CertainTeed Construction in Whitney, NV | Steel Horse Construction
We provide independent CertainTeed construction service across Whitney. Most of the Landmark roofs in the 89122 ZIP sit on 1960s to 80s ranch homes that Clark County, not Las Vegas, permits. That’s the one fact that changes how we approach every CertainTeed job here. You’ll find our CertainTeed sales & service expertise runs deep on these older low-slope and flat transitions, because they tear out differently than newer builds. Call us at (877) 265-5715 for a straight answer on your roof or remodel.
Why Whitney Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We learned CertainTeed systems by tearing them off Whitney ranch roofs under Clark County permits, not by reading product sheets, which is why our General Contractor in Whitney approach starts with field knowledge. The difference shows in what we look for: undersized fastening on DiamondDeck over plank decking, granule loss on west-facing Landmark slopes, and flashing failures at carport transitions that were never corrected when the original roof went on. We’re an independent contractor, which means we’re not authorized, sponsored, or warranty-backed by CertainTeed. We tell homeowners straight up whether a CertainTeed failure is installation error or honest product age.
Russ Dillard, our owner and lead contractor, grew up in Sunrise Manor watching crews build and rebuild near Nellis. He learned the trade at College of Southern Nevada’s vocational program, then spent years on residential and commercial jobs across the valley before starting Steel Horse Construction. In Whitney, he’s the one who walks the roof before quoting anything, because he knows what 105°F summers do to a low-pitch CertainTeed installation. We build it like it’s our name on the wall, because it is.
We’re your neighbor in the Whitney service area, and we answer the phone like it.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Whitney
- Granule loss on Landmark shingles: The west- and south-facing slopes on Whitney’s older ranch homes take direct desert sun for 10-plus hours a day in June and July. Those shingles shed granules faster here than they do in shadier parts of the valley. You’ll see it in the gutters after a hard wind, and it’s the first sign the mat is exposed and failing.
- Monsoon-driven leaks at low-slope transitions: Whitney’s 1960s and 70s homes often have original flat or low-slope carport roofs tied into the main roof. When those transitions were re-roofed without correcting slope, rainwater runs back up under the Landmark courses during monsoon storms. We fix the transition, not just the shingle.
- DiamondDeck underlayment wrinkles and ridging: When synthetic underlayment is installed with too few fasteners over aged plank decking, heat cycling in Whitney’s summers causes it to wrinkle and telegraph through the shingles. It looks like a roof defect but it’s an installation shortcut.
- Attic ventilation cooked the shingles and voided coverage: Low-pitch CertainTeed installations here often ship with undersized intake and exhaust ventilation. The shingles cook from below, curl, and crack early. Homeowners assume the product warranty covers it. It usually doesn’t, because improper ventilation voids it.
- Flashing and pipe-boot failures: In a county-island market like Whitney, older homes often had additions or carport enclosures done without correcting the original flashing details. Those joints fail first in afternoon thunderstorms. We replace the flashing and collar, then check the underlayment around the penetration.
CertainTeed Service in Whitney: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what most out-of-area contractors miss about Whitney. This unincorporated pocket sits in a county island surrounded by Las Vegas and Henderson, so your remodel or reroof runs on Clark County Building Department permits, not a city permit. That matters for CertainTeed work because a kitchen remodel here often pulls roofing and structural scope into the same review. County staff will look at nonconforming lot coverage, old carport-to-garage conversions, and covered-area changes on 89122 ranch lots. If a decades-old carport enclosure never had its roof or ventilation scope documented, the county will flag it, and now your kitchen job carries a roof correction you didn’t plan for. We handle both scopes under one contract, one permit, one point of contact. Most remodelers we compete with in the valley have never dealt with a Clark County review on a 1970s-era Whitney ranch. We have.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Whitney
Our crews work on the CertainTeed lines that dominate Whitney’s ranch housing stock, bringing CertainTeed repair in Las Vegas area expertise to every job: Landmark architectural shingles, Presidential Shake and Presidential T/L for the few upslope lots with steep pitches, and the underlayment systems underneath them: DiamondDeck synthetic and Flintlastic self-adhered for low-slope and carport sections. We specify CertainTeed-branded underlayment and matching accessories where they belong in the system, and we stock common trim, pipe boot, and fastening materials locally for faster Whitney turnaround. But we won’t upsell a premium shingle over a deck that hasn’t been checked first. On an older Whitney roof, honest repair with corrected flashing and ventilation often beats a full replacement the budget doesn’t need yet.

Frequently Asked Questions: CertainTeed Construction in Whitney
Some CertainTeed warranties do transfer to a second owner, but only if the roof was registered with the manufacturer at the time of installation and the installation met CertainTeed’s ventilation and fastening specifications. In Whitney, where many 1970s-era reroofs were done without permits and with undersized ventilation, the warranty is often void by the time you buy the house. We can inspect the roof and tell you what, if anything, is still covered. Call (877) 265-5715 to schedule a look.
Whitney’s monsoon storms deliver short, intense rain that hits low-slope and carport transitions differently than a steady shower. If your CertainTeed roof only leaks during those storms, the problem is almost always flashing or underlayment at a low-pitch transition, not the shingles themselves, and our Winchester CertainTeed service experience helps us spot it fast. Water runs back up under the courses where the slope wasn’t corrected. We fix the transition and the leak stops. Call (877) 265-5715 for a free estimate.
Yes. Clark County Building Department reviews the entire permit scope, and on Whitney’s 1960s – 80s ranch lots, that often includes attached carport enclosures and covered-area changes that touch the roofline. If an old carport-to-garage conversion was done without permits, your kitchen remodel can trigger a correction on the roof and ventilation. We handle that as one project, not two. Call (877) 265-5715 and we’ll walk the scope before you file anything.
Metal handles Whitney’s heat better than any asphalt shingle, including Landmark, because it reflects more sun and doesn’t rely on granules. But it costs more, and on a low-pitch ranch roof, the underlayment and decking matter more than the metal itself. For most Whitney ranch homes, a properly installed CertainTeed Landmark roof with corrected ventilation is the right value. For the few steep upslope lots or homeowners planning to stay 20-plus years, metal is worth comparing. Call (877) 265-5715 and we’ll price both honestly.
The biggest one is undersized intake and exhaust on low-pitch roofs. Whitney ranch homes built in the 1960s and 70s often have limited eave space, so installers cut corners. The shingles cook from below, curl at the edges, and fail years early. Correcting ventilation before or during a reroof is the single best thing you can do for a CertainTeed roof in this climate. We check it on every Whitney job.
