Every Roofing Service We Offer in Fontana, CA

• roof replacement
• reroof
• tear-off and replace
• cool-roof reroof
• Title 24 compliant roof replacement
• CRRC-listed shingle replacement
• new roof installation
• deck re-nailing
• high-temperature synthetic underlayment
• ridge slot cut-in
• roof replacement cost

Roof Replacement in Fontana, CA

Most leaks in this city are not caused by rain. They are caused by six months of heat opening a joint, and then found by the first honest storm in December. That changes how the repair is diagnosed, because the water shows up months after the damage was done.

• roof leak repair
• emergency leak repair
• pipe boot replacement
• thermal split repair
• flashing leak repair
• ceiling stain diagnosis
• hose testing
• skylight leak repair
• wall-to-roof transition leak
• swamp cooler leak
• roof leak repair cost

Roof Leak Repair in Fontana, CA

Storms here rarely create damage on their own. They find damage the summer already did. A shingle roof is held down as much by its heat-activated sealant strip as by its nails, and that bond is the part of the roof our climate attacks hardest.

• storm damage roof repair
• storm damage restoration
• lifted shingle repair
• displaced tile repair
• post-storm roof inspection
• sealed course failure
• debris impact repair
• tree limb roof damage
• emergency dry-in

Storm Damage Roof Repair in Fontana, CA

This page exists to talk you out of something. Fontana is not a hail market, and most of what gets called hail damage on an inland roof is heat blistering and ordinary granule loss. Filing that as hail wastes your time and marks your policy.

• hail damage roof repair
• hail damage inspection
• heat blistering vs hail
• granule loss assessment
• mat fracture
• soft metal spatter marks
• test square
• hail damage roof claim
• impact-rated shingles

Hail Damage Roof Inspection & Repair in Fontana, CA

Uplift resistance on a shingle roof is mostly adhesive, not steel. The nails hold the head of the shingle; the sealant strip holds the exposed tab flat. Which means a roof's wind performance in this city is a direct function of its heat history.

• wind damage roof repair
• lifted shingle repair
• sealant strip bond
• six-nail fastening
• high-wind starter strip
• hand-sealed rakes
• ridge cap replacement
• tile displacement repair
• edge metal fastening

An inspection built for a wet climate looks for water. Ours looks for heat, because that is what is actually consuming roofs in this valley, and heat leaves a different set of fingerprints. The report you get back reads plane by plane, not roof by roof.

• roof inspection
• roof condition report
• remaining life assessment
• attic inspection
• deck temperature reading
• granule loss survey
• sealed course test
• pre-purchase roof inspection
• ventilation audit
• annual roof maintenance inspection

Color is a durability decision in Fontana, not a taste decision. The same architectural shingle in charcoal and in a light cool-pigment blend will not reach the same age on the same house, and the gap is measured in years, not months. So we start with reflectance and work back to appearance, which is the reverse of how shingles are usually sold.

• asphalt shingle roofing
• architectural shingles
• cool-rated shingles
• CRRC listed shingles
• aged solar reflectance
• 3-tab vs architectural
• shingle color selection
• high-temperature underlayment
• starter and ridge cap
• asphalt shingle lifespan
• asphalt shingle roof cost

Bare metal is not a cool roof. That sentence undoes most of what gets said about metal in a hot climate, and it is the reason this page reads differently from a metal roofing page written anywhere else. Reflectance is only half the equation.

• metal roofing
• standing seam metal roof
• Kynar 500 PVDF finish
• cool metal roofing
• concealed clip system
• exposed fastener panel
• metal roof thermal movement
• Galvalume

Tile is the material our climate argues for, and the reason is a one-inch air gap rather than the tile itself. The energy code treats that gap as the equivalent of a cool roof, and the physics behind the exemption is sound. Section 150.2(b)1H exempts any covering set with an inch of ventilated space above the deck from cool-roof certification, because the gap carries heat away before the sheathing takes it.

