CertainTeed Construction in Lexington Hills, CA | Brookside Contractors
We’re an independent contractor providing CertainTeed roofing and siding installation, repair, and replacement across Lexington Hills and the surrounding Santa Cruz Mountains. Our CertainTeed work here is shaped by one thing more than anything else: Lexington Hills sits in California’s wildland-urban interface, where Santa Cruz County enforces strict ignition-resistant construction standards on nearly every reroof and exterior renovation. That changes which CertainTeed products we recommend, how we install them, and what a project actually costs in this community. Call (833) 725-3508 for a free estimate on any CertainTeed project in Lexington Hills.

Why Lexington Hills Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed makes exceptional roofing and siding products, and Lexington Hills tests them harder than almost anywhere else in the Bay Area. Hot, dry summers with seasonal winds. Winter rain that saturates north-facing slopes for months. Ember exposure risk during red-flag days. Our crew has installed and repaired CertainTeed roofs across the Santa Cruz Mountains for over a decade, so we understand how these products perform when the conditions turn hostile. Nate Burrell, our owner and general contractor, trained in construction technology at Gavilan College before spending nearly two decades on job sites throughout South Santa Clara County. His background in structural work and materials comes through in how we approach every CertainTeed job: we match the product to the specific site conditions, not the other way around.
We also understand what it takes to get CertainTeed materials onto a Lexington Hills property. Many of these lots sit at the end of narrow private roads where a full-size delivery truck simply cannot go. That’s not a reason to compromise on materials. It’s a reason to plan the logistics carefully. Learn more about our CertainTeed sales & service across the region.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Lexington Hills
- Granule loss and wind uplift on Presidential Shake roofs: Older Presidential Shake installations in Lexington Hills take a beating from intense UV and constant thermal cycling. The adhesive strips fail, granules wash into gutters after every storm, and seasonal gusts start peeling shingles at the ridge. We see this constantly on homes built in the 1980s and 90s. The fix often involves partial replacement or a full reroof with a system that meets current WUI codes.
- Algae and moss on Landmark Pro shingles: Lexington Hills lots are heavily wooded. On north-facing roof planes, shade and winter moisture persist for months. Landmark Pro is a great asphalt shingle, but it can develop algae staining and moss growth here faster than homeowners expect. That surface degradation shortens service life and clogs granule channels. We address this with proper ventilation, careful cleaning practices, and copper or zinc strips where appropriate.
- Cedar Impressions siding cracking and warping: Many Lexington Hills cabins from the 1960s through the 80s have vinyl or polymer siding, often Cedar Impressions. Ember exposure and radiant heat from nearby fires stress the polymer. On walls without proper clearance from decking, panels can crack and warp. We repair or replace damaged sections and improve defensible space details at the same time.
- Symmetry siding fastener pull-out and oil-canning: Older mountain homes settle. Their wood-framed walls develop uneven sheathing. Symmetry siding is precise, but when the substrate isn’t flat, you get fastener pull-out and visible oil-canning. We fix the underlying framing issues before reinstalling.
- Roof decking and underlayment failures: Lexington Hills gets real rain in winter. When an older roof loses granule protection, water finds the underlayment, then the decking. By the time a homeowner sees a ceiling stain, the damage often extends several feet from the leak. We inspect thoroughly and replace rotted decking rather than shingling over a problem.
CertainTeed Service in Lexington Hills: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what makes Lexington Hills different from San Jose, CertainTeed service in Scotts Valley, or anywhere else down the hill. Because Lexington Hills sits in a high-fire-hazard zone, Santa Cruz County requires Class A roof assemblies and ember-resistant vents on most reroofs. CertainTeed Presidential Shake TL and Landmark Pro shingles meet those standards, but only when they’re installed with the full accessory system and proper underlayment. Skimp on the underlayment, use the wrong ridge vent, or skip the ember-resistant details, and you’ve spent real money on a roof that doesn’t protect the structure the way the county requires. On a steep, wooded lot off Old Santa Cruz Highway, we replaced a failing 1990s Presidential Shake roof that had lost granules and was lifting at the ridge. After staging materials at the bottom of the private road and shuttling them up with a compact lift, our crew installed a new CertainTeed Landmark Pro system with a Class A fire rating and ember-resistant ridge vents. The home came into WUI compliance, and the leaks that had plagued the owner for two winters stopped.
That’s the kind of job we do regularly in Lexington Hills service area work. The logistics take extra coordination. The permitting takes longer. But the result is a roof or siding system that actually meets the standard this community demands.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Lexington Hills
We install and repair the CertainTeed product lines most common on Lexington Hills homes: Presidential Shake TL, Landmark Pro, Cedar Impressions, and Symmetry. For every installation, we use CertainTeed OEM accessories and matching components from the factory. That keeps warranty coverage intact and gives you a system that performs the way the manufacturer intended. When OEM flashing or ventilation parts are backordered, we offer quality aftermarket replacements that don’t compromise performance, and we’ll tell you exactly what we’re using and why. We always recommend repair over replacement when the existing CertainTeed roof or siding still has service life left. But we don’t sugarcoat it when WUI upgrades or storm damage make replacement the safer investment.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Lexington Hills
Yes. CertainTeed Presidential Shake TL carries a Class A fire rating when installed as part of a complete CertainTeed roofing system with proper underlayment and accessories. That’s the key phrase: complete system. The shingle alone doesn’t meet the code. The full assembly does. We install it the way Santa Cruz County reviews it. Call (833) 725-3508 to get a quote for your Lexington Hills property.
Yes. We stage materials at the bottom of the road or at the nearest accessible turnaround and shuttle them up with compact equipment. Cedar Impressions and CertainTeed service in Cambrian Park and Symmetry siding jobs on steep Lexington Hills lots happen regularly. The coordination takes an extra day of labor sometimes, but the work gets done correctly.
Landmark Pro and Presidential Shake TL are our most common recommendations in the WUI. Both offer Class A fire ratings in a full system, and both accept the ember-resistant ridge and soffit vents required by Santa Cruz County. We’ll also discuss underlayment options based on your specific roof pitch and exposure. Call (833) 725-3508 for a free estimate.
Better than basic vinyl, but not perfectly. Cedar Impressions handles UV well, but on heavily shaded north walls, expect some moss and mildew. On walls exposed to radiant heat from nearby vegetation or structures, polymer can warp. Proper clearances and occasional cleaning stretch the service life considerably.
Yes. Storm damage repair is a regular part of our work in Lexington Hills. We assess the damage, document what’s needed for insurance, and repair or replace the affected sections using CertainTeed OEM materials whenever possible. Estimates are free. Call (833) 725-3508 after the storm passes.
