CertainTeed Roofing in West Covina, CA | Oakmont Roof Repair
We handle CertainTeed roof repair and replacement across West Covina, from 91790 through 91793. What makes our CertainTeed work here different is that we know how these roofs fail in the San Gabriel Valley’s inland heat, not just how they’re supposed to perform in a brochure. If you need someone who understands CertainTeed Landmark shingles, Presidential Shake, or the underlayments these roofs were originally built with, call Oakmont Roof Repair at (866) 942-0875. We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, so we recommend repairs when they make sense and replacement only when it’s actually time.
Why West Covina Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
West Covina is full of 1950s and 1960s tract homes that have seen two or three roofing systems come and go. Most local roofers can nail down shingles. Far fewer can tell you exactly why the CertainTeed underlayment on a concrete tile roof baked to dust after fifty-plus summers, or why the west-facing slope of your Landmark shingle roof is shedding granules years ahead of the other side. That’s the difference. Noel Fierro, owner of Oakmont Roof Repair, has spent years on rooftops across San Bernardino County learning how heat, wind, and time actually eat at roofing materials. The roof doesn’t lie, and neither does he. We carry genuine CertainTeed accessories and underlayments where they’re appropriate, and we pair them with aftermarket flashing and ventilation components that meet or beat OEM spec. You get an honest repair-versus-replace call, not a pitch for a full tear-off because it’s easier to sell.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in West Covina
- Thermal cracking and granule loss on Landmark and Xtra shingles. West Covina’s inland summer heat regularly pushes well past coastal temperatures, and the daily expansion-contraction cycle works on asphalt shingles like a slow grinder. West-facing slopes get the worst of it. Granule loss shows up as bare dark patches; cracking shows up as visible splits. Both mean the shingle’s protective layer is failing.
- Underlayment deterioration beneath concrete tile. This is the big one in West Covina. Many original concrete tile roofs sit on underlayment that has turned brittle and cracked after decades of heat. The tile looks fine from the street. The first atmospheric-river storm says otherwise.
- Wind uplift on ridge caps and starter courses during Santa Ana events. Santa Ana winds funnel through the San Gabriel Valley and hit exposed ridges hard. CertainTeed ridge caps that were never properly bonded, or starter courses that have aged, get lifted and torn. Two-story homes take the worst of it.
- Flashing failures at valleys and penetrations. Where CertainTeed shingles meet walls, chimneys, or flat roof sections, thermal movement works the flashing loose over time. Years of heat-driven expansion and contraction opens gaps that let water in during winter storms.
- Skip-sheathing surprises on original tile roofs. Many West Covina homes built in the 1950s and 1960s have skip-sheathing under concrete tile, not solid plywood. That changes everything about how a tile repair has to be done, and we check for it before quoting.
CertainTeed Service in West Covina: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing that generic CertainTeed pages miss: West Covina is a postwar suburb where a huge percentage of concrete tile roofs are still on their original skip-sheathing or first re-cover. In the Wescove tract near West Covina Parkway, most of the homes went up in the early 1960s, and we offer CertainTeed service in Valinda for similar homes nearby. The tile was meant to last, but the underlayment underneath was never designed for sixty years of inland San Gabriel Valley heat. When we’re called out for a tile roof leak in West Covina, we don’t trust the tile from the street. We get onto the roof, lift sections in the valleys and at penetrations, and probe the deck. Because if the underlayment has turned to dust, repairing one cracked tile is pointless. The water is getting through everywhere the underlayment failed. This is a step plenty of contractors skip in newer cities where underlayment is still intact. Here, it’s the difference between a repair that holds and one that leaks again in December.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in West Covina
We service the full CertainTeed residential line: Landmark architectural shingles, Xtra 3-tab shingles, and Presidential Shake. We also replace CertainTeed underlayments including RoofRunner and DiamondDeck, which matters more than most homeowners realize, especially under tile on these older West Covina homes. When we do shingle repairs, we use genuine CertainTeed accessories when they match the existing roof and they’re available. For flashing, ventilation, and some underlayment applications, we use high-quality aftermarket components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. The point is never to pad a CertainTeed job with cheap parts, and never to overcharge for a name on a box. Stock levels for CertainTeed products in the San Gabriel Valley are generally good, which keeps West Covina turnaround times short on most repairs.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in West Covina
Look at the west-facing slope first. If you see widespread granule loss, bare asphalt patches, or cracking across more than about 30 percent of that slope, you’re likely looking at replacement rather than repair. A few damaged shingles can be swapped. A whole slope that’s shed its protective layer cannot. We’ll get on the roof and give you an honest read. Call (866) 942-0875 for a free estimate and you’ll know exactly where you stand.
Because the tile isn’t the waterproof layer. The underlayment is. On many West Covina homes built in the 1950s and 1960s, that original underlayment has baked for fifty-plus years and turned brittle or crumbled entirely. The tiles look fine from the curb, but water passes through them and finds the failed underlayment underneath. We also provide CertainTeed repair in South San Jose Hills, and here in West Covina we lift tiles, assess the deck, and replace the underlayment with a high-temp membrane, then reset your original tiles.
Yes, Landmark shingles handle inland heat reasonably well, but no shingle escapes West Covina’s sun forever. The west-facing slopes age much faster than the rest of the roof. CertainTeed Landmark is a solid architectural shingle for this climate when installed with proper ventilation, and we see plenty of West Covina Landmark roofs performing well into their second decade with good attic airflow. Without ventilation, that lifespan drops sharply.
Get it looked at before the next rain. Santa Ana winds in West Covina can tear ridge caps, lift starter courses, and fold shingles back. The damage might not leak immediately, but loose shingles and missing ridge pieces invite water during the winter storms that follow. Call (866) 942-0875 and we’ll inspect the roof, document what the wind actually damaged, and give you a straight answer on what needs fixing.
Yes. CertainTeed flat roof materials and the flashing where flat sections meet shingle slopes are common West Covina leak points, especially on 1950s-1970s homes with add-on flat sections. We repair the membrane or flashing and seal the transition properly. Estimates are free, so call (866) 942-0875 and we’ll tell you what the fix involves before you spend anything.
