Roofing in Fontana, CA

Wind Through the Pass

Fontana sits where Santa Ana winds come hard out of the Cajon Pass. Shingles tear, tiles slide and loose flashing flaps. After a wind event, check your yard for pieces of roof. That is often the first sign.

Older South Fontana Homes

Many homes south of the 10 are older ranch styles that have been reroofed over the years, sometimes with layers stacked up. We tear these off to the wood and start clean.

North Fontana Tile

The tract homes north of the 210 mostly have concrete tile from the 1990s and 2000s. The oldest are reaching re-lay age now.

Older Homes South, Newer Tracts North

Fontana grew around the Kaiser steel mill in the 1940s and 1950s, and many homes south of the 10 date from that time. North of the 210, Sierra Lakes and the tracts around it went up mostly in the 1990s and 2000s with concrete tile.

Wind, Fire and Permits

Fontana takes some of the hardest Santa Ana winds in the area, pouring out of the Cajon Pass. Parts of the city near the northern hills are in mapped fire hazard zones, where a new roof needs a Class A rating. Reroof permits go through the City of Fontana's building and safety division, and all three ZIP codes are in climate zone 10.
