Fontana’s position at the western edge of the Inland Empire puts it in a unique thermal zone – summer days regularly crack 100°F while winter nights can dip below 40°F. That temperature swing is hard on asphalt shingles. Dylan Pace, who grew up patching roofs in Glassell Park and cut his teeth on postwar L.A. flat roofs, built Crestview Roofing on the idea that homeowners deserve to know exactly what a job costs before a ladder ever touches the house. Every promise in writing – that’s just how we do it.
Why Fontana Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’ve been working with CertainTeed products since Crestview Roofing started in 2000. That means we’ve seen how Landmark Solaris holds up against Fontana’s UV exposure, and we know which underlayment combinations actually work when Santa Ana winds tear through the Fontana service area.
Dylan Pace learned roofing at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, then spent years on every roof type L.A. County throws at you – low-slope torch-down, clay tile, composition shingle. That hands-on background shapes how we approach CertainTeed sales & service today. We don’t send a salesperson to quote your job and a different crew to execute it. The technician who assesses your roof is trained to spot CertainTeed-specific issues: premature granule loss on older Independence lines, thermal splitting in the Valley’s freeze-thaw cycles, and the exact flashing details that prevent leaks around Fontana’s prevalent ranch-style eaves.
We stock OEM-compatible CertainTeed components locally, so we’re not waiting on a warehouse shipment while your exposed decking takes on water. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every repair – if it fails within a year, we come back free. Written price before work starts. Live trackable arrival time. Photo documentation. That’s The Relay Visibility Guarantee, and it applies to every Fontana homeowner we serve.
Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Fontana
- Thermal cracking in Landmark shingles. Fontana’s 60°F+ daily temperature swings in spring and fall stress asphalt shingles at their weakest point – the mat. We’ve replaced hundreds of cracked Landmarks in neighborhoods like Southridge Village where dark-colored roofs absorb maximum heat and cool rapidly after sunset.
- Granule loss accelerated by Santa Ana wind events. CertainTeed’s older 3-tab lines and even some early architectural grades shed granules faster when sustained 40+ mph winds scour the surface. Fontana’s canyon corridors funnel these winds directly onto roof planes. We assess whether the substrate is still viable or if replacement is the honest call.
- Valley leaks in ranch-style homes with shallow pitches. Many Fontana ranches built in the 1970s and 1980s were roofed with CertainTeed 3-tab shingles on 4:12 pitches. The closed-valley installation common then traps debris and backs water up during our brief but intense winter rains. We open valleys and use CertainTeed SwiftStart or comparable ice-and-water shield to fix the root cause.
- Presidential Shake TL blow-off in wind-prone zones. These heavy laminated shingles perform beautifully when nailed correctly, but improper fastener placement – especially common on retrofits where crews rushed through – leads to corner lift. Fontana’s wind corridor along the 210 freeway sees this failure mode more than surrounding cities.
- Flashing deterioration at HVAC penetrations. Fontana’s high cooling loads mean more rooftop HVAC units than comparable inland cities. CertainTeed’s system warranties require compatible flashing; we see a lot of aftermarket caulk jobs that void coverage and leak within two seasons. We use OEM-compatible step flashing and counterflashing, photographed before and after.
CertainTeed Service in Fontana: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here’s something specific to Fontana that shapes every CertainTeed recommendation we make: the city’s rapid eastward expansion during the 1980s and 1990s housing boom means thousands of homes were built with builder-grade CertainTeed 3-tab shingles during an era when fastener schedules were often rushed. In neighborhoods like Sierra Lakes and the areas north of the 210, we regularly find roofs with 20-year shingles that are failing at 12 – 15 years because the original crews used four nails instead of six in high-wind zones, or because they skipped starter strips entirely. We see similar patterns in our San Bernardino Certainteed service area.
