CertainTeed Construction in Mentone, CA | Daly City Construction
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing, siding, and exterior construction service across Mentone, and the single thing that separates our CertainTeed work here from a flat-valley job is fire hardening. A Class A shingle alone does not make a Mentone roof compliant when Santa Ana winds push embers into unscreened vents. We are not authorized, sponsored, or warranted by CertainTeed. We are a licensed general contractor who installs and repairs their systems correctly for this specific fire-weather environment. Call (866) 505-5254 for a free estimate on any CertainTeed project in Mentone.
Why Mentone Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes a deep product line, and we know which assemblies actually hold up at this elevation and wind exposure. We work with Landmark PRO and Landmark architectural asphalt shingles, Presidential Shake and Presidential Solaris impact-rated shingles, plus Northwoods and Cedar Impressions fiber cement siding, and Symphony and Monogram polymer siding. Our team does both the tear-off and the detail work: starter strips, ridge vent, hip-and-ridge, flashing terminations. Noel Cabrera, our owner, trained in construction technology at City College of San Francisco and spent years framing and roofing residential jobs across San Mateo County before building Daly City Construction into a full-scope general contracting operation. He approaches a Mentone CertainTeed job the way he learned to: check what is underneath first, then choose the material that fits. For a complete look at our CertainTeed scope, see our CertainTeed sales & service page.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Mentone
- Lifted and creased Landmark tabs after Santa Ana events. CertainTeed Landmark shingles rely on seal-down adhesive strips to bond, and on shaded or north-facing roof planes in Mentone that bond often never fully sets. The first strong wind through the Crafton Hills lifts the tabs, creases them, and then the roof starts wearing like it is ten years older than it is. We can repair individual tabs when the decking and underlayment are sound, not just quote a full replacement.
- Ember entry through unscreened ridge and off-ridge vents. Mentone sits in a high-fire-severity zone, and ember-resistant vent detailing is a hard requirement here. A CertainTeed roof installed with unscreened vents is only half code-compliant regardless of shingle class. We correct vent screening and eave return details before the fire weather returns.
- Failed sealant at flashing terminations and pipe boots from winter freezes. At Mentone’s elevation, a hard freeze expands and contracts the sealant beads at CertainTeed flashing terminations. Cracked sealant then lets the first Santa Ana-driven rain into the attic. We replace with compatible flashing and proper sealant, not a smear of whatever caulk is in the truck.
- Fiber cement and polymer siding over missing weather-resistive barrier. Many of Mentone’s mid-century ranch homes carry original sheathing with thin or absent barrier behind the siding. Northwoods and Cedar Impressions lines fail early when freeze-thaw swings drive water through butt joints. We inspect what is behind the siding before we quote a re-side.
- Roof assemblies that can not be brought to fire-hardened standard. Sometimes a Mentone roof has seen so many patched repairs that the decking, underlayment, and venting all need to be redone to meet current fire code. In those cases a full CertainTeed replacement is the cheaper long-term fix, and we quote it honestly with line items.
CertainTeed Service in Mentone: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is the Mentone-specific detail nobody brings up until a permit stalls. Mentone’s parcels are largely on private wells, and San Bernardino County ties any addition or occupancy increase, including a kitchen or bath remodel that adds a bedroom or an ADU, to a well-flow and septic capacity review. So a CertainTeed-clad exterior project here can sit waiting on water and wastewater sign-off that a city-served Redlands or Highland job never triggers. We ran into exactly this on a ranch property off Crafton Hills, where a covered-patio permit required pulling the homeowner’s well and septic records before the county would close it out. During that same job we tore off a worn 1990s three-tab roof and installed a CertainTeed Landmark PRO system with ember-resistant ridge vent screening, Class A underlayment, and hot-dip galvanized flashing after the Santa Ana season had lifted several tabs on the windward slope. Teardown revealed rotted fascia and a section of decking softened by a leaking pipe boot, which we replaced and re-inspected before dry-in. If you are planning a CertainTeed roof or exterior project on a Mentone well-and-septic property, budget time for that review, or let us flag it early so it does not surprise you later. Our full Mentone coverage is outlined on the Mentone service area page.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Mentone
We service and install the CertainTeed lines that make sense for Mentone’s fire and freeze exposure: Landmark PRO and Landmark architectural shingles for Class A fire-rated systems, Presidential Shake and Presidential Solaris impact-rated shingles for wind-driven debris, Northwoods and Cedar Impressions fiber cement siding for noncombustible exterior walls, and Symphony and Monogram polymer siding where repaint cycles matter. On parts, we use CertainTeed-branded accessories such as ridge vent, starter, hip-and-ridge, and matching underlayment where the system warranty depends on them, and quality aftermarket flashing and hot-dip galvanized fasteners where corrosion resistance matters more than the label. We do not fake OEM where it does not matter, and we do not skip it where it does.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Mentone
No. A Class A fire-rated shingle is one part of the assembly, but Mentone’s high-fire-severity zone also requires ember-resistant vent screening, proper eave and ridge detailing, and noncombustible or ignition-resistant materials at vulnerable points. We inspect the whole assembly, not just the shingle label. Call (866) 505-5254 for an inspection if you are not sure what your current roof has.
Because most of Mentone is on private wells and septic systems, and San Bernardino County ties occupancy increases or added bedrooms to a well-flow and septic capacity review. Any remodel that adds a bedroom or an ADU can stall on that sign-off. We flag it during the estimate so it does not hit you after framing starts. For an exact scope and cost on your project, call (866) 505-5254.
Yes, if the decking and underlayment are sound. Lifted tabs are often a seal-down adhesive failure on shaded or north-facing planes, and we can replace the affected shingles and re-bond the surrounding course. If the deck is soft or the underlayment is shot, the repair quote becomes a replacement conversation. Call (866) 505-5254 and we will inspect before recommending either.
Often yes. Standing seam metal roofs carry excellent fire performance and shed embers and Santa Ana-driven debris better than most shingle assemblies. On steep hillside lots with hard access, metal also removes the constant tab-repair cycle that certain CertainTeed shingle planes develop here. We quote both and lay out the trade-offs. Call (866) 505-5254 for a comparison estimate.
Yes. When a CertainTeed system warranty is in play, using their branded ridge vent, starter, hip-and-ridge, and matching underlayment is part of the warranty chain. We use them where the warranty depends on them, and we use quality aftermarket stainless or hot-dip galvanized flashing where corrosion resistance matters more than the label. That is what independent service should mean: honest material choices, not brand theater. Call (866) 505-5254 if you want the straight version for your roof.
