CertainTeed Construction in Highgrove, CA | Sycamore Contractors
We’re an independent CertainTeed contractor serving Highgrove, California – not authorized by CertainTeed, but working with their roofing systems on the community’s unincorporated parcels every week. For General Contractor – Highgrove projects, we handle everything from roof repair to full exterior work. Highgrove’s combination of inland heat, Santa Ana wind events, and Riverside County permit requirements changes how CertainTeed materials get installed and repaired here, and that’s the work we do. Call (877) 265-6284 for a free estimate on CertainTeed roof repair, replacement, or storm damage work.
Why Highgrove Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Most roofing crews in this part of Riverside County will install whatever shingle line is on the truck. We take a different approach – we quote CertainTeed materials on their merits, their warranty terms, and how they actually perform on Highgrove’s older semi-rural lots. Nate Calloway grew up in Temecula’s Redhawk neighborhood and spent two decades running crews across Southwest Riverside County before starting Sycamore Contractors. He’ll tell you a Landmark Pro holds up better than a three-tab on a south-facing slope, and he’ll also tell you when a premium Presidential line is overkill for a rental property you’re re-roofing. That’s the kind of straight answer we bring to CertainTeed sales & service in Highgrove.
We’re local enough to know that a permit question in Highgrove goes to the county, not a city hall. We keep that in mind from the first measurement to the final inspection. And because we’re one of the few general contractors covering the full exterior envelope – roofing, siding, windows, gutters – we catch the flashing and underlayment problems that a shingle-only crew misses.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Highgrove
- Sun-baked Landmark and XT shingles granulating on south- and west-facing slopes. Highgrove gets the full inland Riverside summer, and repeated hot, dry years bake the granules right off older CertainTeed shingles. Once the granule layer goes, the mat underneath starts breaking down from UV exposure. We replace those sections with matching shingles before decking gets exposed.
- Santa Ana wind lifting tabs and tearing ridge caps on exposed roofs. Highgrove’s larger unincorporated lots sit open to wind events that roll down the Santa Ana River corridor. Wind lifts shingle tabs, creases them, and tears ridge caps off entirely. We re-secure underlayment at the eave and rake and install new caps that actually hold.
- Flashing and underlayment failure around chimneys, swamp coolers, and porch transitions. Highgrove has a lot of older small-footprint houses with add-on porches and older vent penetrations. When flashing fails around those transitions, water gets behind the shingles and rots decking and fascia. We address the penetration, not just the visible shingle damage.
- Tree-limb abrasion and debris gouging on semi-rural parcels. Highgrove’s larger lots mean trees hang over roofs. Falling limbs scuff and gouge CertainTeed shingles and ridge caps, and dropped debris holds moisture against the surface. We do targeted repairs that blend with the existing roof.
- Wind-driven dust working under lifted shingle edges. During Santa Ana events, dust from the river corridor and open lots gets under any lifted edge and works its way into the roof system. It’s not just cosmetic – the grit accelerates wear on underlayment. We reset edges and seal them properly.
CertainTeed Service in Highgrove: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Highgrove sits in unincorporated Riverside County, and that fact shapes every CertainTeed project we run here. Roof permits, inspections, and any re-roof or addition work go through the Riverside County building department – not a city hall in Colton or Grand Terrace. For our crews, that means sequencing work around the county’s inspection schedule, documenting underlayment and flashing before shingles cover them, and knowing that a larger rural-residential lot on the north side of Highgrove will have different setback and defensible-space requirements than a tight city lot. On a job off one of those semi-rural parcels near the Santa Ana River corridor, our crew was called after a wind event stripped ridge caps and lifted Landmark shingle tabs along an exposed eave – and heat-baked granules were already showing on a south-facing slope. We replaced the damaged sections with matching Landmark shingles, reset the underlayment at the lifted edges, addressed a vent penetration that had been letting in wind-driven dust, and ran the whole re-roof through the county’s permit and inspection path. That’s not a generic roof job. That’s a Highgrove roof job.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Highgrove
We work on the full range of CertainTeed roofing systems, and we install genuine CertainTeed shingles and accessories that match the existing product line and color lot. That means your repair blends and your manufacturer warranty stays intact. We install Landmark architectural shingles – standard, Landmark Pro, and the impact-rated Landmark IR – along with the older XT 25 and XT 30 three-tab lines still found on many Highgrove roofs. We also quote and install Presidio, Presidential, and Grand Manor premium architectural lines, and we use Flintlastic SA self-adhered underlayment on low-slope transitions and porch roofs. We stock common Landmark colors locally for fast turnaround on Highgrove repairs, and we special-order premium colors when the match requires it.
CertainTeed Service Pricing in Highgrove
Roof work in Highgrove costs what it costs because of three things: the size and pitch of your roof, the CertainTeed product line you select, and the condition of the decking and underlayment underneath. A small targeted repair on a Landmark roof runs less than a full replacement with premium shingles. Here’s what to expect across the market here:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 – $40,000 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600 – $2,500 |
Every estimate we write is a free, line-item quote. You’ll see materials, labor, dump fees, and permit costs broken out – no lump sum and no surprises after the first tear-off. Call (877) 265-6284 to schedule yours.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Highgrove
Yes. Because Highgrove is unincorporated Riverside County, your re-roof permit comes from the county building department, not a city hall. Our crews handle the permit paperwork and schedule inspections around the county’s timeline, so you don’t have to figure out that process alone. Call (877) 265-6284 and we’ll walk you through what your specific roof needs.
They hold up better than most three-tabs, but no shingle is immune to Highgrove conditions. Landmark shingles have a heavier mat and stronger granule adhesion than XT lines, which helps on south-facing slopes. The key is proper installation – underlayment secured at the eave and rake, ridge caps nailed correctly, and flashing sealed at every penetration. We install them that way, not the quick way.
If the shingles are granule-depleted and curling on the south and west slopes, replacement is usually the honest answer. XT 25 was a good shingle in its day, but Highgrove’s heat shortens that lifespan. If the damage is isolated – a wind-lifted section or a single penetration leak – we’ll do a targeted repair. Call (877) 265-6284 for an honest assessment; the estimate is free either way.
It changes what we recommend. On larger semi-rural Highgrove parcels near the Santa Ana River corridor, ember exposure at the roof edge and defensible-space zone is a real concern. We may recommend Landmark IR impact-rated shingles or a Class A assembly with proper underlayment depending on your parcel’s exposure. We’ll tell you plainly when a standard product line is the wrong fit for your lot.
Usually, yes. We stock common Landmark colors locally and special-order premium or discontinued colors when needed. The goal is a repair that blends with the rest of the roof and keeps your existing manufacturer warranty intact. Call (877) 265-6284 with your shingle details and we’ll confirm the match before quoting.
