CertainTeed Construction in Fontana, CA | Sycamore Contractors
We provide independent CertainTeed construction service across Fontana, CA, handling roof repair, full roof replacement, and exterior work on Landmark shingles, Presidential Shake TL, NorthGate siding, and Flintlastic membrane systems. What makes our CertainTeed work different here is that we sequence it around Fontana’s split housing stock: the 1960s-70s tract homes west of Sierra Avenue that often need seismic retrofit coordination, and the newer east-side builds tied to the logistics corridor. Call (877) 265-6284 for a free estimate on any CertainTeed repair or replacement.
Why Fontana Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Fontana isn’t a single housing market. West of Sierra Avenue, you’ve got 92335 and 92334 tract homes from the 1960s and 70s with original roof decks, undersized attic venting, and stucco exteriors that have baked through fifty Inland Empire summers. East of the 15, 92336 and 92337 are mostly newer master-planned subdivisions and commercial builds where CertainTeed systems are younger but still fail under Santa Ana wind events and heat cycles. We work both sides of town, and we’ve learned what each side’s CertainTeed installations actually do when the temperature hits 105°F in August.
Nate Calloway, our owner, grew up in the Redhawk neighborhood of Temecula and spent years running crews across the Inland Empire before starting Sycamore Contractors. His rule on every roof is simple: do it right the first time, or you’ll do it twice in the July heat. That’s the standard our crews bring to every CertainTeed repair in Bloomington and Fontana job.
We’re an independent contractor. That matters. We are not authorized by CertainTeed, but our crews install and repair their products constantly, which means we know where Landmark shingles fail on west-side tract homes and where NorthGate siding joints crack on east-side stucco transitions. That practical knowledge beats a certificate on the wall. For broader brand context, see our CertainTeed sales & service page.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Fontana
- Granule stripping on Landmark shingles. Older Fontana tract homes on the west side were built with attic ventilation sized for a milder climate. Under 100°F+ summers, the deck cooks, the shingles granule-strip early, and the sealant fails. We see 12- to 15-year-old Landmark roofs in 92335 losing granules like a 25-year roof. The fix usually starts with correcting the venting, not just re-shingling.
- Santa Ana wind lift at rake and ridge edges. When Santa Anas rip through the Cajon Pass, unsupported shingle tabs at the roof edges lift and crease. Older CertainTeed installations on Fontana homes were often hand-nailed with spacing that doesn’t hold up to 60 mph gusts. We re-nail per current code and install proper drip edge and starter courses.
- NorthGate composite siding joint failures after flash-flood rain. Winter storms off the Cajon Pass drive rain sideways. Where NorthGate siding meets stucco on older Fontana homes, the transition was often never flashed correctly. Water gets behind the siding, caulk lines crack, and the siding holds moisture. We pull the bottom courses, inspect the substrate, and re-flash before reinstalling.
- Flintlastic membrane blistering on flat porch and garage tie-ins. Those flat-roof porch and garage additions on west-side Fontana tract homes sit over unvented, heat-soaked decks. Flintlastic seams blister and pull when installed directly over that kind of heat load. We add appropriate venting or insulation before laying new membrane.
- Presidential Shake TL wind damage on east-side builds. Newer Fontana subdivisions in 92336 and 92337 aren’t immune. The heavier Presidential Shake profile catches wind differently, and improperly fastened tabs at gable ends tear off during Santa Ana events. Repairs there are usually localized, but they need to be done before water intrusion spreads.
CertainTeed Service in Fontana: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing most people outside Fontana don’t know: much of the post-war housing west of Sierra Avenue sits on expansive clay soils and was never bolted or braced. That’s a code-driven reality now. When we re-roof a 1968 single-story in the 92335 tract streets west of Sierra Avenue, the city often wants seismic retrofit work done at the same time, adding shear transfer and re-nailing to the roof diaphragm. That changes how we sequence the job. We don’t just tear off old shingles and lay new ones; we re-nail the deck to current bracing code before the new CertainTeed in Rialto and Fontana system goes down. It adds a step, but it means the roof holds structurally, not just cosmetically. On one 1968 single-story in the 92335 tract streets, we tore off a wind-lifted Landmark roof down to the original skip-sheathing, corrected attic venting that had been cooking the deck for decades, and re-nailed the diaphragm for a pending seismic retrofit before laying new Landmark shingles and Flintlastic on the flat porch tie-in. The homeowner got a roof that vents and holds under Santa Anas and a deck that finally meets current bracing code. That’s Fontana-specific work. It doesn’t apply the same way in Murrieta or Rancho Cucamonga.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Fontana
We work on the full CertainTeed roofing and exterior line: Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential Shake TL luxury shingles, NorthGate composite siding, and Flintlastic self-adhered low-slope membranes. When the warranty integrity or color match depends on it, we use CertainTeed OEM shingles, accessories, and membranes. Where aftermarket performs better under Fontana heat, we use quality aftermarket underlayment, flashing, and fasteners. We keep common Landmark colors and Flintlastic rolls stocked for faster Fontana turnaround, so you’re not waiting on a distributor order when a repair can’t wait. We’ll also be straight with you when a localized repair will hold versus when the roof is far enough along that patching just buys months.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Fontana
Sometimes, but it depends on the scope. If we’re doing a full tear-off, the city of Fontana will likely flag the seismic bracing piece, especially on the unbolted post-war homes west of Sierra Avenue. We can re-roof without the full retrofit when the work is limited to shingle replacement over a sound deck. But if the deck is being exposed and re-nailed, we sequence the diaphragm re-nailing first. Call (877) 265-6284 and we’ll tell you exactly what your home triggers.
It’s common on older Fontana tract homes where attic ventilation was sized for a milder climate and the deck has been heat-soaked for a decade. Granule loss at 12 years typically means the roof’s ventilation or original underlayment failed, not the shingle itself. We’ll inspect the deck and venting before recommending a CertainTeed in Glen Avon style repair or replacement. Estimates are free.
For homes in 92336 and 92337 near the foothills and open scrub, a Class A fire-rated CertainTeed in Pedley or Fontana metal or composite system makes sense. Metal holds up better to wind-driven embers and doesn’t granule-strip in heat the way asphalt does. For older tract homes, the roof deck and retrofit sequencing matter more than the material choice. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs on your specific roof.
Flintlastic self-adhered membrane is what we use on low-slope and flat roof sections, especially the porch and garage tie-ins on older west-side Fontana homes. But we address the heat soak first. If the deck is unvented, new Flintlastic will blister faster. We add venting or insulation where needed, then lay the membrane. Call (877) 265-6284 for an exact quote.
We offer a workmanship warranty on our installation. CertainTeed manufacturer warranties on shingles and membranes are separate and tied to the product registration and system specs. We make sure your installation meets the spec required for any applicable CertainTeed warranty to stay intact. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered and what isn’t before we start.
