CertainTeed Construction in Highland, CA | Daly City Construction
We install and repair CertainTeed roofing systems across Highland, and we’re an independent contractor, not a CertainTeed affiliate. Our crews have been working with CertainTeed Landmark shingles, Shadow Ridge caps, and WeatherBoys underlayment on Highland homes for long enough to know that a roof assembly that passes on a flat valley lot can fail inspection three blocks north in the WUI zone. If you’re planning a reroof, repair, or metal roof in the 92346, call (866) 505-5254 for a free estimate.
We’re Daly City Construction, led by Noel Cabrera. We handle the full CertainTeed roofing scope here: CertainTeed sales & service, tear-off and replacement, repair, and metal roofing. One crew, one point of contact, one warranty conversation.
Why Highland Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Noel grew up around Daly City’s postwar tract homes, where he learned early that a roof is only as good as what’s under it. That instinct carries straight into Highland work, where a 1970s stucco house with skip sheathing demands a different CertainTeed underlayment approach than a 1990s tract roof with solid decking. We read the manufacturer’s spec sheets line by line before we load the truck. Not because we’re cautious. Because CertainTeed’s warranty depends on installation details most roofers skip.
Our Highland customers tend to ask the same two questions before they hire anyone: “Do you know the WUI code?” and “Do you actually stock the components or do I wait two weeks?” The answer to both is yes. Highland service area work isn’t a side run for us. We keep genuine CertainTeed Ridge Vent and Shadow Ridge caps on hand, and we order WeatherBoys underlayment in bulk so a Highland re-roof doesn’t stall waiting on a warehouse in Fontana.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Highland
- Thermal cycling cracks on dark Landmark shingles. Valley-floor attics in Highland bake. Poor ventilation plus 100-degree summer days cycles the shingle mat repeatedly, and after ten to fifteen years we see granule loss and hairline cracks along the ridge and hips. The fix is often ventilation first, shingle replacement second, not a re-roof of the whole field.
- Wind-lifted tab corners from Santa Ana events. Highland’s fall winds hit north and east-facing roof planes hard. Where CertainTeed seal-down adhesive never got the sustained heat it needed to fully bond, usually on shaded north slopes, those tab corners lift. We see this most on steep foothill lots where the sun angle never reaches part of the roof deck.
- Ember intrusion at eave and ridge vents. In Highland’s WUI zones, the old plastic eave vents on 1990s CertainTeed assemblies are a code failure waiting to happen. Embers blow under the eave, through the vent, and into the attic. We replace them with ember-resistant venting as part of any WUI-zone repair, not as an upsell.
- Underlayment wrinkles over skip sheathing. Many 1970s Highland tract homes have boards with gaps. CertainTeed underlayment laid over skip sheathing without proper backing wrinkles and tears at those gaps, which telegraphs distortion into the shingle layer above. We address the decking condition before any shingle goes down.
- Granule loss on aging slopes. Once a Highland CertainTeed roof passes roughly 20% granule loss across the field, we tell the homeowner straight: patchwork won’t survive the next Santa Ana season. We recommend full replacement, and we’ll show you the difference between repair-grade and replacement-grade wear before you commit.
CertainTeed Service in Highland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the part generic CertainTeed pages miss. Highland is a small foothill city, and it splits into two construction zones within the same ZIP code. The flat valley floor along the 92346 core deals with heat, expansive clay soil, and older tract framing. The northern edge of the city climbs toward the San Bernardino National Forest, and those hillside parcels fall into wildland-urban-interface fire zones. Same ZIP. Different code. Same roof. Different assembly.
That means a modest reroof on a valley-floor lot near Baseline or Highland Avenue can proceed with standard CertainTeed Landmark and regular venting, unlike CertainTeed in Redlands where different rules may apply. But move a few blocks north toward the foothills, and if the parcel backs up to wildland, the county requires a Class A fire-rated assembly and ember-resistant vents, even for what the homeowner thought was a straightforward replacement. We’ve met roofers who don’t know that trigger exists until the inspector fails them. We design for it from the first measurement. Tell me what the house needs, not what you think it needs, then we’ll figure out the right fix.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Highland
We install and repair the full residential CertainTeed roster on Highland homes: Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential Shake TL for estate-style and custom hillside builds, Cedar Impressions siding for exterior envelope work, and WeatherBoys underlayment as the base layer on every roof assembly we do. When a repair calls for components rather than full replacement, we use genuine CertainTeed accessories: Ridge Vent for attic airflow, Shadow Ridge hip and ridge caps for a clean matched finish, and WeatherBoys underlayment to meet the manufacturer’s spec. We don’t mix aftermarket parts with CertainTeed shingles. Highland’s heat and wind punish that shortcut within two seasons, and it can void the warranty on the whole roof.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Highland
Highland CertainTeed work falls into predictable ranges depending on roof size, pitch, decking condition, and whether the parcel sits in a WUI zone. Hillside steep-roof replacements run higher. Valley-floor single-story re-roofs run lower. Here’s the line-item breakdown we quote from:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 – $40,000 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600 – $2,500 |
What drives cost most in Highland is decking repair. If your 1970s tract home has skip sheathing, we may need to overlay or replace sections before the underlayment goes down. That’s a material and labor line item no flat quote can predict without an inspection. Our estimates are free and itemized, so you see the decking, underlayment, shingle, vent, and labor lines separately. Call (866) 505-5254 to set one up.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Highland
It can. If your parcel is in a wildland-urban-interface zone along the northern foothills, the county may require that any reroof or major repair bring the entire assembly up to Class A fire rating, including ember-resistant vents. We check the specific parcel before we quote, so you don’t get surprised mid-project. Call (866) 505-5254 and we’ll check your address against current WUI mapping.
CertainTeed Landmark shingles are wind-rated, but the real-world performance depends on seal-down activation and installation quality. Where Highland’s Santa Ana winds cause failures, it’s usually on shaded north slopes where the adhesive never fully bonded. We inspect for lifted tab corners after big wind events and can repair or replace those slopes before the next wind season. Call (866) 505-5254 for a wind-damage inspection.
WeatherBoys underlayment works well over solid decking, but skip sheathing changes the equation. On 1970s Highland tract homes with board gaps, the underlayment needs a solid base or backing layer, otherwise it wrinkles and tears at the gaps. We evaluate the decking condition before choosing underlayment thickness and type. Call (866) 505-5254 and we’ll tell you what your specific deck needs.
Usually yes. CertainTeed runs consistent color lines across Landmark and Presidential Shake, so if your roof is less than ten years old we can typically source matching bundles. On older roofs with sun fading, a perfect match may not be possible, and we’ll tell you that before you buy. Call (866) 505-5254 with your shingle color name and we’ll check availability.
Landmark is a layered architectural shingle with a flat profile that suits most Highland tract homes and re-roofs. Presidential Shake TL is a thicker, more dimensional shingle built to mimic hand-split wood shake, and it’s popular on custom foothill builds where the owner wants a heavier roof line. Presidential costs more and carries different warranty tiers. Call (866) 505-5254 and we’ll walk through which one fits your roof pitch and budget.
