Call (866) 217-3967 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Rowland Heights Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes a lot of different roofing products, and they don’t all behave the same way on a hillside. Landmark architectural shingles hold up differently than Presidential Shake, and XT25 three-tabs from a 1970s ranch roof are a different animal entirely. We’ve installed and repaired enough of each to know what works on a south-facing Rowland Heights slope and what doesn’t.
Ruben Ibarra, our owner, grew up in the Sunnymead Ranch area of Moreno Valley and studied construction technology at Riverside City College before spending years on residential and light commercial roofs across the Inland Empire. He’s been on enough Rowland Heights rooflines to know that a roof that looks fine from the street can be hiding cracked underlayment that only leaks during the first big winter storm. As he puts it, “I’ll tell you what the roof needs, not what sounds like a bigger job.”
That’s how we approach CertainTeed sales & service. If a repair will hold, that’s what we recommend. If the underlayment is shot and the decking is soft, we’ll say so and explain why replacement is the sounder call.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Rowland Heights
Here’s what we see most often on CertainTeed roofs in Rowland Heights:
- Granule loss and seal-strip failure on west-facing slopes. Landmark and Presidential shingles on the west side of a Rowland Heights home get hammered by afternoon sun year-round. The asphalt dries, granules shed, and the seal strip loses its grip. Then a Santa Ana wind event lifts the tabs along the ridge and rake edges. We see this constantly on homes in the 91748 ZIP.
- Cracked and blistered XT25/XT30 three-tab shingles. Many Rowland Heights homes built in the 1960s through 1980s still have original CertainTeed three-tab shingles. On south-facing planes, the UV breaks down the asphalt until the shingles crack and blister, opening direct paths for wind-driven rain at pipe penetrations and valleys.
- Failed underlayment under original concrete tile. This is the big one on the older Mediterranean-style homes throughout Rowland Heights. The tile on top can look perfectly intact, but the CertainTeed underlayment beneath it has dried, cracked, and torn over decades of heat. The roof only leaks when a heavy winter storm pushes water past the tile. By then, the decking has often been wet for years.
- Flashing failures at tile-to-shingle transitions. Rowland Heights has a lot of homes where a tile roof ties into a shingle section or chimney wall. That transition is where wind-driven rain works its way under the shingle course edges. We re-flash these junctions regularly.
- Vent boot and pipe collar failures. The rubber boots around plumbing vents and exhaust pipes degrade fast in the Inland Empire heat. On CertainTeed shingle roofs, a cracked boot lets water run directly into the attic long before you see a ceiling stain.
CertainTeed Service in Rowland Heights: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Rowland Heights is not a flat-valley roofing market. The hillside lots, especially up in the Vantage Pointe area, are steep enough that we can’t back a dumpster or a shingle truck up to the roofline. On a typical Vantage Pointe driveway, we stage all CertainTeed material at the bottom of the slope, run a conveyor or hoist, and sequence the tear-off so the old roof comes down in sections the crew can manage without tearing up the landscaping or blocking the whole street. That labor is real, and it shows up in every replacement bid from a contractor who actually knows how to work these streets.
What does that mean for a CertainTeed shingle or tile roof? It means your underlayment and flashing take more abuse than the same roof would in a flat subdivision three miles away. Wind-driven rain hits the ridge and rake edges at an angle. South-facing and west-facing slopes bake all summer. The original 1980s tile roofs around Rowland Heights and in CertainTeed service in Valinda were often installed with underlayment that was never meant to last this long under these conditions. When it fails, the tile above it is usually still in good shape, but the water is already finding the decking.
On a recent Vantage Pointe job, we tore off an original concrete tile roof where the CertainTeed underlayment had turned brittle and cracked, leaking only during the first big winter storm. We staged the new tile and underlayment at the bottom of the slope, hoisted everything up, replaced the failed underlayment, corrected flashing at the chimney and sidewalls, and reset the tile so the home was watertight before the next rain event. That’s the kind of job you don’t learn from a brochure.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Rowland Heights
We service the CertainTeed product lines most common across Rowland Heights housing stock:
- Landmark architectural shingles, including Landmark Pro and Landmark Premium, on newer replacements and 1990s-era homes.
- Presidential Shake luxury shingles on higher-end and custom homes, where the thicker shingle is often paired with steep multi-pitch rooflines that complicate tear-off.
- XT25 and XT30 three-tab shingles on original 1960s – 1980s ranch and two-story homes.
- CertainTeed underlayments, including DiamondDeck and RoofRunner, which we use when re-roofing tile or shingle systems in Rowland Heights.
When we match shingles for a repair, we’re careful about product line and color, not just “close enough.” CertainTeed color options vary by line, and a mismatched patch on a front-facing slope looks like a scar. For Rowland Heights jobs, we keep common Landmark colors on hand and can source the rest from our supplier network quickly, usually without holding up a repair more than a day or two.

- Minor shingle repair (seal-strip re-adhesion, tab replacement, small flashing fix): $350 to $800
- Flashing and vent boot replacement at penetrations or tile transitions: $450 to $1,200
- Tile underlayment replacement on a steep Rowland Heights hillside roof with hoist staging: $1,800 to $4,500+ depending on roof size and access

What drives the cost most in Rowland Heights — and in CertainTeed repair in Walnut — is roof angle and access. A steep Vantage Pointe lot with no staging area at the roofline costs more in labor than a gentle slope with a wide driveway. We give you a written, line-item estimate before any work starts, and it includes the full scope: tear-off, underlayment, shingles or tile reset, flashing, and haul-off.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Rowland Heights
Almost certainly yes. The tile itself rarely fails; what fails is the underlayment beneath it, which has dried and cracked from decades of San Gabriel Valley heat. The leak only shows up when a heavy storm pushes water past the tile and through the cracked underlayment. We see this on original 1980s tile roofs throughout Rowland Heights. Call (866) 217-3967 and we’ll inspect the underlayment condition before you spend money on a full re-roof.
Yes, when the damage is localized. We match the CertainTeed line and color, then carefully lift and replace just the affected shingles without disturbing surrounding sections. But on very steep slopes with older shingles, sometimes a repair window becomes a replacement once we see the underlayment and deck condition. We’ll tell you honestly which applies.
We use manufacturer-spec or equal-quality underlayments, including CertainTeed DiamondDeck and RoofRunner, on tile and shingle re-roofs in Rowland Heights. We won’t substitute thin felt on a hillside roof that already failed once. The underlayment is the actual waterproofing layer on a tile roof, and in this climate it has to be right.
West-facing slopes in Rowland Heights get intense afternoon UV plus reflected heat, which accelerates granule loss and seal-strip breakdown on any asphalt shingle, CertainTeed included. The fix may be as simple as re-adhering tabs and replacing the worst shingles now, or it may be time to plan a full slope replacement. We’ll give you a straight read either way. Call (866) 217-3967 for a free estimate.
Yes. Santa Ana winds hit the ridge, rake, and flashing points hard on Rowland Heights homes, just as they do on Hacienda Heights CertainTeed service calls, especially on hillside lots with no windbreak from neighboring homes. Shingles lift at the edges and flashing loosens, letting wind-driven rain underneath. We check these zones on every Rowland Heights inspection because they fail predictably. Call (866) 217-3967 to have us look before the next wind event.
