CertainTeed Construction in Fountain Valley, CA | Elmwood Contractors
We’re Elmwood Contractors, and we provide independent CertainTeed construction service across Fountain Valley, CA and nearby CertainTeed service in Midway City. We’re not authorized or certified by CertainTeed, and we say that upfront. What we are is a general contractor that has spent years installing CertainTeed roofing and cabinet products on Fountain Valley’s 1960s and 1970s tract homes, where the substrate and permit history matter far more than the warranty card. Call (866) 253-8554 for a free estimate.
Why Fountain Valley Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Most Fountain Valley roofs we open up tell a story the homeowner never expected. A 1968 ranch near Mile Square Park had two prior re-roofs layered over the original skip sheathing, plus an unpermitted patio cover tied into the rear slope. We deal with that reality every week. Nolan Shepherd, our owner, grew up in Fullerton’s Sunny Hills neighborhood and has spent decades working on North Orange County homes built the same era as Fountain Valley’s, plus CertainTeed service in Costa Mesa. He knows what’s under these roofs before the first shingle comes off. We name the brands going into your home before the contract is signed, and we stock genuine CertainTeed accessory components locally so Fountain Valley turnaround stays tight.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Fountain Valley
- Wind-lifted tabs on south and west roof slopes. Landmark shingles on 1960s and 1970s tract homes frequently fail at the sealant strip before the asphalt granules show any age. In Fountain Valley, the marine layer keeps roof decks damp longer during install, which slows adhesion and causes tabs to lift on the slopes that catch the most afternoon sun.
- Siding edge swelling from sprinkler overspray. Cedar Impressions and NorthGate siding at lower courses wick moisture where mature landscaping sits tight against the house. Fountain Valley’s dense planter beds mean sprinkler heads often hit the bottom two feet of siding, causing edge swelling and fastener pull-through.
- Overheating shingles on undersized venting. Original venting under low-slope tract roof sections was undersized when these homes were built. Without ridge and soffit correction, CertainTeed shingles overheat and dry out fast even in Fountain Valley’s mild coastal heat, cutting years off the roof’s life.
- Cracked class-4 mats over old skip sheathing. Impact-rated upgrades installed over original skip sheathing that was never re-decked can telegraph and crack the mat. We see this often when we open a Mile Square area roof.
- Permit files blocking new work. CertainTeed roofs and cabinet remodels stall when Fountain Valley’s permit-conscious city finds unpermitted additions or re-roofs in the records. We reconcile those files before the shingles or cabinets go in, not after.
CertainTeed Service in Fountain Valley: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Because Fountain Valley is fully built out and permit-conscious, much of our CertainTeed work starts not on the roof but in the permit file. Mile Square area homes routinely carry generations of unpermitted additions and re-roofs. The city wants those reconciled before signing off new CertainTeed shingles or a cabinet-driven remodel. That’s a Fountain Valley problem, not a Fullerton or Anaheim problem. A contractor who doesn’t pull records first will get your project red-tagged. We pull the file, flag what needs reconciling, and build the permit path before we build anything else. On one job, the homeowner’s kitchen cabinet refacing had been stalled for months over a patio cover from the 1990s. We re-decked the roof to code, corrected the venting, installed Landmark Pro with matching starter and ridge, and had the file closed out so the cabinets could finally go in. The right material in the right place. Everything else is just catching up to that decision.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Fountain Valley
We install and repair the full CertainTeed residential lineup that fits Fountain Valley’s housing stock. That includes CertainTeed sales & service for the Landmark series (Landmark, Landmark Pro, Landmark Premium), Presidential Shake and Presidential Solaris impact-resistant shingles, NorthGate and Cedar Impressions siding, and CertainTeed suspended ceiling and gypsum board for interior remodels. We install genuine CertainTeed accessory components: starter, hip-and-ridge, and underlayment from the same system.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Fountain Valley
Yes, we install the full Landmark series in Fountain Valley, and the coastal climate does change the install. The marine layer keeps roof decks damp longer on summer mornings, which slows sealant adhesion. We schedule tear-offs to avoid dew-soaked decking and verify sealant strips are properly seated before we call the job done. Call (866) 253-8554 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
Yes. We pull the permit file first, flag the unpermitted work, and build a path to reconcile it with the city before the new CertainTeed shingles go on. Fountain Valley’s code enforcement is strict, but this is routine for us, just like CertainTeed repair in Westminster. Call (866) 253-8554 and we’ll check your property’s records as part of the free estimate.
It can, because the wind-rating and sealant assumptions CertainTeed engineers around assume the system components work together. We install genuine CertainTeed starter, hip-and-ridge, and underlayment together. Mixing brands voids those assumptions. A matching system costs a little more upfront and fails far less.
Yes, and we see it on lower courses all over Fountain Valley. Sprinkler heads in dense planter beds hit the bottom two feet of siding, wicking moisture into the edge and causing swelling and fastener pull-through. We correct the water source or replace the affected courses before it spreads. Call (866) 253-8554 for a siding inspection.
Only if the deck underneath is addressed first. Skip sheathing telegraphs through the mat and cracks class-4 shingles no matter how impact-rated they are. On Mile Square area roofs, we re-deck to code before any impact upgrade. That’s the difference between a 20-year roof and a call-back in five. Call (866) 253-8554 for an honest assessment.
