CertainTeed Roofing in San Bernardino, CA | Tilehurst Roofing Riverside
We’re an independent roofing contractor that works on CertainTeed roofs across San Bernardino every week, and the short answer is this: most CertainTeed failures here trace back to heat, wind, or both. Granule loss on Landmark shingles, cracked XT series at the nail line, lifted tabs after a Santa Ana blow. Our San Bernardino Roofing Company crew, led by Greg Holloway, handles it with a written price in your hand before anything gets touched. If your CertainTeed roof is showing its age under San Bernardino’s sun, call (562) 315-0297 for a free estimate.
We know CertainTeed products inside and out, from CertainTeed sales & service work on Landmark tear-offs to Flintlastic flat roof patches. Tilehurst Roofing Riverside is part of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000, and we cover the full San Bernardino service area. Same crew, same promise, every single job.
Why San Bernardino Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Greg grew up in Los Angeles and learned roofing through the construction technology program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, then spent the better part of three decades on roofs across Southern California. He’s the kind of guy who explains what flashing is before assuming you already know. When Greg’s crew shows up at a San Bernardino home, they arrive in the window they gave, wearing uniforms and carrying a written estimate.
We’re not a CertainTeed-authorized dealer, and we’ll tell you that straight. What we are is an independent contractor with deep hands-on experience across the CertainTeed product range: Landmark, Presidential Shake, Flintlastic SA, Cedar Impressions. That independence means we recommend what’s right for your roof, not what a manufacturer program tells us to push. And because we stock genuine CertainTeed shingles plus quality aftermarket components that meet local code, we’re not waiting on a distributor when your San Bernardino roof needs attention.
Every call is answered by a live person, 24/7. Not a voicemail. Not a callback queue. A person.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in San Bernardino
- Granule loss on Landmark shingles. San Bernardino’s 100°F+ summers bake the asphalt and loosen the mineral granules that protect shingles from UV. We see Landmark roofs hit this around the 8 to 12 year mark, especially on south- and west-facing slopes. You’ll notice dark patches where granules have worn thin. The fix is honest: spot repair if it’s isolated, full replacement if more than 20% of the roof shows it.
- Thermal shock cracking at the nail line. Hot days and cool desert nights make shingles expand and contract hard. Older CertainTeed XT series shingles crack right at the nail line from this cycling. It’s not a product defect, it’s physics, and it’s common in San Bernardino. We replace the cracked shingles or recommend a current Landmark Pro roof if the damage is widespread.
- Santa Ana wind uplift on laminate shingles. Gusts of 50 to 70 mph can break the self-seal adhesive strip that holds certainteed laminate tabs down. Homes on the northern foothills above 30th Street near Waterman Canyon get hit hardest. We over-nail perimeter shingles and follow CertainTeed’s high-wind installation method on those streets.
- Flintlastic SA flat roof seam failure. Intense UV dries out the self-adhered seams on Flintlastic low-slope roofs, particularly at parapet walls and scupper transitions. This is a leak waiting to happen, and we patch these seams without a full tear-off whenever the field membrane is still sound.
- Decking rot from winter rain intrusion. San Bernardino’s periodic heavy winter rains expose any weak point in a failing roof, and rotted decking is what we find underneath. We replace the damaged decking with proper CDX plywood before putting new shingles down. No shortcuts.
CertainTeed Service in San Bernardino: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here’s something we don’t see discussed on generic roofing pages: San Bernardino isn’t one wind zone. Homes in the northern foothills above 30th Street, up toward Waterman Canyon, take significantly stronger Santa Ana gusts than the valley floor near downtown. A roof that holds fine on Baseline might lose tabs on 40th Street in the same wind event. That’s why our standard for foothill CertainTeed installs is six nails per shingle instead of the conventional four, plus CertainTeed’s high-wind method with proper sealing. On the flats south of Highland Avenue, heat is the bigger enemy, and we recommend lighter shingle colors and ridge venting to keep attic temperatures manageable. Knowing which San Bernardino microclimate your house sits in changes the material and install decisions we make.
We tell you the price before we touch your roof. That’s just how it should work.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in San Bernardino
We work on the full CertainTeed residential range you’re likely to see on San Bernardino homes: Landmark series asphalt shingles, Presidential Shake, Cedar Impressions polymer shake for craftsman-style bungalows, and Flintlastic SA self-adhered modified bitumen for flat and low-slope sections. When a repair calls for matching existing materials, we install genuine CertainTeed shingles, underlayment, and flashing components. For vent boots, pipe collars, and valley metal, we use quality aftermarket equivalents that meet or exceed local code and save you real money without compromising the roof.
We stock common CertainTeed shingle colors and repair components in our Riverside yard, which keeps San Bernardino turnaround fast. If we need a specialty color, we’ll tell you the timeline up front and put it in writing.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in San Bernardino
Landmark shingles are built for high-heat climates, but San Bernardino’s sustained UV exposure accelerates granule loss compared to coastal cities. Most Landmark roofs in the Inland Empire reach replacement consideration around year 12 to 15, while the same roof near the coast might go 20. The key is checking for granule loss annually and keeping attic ventilation working so heat doesn’t bake the shingles from below. Call (562) 315-0297 if your Landmark roof is showing dark patches, we’ll tell you what you’re actually looking at.
Yes, usually. If the Flintlastic SA field membrane is intact and the failure is at a seam, parapet wall, or scupper transition, we can patch that specific area and get you watertight. We’ll also inspect the rest of the roof for UV-dried seams that are about to fail. If multiple seams are delaminating, a full tear-off makes more sense, and we’ll show you the photos to prove it before we recommend anything.
Santa Ana gusts hit the northern foothill neighborhoods hardest, and the wind gets under shingle tabs and breaks the self-seal adhesive. Once that seal is broken, the tabs lift repeatedly with every wind event. The fix is re-sealing the tabs with the right adhesive and, on foothill homes, increasing nailing density from four to six nails per shingle for the San Bernardino Roof Repair re-install. Call (562) 315-0297 for an assessment before the next wind event.
If the damage is limited to a handful of shingles and the rest of the roof has good granule coverage and no cracking, we replace just what’s damaged and blend the shingles as closely as manufacturing batches allow. If more than 20% of the roof shows granule loss, nail-line cracking, or lifted tabs, we’ll recommend a full CertainTeed replacement, and we’ll show you why with photos from your actual roof. No pressure, just facts.
We cut out the rotted section and replace it with new CDX plywood that meets current code, then install the shingles on a solid substrate. You don’t put new shingles on rotted decking, it’s a waste of your money and the shingles will fail prematurely. We’ll show you the rotted wood when we cut it out so you know exactly what we found. Call (562) 315-0297 to have your decking assessed before the next winter rain season.
