CertainTeed Construction in Placentia, CA | Ashbury Contractors
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing service across Placentia, handling tear-offs, repairs, and full replacements for the city’s 1950s-70s tract homes. What makes our CertainTeed work different here is simple: Placentia is built out, so nearly every job is a remodel or rebuild of an aging roof, and that means navigating Title 24 cool-roof requirements and Santa Ana wind exposure on a daily basis. Call (833) 467-4091 for a free estimate.
Why Placentia Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’ve spent years installing and repairing CertainTeed roofing systems across Placentia’s mid-century tract homes, so we know how their products perform under Santa Ana winds and inland heat. Homeowners looking for CertainTeed in Anaheim face similar conditions, and we bring that same expertise to every job. We’re an independent contractor, not authorized by CertainTeed, but we bring deep, hands-on expertise with their shingles, underlayments, and ventilation to every job. Noel Quintero, our owner, grew up off Red Hill Avenue in Tustin and spent two-plus decades working residential builds across north Orange County before founding Ashbury Contractors. He’s the guy neighbors call when a previous contractor’s work starts showing cracks, because he diagnoses problems before they compound.
We specify the product before we quote the price. That means you’ll never get a one-line bid for “a new roof.” You’ll get a conversation about CertainTeed Landmark vs. Presidential Shake, what your attic ventilation is doing, and whether your Placentia home’s existing decking can handle another tear-off. One contractor, every trade, from the foundation to the fence line. For the full scope of what we do, see CertainTeed sales & service.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Placentia
- Thermal cracking and granule loss on Landmark shingles. Placentia’s inland summers push attic temperatures past 140°F in older homes with original eave vents. CertainTeed Landmark shingles are solid products, but no asphalt shingle survives decades of trapped heat without ventilation. We fix the roof and the airflow, not just the symptom.
- Wind uplift and sealant failure during Santa Ana events. Santa Ana winds regularly hit 50-70 mph through the canyons and across the 57/91 corridor. Shingles that weren’t nailed to CertainTeed’s fastening pattern or that sit on marginal decking lose their seal. We see this most on homes where a previous contractor rushed a re-roof.
- Premature aging on Presidential Shake roofs. Presidential Shake is a premium polymer product, but Placentia’s UV exposure is relentless on the west- and south-facing slopes of 1960s ranches with poor attic airflow. When the shake starts losing color and flex, we assess whether it’s isolated or systemic before recommending repair or replacement.
- Leaks at valleys and penetrations on original roofs. Many Placentia homes still have their original roof deck and flashings underneath a second or even third layer of shingles. Pipe boots and valley metal fail long before the shingles do. We use CertainTeed OEM accessory products like their underlayments and ridge vents when they’re cost-effective, and we’ll specify quality aftermarket drip edge or pipe boots when they outperform.
- Inadequate attic ventilation causing system-wide shingle failure. This is the most common root cause we find in Placentia. Original 1950s-60s tract homes often have intake vents blocked by insulation or none at all. CertainTeed shingles carry a solid warranty, but the manufacturer won’t honor it if ventilation was ignored. We correct the intake and exhaust before relaying the roof.
CertainTeed Service in Placentia: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Placentia is essentially built out. Contractors here work almost entirely on remodels, room additions, and ADU conversions of 1950s-1970s tract homes on small lots, and roofing is no exception. That means nearly every CertainTeed roof we touch is a tear-off of an original or second-layer roof, not new construction. The city’s permit process for re-roofs often requires Title 24 cool-roof compliance, and CertainTeed’s cool-rated shingle options, including Landmark Solaris and certain Landmark color blends, make that process smoother. On a 1962 ranch home near the old town core on Cypress Street, we tore off three layers of original asphalt shingles and installed CertainTeed Landmark Colonial Slate shingles with full ice-and-water shield at the valleys. The homeowner had been patching leaks for years, but the real issue was inadequate attic ventilation causing premature shingle failure. We added ridge vents and corrected the intake, and the new roof is now performing as it should. That’s the Placentia-specific reality: you’re not just replacing shingles, you’re correcting decades of deferred maintenance on a house that predates modern building science.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Placentia
We work with the full CertainTeed roofing line: Landmark Series asphalt shingles, Presidential Shake polymer shake roofing, and Grand Manor luxury shingles. For exterior projects, we also install CertainTeed Cedar Impressions siding. On the parts side, we use CertainTeed OEM accessory products, underlayments, ridge vents, starter strips, when they’re available and cost-effective. For items like drip edge, pipe boots, and some flashing details, we’ll specify quality aftermarket alternatives if they offer better durability in Placentia’s heat. For repairs, we assess honestly: if the damage is isolated and the roof is under 15 years old, we patch. If granule loss or cracking is widespread, we recommend full replacement. Build it right the first time or you’ll be explaining yourself twice.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Placentia
Yes, Placentia requires a building permit for any full roof replacement, and because the city sits in a warm inland climate zone, most re-roofs must demonstrate Title 24 cool-roof compliance. We pull the permits ourselves and specify CertainTeed cool-rated shingles, like Landmark Solaris, to keep your project moving through plan check without delays. Call (833) 467-4091 and we’ll walk you through what your specific roof needs.
Landmark shingles hold up well in Placentia’s heat when the attic ventilation is doing its job. The failure we see most often isn’t the shingle itself, it’s the trapped heat underneath it. If your attic has original eave vents or blocked intake, any shingle will age faster. We inspect ventilation on every CertainTeed job as part of the free estimate.
If the damage is isolated, meaning a handful of shingles lost their seal or tore off, and the roof is under 15 years old, we patch it. If the wind exposed widespread sealant failure or the shingles are already granule-shedding, replacement makes more sense than chasing patches. We’ll show you photos either way. Call (833) 467-4091 for an honest assessment.
Most 1960s Placentia tract homes fall in the $8,000 to $20,000 range for a full CertainTeed tear-off and replacement, depending on roof size, layers, pitch, and decking condition. Pricing for CertainTeed in Fullerton follows similar patterns. A home with three layers of original shingles and rotted decking will land on the higher end. Estimates are free and itemized, call (833) 467-4091 for your exact number.
