AfterCertainTeed Construction in Garland, CA | Rowan Construction Group
We install and service CertainTeed roofing, siding, and exterior products across Garland as an independent contractor - not a factory-authorized dealer - and we also handle CertainTeed in Dallas. What makes our CertainTeed work here different is that we’ve spent almost two decades on Garland’s 1950s-70s slab-on-grade tract homes, so every roof or siding job starts with a foundation-movement check most contractors skip. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written price before anyone picks up a tool.
Why Garland Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Grant Rowan founded this company in 2007 after training in construction technology at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, where the coursework covered framing, concrete, and estimating before he ever took a paying job. That estimating habit stuck: we quote every CertainTeed job as a flat written price with a written scope, and no work proceeds on a change until you sign the change order. Garland homeowners dealing with hail-split shingles or clay-heaved siding don’t need a contractor who guesses - they need one who documents what’s there before quoting what’s next. That’s the discipline behind our 4,000-plus projects. Every estimate includes a foundation-level assessment because in Garland, a racked exterior wall defeats even a perfectly installed CertainTeed system. We’re also the crew that answers the phone with a live person, sends background-checked, uniformed technicians, and handles Certainteed repair in Plano as well. you a photo record of what we found and what we did on every visit.
Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Garland
- Hail impact fractures on Landmark shingles. Garland sits inside major DFW hailstorm paths, and the bruising pattern on CertainTeed Landmark shingles is distinctive: granule loss at the impact point with a soft, dented mat underneath. The damage often goes unnoticed until the next heavy spring rain forces water through the compromised mat and stains a ceiling.
- Cracked and popped siding from swelling black clay. Improper nailing of CertainTeed WeatherBoards fiber cement or Cedar Impressions siding leaves no room for the seasonal heave Garland’s soils deliver. Boards nailed tight against shifting walls crack at the corners or pop fasteners when the clay swells after rain and shrinks during drought.
- Failed flashing at chimneys and skylights on mid-century homes. The brick veneer on Garland’s 1950s and ’60s ranch homes has spent sixty years moving with the slab. When the veneer shifts enough to open a gap, the flashing around a chimney or skylight pulls loose, and a CertainTeed roof that should last thirty years starts leaking at year eight.
- Premature sealant failure on west-facing roofs. Garland’s afternoon sun beats on west and southwest roof planes, drying out the sealant around CertainTeed pipe boots and vents years before the shingles themselves wear out. The result is a roof that’s structurally sound but leaking through a dozen small points.
- Mismatched repairs from aftermarket parts. We regularly see Garland roofs where a previous contractor patched hail damage with generic shingles or off-brand ridge caps. The color never matches, the warranty is void, and the repair fails again in the next storm because the materials weren’t engineered to work as a system.
BeforeAfterCertainTeed Service in Garland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Garland’s central and south-side neighborhoods - the belt of brick-veneer ranch homes running through the Belt Line Road corridor and down toward South Garland High School - sit on the deepest bands of Dallas County’s black clay. In those ZIP codes, seasonal soil movement can exceed two vertical inches per year. The slab heaves, the brick veneer racks, the door frames go trapezoidal, and every board and shingle nailed to the exterior moves with it. So when a Garland homeowner calls us about a CertainTeed roof or siding job, we don’t start on the roof. We start with a laser level on the slab and a documented check for differential settlement. A roof installed on a racked exterior frame will leak at the flashing joints within a few seasons no matter how well it’s nailed, because the geometry it’s attached to is moving. That’s the sequence that actually makes CertainTeed work last here: foundation first, then the weather envelope. It’s a local reality that a contractor working Mesquite or Richardson jobs doesn’t trigger at the same rate, because Garland’s particular clay subgrade and high concentration of unreinforced 1950s slabs make foundation disclosure a near-standard part of every construction contract we write.