Fontana’s climate makes this worse. The city sits in a rain shadow relative to the San Gabriel Mountains, so it doesn’t get L.A.’s coastal moisture – but when storms do hit, they hit hard and fast. A roof with compromised fastening can’t handle that sudden load. We also see accelerated UV degradation on south-facing slopes in the newer developments west of Citrus Avenue, where reflective heat off concrete and stucco walls creates micro-climates that CertainTeed’s standard warranty language doesn’t quite account for. The same issue shows up in our Certainteed service in Ontario. When we quote a replacement in these areas, we spec Landmark Solaris or CoolStar reflective options that buy homeowners extra thermal performance without jumping to full tile.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Fontana
We work with the full CertainTeed residential line, including discontinued models where OEM-compatible parts are still available:
- Landmark Series – Landmark, Landmark Pro, Landmark Premium, and Landmark Solaris reflective shingles. Most common in Fontana’s 1990s – 2000s builds.
- Presidential Series – Presidential Shake and Presidential Shake TL. Heavy laminated profiles popular in Sierra Lakes and custom homes.
- NorthGate – SBS-modified asphalt for impact resistance. We recommend these for Fontana homes with mature trees or near golf courses.
- 3-Tab Lines – CT 20, XT 25, and earlier discontinued lines. We stock compatible replacement shingles for spot repairs where full replacement isn’t warranted.
- Underlayments & Accessories – DiamondDeck synthetic underlayment, WinterGuard ice-and-water shield, SwiftStart starter strips, and Ridge Vent foam profiles.
We clarify this explicitly: Crestview Roofing is an independent CertainTeed service provider. We are not a CertainTeed-certified installer, not affiliated with the manufacturer, and not authorized to represent them. We use OEM-compatible or genuine CertainTeed materials based on availability and what serves the homeowner’s best interest. Our parts are sourced through regional distributors with Fontana-area inventory and for Certainteed in Riverside, so most repairs don’t face multi-day delays.
CertainTeed Service Pricing in Fontana
These are real ranges for Fontana-area work, based on 2024 – 2025 material costs and local labor rates:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Standard repair (flashing, small leak, shingle replacement) | $180 – $340 |
| Moderate repair (valley rebuild, multiple penetrations, partial decking) | $450 – $850 |
| Landmark shingle replacement, 1,800 sq ft ranch | $8,500 – $11,500 |

| Full redeck + upgraded underlayment | Add $2,500 – $4,000 |
What drives cost: roof pitch (steeper = more labor), layer count (tear-off vs. overlay), decking condition, and accessibility. We don’t quote overlays on CertainTeed replacements – it’s false economy in Fontana’s climate, and we won’t put our name on it.
Every estimate includes a written line-item price, photo documentation of existing conditions, and a clear scope. No change orders unless you request additional work. Call (325) 246-5075 for your free estimate – we’ll give you the exact number before any work starts.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Fontana
No. Crestview Roofing is an independent service provider with no manufacturer affiliation. We use OEM-compatible or genuine CertainTeed materials based on what’s best for your specific repair or replacement, and we explain the sourcing on every quote.
We use genuine CertainTeed materials when available and cost-effective; OEM-compatible alternatives when the genuine part is discontinued or the price difference doesn’t serve the homeowner. We document exactly what goes on your roof, and we never substitute without your approval in writing.
Most standard repairs are completed in 2 – 4 hours. Full replacements run 1 – 3 days depending on size, pitch, and weather. We don’t work in rain or sustained winds above 25 mph – it’s not safe and the shingle warranty requires dry installation. You’ll get a written timeline with your quote, and we text photo updates at key milestones.
We maintain inventory for Landmark (all grades), Presidential Shake, NorthGate, and common 3-tab lines. For discontinued models like early Horizon or Independence runs, we source compatible matches through regional distributors. If we can’t match it reasonably, we’ll tell you straight and recommend full replacement options.
Most Fontana homeowners with a standard 1,800 – 2,200 sq ft home and Landmark-grade shingles invest between $8,500 and $14,000 for a complete tear-off and replacement with upgraded underlayment. Steeper pitches, complex rooflines, or decking replacement push toward the higher end. Call (325) 246-5075 – we’ll assess your specific roof and deliver a written quote with no obligation.
