CertainTeed Construction in Mountain View, CA | Viceroy Construction
Viceroy Construction provides independent CertainTeed roofing installation, repair, and replacement across Mountain View. We are not a manufacturer-authorized dealer, and we don’t pretend to be. What we are is a full-scope general contractor that has spent years reroofing the specific housing stock Mountain View throws at you: Eichler post-and-beam frames, low-slope built-up roofs, and mid-century radiant slabs that punish careless nailing. Call (877) 358-6557 for a free estimate on any CertainTeed roof system, from Landmark architectural shingles to Flintlastic SA membrane replacement on flat patio covers.
Why Mountain View Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Most roofing crews in the South Bay can nail down a bundle of Landmark shingles. Fewer understand what happens when those shingles go on a 1960s Eichler with a 2:12 pitch, zero attic ventilation, and original radiant copper tubing running through the slab just below the fascia. Neil Drummond grew up in the Saratoga foothills and trained in the building trades program at West Valley College, where framing, concrete, and structural work were taught as one connected system, not separate trades. That’s how we scope General Contractor – Mountain View work: the roof, the wall junction, the flashing, and what’s underneath all get looked at together before the first ladder goes up. We stock CertainTeed OEM underlayments, ridge ventilation, and edge metal locally, so a repair in Monta Loma doesn’t wait a week on a distributor shipment. You get the system installed the way CertainTeed’s specs actually call for, not the way a sub-crew rushing to the next job decides to do it.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Mountain View
- Landmark shingles cracking on low-slope Eichler roofs. Waverly Park and Monta Loma Eichlers were built with roof pitches that sit right at the edge of shingle tolerances. Without proper ventilation, the shingle field bakes in Mountain View’s dry summer sun and starts losing granules along the drip edge within a decade. We see it constantly. The fix is usually a full reroof with the right ventilation profile, not another patch job.
- Flintlastic SA membrane seams peeling on old patio and carport roofs. A lot of Mountain View homes from the 1950s have flat patio covers and carports that originally got built-up roofing. When someone lays Flintlastic SA directly over that old BUR without a cover board, the seams open up within three to five years. We strip to the deck, install the cover board, and reapply the membrane properly.
- Presidential Shake laminates delaminating at hip and ridge caps. High-UV summers in the Santa Clara Valley are brutal on laminated shingles. If they’re nailed high in the exposure, the caps start separating. Mountain View’s dry season stretches from May through October, and that’s enough to break down a bad installation fast.
- Cedar Impressions siding buckling on west-side Eichlers. Eichler walls weren’t built with sheathing, and the daily temperature swing in Mountain View can open up caulk joints and warp siding panels on the west-facing elevations. A CertainTeed siding replacement needs backer rod and a flexible sealant schedule that accounts for that movement.
- Radiant slab copper damage during reroof work. This is the one that keeps roofers up at night in Mountain View. The copper piping in the original radiant slabs runs close to the roof-to-wall junction, and a nail or screw driven too deep during fascia replacement will puncture the heating loop. We scan before we dig. Always.
CertainTeed Service in Mountain View: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Mountain View’s construction market runs on a split personality. The west side holds the Eichler-era single-family homes with flat or low-slope roofs, radiant slab heat, and uninsulated walls. Downtown and North Bayshore are filling with mid-rise offices and apartments on infill lots. Contractors here constantly juggle residential remodel scopes with commercial tenant-improvement schedules and notoriously long City of Mountain View plan-check timelines. That combination doesn’t exist in our Sunnyvale CertainTeed service area or Palo Alto. For CertainTeed owners, it means two things. First, your roofer needs to know the difference between a Landmark shingle field on a 4:12 ranch in Los Altos and a Flintlastic SA membrane on a 1:12 Eichler carport in Monta Loma. The systems are completely different. Second, any reroof that touches flashing or fascia on an Eichler tract means dealing with that radiant slab risk. Mountain View’s Eichler neighborhoods in Waverly Park and Monta Loma have original 1950s copper piping that runs within inches of the roof-to-wall junction. If you don’t scan the slab and hand-dig around the footing, you’re gambling with a $15,000 heating loop repair. We’ve seen what happens when someone skips that step. We’ve also fixed it.
