CertainTeed Construction in Placentia, CA | Workshop Contractors
We’re an independent general contractor installing and repairing CertainTeed roofing and exterior systems across Placentia’s citrus-era core and its newer tract housing, and we also offer CertainTeed service in Brea. The thing that separates our CertainTeed work here is knowing how the product behaves on the city’s unusual deep-lot older homes, where rear additions and alley-access staging create problems a standard re-roof never has to solve. If you need a CertainTeed roof or repair in the 92870 or 92871 ZIP, call Noel Figueroa and the Workshop Contractors team at (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate.
Why Placentia Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’ve spent years on ladders and roof decks across Placentia’s split housing stock and providing CertainTeed in Anaheim. The 1920s through 1950s citrus-belt houses near downtown behave differently under CertainTeed shingles than the 1960s-to-1980s tract homes do. That matters when you’re deciding between a repair and a full replacement. Noel Figueroa grew up in Ontario’s Vineyard neighborhood and learned framing and finish work from the same generation of tradesmen who built half the Inland Empire. He has carried that hands-on standard into every Placentia job we run.
Because we’re a single-source contractor, we handle the deck, flashing, underlayment, and shingles as one system. We don’t hand you off to a roofer for the CertainTeed portion and a framer for the rotted deck underneath. One contract, one team. We also carry genuine CertainTeed accessories, starter strip, hip-and-ridge, and specified underlayments rather than aftermarket substitutes. That’s a choice we make because wind warranties quietly die when components get mixed.
We’re independent. CertainTeed does not authorize, sponsor, or warranty-endorse us. We simply know the product line well and install it to manufacturer spec. For deeper detail on our CertainTeed sales & service experience, start there.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Placentia
- Accelerated granule loss on Landmark shingles. South- and west-facing roof slopes on Placentia tract homes take the worst of the summer sun and Santa Ana wind cycling. We regularly see Landmark shingles on those exposures losing granules and curling at tabs years before the north and east slopes even look weathered. The fix is often a selective slope replacement with proper underlayment, not a whole-roof tear-off.
- Nail pops and ridge cracking where additions meet the original structure. Older Placentia homes on deep lots frequently have rear additions framed onto shallower foundations than the original house. CertainTeed shingles laid across that transition telegraph the movement at the seam. You get nail pops in a straight line and cracked ridge caps. We strip that section, re-flash the transition, and re-sheathe before reinstalling.
- Cedar Impressions siding failing at bottom courses and penetrations. On pre-1960s Placentia walls, Cedar Impressions panels trap moisture when the original stucco weep details weren’t restored. Water sits behind the panel, and the bottom course starts to fail. The panel isn’t the problem. The drainage detail behind it is. We fix the flashing and weep path before reinstalling.
- Underlayment failure under tile systems. CertainTeed RoofRunner and DiamondDeck underlayments can fail as valley leaks on deep-lot Placentia homes where mature trees shade the roof. Shaded roofs stay wet longer than the shingle rating assumes. Valley leaks and deck rot follow. We open the valley, inspect the deck, and replace the underlayment with the manufacturer’s specified product.
- Skip-sheathing on original citrus-era roofs. A lot of Placentia’s 1920s and 1930s houses still have skip-sheathing under the shingles, or a single layer of old felt that’s long since broken down. CertainTeed shingles over that substrate telegraph deck movement at every gap. We’re honest about what a repair buys on those roofs, and when the assembly is at end-of-life.
CertainTeed Service in Placentia: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
The older neighborhoods near historic downtown Placentia have something the newer master-planned edges of the city don’t: citrus-era lots that run unusually deep, with rear second units and oversized alley-facing garages. That changes how a CertainTeed job gets staged. You’re not parking a shingle delivery in the driveway and dumping the old roof into a bin at the curb. You’re running materials through a narrow alley, coordinating with neighbors on both sides, and keeping dust control tight because the houses sit close together.
On one alley-access lot off the older streets near downtown, we re-roofed a 1940s citrus-belt house with a rear addition framed onto a shallower foundation. The CertainTeed Landmark shingles over that seam had cracked and lifted after years of differential settling. We stripped to the deck, re-sheathed and re-flashed the transition, and installed new CertainTeed underlayment and Landmark Pro with matched ridge vent. The dumpster and bundles stayed in the alley. The neighbors got dust control. The homeowner got a roof that moves as one plane instead of two. That’s the kind of logistics problem builders on the newer edges of Placentia never see, and it’s why our CertainTeed work here looks different.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Placentia
We install and repair the full range of CertainTeed residential roofing and exterior systems: Landmark and Landmark Pro architectural shingles, Presidential Shake luxury laminated, Cedar Impressions siding, and CertainTeed tile underlayment systems including RoofRunner and DiamondDeck. For repairs, we stock common CertainTeed accessory components for faster turnaround across Placentia and CertainTeed in Fullerton, and source the rest through our supplier network quickly.
The parts decision matters. We use genuine CertainTeed ridge vent, starter, hip-and-ridge, and specified underlayments. When aftermarket components get mixed into a CertainTeed system, wind warranties fade quietly. Where the deck or flashing is the actual problem, we fix that instead of layering new shingles over a failing substrate. We’ll tell you plainly whether a repair buys five years or the assembly is done.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Placentia
They will if the seam isn’t properly re-flashed and re-sheathed before the shingles go on. Differential settling between the original foundation and a shallower addition foundation is the root cause, and new shingles alone won’t fix it. We strip that section, reinforce or re-sheathe the transition, install a proper flashing detail, and then lay the CertainTeed shingles. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll inspect the seam before you spend money on shingles that would fail the same way.
Yes, measurably. The older core near historic downtown has alley-access rear garages and second units on deep lots, which means dumpsters, shingle bundles, and tear-off debris all move through a narrow alley rather than a front driveway. It adds labor and coordination, and it’s one reason bids on those Placentia homes should never be compared to bids for standard tract subdivisions. We plan for that staging before we give you a number.
South- and west-facing slopes take the worst of it. Repeated hot-summer cycling bakes granules loose, and Santa Ana wind events then strip the loosened material and curl the tabs. On some Placentia tract homes we see south-facing Landmark shingles age out five to seven years before the rest of the roof. That’s a slope-by-slope repair situation, not necessarily a full replacement. Call (844) 384-3361 for a slope-specific assessment.
CertainTeed’s material warranty covers the product itself when it’s installed to the manufacturer’s specification, but Workshop Contractors is not authorized, sponsored, or warranty-endorsed by CertainTeed. We install to spec and use genuine CertainTeed accessories because that’s what the product requires to perform. The workmanship side is covered by our own accountability as your contractor. We’ll explain the distinction clearly before you sign anything.
Usually, on targeted sections. Valley leaks, flashing failures, slope-specific granule loss, and seam cracking around additions are all repairable when caught before the deck rots through. If the deck is sound and the flashing can be corrected, a repair makes sense. If the underlayment has failed across the whole roof plane, you’re better off replacing. That’s the honest line we walk on every Placentia estimate.