• tile roofing
• concrete tile repair
• clay barrel tile
• batten-set tile
• elevated batten system
• high-temperature SBS underlayment
• broken tile replacement
• ridge and hip mortar
• tile roof walking

Almost every Fontana house with a flat roof has a small one: a patio cover, a garage, a 1970s room addition, a porch deck tucked behind a pitched main roof. Those little planes are where a disproportionate share of leaks live, and heat is why. A low-slope roof takes the sun square on.

• patio cover roof

We turn down coating work most weeks, and it is worth explaining why before explaining when coatings are excellent. If somebody has offered to spray your asphalt shingle roof white to keep the house cool, decline. That is the single most oversold product in a hot-climate roofing market.

Ventilation is a secondary service in most roofing markets. In Fontana it decides how long the roof lasts, because a shingle bakes from underneath as well as from above, and the attic is the part of the assembly nobody ever looks at. Nearly every hot attic we open has the same fault, and the fault is intake.

• attic ventilation
• roof ventilation
• ridge vent installation
• continuous soffit intake
• net free ventilating area
• balanced ventilation
• blocked soffit vents
• radiant barrier sheathing

A skylight in Fontana is a hole in the roof that admits heat as well as light. That is not an argument against skylights. It is an argument for fewer, smaller, better-glazed ones, placed where the sun does not sit.

• skylight installation
• skylight replacement
• skylight leak repair
• curb-mounted skylight
• laminated low-E glazing
• tubular daylight device
• acrylic dome replacement
• skylight flashing kit

Fontana averages under fifteen inches of rain a year, and that fact leads most owners to the wrong conclusion about gutters. The job here is not moving volume across a season. It is handling a handful of intense bursts, keeping water off the fascia, and keeping it away from a slab on an alluvial fan that drains south.

• gutter installation
• gutter replacement
• K-style aluminum gutters
• 0.032 gauge aluminum
• hidden hanger installation

• downspout drainage away from slab

Fascia and soffit work looks like carpentry and functions as ventilation. The soffit is the intake half of the attic system, so a blocked or missing soffit vent is not a cosmetic problem. It is the reason an attic runs hot and the shingles above it age early.

• fascia repair
• soffit repair
• fascia board replacement
• continuous soffit venting
• stucco soffit vent cut-in
• dry rot repair
• rafter tail repair
• aluminum fascia wrap

A chimney and the roof around it are two materials moving at different rates every single day. Masonry and framed lumber expand and contract by different amounts, and in a climate with a thirty-degree swing between afternoon and dawn, that joint gets worked hundreds of times a year. Flashing either accommodates that movement or it fails, which is why the repair we get called to fix most is a bead of sealant smeared where the flashing meets the brick.

• chimney flashing repair
• counter-flashing
• step flashing
• chimney cricket
• reglet cut into mortar
• chimney chase top
• high-temperature sealant
• chimney flashing replacement

An emergency cover in this climate has an enemy most people do not think about. It is not the rain it is holding back. It is the sun beating on it, which turns an unrated blue poly tarp chalky and brittle within weeks.

• reinforced tarp installation
• self-adhered membrane dry-in
• storm response
• tree limb removal from roof
• temporary roof repair

Our commercial work is small buildings: strip retail along Foothill Boulevard and Sierra Avenue, churches, medical and dental suites, auto shops, older two-storey mixed-use. Three thousand to twenty thousand square feet, and a roof that has to be worked on without closing anyone's business. At that size the roof is rarely the whole problem.

The most useful thing a roofer can do for you on an insurance claim in this city is tell you not to file one. In an inland climate, the large majority of roof deterioration is sun, age and ventilation, and every policy in California excludes wear and tear. Filing anyway costs you more than nothing, and that matters more than it used to.

• roof insurance claim
• insurance claim documentation
• adjuster meeting
• wear and tear exclusion
• storm damage report
• date of loss documentation
• denied roof claim
• supplement request
• photo documentation
• claim vs out of pocket

Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Fontana and the western Inland Empire. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling roofing work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.

Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
