closely as possible from available Landmark colors. Weathering also affects color, so a shingle that’s five years old won’t match a brand-new one exactly. We’ll show you the match before we install. Call (877) 752-3154 for a free match assessment.
