CertainTeed Construction in Orange, CA | Elmwood Contractors
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing and siding installation and repair across Orange, from Landmark shingle replacements in the east-side tracts to Presidio metal roofing on hillside remodels. What makes our CertainTeed work here different is simple: we plan every job against Old Towne Orange’s historic preservation review, which changes how a roof or siding system gets specified and approved. That’s not something a generic brand page or a neighboring-city contractor accounts for. Call (866) 253-8554 for a free estimate on any CertainTeed project in Orange.
Why Orange Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’ve installed and repaired CertainTeed roofing and siding systems across Orange for over a decade, with CertainTeed repair in Tustin also part of our local coverage. That’s Landmark shingles on 1950s ranch homes near Hart Park, Cedar Impressions siding on Old Towne bungalows, and Presidio metal panels on hillside custom builds. We know how each product line reacts to Orange’s specific conditions: 14-plus inches of rain packed into winter months, intense UV on south- and west-facing slopes, and Santa Ana winds that test every fastener and sealant.
Nolan Shepherd, our owner, grew up in Fullerton’s Sunny Hills neighborhood, and he learned early what thermal cycling does to roofing materials in North Orange County. That’s the lens we bring to every CertainTeed job in Orange and our CertainTeed service in North Tustin. We recommend products because they perform, not because they’re convenient for us.
We also keep a local stock of CertainTeed OEM accessories: matching ridge caps, starter strips, hip and ridge components, and the flashing profiles Old Towne Orange’s reviewers expect. That means faster turnaround on repairs and replacements across the 92859, 92862, 92863, and 92864 ZIP codes.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Orange
- Granule loss on Landmark shingles from UV exposure. South- and west-facing roof slopes in Orange take brutal sun from May through October. We regularly see Landmark shingles on mid-century east-side homes where the granules have worn thin enough to expose the asphalt mat underneath. That’s a replacement indicator, not a repair-and-wait situation.
- Presidio metal roof fastener back-out after Santa Ana events. Presidio panels perform well in Orange, but sustained wind pressure works screws loose over time. We find backed-out fasteners and failed sealant at pipe penetrations and ridge details on hillside homes after every major wind season.
- Cedar Impressions siding cracking at butt joints. Full-sun exposures in Orange, especially on unshaded west walls near the foothills, cause thermal expansion that cracks Cedar Impressions boards at the butt joints. We see this more in Orange’s warmer inland pockets than in coastal cities just a few miles west.
- Symphony siding fading and chalkiness. CertainTeed’s Symphony line holds color well, but prolonged UV on an unshaded Orange elevation will eventually chalk the surface. Homeowners notice it most on homes without mature tree cover, which is common in the newer infill lots east of the 55.
- Winter rain intrusion at flashing and underlayment failures. Orange’s rain arrives in concentrated bursts between November and March. A small flashing gap or worn underlayment on a flat or low-slope mid-century addition becomes an interior leak fast. We fix the source, not the stain.
CertainTeed Service in Orange: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the checkable fact most Orange homeowners don’t hear until they’re already mid-project: Orange is one of the rare Southern California cities where you can pull a permit for brand-new construction directly across the street from a pre-1940 citrus-era Craftsman, and the city’s cultural resource review treats those two projects completely differently. In Old Towne Orange, the largest historic district in California, the Orange Municipal Code’s historic preservation overlay can require period-correct window profiles and facade materials on any visible alteration, including roofing and siding. That means a CertainTeed Landmark shingle roof in Old Towne Orange sometimes has to be paired with specific trim and flashing details to pass review. A homeowner in Santa Ana or Anaheim simply won’t face that step.
For CertainTeed owners specifically, this changes two things. First, the product specification has to be locked down early, because the review board wants to see exactly what’s going on the structure, not a generic “composition shingle roof” note. Second, the installation sequence matters: we coordinate the historic review paperwork before materials arrive, so the roofing crew isn’t standing around while the city reviews the elevation drawings. We’ve done enough CertainTeed work in Old Towne Orange to know what the reviewers flag and what they pass, and that experience shortens the approval cycle considerably.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Orange
We install and repair the full CertainTeed roofing and siding lineup relevant to Orange homes. That includes Landmark asphalt shingles, Presidio standing-seam metal roofing, Cedar Impressions polymer siding, and Symphony vinyl siding. For every installation and repair we use CertainTeed OEM accessories and matching components: ridge caps, starter strips, hip and ridge pieces, and manufacturer-specified flashing. We don’t substitute generic aftermarket parts on CertainTeed systems, because the warranty language and the performance profile both depend on matched components.
When a CertainTeed roof shows widespread granule loss across multiple slopes, or a Presidio metal roof has failed fasteners at several penetrations, we’ll tell you straight: repeated repairs on a failing system cost more than a full replacement done once. That recommendation comes from the field, not from a catalog. See our CertainTeed sales & service page for the full scope of what we handle.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Orange
No. Landmark shingles are designed for sloped roofs with a minimum pitch, typically 2:12 or steeper. Orange has many mid-century homes with flat or low-slope additions where shingles will trap water and fail prematurely. For those sections, we recommend a CertainTeed low-slope membrane or a metal option like Presidio, depending on the historic review constraints and the structure’s drainage.
In Old Towne Orange, any visible siding change on a historically designated structure can trigger the city’s cultural resource review process. That means the material profile, color, trim style, and sometimes the joint pattern have to match period-appropriate details. CertainTeed Cedar Impressions can work in this context because it reads visually as wood, but we coordinate the review submission first. Call (866) 253-8554 and we’ll tell you up front whether your project will need that step.
CertainTeed rates Landmark shingles for a service life that assumes moderate sun exposure. In Orange, where south- and west-facing slopes bake through long dry summers and then absorb winter rain, we typically see 18 to 25 years of reliable performance before granule loss becomes significant. Homes with heavy tree canopy or good attic ventilation often run longer; unshaded hillside exposures run shorter. The right material in the right place. Everything else is just catching up to that decision.
Yes. Presidio standing-seam metal is one of the best options for hillside homes in Orange, especially in the foothill-adjacent east-side neighborhoods where Santa Ana wind gusts hit hard. The panels interlock with concealed fasteners, which removes the back-out problem common with exposed-fastener metal systems. We stock Presidio OEM clips, closures, and matching trim locally so we don’t have to special-order every repair.
Orange gets nearly all its rain between November and March, and it arrives in focused storm fronts rather than light drizzle. That’s why we schedule repairs before the rainy season when possible, and why we always inspect the underlayment and flashing when we’re on a CertainTeed roof. A repair that ignores deteriorated underlayment won’t survive the first real storm. For an exact quote on your repair, call (866) 253-8554; estimates are free.

We replaced a hail-damaged CertainTeed Landmark roof on a 1950s ranch home near Hart Park in east Orange recently, similar to our CertainTeed repair in Villa Park work. The south slope had severe granule loss and two lifted shingles from thermal cycling. We removed the old layer, installed new CertainTeed Landmark shingles with matching ridge caps and starter strips, and upgraded the underlayment before the winter rains. The owner got a watertight roof that matches the street’s mid-century character.
That’s the standard we bring to every CertainTeed job in Orange. One contractor, every trade, interior to exterior. Call (866) 253-8554 for your free CertainTeed estimate.
