CertainTeed Construction in Upland, CA | Daly City Construction
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing, siding, and trim service across Upland, from the 91786 flats to the foothill homes of 91784. The one thing that makes our CertainTeed work here different: we know how the expansive adobe clay under Upland’s older ranch tracts moves, and we install and repair CertainTeed products to handle that movement. Call (866) 505-5254 and we’ll walk you through what your roof actually needs.
Why Upland Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Noel Cabrera, our owner, spent years framing and renovating fog-weathered homes before turning his attention to the dry, windy conditions that define Upland. He knows that a roof here does not fail the same way a roof in the Bay Area fails, and he trains our crews to look for the local failure patterns first. We have installed and repaired CertainTeed Landmark shingles, Presidential Shake, Cedar Impressions siding, and vinyl siding on hundreds of Upland homes. That hands-on CertainTeed sales & service experience means we know which models hold up in this climate and which ones need extra attention at the flashing and fastener points.
We are an independent contractor. We are not a CertainTeed manufacturer affiliate or authorized dealer. That independence lets us give you straight answers about when a targeted repair makes sense and when a full replacement is the honest call. We use CertainTeed OEM accessories and fasteners whenever they are available, and for older or discontinued lines, we source aftermarket equivalents that meet or exceed the original specifications. Our coverage stretches across all of Upland service area ZIP codes: 91784, 91785, and 91786.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Upland
- Landmark shingle granule loss from Santa Ana winds. The intense UV and wind-driven grit on Upland’s exposed roof faces strip granules off Landmark shingles faster than most homeowners expect. Once the asphalt layer is exposed, wind resistance drops and leaks follow. We see this most on south- and west-facing slopes.
- Presidential Shake thermal cracking. Upland’s hot days and cool nights put the shadow lines on Presidential Shake under constant expansion and contraction. The result is hairline cracking and seal failure that lets water creep in during winter rain. A targeted seal repair can buy years, but we always check the decking beneath.
- Cedar Impressions siding warping and fading. Prolonged sun exposure on south- and west-facing walls causes Cedar Impressions siding to warp, especially where it butts against window trim or corner posts. Fading is cosmetic, but warping opens gaps where moisture gets behind the siding and into the framing.
- Fastener corrosion and flashing deterioration. Upland’s dry summers and occasional winter downpours create a wet-dry cycle that eats through cheap fasteners and flashing. On older CertainTeed installations, we routinely replace corroded fasteners and re-flash penetrations before the leak becomes a ceiling stain.
- Nail pops and shingle fractures tied to foundation movement. In the 91786 flats, original slab-on-grade foundations shift with the clay soil, and that movement transmits up through the framing to the roof deck. The shingles themselves crack or the fasteners back out. This needs more than a cosmetic repair; the fastening pattern has to be re-engineered for the movement.
CertainTeed Service in Upland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is the part that generic CertainTeed pages miss. Upland sits on an alluvial fan at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. The soil in the 91786 flats is rocky and expansive, and the post-WWII ranch homes there were built on slab-on-grade foundations with no post-tensioning. When the Santa Ana winds blow through each fall, they do not just hammer the roof, they desiccate the clay below the slab. The clay shrinks. The slab cracks. And that movement travels up through the wall framing and into the roof structure. We see nail pops in straight lines, shingle fractures that follow the rafter pattern, and ridge lines that look warped from the street. A roofer who only looks at the shingles will miss the cause. We look down at the slab first. It is the single most important local factor for CertainTeed roof performance in Upland, and it is milder just a few miles south in Rancho Cucamonga CertainTeed service areas where the soils drain differently.
Recently we completed a CertainTeed Landmark roof replacement on a 1960s ranch home in the 91786 flats, where the original slab foundation had shifted and caused widespread shingle cracking and nail pops. After inspecting the decking and reinforcing the underlayment, we installed new Landmark shingles with enhanced fastening to accommodate the structural movement, and the homeowner reported no further issues through the following Santa Ana season. That is the difference between replacing a roof and fixing the reason the roof failed.

That includes Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential Shake and Presidential Shake TL designer shingles, Cedar Impressions polymer siding in every profile, and CertainTeed vinyl siding.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Upland
Upland’s expansive clay soil shrinks during dry Santa Ana periods and swells after rain, causing slab movement that transmits into the roof framing. We account for this by reinforcing the underlayment and adjusting fastening patterns on homes in the 91786 flats so the shingles can flex without cracking or popping. We also offer CertainTeed repair in Montclair. Call (866) 505-5254 for an exact assessment, your estimate is free.
Yes, Landmark shingles can perform well in Santa Ana winds when installed correctly, but the key is the fastening and the decking beneath. We often add fasteners in Upland installations to handle the sustained wind gusts that hit foothill homes in 91784. A standard installation from a less experienced crew can hold up fine in normal weather and fail when the winds hit 60 mph.
For foothill homes that take full sun and wind exposure, we usually recommend Presidential Shake TL if the budget allows, or Landmark with enhanced fastening as a strong mid-range option. The foothill lots are sloped, so drainage and flashing details matter as much as the shingle choice. We will give you both options with line-item pricing and explain the trade-offs.
Twice a year works best in Upland. Once after the winter rains to catch any leak damage, and once after the first major Santa Ana event of the fall to check for granule loss, nail pops, and flashing movement. Early repairs cost hundreds; deferred repairs cost thousands. Estimates are free, so call (866) 505-5254.
Yes, we repair Cedar Impressions and CertainTeed vinyl siding that has warped, faded, or separated from the wall due to prolonged sun exposure. We replace the damaged sections with matching or comparable material, and we check the house wrap and flashing behind the siding so you do not get a hidden moisture problem. Call (866) 505-5254 with photos and we will give you a straight answer.
