Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Fontana
Roof replacement in Fontana usually runs $9,500 – $18,500 for a typical 1,500 – 2,200 sq ft tract home, and the work generally takes 3 – 6 days once materials are on site. That is the honest range we quote for most jobs in 92335, 92336, and 92337, where we replace more original 1980s – 2000s concrete tile and asphalt shingle roofs than anywhere else we work. We know exactly what those roofs look like under the tile. Call (866) 217-3967 and we will come out, get on the roof, and tell you what is actually there before you spend a dollar.
Why Moreno Valley Roof Repair Is Fontana’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Fontana is not a generic re-roof market. Thousands of tract homes built between 1980 and 2005 are hitting the 20 – 40 year mark at the same time, and the original roofing materials are failing together, block by block. Our crews spend enough time in Fontana that we can usually tell you what the decking looks like before we lift a single tile, because we have opened a hundred nearly identical roofs in your neighborhood. Ruben Ibarra, who runs our operation, has walked more of these specific tract layouts than most roofers see in a career.
We carry a full spread of materials from seven manufacturers, so a Fontana homeowner never gets pushed into a single brand because that is all a contractor stocks. When you ask us to compare GAF Timberline against Owens Corning Duration for a Fontana roof, we will tell you the real difference: how each handles 100°F summers, how the granule retention holds up under Santa Ana wind, and what the warranty language actually covers. That is the conversation most homeowners wanted from the start.
Our response to Fontana is straightforward. When you call, we schedule an inspection, get on the roof, and send you a line-item quote that separates materials, decking replacement, edge metal, and any permit-related work. You see what each part costs. No lump-sum number you have to decode.
Styles & brands we work with
Reroofing in Fontana
Reroofing in Fontana means tearing off the existing tile or shingles, replacing damaged decking and failed underlayment, and installing a new roofing system on the existing framing. It is the most common job we do in 92335, 92336, and 92337, because those tract homes were built with materials that were never designed to survive 30+ years of inland Empire sun and Cajon Pass wind. A typical reroof in Fontana runs $9,500 – $16,000, depending on square footage, how much decking needs to come out, and the material you choose.
Underlayment and Decking First
On a 1989 tract home in the 92336 ZIP, our crew tore off the original concrete tile and found the 30-year-old underlayment had baked to a brittle sheet. Soft decking had formed around the valleys, and the garage transition flashing had failed. We replaced the decking, installed ice and water shield in the valleys, laid new synthetic underlayment, and reset the existing tile with a 6-nail pattern and new drip edge on the west-facing slope to handle the Cajon Pass wind. That is what a Fontana reroof actually involves.
Fastener Schedules for Fontana Wind
The afternoon wind that comes down the Cajon Pass is a real force on west- and north-facing slopes. We spec a tighter fastener pattern than the manufacturer minimum on those elevations. Ridge caps and edge metal get extra attention because that is what the wind catches first. It costs a little more in fasteners and labor, and it is the difference between a roof that stays down and one that loses tiles in the first big blow.
Flat Roof Replacement in Fontana
Flat roof replacement in Fontana comes up most often on additions, garages, and patio covers where builders used low-slope sections to save framing cost back when the house was new. Those sections age faster than the main roof because water does not run off as quickly, and Fontana’s monsoon-season downpours find any flat spot that has lost its slope. A flat roof replacement in Fontana typically runs $4,500 – $9,000 for a standard two-car garage or addition, depending on the membrane and whether we are replacing decking underneath.
Single-Ply vs. Modified Bitumen
Most Fontana flat sections do well with TPO or PVC single-ply, which holds up to UV and heat better than older torch-down. Modified bitumen is still worth considering when you have a lot of rooftop penetrations like plumbing vents and HVAC curbs, because the seams seal tighter around them. We will show you both options, with prices, and you decide.
