Why Pomona Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service

CertainTeed is a brand we spec and install regularly because it holds up well when it’s put on correctly. Rick Sondermann, our owner, grew up around finish carpentry and has spent nearly three decades building and renovating homes along the Southern California coast and inland. His father’s rule was simple: do it right the first time, because the second time always costs more. That’s the way we approach every CertainTeed roof in Pomona.

We’re not a CertainTeed dealer or factory outlet. We’re an independent general contractor with full access to CertainTeed shingle lines, underlayments, and accessories. We guide you toward the right CertainTeed product for your Pomona home, whether that’s a Landmark architectural shingle for a 1920s Craftsman in 91766 or a Flintlastic membrane for a low-slope porch roof in 91768. Our CertainTeed sales & service experience means we know what these products do in the field, not just what the data sheet says.

Pomona homes demand more than a standard roof replacement. We handle full exterior envelope scope under one contract, so if your CertainTeed roof replacement exposes rotted fascia or failing gutters, we fix those in the same pass rather than handing you a list of subcontractors. One team, full scope. That’s the Polaris difference in Pomona.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Pomona

• Wind-scuffed and lifted shingle tabs on CertainTeed Landmark roofs. Santa Ana winds funnel down from the San Gabriels and hit Pomona’s older grid hard. We see tabs lifted on south-facing planes and ridge caps where repeated gusts worked the seals loose. We replace the affected courses with matching CertainTeed Landmark shingles and re-seal the cap to spec.
• Premature granule loss and algae streaking on north- and west-facing planes. Pomona’s hot, dry summers bake CertainTeed Landmark shingles, and older bungalows with minimal attic venting cook the deck from underneath. The result is granule shedding that leaves bald patches and streaks. We address the roof and the venting, because replacing shingles over a superheated attic just repeats the cycle.
• Torn underlayment and flashing around chimneys and valleys on pre-1960s roofs. Many Pomona homes in 91766 and 91767 were re-layered rather than torn off decades ago. The clay soil moves the roof planes, and the old underlayment tears at the valley and chimney transitions. We strip to deck, re-lay CertainTeed RoofRunner or equivalent underlayment, and rebuild the flashing details properly.
• Flintlastic low-slope seams pulling at the laps. Porch roofs and additions across Pomona often have low-slope sections with Flintlastic or similar modified bitumen. Summer heat and the seasonal movement of clay-heavy soil work the laps until they open. We re-fuse the seams and add proper fastening at the terminations.
• Cracked ridge caps from repeated hot/dry cycling. Ridges on Pomona homes face relentless sun exposure. Hairline cracks open along the ridge line, letting water in slowly. We see this on certain homes every few years because the expansion and contraction never stops. We replace ridge caps with new CertainTeed matching caps and re-seal correctly.

CertainTeed Service in Pomona: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

On Pomona’s older grid, a lot of the roof stress we get called about isn’t just sun and wind. It’s the expansive clay under those shallow foundations moving the roof planes themselves. In neighborhoods like the 91766 flats and the older sections of 91767, we routinely find shingle and flashing failures clustered right above foundation cracks and sticking doors. The house moves seasonally as the clay swells with winter moisture and shrinks through the dry summer, and the roof deck twists with it.

That’s why a generic CertainTeed patch job that ignores the foundation movement won’t last in Pomona. At a 1920s Craftsman in the 91766 flats, our team found the original shingle course lifting at the ridge and a valley flashing torn where the roof plane had settled over an expanding clay foundation. We stripped to the deck, replaced rotted sheathing, re-laid CertainTeed underlayment and Landmark architectural shingles, and ran new gutters tied to corrected drainage. The leaks stopped and the ridge line finally sat straight.

This is information you won’t get from a generic CertainTeed product page or a city service listing. Pomona’s clay soil is the variable. We build around it, not in spite of it.

CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Pomona

We work with the CertainTeed product lines most common on Pomona homes: Landmark architectural shingles, XT25 underlayment, RoofRunner synthetic underlayment, Presidio and Highland Slate designer shingles, and Flintlastic for low-slope sections. Our approach is straightforward: where the existing CertainTeed system is intact, we use CertainTeed factory shingles, underlayments, and matching accessories. Where a full CertainTeed assembly isn’t warranted, we use code-compliant aftermarket flashing and fasteners. We stock common CertainTeed Landmark colors and RoofRunner underlayment locally so we can move quickly on Pomona repairs without waiting on a distributor.

When a roof has two or more layers, active leaks at the deck, or rotted sheathing, we tell you honestly to replace rather than patch and re-caulk. Some Pomona roofs have been layered three times since the 1950s, and adding a fourth layer isn’t a repair, it’s a delay.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Pomona

Are you authorized by CertainTeed?

No, Polaris Contractors is an independent general contractor. We’re not sponsored, endorsed, or authorized by CertainTeed. We install their products because they’re good, and we know them well from daily use. That independence means we’ll recommend what’s right for your Pomona home, not what a brand program pushes.

Do you use genuine CertainTeed parts on repairs?

We use CertainTeed factory shingles, underlayments, and matching accessories wherever the existing CertainTeed system is intact and warrants a full-assembly repair. Where only flashing or fasteners need replacement, we use code-compliant aftermarket parts. We’ll tell you which applies on your Pomona roof before we touch anything.

How long does a CertainTeed roof replacement take in Pomona?

Most tear-off and replacement jobs on Pomona homes run 3 to 7 working days, depending on deck condition, roof complexity, and whether we’re also replacing gutters or fascia. Older 91766 and 91767 homes with rotted sheathing take longer because we won’t lay shingles over bad wood. Call (855) 473-6535 and we’ll give you an honest timeline for your specific roof.

Which CertainTeed models do you cover?

We service and install Landmark architectural shingles, XT25 and RoofRunner underlayments, Presidio and Highland Slate designer shingles, and Flintlastic modified bitumen for low-slope sections. If you have a different CertainTeed line, call us. We’ll confirm the product and let you know what the repair scope looks like.

Should we add new gutters when we get a CertainTeed roof replacement?

Usually yes, especially on Pomona homes with clay soil and drainage issues. If your current gutters are original or poorly sloped, they’re dumping water at the foundation line, which feeds the expansive clay and worsens the movement that cracks roofs and walls. We’ll inspect the gutter system as part of your roof estimate and recommend replacement where it makes sense. Call (855) 473-6535 for a free roof and gutter assessment.