On a Waverly Park Eichler with a low-slope built-up roof, we tore off failing Flintlastic SA and found the original copper radiant piping exposed at the fascia after a previous roofer nailed too deep. Our crew scanned the slab, hand-dug the footing, and installed a CertainTeed Landmark system with a cold-applied underlayment and new edge metal. The homeowner avoided a slab leak and passed Mountain View’s plan check on the first resubmittal. The details you don’t see are the ones that matter most.

We install and repair the full CertainTeed roofing line across Mountain View ZIP codes 94035, 94039, 94040, and 94041. Landmark architectural shingles, including Landmark TL and Landmark Pro, cover the bulk of the pitched roofs we handle on 1940s through 1960s ranch tracts. Presidential Shake and Presidential Solaris go on larger custom homes where the homeowner wants a heavier profile. Flintlastic SA self-adhered modified bitumen is our standard for the low-slope patio roofs and carports that are everywhere in the Eichler neighborhoods. We also handle Cedar Impressions siding on re-side projects, though we’re selective about when we recommend it on unsheathed Eichler walls. For parts, we use CertainTeed OEM underlayments, ventilation, and flashing every time. Mixing brands voids the system warranty and creates exactly the kind of callback that gives roofing a bad name in this valley. For repairs, we match existing Landmark or Presidential profiles when the damage is contained, but once shingle brittleness or membrane seam failure exceeds 20% of the roof area, we recommend full replacement. Patching beyond that point is throwing money at a roof that’s already done.

AfterCertainTeed Service Pricing in Mountain View
CertainTeed roof work in Mountain View runs on three variables: the roof’s pitch, the deck condition, and whether we’re dealing with an Eichler radiant slab. Flat and low-slope roofs with Flintlastic SA cost more per square foot than a simple shingle replacement because of the cover board and membrane detailing. Deck repairs add to the total. And on west-side Eichlers, the slab scan and hand-digging add a day of labor most roofers won’t quote you, which is exactly why their change orders show up later. Our estimates are free, and they’re line-itemed so you can see where the money goes.
| Service | Mountain View Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 – $40,000 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600 – $2,500 |
Call (877) 358-6557 and we’ll walk the roof with you, measure the pitch, check the deck, and tell you exactly what a CertainTeed system will cost on your house. No square-footage guesswork over the phone.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Mountain View
It depends on the actual pitch. Landmark shingles are rated down to 2:12, but only with the right underlayment and ventilation detailing. On a Monta Loma Eichler with a true 2:12 pitch and no attic ventilation, we often recommend Flintlastic SA for the low-slope sections and reserve Landmark for the steeper gable ends. A roof inspection gives us the exact slope measurements. Call (877) 358-6557 to schedule one.
Mountain View gets most of its rain between November and March, and that’s when leaks go from a minor drip to a drywall-damaging problem. We schedule CertainTeed repairs year-round, but fall is the busiest window because homeowners want everything watertight before the first significant storm. If you have a known issue, September and October are the months to get on the calendar.
Yes. If your Waverly Park Eichler still has the original 1950s radiant slab with copper piping, any reroof that involves new flashing or fascia repair requires a slab scan and careful hand-digging around the footing. A punctured heating loop is a five-figure repair. We include the scan in every Eichler reroof estimate. Call (877) 358-6557 and we’ll explain what the scan covers.
We use CertainTeed’s winter guard and synthetic underlayments matched to the roof pitch and the home’s ventilation profile. On Eichler low-slope sections, we step up to the self-adhered underlayment that CertainTeed specs for 2:12 pitches. Mixing in off-brand underlayment voids the system warranty, so we don’t.
A properly documented CertainTeed spec sheet and installation detail can speed up plan check at the City of Mountain View because the reviewer is working from a known system rather than questioning a custom detail. That’s especially true on reroofs in the Eichler tracts where the plan reviewer wants to see how flashing and edge metal will interface with the original post-and-beam framing. We provide that documentation as part of every permit submittal.