Slope Correction
Some older flat additions in Fontana were framed too shallow for proper drainage, and the fix is not just a new membrane. We add tapered insulation or adjust the framing to restore positive slope so water actually moves toward the scupper or drain. If the underlying framing was undersized, that gets addressed before any new roofing goes on, and the cost is written into the quote before work starts.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fontana
We install and service materials from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Boral, among the seven manufacturers we are authorized to work with. Our material yard keeps common Fontana-spec products in stock, which means a re-roof in 92337 does not stall waiting on a special-order shingle from out of state. Whether you are looking at GAF Timberline HDZ or CertainTeed Landmark, we install both and we will tell you why one might make more sense for your roof pitch, your sun exposure, and your budget. Seven leading brands, one straightforward recommendation.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Fontana Homes
- Baked-brittle underlayment under original tile. Homes built in the 1980s and early 1990s used felt underlayment that turns to a cracked sheet after 30 years of Fontana heat. By the time you see a leak, the water has often been working on the decking for months.
- Wind-lifted ridge caps on west and north slopes. The Cajon Pass wind catches ridge caps and tile edges on the windward side of the house. Once a cap lifts, moisture gets under the tile and the failure spreads.
- Wind-driven debris damage from Santa Ana events. Tree branches, gravel, and roofing debris from neighboring homes get thrown during Santa Anas. Tile cracks and asphalt granules scour off the surfaces that face the prevailing wind.
- Failed valley and penetration flashing. Fontana’s occasional monsoon moisture is not a lot of rain, but it lands hard on valleys and pipe penetrations. If the flashing seal broke during years of thermal movement, water gets straight to the decking.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Fontana, CA
A full tear-off and replacement on a standard Fontana tract home costs $9,500 – $18,500. The spread comes from square footage, roof pitch, how much decking is rotted, and the material tier you pick. Architectural asphalt shingles land on the lower half of that range, concrete tile on the upper half, and premium systems with upgraded underlayment and edge metal are priced accordingly. We write every quote with line items so you can see what is material, what is labor, and what is decking or flashing repair discovered once the old roof comes off. Call (866) 217-3967 and we will schedule a free estimate at your Fontana home. You get a written quote with the permit fees separated out, and the number we quote is the number you pay unless you approve a change in writing.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Fontana
We inspect the roof structure before we write the quote, and if we suspect decking damage or framing issues, we build an allowance into the contract for that specific work. When we open the roof and find something that was not visible from the top side, like undersized framing or decking that needs full replacement, we stop and price it in writing before we touch further. You approve the change order first. No one works on your roof while the meter is running without your sign-off. Call (866) 217-3967 and we will explain exactly how your roof gets scoped before work begins.
The homes in 92335, 92336, and 92337 were mostly built in the same 20-year window by the same handful of tract builders, using the same underlayment, the same decking spec, and the same tile or shingle materials. They age on the same clock, under the same Fontana sun and the same Cajon Pass wind, so they fail at roughly the same time. When you see three re-roofs on your block in the same year, that is not coincidence. It is the original materials reaching the end of their design life together.
Reroofing means tearing off the old material and installing new roofing on the existing framing, which is what most Fontana tract homes need. A full roof replacement goes further and includes replacing damaged or undersized decking and upgrading the structural connections where the code now requires it. Once we open the roof and see the decking condition, we will tell you which scope your house actually needs, and the quote will show you the exact cost difference before you decide.
Yes, and we use it selectively where it matters most: valleys, roof-to-wall transitions, and around penetrations that catch Fontana’s monsoon downpours. Ice and water shield was designed for snow climates, but it is also the best material for sealing the places where wind-driven rain gets pushed sideways. We spec it into every Fontana re-roof quote because the valleys on these tract homes are exactly where the old felt underlayment failed first. Call (866) 217-3967 for a quote that includes the full underlayment spec.
We over-spec the fastener schedule on west- and north-facing slopes, add heavier drip edge, and use ridge cap fastening that exceeds manufacturer minimums. The afternoon wind coming down the pass is consistent enough that standard installation patterns are not enough on exposed elevations. Ruben Ibarra has walked enough Fontana roofs to know which slopes get hit hardest, and that gets written into the installation plan, not left to the crew’s judgment on install day.
