If you’re in Mentone and you want a CertainTeed roof looked at, we’re your crew. If we think a repair will hold, we’ll tell you. If we think it won’t, we’ll tell you that too. CertainTeed sales & service across the foothills has been a big part of our work, and Mentone’s specific conditions keep us on our toes.

Why Mentone Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service

Gil Tanner, our owner, grew up in the Montrose area of Glendale, where hillside homes with aging roofs were just part of the daily backdrop. He picked up the fundamentals at Glendale Community College’s construction technology program, then spent years working alongside experienced roofers on everything from flat torch-down decks to clay tile on Spanish Revival homes. What he carries from all of it is a simple rule: tell me what the roof is actually doing, and I’ll tell you what it actually needs.

That rule matters in Mentone because this isn’t a flat tract-home market. We’ve re-decked and re-roofed a lot of CertainTeed Landmark and XT installations across the San Bernardino foothills, and we’ve seen how the original cedar shake on 1950s and 60s ranch homes behaves once it’s been buried under a layer or two of later shingles. We match replacement shingles to the existing field for color, exposure, and sealant line, and we stay with genuine CertainTeed accessories for visible ridge and hip work. You get a repair that actually blends, not one you’ll spot from the driveway every morning.

We also serve the whole Mentone service area, including the semi-rural lots off Crafton Avenue and the mobile and manufactured homes scattered through the 92359 ZIP. If you’ve got a detached garage or outbuilding that needs separate attention, that’s part of the job for us. One company, one assessment, one honest recommendation.

Common CertainTeed Roofing Problems We Solve in Mentone

• Santa Ana wind lifting on east-facing slopes. The prevailing wind coming off the San Bernardino Mountains hits the windward planes hardest. We regularly find Landmark ridge caps and hip shingles that have lost their seal and turned into uplifts after a fall wind event. The street-facing slope looks fine. The east side doesn’t. That’s a pattern we know to check first on every Mentone CertainTeed roof.
• Cracked original cedar shake layered under XT 25 or Landmark courses. Mentone’s hot, dry summers bake 1950s and 60s cedar shake until it’s brittle. When a later CertainTeed overlay traps heat against it, the shake underneath can crack and shift, telegraphing through as buckled or lifted shingles. This one shows up all over the older Craftsman-influenced homes on large lots here.
• Winter frost and rare snow exposing flashing failures. Your CertainTeed shingles can look fine through the dry season and then leak after a cold snap. We trace most of these to pipe collars, valleys, and wall intersections where sun-baked shingles hide failing flashing for months. Mentone’s mountain proximity means frost hits more than Redlands or Highland, and that temperature swing finds the weak spots.
• Flintlastic SA low-slope membrane cracking at slope transitions. Detached garages and rear additions in Mentone often have Flintlastic SA tie-ins where the original deck was never re-pitched. Water ponds at the transition, the membrane seams crack along that line, and the leak starts years before the visible shingle field looks worn. We see this a lot on outbuildings.
• Ember-entry risks on older WUI assemblies. Mentone sits in a high-fire-severity zone, and a lot of older CertainTeed roofs here were done before current ember-resistant vent standards. We check vents, gaps, and underlayment condition as part of every inspection, because the fire marshal’s standard isn’t just about the shingle class anymore.

CertainTeed Service in Mentone: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof

Here’s the thing about Mentone that a generic CertainTeed page won’t tell you. The east-facing roof planes on 1950s and 60s cedar-shake homes here take the prevailing wind off the San Bernardino Mountains and crack or lift first after a Santa Ana event. We’ve walked enough of these roofs to know the pattern before we climb the ladder. The windward slope fails while the street-facing side looks untouched. That asymmetry is a Mentone signature, and it rarely shows up in the newer tract neighborhoods down the hill in Redlands or Highland, where the homes are newer, the lots are smaller, and the original shake was never part of the equation.

After a fall Santa Ana event, we were called to a mid-century ranch off Crafton Avenue where a 1950s cedar shake roof had been re-covered decades earlier with CertainTeed XT 25 shingles. The east-facing plane had lifted and split along the eave while the street-facing slope looked untouched. We stripped the layered shake and shingle assembly to the deck, replaced soft sheathing, and installed CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles over a fire-rated underlayment with ember-resistant vent detailing, bringing the windward slope up to the Class A standard the WUI location calls for. That’s what CertainTeed service in Calimesa and Mentone actually looks like: reading the local conditions, then building to match them.

CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Mentone

We service the full range of CertainTeed roofing products you’re likely to find on Mentone homes. Landmark architectural shingles are the most common, and we keep a strong stock of common colors locally so a repair on a recent roof doesn’t wait on a distributor order. XT 25 three-tab shingles show up on older overlays, and we know how to match their exposure and coloration when a repair is the right call. Presidential Shake and Presidential TL are out there on higher-end homes, especially the Craftsman-influenced ones with the larger lots. And Flintlastic SA modified-bitumen membrane is the low-slope standard on detached garages, rear additions, and covered patios.

Our parts approach is straightforward. For visible field and ridge work, we stay with genuine CertainTeed shingles and accessories so the repair blends. For underlayments, vents, and flashing, we use quality aftermarket components where they outperform the OEM option, especially in Mentone’s fire-zone conditions. We’re not authorized by CertainTeed, and that’s worth being clear about. We’re independent. Our credibility comes from the roofs we’ve fixed and replaced, not from a manufacturer badge.
