CertainTeed Construction in Pomona, CA | Elmwood Contractors
We provide independent CertainTeed roof installation, repair, and storm damage service across Pomona and nearby communities including CertainTeed in La Verne. What makes our work here different is simple: we inspect and quote slope by slope, because Pomona’s sun exposure is lopsided. A west-facing slope can be granular-bald and brittle while the shaded north slope tests sound. Call (866) 253-8554 to schedule a free estimate.
We carry the full Landmark, Presidential, and Carriage House lines, plus the accessory layers CertainTeed specifies as a system: underlayment, starter course, ridge vent, hip-and-ridge. That matters in Pomona, where Santa Ana winds and triple-digit summers punish roofs in ways coastal contractors don’t plan for. Our team has been working these neighborhoods long enough to know exactly where roofs fail first, which is what you’re paying for when you bring us out. We’re the CertainTeed sales & service team local homeowners call when they want the full assembly installed correctly, not just a shingle matched by color.
Why Pomona Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed builds good shingles. The failure we see in Pomona is rarely the material itself. It’s what the original installer skipped underneath: starter course on the rake edges, proper nail placement, adequate underlayment on spaced-board decks. We don’t skip those steps because we know what a Pomona roof goes through between June and October.
Nolan Shepherd, our owner, grew up in Fullerton’s Sunny Hills neighborhood watching late ’60s homes develop the exact foundation and roof problems he now fixes for a living. He learned construction at Fullerton College and spent his twenties on ground-up residential and light commercial work across North Orange County before running Elmwood Contractors for the past two decades. Nolan’s rule on every CertainTeed job, including Los Serranos CertainTeed service: the right material in the right place. Everything else is just catching up to that decision.
We’re an independent contractor, not a CertainTeed-authorized installer. That independence means our recommendations follow what your deck and the Pomona sun demand, not a manufacturer sales target. If the field is salvageable, we match same-family shingles. If the underlayment has failed, we say so plainly and quote both the repair and the replacement so the decision stays yours.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Pomona
- Granule loss and early surface erosion on south and west slopes. Pomona’s triple-digit summers and near-constant sun bake asphalt shingles far faster than coastal LA. A Landmark roof here can show chalky, bald patches on the exposed slopes at year 12 while the north slope still looks nearly new. We don’t sell a uniform replacement when only half the roof is failing.
- Wind-lifted and creased tabs after Santa Ana events. When the original crew hand-sealed instead of running a proper starter course, tabs lift along the rake edges during a blow. Leak calls typically arrive the week after the wind, not during it. We re-nail, re-seal, and re-flash as needed.
- Ridge and hip failure from heat cycling. Plastic ridge vents and hip-and-ridge caps crack and pull nails on 1950s through 1970s ranch tracts. The ridge is the most wind-exposed part of the roof, and Pomona heat makes plastic brittle faster than manufacturers’ coastal test data suggests.
- Underlayment failure hiding under sound-looking shingles. Pre-1940s bungalows with skip-sheathing or spaced board decks are common in Pomona’s older neighborhoods. The felt is what actually failed, but decades of dry-climate patching only masked it. We strip back, inspect the deck, and tell you what’s underneath before quoting anything.
- Mismatched patch work from previous repairs. A different dye lot on a sun-bleached Pomona slope reads as a patch from the street. We match CertainTeed shingles to the same product family and color lot when the field is salvageable, so the repair disappears into the roof.
CertainTeed Service in Pomona: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Pomona sits in the eastern San Gabriel Valley with a hot, dry interior climate: triple-digit summer days, Santa Ana winds, and roughly 15 inches of rain a year, most of it arriving in a few strong winter storms. Sun-blasted exterior finishes, dried-out stucco, and asphalt shingles that age early are the norm here. The information-gain detail most contractors miss: Pomona’s sun exposure is lopsided. A roof in the 91766 bungalow neighborhoods or the 91767 ranch tracts can show total granule loss and curled tabs on the west and south slopes while the shaded north slope has years of service left. We inspect and quote slope by slope instead of selling a uniform replacement. On a 1950s ranch tract off the 91767 side of town, a homeowner called after Santa Ana winds peeled back a run of Landmark tabs along the west hip. Our tech found the original crew had skipped starter course and nailed high. We replaced the hip-and-ridge, re-nailed and sealed the field, and re-flashed the vent. The shaded rear slope was left alone because it tested sound. That’s what slope-specific service looks like in Pomona.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Pomona
We work across the CertainTeed roof product families homeowners in Pomona and CertainTeed repair in Montclair actually have on their houses: Landmark, Landmark Pro, Landmark Solaris, Presidential Shake, Presidential TL, Carriage House, and Grand Manor. We also handle Cedar Impressions and vinyl siding lines for fascia and wall tie-ins where roofing transitions meet exterior walls. Our approach to parts is straightforward: OEM-compatible CertainTeed components where they’re available, matched by product family and color lot to your existing roof. We keep common-accessory stock for the Pomona market, which means faster turnaround on ridge, flashing, and underlayment work than a contractor ordering each item job by job.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Pomona
Yes, that’s common here. Pomona’s intense west and south sun exposure bakes asphalt shingles from the top down, so a 12-year-old Landmark can look near end of life on exposed slopes while the shaded north slope tests fine. We verify with a hands-on inspection and quote only the slopes that actually need work. Call (866) 253-8554 for an exact answer on your roof.
In Pomona, we nearly always recommend a full tear-off. The pre-1940s bungalows and 1950s-70s ranch homes here often have hidden underlayment failure, and roofing over old shingles hides deck rot and spaced-board problems that will cost more later. We inspect first and show you the deck condition before quoting.
Usually yes, if the shingle itself is still sound. We re-nail tabs to spec, apply sealant, and check whether the original installer skipped starter course, which is the typical root cause. Open tabs that aren’t fixed become leak points the next time wind drives rain sideways. Call (866) 253-8554 to schedule a storm-damage inspection.
Almost always. On Pomona bungalows with skip-sheathing or spaced board decks, the old felt underlayment is typically the failed layer, even if the shingles look okay from the ground. We replace underlayment, flashing, and edge metal as part of the full CertainTeed system assembly, not as add-on change orders.
Yes, we match by product family and current color lot, and we account for how the existing field has bleached under Pomona sun so the repair doesn’t read as a visible patch. If a true match isn’t possible on a badly sun-blasted slope, we’ll tell you before you pay for anything. Call (866) 253-8554 for a free estimate.