Our crew replaced a hail-damaged CertainTeed Landmark roof on a 1962 brick ranch near South Garland High School a few years back, only to find the east wall had shifted nearly an inch out of plumb. Before we could warranty the new CertainTeed WeatherBoards siding, we documented the slab crack with a laser level, brought in a foundation engineer, and scheduled two piers under the affected corner. After that movement was locked down, we installed the CertainTeed roof and siding with full confidence it would stay weathertight. Measure twice, say it once, show your work.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Garland
We install and repair the CertainTeed product lines that make sense for Garland’s climate and housing stock. For most mid-century and 1980s homes, that’s CertainTeed Landmark asphalt shingles and WeatherBoards fiber cement siding. On higher-end Garland homes in the northern sections, we also work with DiamondBack and Grand Manor slate-look shingles, and Cedar Impressions polymer siding for homeowners who want the look of wood without the hail vulnerability. Our parts stance is strict: factory-specified CertainTeed starter strips, hip-and-ridge caps, and roof deck protection only. Mixing aftermarket parts voids the manufacturer’s warranty and shortens lifespan in Garland’s hail-and-clay conditions. We repair with matching CertainTeed products when damage is isolated and the sheathing is sound; once decking shows rot or the underlayment is compromised, we recommend full replacement rather than patchwork that fails on the next heave cycle.
CertainTeed Service Pricing in Garland
Here are the line-item ranges for the CertainTeed work Garland homeowners ask about most. These are written-price ranges - when you call, we walk the property, document the conditions, and hand you a flat number before any work begins.
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement (CertainTeed Landmark shingles) | $8,000 - $20,000 |
| Roof Repair (hail damage, flashing, vents) | $400 - $1,800 |
| Full Kitchen Remodel (includes CertainTeed-related structural shoring if needed) | $14,000 - $45,000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation (CertainTeed backer board and waterproofing) | $4,500 - $12,000 |
What drives the number is what we find on the walk-through: the shingle layer count, the condition of the sheathing, whether the slab has moved enough to require foundation remediation before we touch the roof. A free estimate includes that full documentation. Call (470) 298-9650 to schedule yours.

FAQs - CertainTeed Construction in Garland
Because most of Garland’s central and south-side housing stock is 1950s-70s slab-on-grade construction sitting directly on expansive black clay that moves several inches a year seasonally. A shifted slab racks the exterior walls, and a CertainTeed roof installed on a racked frame fails at the flashing joints no matter how well it’s applied. That’s why our CertainTeed estimates include a documented foundation-level check before we quote the roof. Call (470) 298-9650 and we’ll show you what your slab is actually doing.
Yes. We match by the CertainTeed color code on the original shingle wrapper when it’s available, and by physical sample comparison against current Landmark production runs when it’s not. Aged roofs will always show some color variance simply from weathering, but we get the match close enough that the repair reads as a repair, not a patch. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written quote on matching your color.
CertainTeed’s standard warranty covers manufacturing defects, not storm damage - so hail impact fractures and granule loss from a Garland hailstorm generally fall outside manufacturer coverage. That’s where your homeowners insurance comes in, and that’s also why we document every hail-damaged roof we walk with photos and a written condition report your adjuster can use. We’ve handled plenty of Garland hail claims and can walk you through what the adjuster will look for. Call (470) 298-9650 for a free damage assessment.
West-facing walls in Garland take the full brunt of afternoon sun, which drives higher surface temperatures and accelerates thermal expansion and contraction in fiber cement and polymer siding. Add in the seasonal movement of the clay underneath the slab, and the west wall is doing double duty: shrinking and swelling from both heat and soil heave. The fix is often a combination of proper expansion gaps at the joints and, on older homes, addressing the foundation movement that’s flexing the wall in the first place. Call (470) 298-9650 and we’ll diagnose which factor is driving the cracking on your wall.
Yes. Roof replacements in Garland require a city permit, and our scope of work always includes pulling it and scheduling the inspection. We don’t ask you to handle paperwork - that’s part of the written price. Call (470) 298-9650 and we’ll walk you through what the permit process looks like for your house.
