CertainTeed Construction in San Martin, CA | Timberline Contractors
We provide independent CertainTeed roofing and exterior construction service across San Martin, from full Landmark re-roofs on ranch houses to flashing and ventilation repairs on barns and shops. What makes our CertainTeed work here different is one thing: every job clears through Santa Clara County, not a city building department, and Llagas Creek’s flood corridor means drainage and grading get scrutinized hard. Call (866) 253-5808 for a free estimate.
Why San Martin Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’re not a dealer running a manufacturer playbook. We’re General Contractor – San Martin professionals who install CertainTeed systems, maintain them, and repair them long after the warranty paperwork gets filed away. That matters when you live on a two-acre parcel with a 1970s ranch house and an accessory shop the previous owner tied into the roofline without a permit. Nelson Fung, owner at Timberline Contractors, learned the trade doing remodels across the LA basin, and he brings that same instinct here: figure out how the assembly actually behaves, then fix it so it holds.
Our crews know which CertainTeed shingle and underlayment combinations hold up under South County sun and winter rain, because we see what fails. We stock CertainTeed-branded starter, underlayment, and ridge components for fast San Martin turnaround, and we specify quality equivalents where a discontinued colorway makes an exact match impossible. We won’t fake a match that doesn’t exist.
One contractor, every phase. From the foundation to the ridge cap.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in San Martin
- UV granule loss on south-facing Landmark slopes. San Martin summers run long, hot, and dry. The sun beats on south and west roof planes for months without relief, and CertainTeed Landmark shingles on those exposures shed granules faster than anything on the foggy coast. Seal-strip fatigue follows, and once the sealer fails, wind gets under the tabs. We see this constantly on older ranch houses across San Martin.
- Wind-driven rain intrusion at valleys and penetrations. Winter storms blow in off the coastal ranges, and when rain hits Llagas Creek flood-corridor properties, it finds every underlap, every poorly lapped flashing seam, every gap in older underlayment. CertainTeed shingles work, but only if the underlayment and flashing details underneath them were done right the first time.
- Wavy decks under older shingle layers. Original spaced or skip sheathing on 1950s and 1960s ranch and farmworker-era homes moves with moisture and heat. Nails pop. Fasteners back out. The shingles look fine until a heavy rain finds the path underneath. A shingle-only patch over a moving deck buys one season.
- Barn, shop, and addition tie-ins that leak. San Martin has larger parcels, which means accessory structures. When someone ties a barn or shop roof into the main CertainTeed plane without proper flashing and ventilation detail, the failure point is always the seam. We re-work flashing and edge metal so outbuilding assemblies meet wind and fire-conscious detailing instead of leaking into the house.
- Discontinued CertainTeed colorways. CertainTeed retires shingle lines and colors. When a San Martin homeowner needs a repair on a roof installed in 2008, the exact match often doesn’t exist anymore. We’ll be straight with you: we specify a quality equivalent where a match is gone, and we won’t sell you a patch that looks wrong from the driveway.
CertainTeed Service in San Martin: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
San Martin has no city hall. That’s not a quirk, it’s the defining fact of construction here. Every CertainTeed re-roof, every addition, every accessory-structure tie-in clears through Santa Clara County rather than a municipal building department. That means the permit path runs through county reviewers who know the local flood maps, the local drainage patterns, and the local septic and well layouts. Because Llagas Creek’s flood corridor crosses San Martin, drainage and grading on county submittals get reviewed with a scrutiny a Morgan Hill or Gilroy city permit across the line never sees. A roof that would sail through a Morgan Hill CertainTeed service city counter in twenty minutes gets held here if the drainage plan doesn’t account for where water actually goes during a winter storm. We pull those permits ourselves, and we’ve learned what the county looks for. If you’re re-roofing a property anywhere near Llagas Creek, the gradient and overflow question isn’t optional. It’s the first page of the submittal.
On a ranch property off Llagas Creek’s flood corridor, our crew tore off a tired Landmark roof down to skip sheathing that crumbled at the nail, added solid decking, and rebuilt the valleys and venting before laying a new CertainTeed in Corralitos Landmark system with county inspection sign-off. On a separate large-lot parcel with an unpermitted shop tied into the house roofline, we re-worked the flashing and edge metal so the outbuilding assembly met wind and fire-conscious detailing instead of leaking into the main house. Both jobs taught us the same lesson: in unincorporated San Martin, the county plan check is where the real engineering happens.
Do it right the first time or explain yourself twice.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in San Martin
We install and service the full CertainTeed roofing lineup that makes sense for South County homes. Landmark architectural shingles, including Landmark Pro and Landmark TL, cover most San Martin ranch houses and newer custom homes. Presidio and Belmont synthetic slate and shake show up on custom foothill properties where homeowners want the look without the weight. Cedar Impressions polymer siding goes on additions and accessory structures. And every full re-roof we do includes the Integrity Roof System components: underlayment, starter, ridge vent, and hip-and-ridge as a matched assembly, not a mixed bag of whatever was on the truck.
We use CertainTeed-branded parts where they match the installed system. Where a line’s been discontinued, we specify quality equivalents and tell you exactly what we’re doing and why.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in San Martin
Through Santa Clara County. San Martin is unincorporated, so there’s no city building department. We pull county permits ourselves, and because Llagas Creek’s flood corridor crosses the area, drainage and grading plans get reviewed more closely than they would across the line in Morgan Hill or Gilroy. Call (866) 253-5808 and we’ll walk you through what the county will ask for.
South County sun is relentless. Long, dry summers with months of direct UV exposure break down the granule layer and fatigue the seal strip on south and west slopes far faster than on the coast. That’s normal here, not a defect. We can upgrade you to a heavier Landmark Pro or redesign the ridge venting to reduce heat load. Estimates are free.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common jobs we do on larger parcels. The tie-in seam is the standard failure point when outbuildings were added without proper flashing, edge metal, or ventilation detail. We re-work those connections, pull the county permit, and detail the assembly so it meets wind and fire-conscious requirements. Call (866) 253-5808 to schedule a site walk.
No. Overlaying shingles over a wavy or spaced-sheathing deck guarantees nail pops and premature failure. We tear off to the deck, assess the sheathing, replace or re-secure what’s moving, and then lay the CertainTeed system properly. A patch over a moving deck is a season-long fix, not a roof.
Yes. Larger lots with dry brush mean the county looks at roof assemblies with fire in mind. CertainTeed Landmark Pro carries a Class A fire rating, which helps with defensible-space compliance, but ventilation design and edge detailing matter too. We spec the assembly with that review in mind. Call (866) 253-5808 for a free estimate – we’ll tell you what your roof actually needs.
