CertainTeed Roofing in Highland, CA | Hawk Roof Repair
We’re an independent CertainTeed roofing service provider handling repair and replacement work across Highland, CA. The one thing that makes our CertainTeed work here different: we know this city’s dual threat profile. Highland sits in a wind corridor where Santa Ana gusts exceed 60 mph, and summer UV bakes roofs to 100°F-plus. Those two forces fail CertainTeed shingles in very specific, predictable ways, and we’ve spent years learning exactly where each failure shows up. Call (877) 731-1384 for a free inspection and straight diagnosis.
Why Highland Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We work on CertainTeed roofs constantly here, which means we know how these shingles behave under Highland conditions. Not just in theory. We’ve pulled back creased Landmark shingles after wind events, documented granule loss on Presidential lines, and mapped where flashing fails first when the thermal cycling kicks in. Noel Ibarra, our owner, grew up in the Inland Empire and came up through Chaffey College’s construction trades program. He built CertainTeed sales & service expertise the slow way: on rooftops, not in a showroom. When a problem shows up on your ridge line, we can usually tell you whether it’s wind lift, bad nailing, or heat stress before we even get the ladder set. And we’re local to Highland service area work, which means the response is faster and the diagnosis is informed by years of seeing this city’s specific roof conditions.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Highland
- Wind-creased Landmark shingles along ridges and gable ends. Santa Ana events come through the Cajon Pass and hit east Highland hard. Shingles nailed high or with too few fasteners crease and lift, opening seams for water and ember intrusion. We re-nail with six fasteners per shingle when the deck allows it, then reseal. This is the most common CertainTeed repair we do after fall windstorms.
- Granule loss on south- and west-facing Presidential slopes. Highland summers routinely exceed 100°F, and the UV load here is fierce. After 15 to 20 years, Presidential shingles on those exposures shed granules like sand. Once the asphalt layer starts showing, the shingle’s done. We match replacement shingles to the remaining roof and check for deeper deck damage while we’re up there.
- Ember intrusion through standard vents and tile underlayment gaps. Highland’s wildland fire exposure means Class A assemblies and ember-resistant vents aren’t a luxury. We see older CertainTeed tile roofs with standard vents and worn underlayment, which is a genuine fire risk every fall. We swap in ember-rated vents and high-wind synthetic underlayment during repairs and replacements.
- Flashing failures around chimneys and skylights. Thermal cycling from 100°F days to cold desert nights works flashing loose over time. CertainTeed shingle roofs in Highland tend to fail at the corners first, especially on 1950s-1980s tract homes where the original flashing has never been touched. We strip, inspect, and reseal or replace the flashing before it leaks.
- Second- and third-layer tear-off complications. Many Highland homes built before 1990 are still carrying two or three layers of shingles. When the CertainTeed layer on top starts failing, we’re often pulling everything down to the deck for inspection, because adding another layer compounds the wind-uplift problem this city already has.
CertainTeed Service in Highland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
The thing most people don’t realize about Highland is that the same ZIP code has two different roof-failure patterns, and they don’t overlap much. East-side neighborhoods off Baseline take the brunt of the wind coming through the Cajon Pass. After any significant Santa Ana event, you’ll find shingles creased and lifted along ridges and gable ends on those streets. Go north toward the foothills instead, where the homes are tucked closer to the San Bernardino slope, and the wind has less room to build up speed. Those roofs bake in direct sun and fail by granule loss and UV breakdown on the same slopes that face south and west. We’ve done enough work in both zones to know that a one-size repair approach doesn’t work. A homeowner off Baseline needs the ridge inspected and re-nailed. A homeowner near the foothills needs the south slope evaluated for shingle deterioration. If water found a way in, there’s a reason, and we’ll show you exactly where. That’s the inspection-first standard we hold to on every job.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Highland
We service all the major CertainTeed shingle lines commonly installed in Highland: Landmark, Presidential, Grand Manor, and Carriage House. Landmark is the one we see most on the 1950s-1980s tract homes, and Presidential shows up on larger custom builds from the 1990s onward. Grand Manor and Carriage House are less common here but turn up on higher-end homes in the northern foothill areas. For parts, we use CertainTeed OEM shingles and accessories whenever they’re still being manufactured, because the color match and warranty compliance matter. But we don’t default to factory underlayments or flashing when a better product exists. Highland’s wind and fire exposure means we often upgrade to high-wind synthetic underlayments and ember-rated vents during repairs, even if the original CertainTeed spec didn’t call for them. The shingles stay CertainTeed. The components underneath get modernized.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Highland
Walk the perimeter of your home and look at the ridge line and gable ends. Wind-damaged shingles will appear creased, lifted at the edges, or missing entirely. You may also find shingle tabs scattered in your yard after a storm. If you see any of that, call (877) 731-1384 and we’ll document the damage and scope the repair before quoting anything.
CertainTeed’s asphalt shingle lines can be installed as part of a Class A fire-rated assembly when paired with the right underlayments, venting, and flashing, which is what we recommend for Highland. Many older CertainTeed in San Bernardino area homes were installed without ember-resistant vents. That’s a code and safety gap we address during replacements.
We’ll always assess repair viability first. If the damage is localized, like a creased ridge cap or a handful of wind-lifted shingles, a targeted repair makes sense and extends the roof’s life. If the shingles are losing granules across large sections or the deck underneath is compromised, CertainTeed repair in Muscoy and surrounding areas means a full replacement is the honest answer. We’ll show you the evidence either way. Call (877) 731-1384 to schedule an inspection.
For Highland’s wind and wildland fire exposure, we use high-wind-rated synthetic underlayments that meet or exceed code instead of standard felt. This applies especially on CertainTeed in Redlands style tile roofs, where the underlayment is doing the real waterproofing work beneath the tiles. Our recommendation is based on what’s passed inspection after the last several Santa Ana seasons.
We strip the area around the flashing, inspect the underlayment seam, and replace the flashing with materials that expand and contract with thermal cycling. Then we reseal the seam and re-bed any shingles that were disturbed. This is one of the most common CertainTeed service in Loma Linda and Highland leak-prevention repairs on homes built between the 1950s and 1980s. Call (877) 731-1384 for an exact quote.
