CertainTeed Construction in Placentia, CA | Alder Contractors
We provide independent CertainTeed installation and repair across Placentia, from tear-off roof replacements on 1950s tract homes to fiber cement siding on second-story additions. What makes our CertainTeed work different here is simple: we know how these products behave on the small, built-out lots and Santa Ana-exposed rooflines that define this city. Call (833) 467-7020 for a free estimate.
Why Placentia Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’ve worked CertainTeed exterior and interior products across hundreds of Placentia postwar remodels. That means we’ve seen how Landmark shingles hold up after a Santa Ana wind event on a 1959 roof deck, and how CedarBoards siding chalks on a south-facing wall that gets hammered by dry-summer UV. Nelson Ibarra, our owner, grew up around Inland Empire job sites and spent years on Placentia-area re-roofs and additions before founding Alder Contractors. His father was a drywall finisher who brought him to job sites as a kid, so the trade got into his blood early. That background shows up in how we scope CertainTeed work: we check the decking, the flashing, the tie-ins, and the fasteners, not just the shingle line. We’re an independent contractor, not authorized or warranty-endorsed by CertainTeed, and we’ll tell you when a repair makes sense and when it doesn’t.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Placentia
- Granule loss and seal-strip failure on Landmark and Presidential shingles. Placentia’s low-slope postwar roofs catch repeated Santa Ana wind uplift and dry-summer heat cycling. The seal strips let go, granules shed into the gutters, and the shingles start flapping. We see this most often on original 1950s-60s roofs that have never been re-decked.
- Chalking and fading on sun-baked CertainTeed siding. CedarBoards and Cedar Impressions on south- and west-facing elevations fade noticeably sooner in the Santa Ana basin’s high-UV, low-humidity summers than on shaded sides. The polymer skin breaks down, and the color washes out unevenly.
- Brittle original vinyl siding that cracks at fastener points. CertainTeed Symphony and Monogram vinyl installed tight on 1960s tract homes has no room to move thermally. When we tie in an addition or re-roof, that old siding cracks at the nails. It’s not a product defect; it’s an installation shortcut from sixty years ago.
- Flashing and underlayment failures at addition tie-ins. Wind-driven rain and dry-season dust get under CertainTeed roof systems where a second-story addition meets the original roofline. The shingles are fine; the integration wasn’t flashed properly.
- Undocumented prior improvements under addition and ADU slabs. Old shed slabs, root cellars, and shallow outbuilding footings hide under Placentia’s citrus-era lots. When we dig for a new foundation, we often find surprises that affect how the CertainTeed roof and siding tie into the new structure.
CertainTeed Service in Placentia: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Placentia’s citrus-era lots around Old Town and the 92870 core routinely hide undocumented prior improvements. Old shed slabs, root cellars, and shallow outbuilding footings sit under the topsoil, and crews hit them when digging for ADU slabs and addition foundations. That excavation never appears on the original tract drawings. For CertainTeed in Anaheim and Placentia owners, this matters more than people expect: when a second-story addition goes up, the roof tie-in has to flash against the original structure at the exact point where the old foundation is now carrying new load. If the footing wasn’t spec’d for that, the wall moves slightly, and the CertainTeed flashing separates. We scope CertainTeed roof and siding tie-ins around excavation that never shows up on any permit record. Do it right the first time, the callback always costs more than the extra hour up front.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Placentia
We install and repair the full CertainTeed exterior line: Landmark Pro and Landmark asphalt shingles, Presidential Shake TL designer shingles, CedarBoards and Cedar Impressions polymer siding, WeatherBoards fiber cement siding, and Symphony and Monogram vinyl siding. For repairs and course-matching, we use CertainTeed OEM shingles, accessory flashing, and matching siding components wherever the spec calls for them. We turn to quality aftermarket underlayment and fasteners only when OEM isn’t practical. On a 20-year-old CertainTeed roof with widespread granule loss or brittle siding, we’ll honestly steer you toward full replacement rather than chase patch after patch. We keep common CertainTeed shingle colors and siding profiles stocked for fast Placentia turnaround, and anything we don’t have on the truck we can source within a day or two. See our full CertainTeed sales & service page for the complete scope.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Placentia
Yes, we do it regularly, and we always check the decking and slope first. CertainTeed Landmark and Landmark Pro shingles perform well on low-slope roofs when the decking is solid and the underlayment is spec’d correctly. If the original decking is shot, we re-deck before we install. Call (833) 467-7020 and we’ll take a look at your roof in person.
Yes. We stock common CertainTeed shingle colors and siding profiles, and we can source specific lines like Cedar Impressions or WeatherBoards to match what’s already on your Placentia home. Course-matching a 1960s original roof is harder, but we’ll tell you honestly whether a patch will look right or whether you’re better off replacing the whole elevation.
Santa Ana wind uplift and dry-summer heat cycling break down the seal strips and loosen granules on low-slope roofs. If your gutters are filling with granules within a few years of installation, the decking or ventilation may be the issue, not the shingles. We’ll diagnose it during a free estimate.
CertainTeed’s product warranty comes from CertainTeed, not from us. We’re an independent contractor, not authorized or warranty-endorsed by CertainTeed. What we stand behind is our installation workmanship. If a product defect shows up, we’ll help you navigate the manufacturer claim.
We do. Placentia’s tear-down rebuilds and ADU additions are a big part of our CertainTeed work. We scope the roof and siding tie-ins around the excavation and foundation work, including any undocumented prior improvements we uncover during digging. Call (833) 467-7020 to talk through your project.
