CertainTeed Construction in Cypress, CA | Elmwood Contractors
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing and exterior installation across Cypress, working with Landmark, Presidential Shake, NorthGate, and Cedar Impressions systems. What makes our CertainTeed work different here is simple: we plan every tear-off around Cypress code enforcement and HOA visibility rules, which change how we stage materials, place dumpsters, and sequence the job. Call (866) 253-8554 for a free estimate.
Elmwood Contractors is an independent contractor, not a CertainTeed affiliate or authorized dealer. We buy through the same distributors as the dealer network but answer only to you. That independence matters in Cypress, where most work happens on 1950s-70s tract homes that need more than a shingle swap. They need someone who understands skip-sheathing, corroded valley flashing, and the city’s strict streetscape enforcement. Our crews read CertainTeed’s published installation specs and hold them as the inspection standard. If you’re planning a roof replacement in the 90630, start with a contractor who knows both the product and the neighborhood.
Why Cypress Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We know CertainTeed’s product lines the way a mechanic knows engine families. Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential Shake TL, NorthGate SBS-modified, Cedar Impressions and CedarBoards siding. Each one installs differently, wears differently, and fails differently. Nolan Shepherd, our owner, spent his teens in Fullerton’s Sunny Hills watching which 1960s tract houses were going to have structural problems before the owners knew it. He’s been running Elmwood Contractors for two decades since, and the lesson stuck: the right material in the right place. Everything else is just catching up to that decision.
For Cypress homeowners, that means we recommend a CertainTeed product because it matches your roofline, your exposure, and your HOA’s streetscape rules. Not because it’s convenient for us. We stock CertainTeed OEM starter, ridge vent, and matching hip-and-ridge locally for fast turnaround on Cypress jobs. Mixing aftermarket accessories voids the shingle system’s wind rating. We don’t do it.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Cypress
- South and west slope granule loss. Landmark and Presidential fields in Cypress age from the sun side down. South and west slopes lose granule coverage and sealant strips bake open years before the north slopes show wear. Then a Santa Ana wind event lifts the shingles and creases them. We see this constantly on original 1960s roofs.
- Skip-sheathing nail misses. Original Cypress tract homes from the 1950s-70s often got re-roofed over skip-sheathing or a single felt layer. Landmark nails miss rafters, or under-driven fasteners back out. Result: loose tabs and ceiling stains after the first wet winter. We re-deck before we lay new CertainTeed field.
- Cedar Impressions fade and caulk failure. Cedar Impressions siding on Cypress stucco-and-trim homes takes hard afternoon sun on west elevations. Panels fade, inside-corner caulk joints open, and wind-driven rain tracks behind the lock seam. We pull the affected course and reset with proper flashing.
- Corroded aluminum valley flashing. Many low-slope 1960s Cypress plans used aluminum flashing at roof-to-wall and valley transitions. Decades of contact with composite shingle edges corrodes it through. Water wicks under the starter course without an obvious leak. We replace with galvanized or stainless before the new CertainTeed system goes down.
- Under-vented attics cooking shingles from below. Original Cypress tract homes rarely got ridge vents. Hot, dry summers push attic temps high enough to accelerate shingle aging from the underside. When we re-roof, we add CertainTeed ridge vent so the new field breathes.
CertainTeed Service in Cypress: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here’s what most contractors miss about Cypress: the city’s code enforcement on visible front-yard and streetscape improvements is strict enough that reroof staging, dumpster placement, and material drops have to be planned around HOA and city visibility rules. That constraint changes how we sequence a CertainTeed tear-off here compared with CertainTeed in Garden Grove or Anaheim. In Cypress, we stage materials in the driveway, not the street. Dumpsters go behind the fence line where possible. The tear-off and re-deck happen in one section before we open the next, so a half-finished roof never sits visible from the curb for days. This matters on a 1960s tract street where the homes are uniform and the HOA notices go out fast. On a single-story near Los Alamitos High, we tore off two layers of aging composite over skip-sheathing and found the original aluminum valley flashing corroded through where it met the starter course. We re-decked the soft spots, set new metal valley and CertainTeed starter, and laid Landmark architectural shingles in a color matched to the neighbor’s roofline so the streetscape stayed uniform. Then we added new gutters and downspouts on the same run. That’s how you have to work in Cypress.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Cypress
Our crews install and repair the full CertainTeed roofing and exterior lineup. That includes Landmark architectural asphalt shingles, the most common choice on Cypress tract homes for its wind rating and color range. Presidential Shake and Presidential Shake TL for homeowners who want the heavy wood-shake profile without the fire risk. NorthGate climate-flex SBS-modified shingles for Cypress roofs that need extra impact and flex performance. And Cedar Impressions polymer siding plus CedarBoards insulated siding for exterior updates that match the neighborhood’s stucco-and-trim rhythm.
On the parts side, we use CertainTeed OEM accessories exclusively. Starter, ridge vent, hip-and-ridge, and valley metal all come from CertainTeed’s catalog. We match shingle color and profile lot-to-lot on repairs so a patch doesn’t announce itself. For full Cypress replacements, we keep common Landmark colors available through local distributors for faster turnaround.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Cypress
Yes. We match Landmark color and profile lot-to-lot on repairs and full replacements, and in Cypress we specifically plan color selection against the neighboring rooflines so the streetscape stays consistent with HOA expectations. Call (866) 253-8554 and we’ll bring physical shingle samples to compare against your street.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common issues we address on Cypress tract homes. Skip-sheathing means the nail pattern can’t reliably hit solid decking, so we re-deck the affected areas before laying CertainTeed field, starter, and ridge. Skipping that step is how you get loose tabs and interior ceiling stains after the first wet winter.
A roof past 15-18 years with widespread granule loss, especially on south and west slopes, is a failing field. Targeted repairs on that roof are throwing money at a problem that’s already structural. We’ll tell you honestly during the estimate. Repairs start around $400; full replacement in Cypress or our Stanton CertainTeed service area typically runs $8,000 – $20,000 depending on decking condition and roof complexity. Call (866) 253-8554 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
We do. Cedar Impressions works well on Cypress stucco-and-trim homes, but the west elevations need attention to caulk joints and flashing at inside corners to prevent wind-driven rain tracking behind the lock seam. We address that during the install rather than after the first storm.
CertainTeed Landmark and Presidential lines carry Class A fire ratings, which meets the fire-resistant material requirements for Cypress, our CertainTeed repair in Buena Park service area, and nearby foothill-adjacent properties. If the city or your HOA requires additional defensible-space measures, we’ll flag those during the estimate so the permit package is complete before we start.
