Roofing in Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Wind off the Foothills

Homes in Alta Loma and Etiwanda take strong winds off the mountains every fall and winter. Wind lifts ridge caps, slides tiles out of line and pulls up shingle edges. After a big wind event we see a run of calls from this side of town.

Tile Roofs at Re-Lay Age

Much of the city was built out in the 1980s and 1990s with concrete tile. That puts a large share of roofs at the age where the underlayment is worn out. A re-lay keeps the same tile your HOA already approved.

Fire Zones Above the 210

Parts of the foothills are in state fire hazard zones, where California requires a Class A roof. Concrete tile and most modern shingles meet that rule. We confirm the rating with the permit.

Built Out Since the 1980s

Rancho Cucamonga became a city in 1977, and much of it was built in the years after. Terra Vista and Victoria were planned with HOAs, set colors and set tile profiles. That is why so many streets have the same tile roof at the same age, and why the paper under those roofs is wearing out on whole blocks at once.

Permits and Class A Roofs

Reroof permits go through the city's building and safety office. North of the 210 in Alta Loma and Etiwanda, many addresses are in mapped Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. There, replacing more than half the roof in a year means a Class A roof, and new attic vents should resist embers. We check your address on the state map before we order.
