CertainTeed Construction in Santa Ana, CA | Sycamore Contractors
CertainTeed construction service in Santa Ana means repairing and replacing roofs, siding, and exterior systems on some of Orange County’s oldest housing stock, and doing it to the standard the material demands. We’re Sycamore Contractors, an independent general contractor working across Santa Ana’s 92701, 92702, 92735, and 92799 ZIP codes. What separates our CertainTeed work here is that we install and service these products on 1920s Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Colonial cottages every week, not on suburban tract homes with predictable framing. Call (877) 265-6284 for service that accounts for your home’s actual age and bones.
Why Santa Ana Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes a lot of products across roofing and siding categories, and most contractors only touch the one or two lines they stock. We work across the board: Landmark PRO architectural asphalt, Presidential Shake, Cedar Impressions vinyl siding, Grand Manor luxury shingles, and the underlayments and ventilation components that go with them. That matters because your 1930s bungalow on a narrow lot doesn’t have the same roof structure as a 2005 tract house in Irvine, and the product choice has to account for that—whether you need CertainTeed service in Tustin or work here in Santa Ana.
We’re not a CertainTeed authorized dealer, and we don’t pretend to be. We’re an independent contractor that handles CertainTeed sales & service because the product lines perform well when installed correctly on the right structure. Nate Calloway, who leads Sycamore Contractors, spent his early years in construction learning what holds up under Southern California heat and what doesn’t. That’s the lens we bring to Santa Ana jobs: material honesty over brand loyalty.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Santa Ana
- Landmark PRO sealant strip failure on sun-facing slopes. The hot, dry Santa Ana winds that give this city its name beat on south and west roof exposures for months at a time. We see the granulate wear down and the sealant strips unseal prematurely on Landmark PRO shingles, especially in the 92701-to-92707 corridor. The shingles then lift in the first heavy winter rain. Repair usually means replacing the affected field before water gets under the deck.
- Dried-out organic-mat shingles on pre-1950 homes. Many original Santa Ana roofs were organic-mat CertainTeed shingles or cedar shake. Decades of UV have dry-cracked and curled them, but the bigger problem is often the dried battens and failed underlayment underneath. The visible shingles fail last; the system underneath goes first. We strip to the deck to see what’s actually there.
- Cedar Impressions siding chalk and fade on Craftsman and Spanish Colonial facades. Santa Ana’s sun scorches vinyl siding on unshaded east- and south-facing elevations. Older Cedar Impressions installations chalk, fade, and lose their wood-grain definition. Trapped moisture behind the vinyl also rots original redwood fascia and rafter tails, which the siding hides until we open the wall up.
- Heat-trapped attic assemblies under Grand Manor and Presidential Shake. These heavier, higher-profile shingles hold more heat, and many older Santa Ana homes have had insulation added over the years without a matching ridge vent. The deck cooks from below, shingle life drops by years, and nobody knows until a wind storm pulls a section off.
- Skip-sheathing under old cedar shake that can’t carry modern shingle weight. A lot of Santa Ana’s older roofs were built with spaced boards, not solid decking. You can’t lay architectural shingles over gaps. We re-deck before installing anything, and we catch undersized framing before it becomes a structural problem.
CertainTeed Service in Santa Ana: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing nobody tells you until a roof is torn off: in the older neighborhoods around downtown Santa Ana (92701) and the Washington Square and Lacy areas, the original redwood and fir roof framing is often still perfectly sound but undersized by modern engineering standards. Those 1920s and 1930s carpenters built for cedar shake, which is lighter than today’s architectural asphalt. When a homeowner wants to replace worn shake with a heavier CertainTeed product like Grand Manor or even Landmark PRO, the framing may need to be sistered and reinforced before a single shingle goes down. We’ve seen this repeatedly on homes around Washington Square specifically, where a well-meaning roofer could lay shingles over an under-built frame and create a sagging deck within a few years. Doing it right in Santa Ana—or finding CertainTeed repair in North Tustin—means checking the framing math first. Do it right the first time, or you’ll do it twice in the July heat.
On a 1920s Craftsman cottage off French Street near downtown, we stripped a dried-out CertainTeed organic-mat roof down to skip-sheathing and found exactly this: original fir rafters that were undersized for the heavier Landmark PRO replacement the owner wanted. We sistered and reinforced the framing to plan, re-decked, finished with new underlayment and ridge venting, and gave the owner a roof that handles Santa Ana wind uplift and summer heat without fighting the house’s age.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Santa Ana
Our General Contractor in Santa Ana crews work with the full CertainTeed roofing and exterior product range: Landmark PRO architectural asphalt shingles, Presidential Shake and Presidential Solaris polymer shake, Cedar Impressions vinyl siding in both triple 5″ and shake profiles, and Grand Manor luxury asphalt shingles. We also service the supporting components: underlayments, ice-and-water barriers, ridge venting, and drip edge.
When a repair calls for matching, we use CertainTeed-manufactured shingles, underlayments, and accessory products. When a generic component performs just as well for less, we’ll say so and use it. That’s especially true for ice-and-water shield and drip edge, where paying the brand premium adds nothing on a Santa Ana roof. On a 20-plus-year-old CertainTeed roof over failing decking, we’ll tell you honestly if a few hundred dollars in patches is false economy versus a full replacement.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Santa Ana
No, and any contractor who says otherwise is cutting corners on your roof’s life. Shingles need a solid, continuous deck to seal and hold, and old cedar shake roofs on Santa Ana bungalows are typically skip-sheathed with gaps between boards. We strip the shake, inspect the framing, re-deck as needed, and only then install Landmark PRO with proper underlayment and ventilation. Your roof will last decades longer for it. Call (877) 265-6284 if you want a straight answer on what your particular roof needs.
Depends on the shingle line and how old the roof is. On a younger Landmark PRO roof, lifting shingles usually mean failed sealant strips, which we can re-adhere or replace in a repair under $1,800. On a 15-plus-year-old roof where the granulate is worn and the mat is visible, you’re looking at replacement sooner rather than later. We’ll tell you which one you have. Call (877) 265-6284 for an inspection and exact quote.
Yes. Presidential Shake and Presidential Solaris are polymer shake products designed to replicate the look of heavy hand-split wood, and they’re a common choice on Santa Ana’s Spanish Colonial and Craftsman homes. They carry more weight than flat architectural shingles, so we always check the framing capacity first on older houses. If the structure can’t handle it, we’ll tell you before you buy anything.
Because insulation slows heat entering the living space, but it traps heat in the attic cavity itself. Older Santa Ana homes rarely have adequate ridge or soffit venting, and modern insulation added over the years makes the problem worse. That trapped heat cooks the roof deck from underneath and shortens shingle life significantly. The fix is usually ventilation: ridge venting, intake vents, and sometimes additional roof or gable ventilation. We assess this as part of every CertainTeed roof job in Santa Ana.
Yes, and often we find the fascia needs work once we open up the roof edge. Original redwood fascia and rafter tails on pre-1950 Santa Ana homes get dry-rotted over decades, and they’re usually where roof leaks show up first. We repair or replace gutters, fascia, and soffit as part of the same scope rather than sending you to a separate contractor. Call (877) 265-6284 and we’ll include it in your free estimate.
