CertainTeed Construction in Ontario, CA | Elmwood Contractors
We provide independent CertainTeed construction service across Ontario, from roof replacements and repairs to siding and drywall work on both residential and commercial buildings. The one thing that makes our CertainTeed work different here is that we’ve seen how these products actually perform under Ontario’s specific conditions: Santa Ana wind events, triple-digit summer heat, and the dust that rolls off the warehouse corridor. If you’re dealing with a CertainTeed roof, siding, or drywall issue in Ontario, call (866) 253-8554 and we’ll give you an honest assessment, not a sales pitch.
Why Ontario Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Our crew has installed and repaired CertainTeed roofing, siding, and gypsum systems across the Inland Empire for well over a decade. We know the product lines intimately: Landmark PRO, Presidential Shake TL, Cedar Impressions, AirRenew. We know where they fail, why they fail, and what fixes actually hold up under Ontario’s dry heat and high-wind days. Nolan Shepherd, our owner, grew up in Fullerton’s Sunny Hills neighborhood watching ’60s tract homes develop the same foundation and envelope problems year after year. That hands-on education in Southern California building science shaped how we approach every CertainTeed project now. We’re an independent contractor, not authorized by CertainTeed, but our field experience means we diagnose brand-specific issues correctly the first time.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Ontario
- Landmark PRO adhesive strip failure and blow-offs. Ontario’s Santa Ana wind events hit fast and hard, especially on roofs with southern or western exposure along the I-10 corridor. We see adhesive strips that never fully sealed because of dust on the shingle surface, and once a 60 mph gust gets under a corner, you lose ridge caps and field shingles. We re-secure with six-nail fastening and replace broken shingles with OEM material.
- Presidential Shake TL thermal cracking and crazing. Ontario summers routinely push past 100°F, and south-facing slopes take the worst of it. Repeated thermal cycling expands and contracts the shingle surface until micro-cracks appear at the nail lines. We replace the affected sections before water migrates to the decking.
- Cedar Impressions siding warping and uneven fading. The dust that settles on homes near Ontario International Airport and the warehouse district is relentless. Combined with intense UV, it causes polymer siding to fade unevenly in patterns that follow dust accumulation. We deep-clean, assess the distortion, and replace warped panels with color-matched stock.
- AirRenew drywall joint cracking in tilt-up warehouses. Ontario’s logistics buildings sit on concrete slabs that move constantly with forklift traffic and heavy truck drayage. Joint compound cracks at wall intersections, and the thermal swing between day and night conditions makes it worse. We repair and re-tape with flexible compounds that tolerate movement.
- Underlayment breakdown after prolonged heat exposure. Ontario roofs bake. We find underlayment that’s brittle and cracked beneath shingles that still look acceptable from the ground. When that happens, a repair is a temporary band-aid. We’ll tell you if the decking and underlayment need full replacement before you spend money on new shingles.
CertainTeed Service in Ontario: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Ontario’s logistics building boom means the city is running a constant backlog of large industrial roofing contracts along the warehouse corridor near Ontario International Airport and the I-10/I-15 junction. Roofing crews that would normally be available for residential work in suburbs like Fullerton, Brea, or nearby CertainTeed in Upland are often scheduled months out on tilt-up concrete shells, tenant improvements, and spec warehouse pads. For homeowners with CertainTeed roofs in Ontario, that has a direct consequence: if you wait until your roof is actively leaking or wind damage is visible, you’re competing with commercial GCs for the same skilled labor. We tell Ontario homeowners to book roof inspections and replacements early, especially before Santa Ana season. On the residential side, we recently replaced a wind-damaged CertainTeed Landmark PRO roof on a 1960s tract home in the 91761 ZIP after a Santa Ana event tore off ridge caps and loosened field shingles. Our crew removed the failed sections, installed new CertainTeed underlayment and shingles with six-nail fastening, and added reinforced hip-and-ridge coverage to handle Ontario’s wind exposure. The homeowner now has a watertight roof that meets local wind-load requirements without paying for a full metal retrofit. The right material in the right place. Everything else is just catching up to that decision.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Ontario
We work on the CertainTeed lines most common in Ontario housing stock and commercial buildings: Landmark PRO architectural shingles on mid-century tract homes in the 91761 and 91762 ZIPs, Presidential Shake TL on higher-end custom builds and re-roofs, Cedar Impressions on exterior siding, and AirRenew drywall in both residential and warehouse settings. For warranty-sensitive repairs we use CertainTeed OEM shingles, underlayments, and accessories. When a customer wants a more cost-effective fix and the application allows it, we source aftermarket components that meet or exceed spec. We stock the most common shingle colors and ridge components for faster turnaround on Ontario jobs. If your project needs something specific, we’ll bring it in. Ontario falls within our Ontario service area coverage, so scheduling is straightforward.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Ontario
Pricing for CertainTeed work in Ontario depends on the scope, the age of the existing system, and what’s hiding underneath. A simple shingle repair runs less than a full roof replacement, and that’s the conversation we have on the first call. Here are the ranges we quote for the three CertainTeed service categories Ontario homeowners ask about most:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 – $40,000 |
What drives the spread? Roof size, pitch, number of valleys, whether the decking needs replacement, and whether you’re matching existing CertainTeed shingle lines or switching products. Our free estimates include a written line-item quote, and the price we quote is the price you pay. Call (866) 253-8554 to schedule yours.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Ontario
Can you repair my CertainTeed Landmark PRO roof after wind damage in Ontario, or do I need a full replacement? It depends on the extent of the blow-off and the age of the roof. If adhesive strip failure is localized to a few shingles and the underlayment is intact, we can perform CertainTeed repair in Chino or Ontario with OEM Landmark PRO shingles and six-nail fastening in a single visit. If the roof is approaching 20 years or the damage spans multiple slopes, replacement usually costs less per year than repeated patches. Call (866) 253-8554 for an honest assessment.
How does Ontario’s summer heat affect CertainTeed Presidential Shake TL shingles? The repeated expansion and contraction from Ontario’s 100°F-plus summer days causes thermal stress at the nail lines, which leads to cracking and grazing, particularly on south-facing slopes. We recommend an inspection every few years and proactive replacement of damaged sections before water gets to the decking.
Do you install CertainTeed Cedar Impressions siding in Ontario’s dusty warehouse corridor? Yes, and we account for the dust. Cedar Impressions performs well in Ontario, but the fine particulate that drifts off the warehouse district settles into panel grooves and accelerates uneven fading. We recommend more frequent rinsing for homes near the airport and logistics corridor, and we can match replacements to the existing color profile so repairs blend, a service we also provide with CertainTeed service in Montclair.
What’s the typical cost to replace a CertainTeed roof in Ontario? A full CertainTeed roof replacement in Ontario runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on square footage, pitch, and condition of the decking. If you’re replacing a Landmark PRO roof that took wind damage, the high end usually reflects decking repair and upgraded underlayment. Call (866) 253-8554 and we’ll give you a written estimate with no vague allowances.
Are you authorized CertainTeed installers? No. We’re an independent contractor with over a decade of hands-on CertainTeed installation and repair experience across the Inland Empire. We use OEM CertainTeed parts for warranty-sensitive repairs and can explain which product lines fit Ontario conditions better than others. Being independent means our recommendation is based on performance, not a manufacturer program.
