CertainTeed Roofing in Highland, CA | Suncrest Roof Repair
Suncrest Roof Repair provides independent CertainTeed roofing service across Highland, CA (92346). We install, repair, and replace CertainTeed shingle systems with a focus on how this specific brand performs under Highland’s unique weather load: intense UV exposure, Santa Ana wind events, and hail from mountain thunderstorms. Call (866) 538-0713 to schedule a free estimate. We’re not a CertainTeed dealer or factory branch. We’re a local roofing company that works with seven major brands and knows CertainTeed’s product lines well enough to give you an honest read on whether a repair or replacement makes more sense.
Why Highland Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed roofing has a strong track record in Highland, but the shingles are only as good as the installation and ongoing care. We’ve spent nearly two decades working on roofs across the Inland Empire, and Highland’s particular conditions keep showing us the same lessons: south-facing and west-facing slopes take the worst of the sun, and foothill-adjacent homes catch the brunt of Santa Ana wind. Roland Cifuentes, our owner, grew up in Alta Loma and started patching flat commercial roofs along Foothill Boulevard with his uncle before he ever touched a shingle. He went through the construction trades program at Chaffey College and has been diagnosing and repairing roofs ever since. We pair that experience with OEM CertainTeed shingles and accessories when repairs call for them. Color match, sealant compatibility, warranty compliance, it all matters.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Highland
Highland roofs fail in predictable ways, and CertainTeed roofs are no exception. Here’s what we see most often:
- UV granule loss on south- and west-facing slopes. Highland summers are unrelenting. CertainTeed shingles, especially standard architectural lines, shed granules faster here than in coastal cities. That granular loss thins the shingle mat and shortens its life. We inspect granule condition before recommending anything.
- Wind uplift on foothill-facing roofs. Santa Ana winds hammer homes near the base of the San Bernardino Mountains. We regularly find lifted tabs on older Landmark installations, particularly on west-facing slopes where wind channels come down the foothills. Targeted resealing and replacement of damaged shingles fixes this before water gets in.
- Hail bruising from mountain thunderstorms. Highland sits close enough to the mountains that thunderstorms rolling off the range can drop severe hail. Standard CertainTeed architectural shingles take bruising that doesn’t always show immediately. We check for soft spots and fracture lines that later become leaks.
- Sealant strip failure on 1970s-1990s tract homes. Much of Highland was built out in that window, and those original asphalt shingle roofs are comng due. CertainTeed’s sealant strips from that era can let go after decades of heat cycling, especially around flashing details. Winter rains find those gaps. We repair or replace flashing and reseal tabs where the roof still has life.
- Clay tile and wood shake transitions. Highland’s older custom homes often have clay tile or wood shake, and when a section needs replacement, homeowners sometimes switch to CertainTeed architectural shingles. We handle that transition properly, including underlayment and flashing details where tile meets shingle.
If you’ve spotted granules in your gutter or a lifted shingle after a wind event, call (866) 538-0713 and we’ll take a look.
CertainTeed Service in Highland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here’s the reality most generic roofing pages don’t explain. Highland’s position at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains creates a specific wind pattern that affects CertainTeed installations differently than CertainTeed in San Bernardino or other neighboring cities. West-facing slopes near the foothills take direct hits from Santa Ana winds funneling down the passes. On CertainTeed Landmark roofs, that means tab edges lift, sealant strips pop, and shingles tear at the nail line. We saw this firsthand after a strong Santa Ana event, when we were called to a 1980s tract home in the Highland area near the foothills. Several Landmark shingles on the west-facing slope had lifted and torn away. We replaced the damaged shingles with matching CertainTeed Landmark in the original color, resealed the surrounding tabs, and reinforced the flashing to prevent future wind uplift. That’s not a generic fix, it’s a Highland-specific fix. A roofer in San Bernardino or Redlands deals with the same winds, but not the same slope exposure patterns. Highland homes closer to the foothills are a different animal entirely.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Highland
We install and repair the full CertainTeed shingle lineup that applies to Highland’s housing stock. That includes Landmark, the workhorse architectural shingle you’ll find on most tract homes. Presidential, a heavier luxury shingle that shows up on higher-end custom homes. Independence, a mid-range architectural option popular for replacements. And Xtaper, a specialty product with a thicker butt edge that gives a tile-like look, occasionally used when homeowners want the appearance of shake or tile without the weight.
For repairs, we use OEM CertainTeed shingles and accessories for color match and warranty compliance. Where underlayment or flashing needs attention, we use quality aftermarket products when they outperform or match the original. We keep common CertainTeed colors stocked locally so Highland service calls—and CertainTeed repair in Muscoy when needed—don’t stall waiting on a distributor order. If a color is discontinued, we’ll tell you honestly and recommend the closest current match or discuss replacement options.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Highland
Pricing depends on what we find. A targeted repair for a lifted shingle or failed flashing typically falls between $350 and $650 in Highland, depending on slope access and material match. Full shingle replacement on a single west-facing slope runs higher, generally $1,200 to $3,200 for a typical Highland tract home elevation. Complete roof replacement with CertainTeed Landmark on a 1970s-1990s Highland home usually lands between $9,500 and $16,500 depending on square footage, tear-off difficulty, and underlayment needs. Presidential and other heavier lines add to material cost.
Every estimate we give is free and written out line by line. We walk the roof, document what we see, and explain the real scope before any work happens. No change orders, no surprise upcharges. Call (866) 538-0713 and we’ll put you on the schedule.

FAQs – CertainTeed Roofing in Highland
Landmark shingles perform well in Highland when installed correctly, but west-facing slopes near the foothills are vulnerable to wind uplift during strong Santa Ana events. The sealant strips can loosen over years of heat cycling, and once tabs lift, wind gets underneath and tears them away. Proper nailing patterns and occasional resealing go a long way. Call (866) 538-0713 for a slope-specific assessment, especially if your home sits closer to the San Bernardino Mountains, or ask about CertainTeed in Redlands if you’re just outside our core area.
That depends on overall condition, not just the hail hits. If granule loss is already advanced and multiple slopes show sealant failure, repair buys you a few years at best. If the deck and underlayment are still sound and the hail damage is localized, targeted shingle replacement makes sense. We inspect first and tell you straight, repair only what’s needed. Call (866) 538-0713 for a free evaluation.
For most Highland homes, Landmark is the solid default: good UV resistance, proven wind performance when installed right, and color options that suit the area’s tract and custom homes. For homes closer to the foothills with higher wind exposure, Presidential gives a heavier shingle with better resistance to uplift. Independence offers a strong mid-tier option when budget is a factor. We’ll show you all three and explain the real differences. Call (866) 538-0713 for an at-roof consult.
Yes, in most cases. Landmark and Presidential colors remain available through distributors, and we keep common Highland colors stocked. If your color has been discontinued, we’ll source the closest current match and show you the comparison before installing. Call (866) 538-0713 with your shingle color name if you have it, and we’ll check availability.
Some Highland custom homes have flat roof sections or low-slope areas, often over patios or attached garages. We service those areas with CertainTeed’s low-slope system approach, including membranes and proper drainage details, and also provide CertainTeed service in Loma Linda for similar low-slope needs. If you have a flat section that’s leaking, call (866) 538-0713 and we’ll assess what’s going on.
