Corte Madera CertainTeed Siding

Most siding shoppers start by picking a material. With CertainTeed you can do the opposite — pick a manufacturer with a deep enough catalog that you can compare a vinyl lap, an insulated panel, a polymer shake, and even a fiber cement board all under one brand, with one set of warranties to weigh. Bay Area Siding Company installs CertainTeed across Corte Madera, and being based just up the road in Larkspur means we can bring samples to your door and match a line to your house without a long drive.

One brand, several materials

That range is the reason CertainTeed comes up so often. Rather than committing to a material and then hunting for a maker, you can weigh the options within a single lineup:

• Vinyl siding — the Monogram and Mainstreet lines cover the mainstream lap looks, with a broad color and profile selection.
• Cedar Impressions — molded vinyl shakes and shingles that mimic hand-split cedar, a way to get that texture without the upkeep of real wood.
• CedarBoards insulated siding — foam-backed vinyl that adds thermal performance and a flatter, more rigid panel; this line consolidates what was formerly sold as the Craneboard insulated product.
• Polymer shakes — a premium, dimensionally stable take on the shake look.
• WeatherBoards fiber cement — CertainTeed's noncombustible fiber cement, for homeowners who want the fire and durability profile of cement board within the same brand family.

We'll help you sort which of these fits your budget, your look, and — importantly in this town — where your house sits.

How your Corte Madera setting narrows the list

The right CertainTeed line depends a lot on your parcel.

If you're on Christmas Tree Hill or the wooded upper reaches of Chapman Park, fire exposure is real. CAL FIRE's updated 2025 Fire Hazard Severity Zone and Wildland-Urban Interface maps and Central Marin Fire Department's coverage reflect that, and where a parcel falls in a designated hazard zone or the WUI, California Building Code Chapter 7A governs the exterior wall covering and generally calls for noncombustible or ignition-resistant assemblies. On such a home, CertainTeed's vinyl and polymer lines are combustible and generally not the pick — the WeatherBoards fiber cement line, or fiber cement more broadly, is the direction that fits. Whether and how 7A applies comes down to your parcel and scope, which we confirm with the Town of Corte Madera and the fire authority before speccing.

If you're on the bay flats near Corte Madera Creek or along Tamalpais Drive, outside the fire designations, the vinyl and insulated lines — Monogram, Mainstreet, CedarBoards — become very reasonable, low-maintenance choices well suited to the damp marine air, where their no-repaint finish is a genuine advantage.

Warranties, in general terms

Part of CertainTeed's appeal is warranty coverage that tends to be strong across its lines, with lifetime-limited terms on many products and transferability provisions. Specifics vary by line and by how the product is installed, so we go over the actual warranty for whichever product you choose rather than quoting a single number that wouldn't apply across the catalog.

What installation involves

Whichever line you choose, the wall work underneath is the same discipline. We assess your existing siding, measure, and pull the Town of Corte Madera building permit — the town is on the 2025 California code suite as of January 1, 2026. We remove the old cladding down to the sheathing, inspect the substrate, water-resistive barrier, and flashing, and repair concealed rot before anything new goes on. Then the WRB and flashing are renewed and the CertainTeed product is installed to the manufacturer's specification, with the proper allowances for the material. We finish with trim, cleanup, and a walkthrough.

Cost drivers

We price after measuring, never online. What moves a CertainTeed quote: which line you select — a vinyl lap prices very differently than polymer shakes or WeatherBoards fiber cement; the size and complexity of the house; how much rot or sheathing repair appears at tear-off; the number of stories and access, which is a factor on hillside lots; and any trim or window integration.

Frequently asked questions

Does CertainTeed make more than vinyl? Yes. Alongside its vinyl lines (Monogram, Mainstreet, Cedar Impressions) and insulated CedarBoards, CertainTeed makes polymer shakes and WeatherBoards fiber cement — so you can compare several materials within one brand.

Which CertainTeed line works for a home on Christmas Tree Hill? On a fire-exposed hillside parcel, the noncombustible WeatherBoards fiber cement line fits better than the vinyl or polymer products. We confirm your parcel's fire-zone or WUI designation with the Town and Central Marin Fire before recommending.

Is CertainTeed insulated vinyl the same as the old Craneboard? Effectively, yes — the former Craneboard insulated line consolidated into CertainTeed's CedarBoards insulated siding. It's foam-backed for added rigidity and thermal performance.

Do you install CertainTeed as a certified dealer? We install CertainTeed products; we don't advertise a dealer designation. What we bring is proper installation to the manufacturer's spec so the warranty holds.
