CertainTeed Construction in Highland, CA | Timberline Contractors
We install and repair CertainTeed roofing and siding systems across Highland, CA, including every foothill lot in 92346. The thing that makes our CertainTeed work different here: we spec each roof to survive Santa Ana wind gusts and pass WUI defensible-space review, not just to look good from the curb. As an independent contractor, we answer to you and the Highland building inspector, never to CertainTeed’s sales sheet. Call (866) 253-5808 for a free estimate, and we’ll tell you straight whether a repair beats a replacement.
Why Highland Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes excellent shingles, metal panels, and siding. Landmark architectural shingles, Landmark PRO, Presidio metal, Cedar Impressions polymer siding. We handle all of it. But here’s what matters more in Highland: we know how these products actually behave on south-facing and west-facing slopes when the Inland Empire sun beats down for six straight months. We know where wind-driven rain finds its way in on foothill lots where gusts funnel off the San Bernardino Mountains, unlike CertainTeed in San Bernardino valley installations. And we know what the WUI inspector is going to flag before they flag it.
Nelson Fung, our owner and general contractor, grew up around material selection the way some kids grow up around baseball. He learned the trade formally at LA Trade-Technical College, then spent years running remodels and builds across the LA basin before putting down roots with Timberline Contractors. He applies the same thinking to every Highland roof: do it right the first time or explain yourself twice. That’s the standard.
We also carry a full range of CertainTeed-branded shingles, starter course, ridge cap, and underlayment matched to your existing assembly and wind zone. When a repair is the right call, we patch it properly with OEM-compatible materials. When the deck is shot, we say so and show you why.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Highland
- Premature granule loss and seal-strip failure on south and west slopes. Highland’s hot, dry summers put relentless UV load on Landmark shingles. We regularly replace slopes where the granules have washed into the gutters and the seal strips have baked loose, especially on 1970s-90s tract homes that got a cheap re-roof a decade ago.
- Wind uplift at ridge caps and gable rakes during Santa Ana events. Foothill lots in 92346 get gusts that funnel off the mountain and tear at standard four-nail shingle patterns. We refasten with high-wind nailing and upgrade the ridge cap to a profile that actually stays put.
- WUI ignition risk from standard plastic ridge vents and open soffit vents. Highland sits at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains, so wildfire defensibility is a routine part of every foothill project. The plastic vent on your ridge and the gaps in your soffit are ignition points. We replace them with ember-resistant materials that satisfy Chapter 7A-style review.
- Deck and fascia deterioration where roof runoff meets hillside drainage. Winter storm runoff shedding off the mountain finds every gap. We’ve pulled fascia boards that crumbled at the nail line once wind-driven rain got behind the drip edge. The fix starts at the eave, not just the shingle field.
- Partial repair mismatches from previous contractors. A mismatched shingle color or wrong-profile ridge cap on a Highland roof stands out from the street. We match CertainTeed color and profile so the repair blends into the existing assembly.
CertainTeed Service in Highland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Highland’s foothill lots in 92346 shed winter storm runoff off the San Bernardino Mountains, and that single fact changes how we approach almost every re-roof and addition. On the valley floor in Redlands or Loma Linda, a roof drains to a gutter and the water heads to a storm drain. On a Highland hillside, the runoff comes off the roof, into a downspout, and then has to get around retaining walls, across graded slopes, and away from the foundation without eroding the hillside in the process.
We routinely coordinate roof drainage, gutters, and downspout discharge with retaining-wall and grading work on the same project. That means a re-roof here isn’t just shingle replacement. It’s a roof-and-grading problem, and it’s why we schedule a walkthrough with the homeowner before we quote anything. We want to see where the water actually goes when a winter storm hits. If the gutter dumps runoff against a retaining wall or sends it toward a bedroom wall, we fix the discharge path as part of the job. Lowland Inland Empire cities don’t face this at the same intensity.
On a hillside lot off the foothill streets climbing toward the national forest boundary in 92346, we tore off a wind-fatigued Landmark roof where the ridge caps had lifted and several rakes had lost tabs after repeated Santa Ana gusts. The tear-off exposed soft fascia and a couple of crumbling sheathing boards at the eave. We replaced that decking, refastened with a high-wind nailing pattern, and installed ember-resistant ridge venting and edge metal to satisfy the defensible-space review. We finished with CertainTeed Landmark PRO and tied the new gutters into the existing hillside drainage so storm runoff sheds clear of the foundation.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Highland
We install and repair the CertainTeed product lines most common on Highland roofs: Landmark architectural shingles, Landmark PRO and NorthGate for high-wind and WUI applications, Presidio metal roofing panels that mimic shake and slate, and Cedar Impressions polymer siding. We use CertainTeed-branded shingles, starter course, ridge cap, and underlayment matched to the existing assembly and wind zone so the roof performs as a system. Where local WUI rules demand it, we’ll specify quality aftermarket edge metal and ember-resistant vents, because CertainTeed’s standard accessories don’t always satisfy a Highland foothill inspector. Our approach to CertainTeed sales & service is straightforward: repair when the deck is sound and the failure is isolated to flashing or a wind-damaged slope. Replace fully when the sheathing or underlayment is at end of life.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Highland
Roof work in Highland runs the same range as the rest of the Inland Empire, but foothill lots add a grading and drainage variable that can shift the number. A straightforward Landmark re-roof on a flat-lot tract home sits at the lower end. A hillside re-roof with deck repair, ember-resistant venting, and drainage reconfiguration lands higher. Here’s what we quote:
| 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 |

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Highland
Mostly yes, and the exact requirements depend on your lot’s fire severity zone. Highland sits at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains, so foothill properties are typically in a WUI zone that requires ember-resistant vents, Class A roofing, and edge metal details a standard flat-lot roof skips. We’ll pull the zone map for your address and spec the roof to pass inspection the first time. Call (866) 253-5808 and we’ll walk you through what your specific Hillside or valley lot actually requires.
Santa Ana winds funnel off the mountain and hit foothill lots with gusts that standard four-nail shingle patterns can’t hold. The ridge cap lifts first, then the rake edges lose tabs. We re-nail with a high-wind pattern and replace the cap with a profile that actually resists those gusts. It’s the most common wind-related repair we do in 92346.
Often yes, especially on 1970s-90s tract homes whose original sheathing has been cooking under Highland sun for three decades. We check the deck during the estimate and line-item any replacement we can see. On the tear-off, we’ll show you what we find before we move forward. No surprise change orders. Call (866) 253-5808 to schedule an inspection.
Yes, we stock the most common CertainTeed Landmark colors used on Highland roofs and can order any current color or profile that’s still in production. For discontinued lines, we’ll match to the nearest available profile and tell you honestly whether the patch will blend or whether you’re better off replacing the full slope.
Winter runoff off the San Bernardino Mountains has to go somewhere. If your gutters dump against a retaining wall or toward the foundation, you’ll get erosion, water intrusion, and eventually structural damage. We tie re-roofs into existing hillside drainage and reconfigure downspout discharge so runoff sheds clear. It’s part of how we quote the job, not an add-on.
No, we’re an independent contractor. That’s deliberate. We install CertainTeed products weekly across Highland and the East San Bernardino foothills, and we also handle CertainTeed repair in Muscoy, but we answer to the homeowner and the building inspector, not to CertainTeed. When a repair beats a replacement, we’ll tell you. When the deck is too far gone, we’ll show you why.
