CertainTeed Construction in Santa Ana, CA | Pinecrest Contractors
We’re Pinecrest Contractors, offering CertainTeed service in Tustin and throughout Santa Ana. We install and repair CertainTeed roofing, siding, and trim on the city’s century-old bungalows and mid-century tract homes. What makes our CertainTeed work different here is that we’ve spent years navigating the historic-preservation rules in neighborhoods like Floral Park and Washington Square, so we understand what the city will approve before you spend a dollar. If your CertainTeed roof or siding is failing, call us at (855) 702-1622 for a free estimate.
Why Santa Ana Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed products are specific. Landmark shingles don’t fail the same way Presidential Shake does, and Monogram siding behaves differently than Cedar Impressions. We know those differences because we’ve repaired and replaced every one of these product lines on Santa Ana homes. Gil Rourke, our owner, came up through Palomar College’s construction technology program and spent years working every phase of residential builds before founding Pinecrest. The right material in the right place, that’s where the job starts. That’s how we approach every CertainTeed job, from CertainTeed repair in North Tustin to matching a historic color palette on a Floral Park bungalow or reinforcing a roof against wind uplift on a south-side tract home.
We’re not manufacturer-authorized, and we won’t pretend to be. What we are is independent, which means we can tell you honestly when a CertainTeed product is the right choice and when it isn’t. Our CertainTeed sales & service work covers the full product range, and we use OEM accessories like starter strips and ridge vents to keep your warranty intact.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Santa Ana
Santa Ana’s specific conditions create predictable failure patterns in CertainTeed products. Here’s what we see most often:
- Granule loss on Landmark shingles facing south and west. Santa Ana winds hit hard in the fall and winter, and the intense UV exposure on those exposures breaks down the asphalt faster than on north-facing slopes. We see this on homes across the Washington Square and Mabury Park areas, where rooflines sit fully exposed to afternoon sun.
- Cracked tabs on Presidential Shake roofs over older homes. The heavy shake-style profile doesn’t flex well over uneven decking. A lot of Santa Ana homes built before the 1960s have settled slightly, and walking a Presidential Shake roof in summer heat can crack the tabs at the nail line. We repair these before they become leaks.
- Separated and buckled Monogram siding joints. Thermal expansion in Santa Ana’s dry, hot summers followed by cooler damp winters stresses the lap joints. Dark-colored siding absorbs more heat and moves more, visibly opening seams on south-facing walls. We replace the affected runs and correct the fastening pattern.
- Warped Cedar Impressions panels at the nail hem. This happens on homes with limited wall ventilation behind the siding. The intense sun in Santa Ana bakes the panel face while moisture gets trapped behind it. Cedar Impressions is a premium product, but the install details on older Santa Ana homes are often wrong.
- Wind-driven ridge vent and flashing failures after Santa Ana wind events. Gusts in the 40 to 50 mph range are routine in the fall. Improperly secured CertainTeed ridge vents and flashing can lift, letting water into the attic during the first winter rain. We re-secure these before the rainy season.
CertainTeed Service in Santa Ana: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Santa Ana’s historic-preservation and design-review process shapes the way we approach CertainTeed work here, and it’s different from any other city we serve. In Floral Park and Washington Square, exterior changes, even a simple re-roof, often require material samples and color choices submitted to the city’s historic-preservation board for review. That review can add two to four weeks to a project timeline before we can even schedule the work. What it means for CertainTeed owners is this: the color you want for your Landmark or Presidential Shake roof has to match the city’s approved palette for your block, and we’ll guide you through which CertainTeed colors have already passed review in comparable homes nearby. We keep a list of board-approved CertainTeed colors from past Floral Park and Washington Square jobs in our project files, which saves you a complete back-and-forth with the city. In neighboring Orange or Los Serranos, you’d never deal with this. In Santa Ana, it’s just how the work gets done correctly.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Santa Ana
Our crews install and repair the full CertainTeed residential roofing and siding lineup, including Landmark shingles in standard and designer colors, Presidential Shake and Presidential Shake TL for heavier profiles, Monogram siding in lap and vertical varieties, and Cedar Impressions polymer shakes and shingles. For repairs, we use CertainTeed OEM accessories, including starter strips, ridge vents, hip and ridge caps, and siding trim, to maintain warranty compliance. When the OEM component isn’t suited to the specific repair, we’ll use a higher-quality aftermarket flashing or fastener and tell you exactly why. We don’t stock every CertainTeed color in our Santa Ana warehouse, but we can usually get what we need from our local suppliers within one to two days. Most colors used in the historic districts are already on hand because they’re consistent across local jobs.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Santa Ana
CertainTeed pricing comes down to scope, product line, and what’s actually wrong. Here are the ranges we consistently see across Santa Ana:
| Service | Typical Santa Ana Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600 – $2,500 |
A Landmark roof replacement on a typical Santa Ana bungalow with one layer of existing shingles lands in the lower half of that range. Presidential Shake pushes higher because the material and install time are heavier. Roof repairs are usually straightforward patches, but Santa Ana’s historic-review process doesn’t apply to repairs inside the same color and material, so those can proceed faster. Every estimate is free, line-itemed, and we explain exactly which CertainTeed product fits your home and your budget. Call (855) 702-1622 to schedule yours.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Santa Ana
Yes. Santa Ana requires a building permit for full roof replacements, and in the city’s historic districts, such as Floral Park and Washington Square, you’ll also need design review approval for the roofing material and color. We handle the paperwork and provide the samples the preservation board wants to see. Call (855) 702-1622 for help with your CertainTeed project.
Landmark shingles are rated for 110 mph wind uplift when installed with the correct number of nails and CertainTeed’s starter strip, which is why they’re a solid choice for Santa Ana’s wind season. The failure we most often see is poor nailing patterns on older installs, not the shingle itself. We inspect and correct those issues during any replacement.
In most cases, crack lines at Monogram lap joints are repairable with new lock seams and corrected fastening, especially on one wall. When cracking runs across multiple sides of the home or the panels show widespread brittleness, replacement is the honest call. Call (855) 702-1622 for a free inspection and an exact quote.
Presidential Shake is a thicker, heavier architectural shingle with a pronounced shake profile, while Landmark is a standard architectural shingle with a smoother dimensional look. For most Santa Ana homes, Landmark is the better value; Presidential Shake suits larger or period-specific homes where the heavier profile matches the architecture and the decking is sound.
Yes. After a significant wind event, we’ll get out to Santa Ana homes quickly for temporary protection and permanent repairs on CertainTeed roofs. If shingles are lifted or flashing is torn, call (855) 702-1622 right away so we can get it sealed before the next rain. Estimates are free.
