Fontana Roof Pros provides professional hail damage roof inspection & repair in Fontana, CA for residential and commercial properties across the western Inland Empire. 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.
The two look alike from the driveway and nothing alike from three feet. A heat blister is a small round void where gas expanded under the surface and popped, so the crater is sharp-edged, roughly circular, randomly scattered across every plane, and the mat underneath is intact. Hail leaves a bruise: a soft, dented spot where the mat has actually fractured, concentrated on the planes facing the storm.
There is a second tell that does not lie. Hail large enough to damage a shingle also dents soft metals, so we look at the vent caps, the gutter aprons, the downspouts, the mailbox and the air-conditioner condenser fins. Craters on the roof with no spatter marks or dents anywhere on the metal is the signature of a hot roof, not a hailstorm.
When we inspect, we chalk a ten-by-ten test square on each plane, count and photograph impacts inside it, and report the number rather than a verdict. Nothing gets inflated and nothing gets guessed. If the count is real, that documentation is what an adjuster needs. If it is blistering, we say so in writing, and we will not hand you to a claim specialist who files it anyway.
If your roof is genuinely due and you want insurance against the rare event, impact-rated Class 4 shingles are available in cool-rated colors, and some California carriers discount for them. We will price the upgrade honestly: in this city its main return is a tougher, thicker shingle that also handles heat and foot traffic better, with hail resistance as the bonus rather than the reason.
Blistering itself is worth understanding, because unlike hail it is preventable. It concentrates on roofs whose attics run hot and whose ventilation cannot carry that heat out, which is why we grade blister density plane by plane and then go look at the soffit vents. Clearing buried intake and cutting a ridge slot costs a fraction of a re-roof, and it is the one repair that protects the next roof as well as this one.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — cool-rated architectural shingles, high-temperature SBS-modified underlayment, batten-set concrete tile with a one-inch air space, Kynar 500 PVDF standing-seam panels, heat-welded TPO membrane, reflective elastomeric coating — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fontana and nearby communities including Rialto, Bloomington, Colton, Grand Terrace.

Materials, equipment and how we do hail damage roof inspection & repair
The difference between hail damage roof inspection & repair that lasts and hail damage roof inspection & repair that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with cool-rated architectural shingles, high-temperature SBS-modified underlayment, batten-set concrete tile with a one-inch air space, Kynar 500 PVDF standing-seam panels, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Fontana job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the western Inland Empire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
