CertainTeed Construction in San Antonio Heights, CA | Elmwood Contractors
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing and siding installation, repair, and replacement across San Antonio Heights, CA. The work we do here is different because every roof and exterior surface has to hold up to Santa Ana wind uplift, fire-severity rules, and steep foothill drainage, not just look good from the street. Call (866) 253-8554 for a free estimate on CertainTeed work in 91784.
Elmwood Contractors is an independent contractor. We are not authorized, sponsored, or endorsed by CertainTeed. But we’ve installed and repaired their Landmark shingles, Cedar Impressions siding, and Flintlastic underlayment on San Antonio Heights hillside homes long enough to know exactly where these products succeed and where they need extra attention. We also run CertainTeed sales & service for homeowners throughout the foothills.
Why San Antonio Heights Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Most roofing crews in the Inland Empire learned their trade on flat-lot tract houses. San Antonio Heights is not that. The lots climb the alluvial fan below the San Gabriels, pitches get steep, and the county’s high-fire-severity standards change what materials and assemblies you can use. We’ve been working these hills long enough that a re-roof off Mountain Avenue doesn’t surprise us, and as a General Contractor in San Antonio Heights, we know every local requirement.
Nolan Shepherd, our owner, grew up in Fullerton’s Sunny Hills neighborhood, where he could spot which late-’60s houses were going to have foundation trouble before he had a driver’s license. He did his construction training at Fullerton College, then spent years on ground-up residential and light commercial work before running Elmwood Contractors for the past two decades. That background is why we approach a CertainTeed roof in San Antonio Heights as a building-envelope problem, not just a shingle swap. San Antonio Heights service area coverage is a core part of what we do.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in San Antonio Heights
- Granule loss and seal-strip failure on south and west-facing slopes. Hot, dry inland summers bake Landmark shingles until the seal strips give up. Once that happens, Santa Ana wind gets under the tabs and lifts them. We see this most on the wide south-facing roof planes above Euclid Avenue.
- Wind-driven rain intrusion at gable ends. Cedar Impressions siding panels crack or loosen at the nail hem when wind-driven rain and heat cycling hit exposed gable ends above the alluvial fan. The repair is straightforward if caught early, but ignoring it lets water behind the panel and into the sheathing.
- Valley leaks and Flintlastic de-bonding at steep pitch transitions. Hillside roofs in San Antonio Heights change pitch more often than tract roofs. Decking movement at those transitions can wrinkle or de-bond Flintlastic membranes, opening a path for winter rain intrusion exactly where water concentrates.
- Premature algae streaking on shaded north slopes. Older Landmark roofs under the mountain tree canopy grow algae faster than homeowners expect. It’s cosmetic at first, but the moisture retention it causes accelerates granule loss if left alone.
- Ridge vent and flashing deterioration after wind cycles. The ridgeline takes the most abuse during Santa Ana events. We replace worn ridge vent, starter strip, and hip-and-ridge with genuine CertainTeed accessories so the system stays warrantable.
CertainTeed Service in San Antonio Heights: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
San Antonio Heights sits in unincorporated San Bernardino County, so every CertainTeed roof or re-roof here is permitted through the county, not the City of Upland—though we also provide Upland CertainTeed service for homes within city limits. That distinction trips up out-of-area builders who assume Upland jurisdiction. It also means your CertainTeed assembly has to meet high-fire-severity foothill standards: Class A roof covering, correct ridge and eave details, and brush clearance that the county actually enforces. Windows and siding choices get pulled into that same review. We have pulled enough county permits in 91784 that we know which details the inspector is going to want documented. You don’t get that with a crew that normally works flat lots in Rancho Cucamonga.
We also deal with the drainage reality. Steep slopes plus heavy winter rain means every valley, every roof-to-wall transition, and every underlayment seam is a potential water path. The right material in the right place. Everything else is just catching up to that decision.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in San Antonio Heights
Our CertainTeed work in San Antonio Heights covers the full exterior envelope, and nearby we offer CertainTeed service in Claremont as well:: Landmark architectural shingles including Landmark Pro and Landmark Solaris, Presidio and Presidential Shake premium shingle lines, Cedar Impressions polymer siding, and Flintlastic self-adhered roofing underlayment and membranes. We use genuine CertainTeed ridge vent, starter strip, hip-and-ridge, and matching underlayment so the system stays warrantable. Where aftermarket flashing genuinely outperforms, like at complex chimney-to-roof transitions on old custom homes, we specify it and tell you why.
When a CertainTeed roof is 15-plus years old with widespread granule loss across multiple slopes, or if you need CertainTeed repair in Montclair or surrounding areas,, or storm damage has compromised more than a few squares, we tell you honestly that replacement beats patching. We don’t sell roofs. We build them to survive this specific climate.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in San Antonio Heights
Does San Antonio Heights require a county permit for a CertainTeed roof replacement?
Yes. San Antonio Heights is unincorporated San Bernardino County, so every re-roof is permitted through the county, not the City of Upland, and must meet high-fire-severity foothill standards for Class A assemblies and brush clearance. We handle the permitting on every CertainTeed job in 91784. Call (866) 253-8554 for guidance on your roof’s permitting path.
Will a CertainTeed Landmark roof stand up to Santa Ana winds on a foothill lot?
It will, provided the installation is correct for the exposure: proper nail placement, starter strip, genuine CertainTeed seal strip activation, and ridge details that don’t catch wind. We’ve seen Landmark roofs on exposed ridgelines off Mountain Avenue stay tight through multiple wind seasons when installed right. Call (866) 253-8554 to have your roof wind-checked before the next Santa Ana event.
My hillside roof keeps leaking at the valleys in winter – is that the shingles or the underlayment?
On San Antonio Heights hillside roofs, valley leaks are often the underlayment. When decking moves at steep pitch transitions, Flintlastic or valley membranes can wrinkle or de-bond, and water follows the path. The shingles might look fine from the ground. We trace the leak before we quote the repair. Call (866) 253-8554 for a valley leak evaluation.
Can you match my existing CertainTeed shingles for a partial repair?
We can usually match current Landmark and Presidential Shake colors exactly, and we’ll use genuine CertainTeed starter and ridge accessories so the repair blends and stays warrantable. On older roofs where the line has been discontinued, we’ll tell you straight whether a patch makes sense or replacement is the honest call. Call (866) 253-8554 with your shingle color and we’ll check availability.
Do you install CertainTeed siding and roofing together for fire-resistant upgrades?
Yes. We handle the full exterior envelope: CertainTeed Landmark roofing, Cedar Impressions polymer siding, and Flintlastic underlayment, so a fire-resistant upgrade goes in as one coordinated scope. That’s how San Antonio Heights homes meet county high-fire-severity standards without chopping the project into separate subcontracts.
