AfterCertainTeed Construction in Pomona, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
CertainTeed roof, siding, and drywall work in Pomona comes down to one thing most contractors miss: the Pomona fault and the expansive clay it sits on. We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, and we’ve been tearing into and rebuilding CertainTeed products on Pomona homes since 1998. If your Landmark shingles are losing granules or your Cedar Impressions siding is warping on the west wall, call Tom Barrett at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Why Pomona Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We know CertainTeed products the way a mechanic knows one make of engine. CertainTeed Landmark shingles, Presidential Shake, Cedar Impressions siding, ProRoc drywall – we’ve pulled all of them apart, figured out where they fail in Pomona’s climate, and put them back correctly. Tom Barrett grew up in the San Fernando Valley and learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, starting with framing and finishing with enough field hours to know the job never lies. For the better part of two decades he’s been building and remodeling homes across Los Angeles, handling everything from Pomona Kitchen Remodeling to full home rebuilds, and he started Barrett & Sons partly because his oldest boy showed the same interest in tools that Tom had at sixteen. That felt like reason enough.
We’re independent. That matters because we don’t have a manufacturer’s talking points running through our head when we look at your roof. We see what’s actually there. For CertainTeed sales & service across the San Gabriel Valley, we spec what the house needs – sometimes that’s genuine CertainTeed components, sometimes it’s a better aftermarket part. The house decides, not the brand.
Our crews live here. We answer our own phone at (877) 610-1318, and Tom’s sons run the crews. When you call about a CertainTeed roof issue in Pomona, the person who answers has probably driven past your street this month.
Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Pomona
Here’s what we see most often on CertainTeed products in this city:
- Landmark shingle granule loss from Santa Ana winds. Pomona sits at the eastern pinch point of the San Gabriel Valley, where sustained gusts hit 50 to 60 mph in the fall. Those winds strip granules off Landmark shingles, exposing the asphalt to Pomona’s 105-degree summer heat. The shingles then get brittle fast, especially on north-facing slopes that don’t get direct sun to soften them.
- Presidential Shake underlayment separation at ridge caps. On 1940s and 1960s slab-on-grade homes, attic ventilation is often inadequate. Heat builds up, moisture collects, and the underlayment under Presidential Shake separates at the ridge. That moisture accumulation mirrors the same soil-moisture wicking that cracks slabs in Pomona’s expansive clay.
- Cedar Impressions panel warping and seam gapping. West-facing walls along Holt Avenue take brutal afternoon thermal cycling. The panels expand and contract beyond the product’s expansion gap, and the fasteners pull through brittle original stucco framing. You see warped panels and open seams.
- ProRoc drywall paper-face delamination in unvented bathrooms. Mid-century tract homes in Pomona have 1940s framing dimensions that require field shimming. Older drywall can’t handle the movement, and unvented bathroom moisture makes the paper face peel. We see this constantly in the 91766 and 91767 ZIP codes.
- Seismic-related deck splitting under CertainTeed roofing. The Pomona fault cuts through the city, and original tongue-and-groove roof decks on pre-1970 homes often split along shear cracks near the fault trace. That breaks the fastening surface for whatever shingle is on top.
CertainTeed Service in Pomona: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here’s something you won’t read on a generic CertainTeed page. The Pomona fault runs directly beneath the 91766 ZIP code. That’s not a line on a map – it’s an active seismic trace under people’s houses. So before we order a single CertainTeed shingle for a pre-1970 home, we do an additional anchor-bolt and cripple-wall evaluation. Contractors in Claremont or Ontario can skip that step because they don’t sit on the same active trace. We can’t. And the clay soil adds another layer: Pomona sits on an alluvial fan at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, where expansive clay swells and shrinks with moisture. That movement telegraphs up through the framing and into the roof deck. A roof that would last 30 years in a coastal LA city might flex and fail at the seams here. Our crew replaced a CertainTeed Landmark roof on a 1954 slab-on-grade house in the Lincoln Park neighborhood, where the original tongue-and-groove roof deck had split along a seismic shear crack near the fault trace. We removed the delaminated Landmark shingles, sistered the broken deck boards, re-sheathed with CDX plywood, and re-installed Landmark in the same Charcoal Black color, while adding new seismic hold-downs because the 1954 anchor bolts were visibly rusted and loose. That’s what Pomona construction actually looks like.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Pomona
We work on the full CertainTeed lineup that shows up in Pomona homes: Landmark Series asphalt shingles, Presidential Shake shingles, Cedar Impressions siding, and ProRoc drywall. Our parts approach is simple: we use genuine CertainTeed components for roof penetrations and shingle replacements to preserve factory wind ratings and color matching. But we spec aftermarket flashing and underlayment from GAF or Owens Corning when local code or seismic uplift requirements exceed CertainTeed’s baseline. For siding and drywall, we replace full panels or boards rather than patch. Pomona’s soil movement and wind flex make partial repairs telegraph future cracks. A patch looks fine for a year and then fails where the old material flexes. We’d rather do it once.
CertainTeed Service Pricing in Pomona
Here’s what CertainTeed work typically costs in Pomona. These are real ranges based on what we’ve bid in this market:

| Emergency & Storm Damage (tarp, temp patch) | $400 – $1,800 |
What drives the cost: the size of the roof, whether we’re re-decking or just re-shingling, how much seismic retrofit work the house needs, and whether the existing underlayment is salvageable. Our free estimate includes a written line-item scope. No allowances that aren’t on paper. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule yours.

FAQs - CertainTeed Construction in Pomona
A Landmark roof can handle Pomona’s Santa Ana wind loads, but only if the deck and fastening are sound. On a 1950s slab-on-grade home, the bigger risk is the roof deck itself: seismic shear cracks and rusted anchor bolts compromise the fastening surface. We evaluate the deck before we order shingles. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Color matching is possible if the siding was installed recently enough that the shade is still in production. But in Pomona’s west-facing thermal cycling, partial panel replacement often telegraphs cracks at the seams. We’ll tell you honestly whether a few panels will hold or whether the wall needs full replacement. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll look at it.
We can repair the shingles, but the underlayment separation at the ridge will come back unless the ventilation is fixed. In Pomona’s 105-degree summers, attics need more airflow than many 1950s homes were built with. We’d fix the ridge, repair the shake, and show you what the ventilation fix costs. Estimates are free at (877) 610-1318.
It’s usually both, and that’s the frustrating part. The moisture triggers the paper-face delamination, but the foundation movement from Pomona’s expansive clay is what keeps the seams flexing so the drywall can’t hold. We’ll assess the slab before we touch the drywall. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact diagnosis.
An authorized contractor works within CertainTeed’s warranty program and specs what the manufacturer approves. We’re independent, so we spec what the house needs – even when that means aftermarket underlayment or additional seismic hold-downs that go beyond CertainTeed’s baseline. We don’t have a manufacturer’s warranty, but we have our 90-Day Done Right Promise and 29 years of standing behind the work. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free second opinion on any written estimate.
