Every job below is one we do ourselves across Pomona.
A full tear-off means stripping the roof down to the decking, not just laying new shingles over the old ones. We check every sheet of decking for soft spots or dry rot before anything new goes down, and replace what doesn't pass. You end up with new underlayment, new drip edge, and a roof that starts its life clean instead of hiding old problems underneath.
Most repair calls start with a stain on the ceiling or a shingle that blew off in the last windstorm. We track the leak to its actual source, which is usually flashing at a valley or chimney, not the spot where the water shows up inside. Then we fix that point and check the surrounding shingles for wind lift or granule loss while we're up there.
A leak rarely comes in straight down from where you see the stain, it travels along the decking first. We pull back shingles or tile around the suspect area, check the underlayment, and find where water is actually getting past the flashing. Small leaks caught early cost a lot less than the drywall and insulation replacement that comes with waiting.
Clay and concrete tile roofs last a long time, but the tiles crack from foot traffic, and the underlayment underneath fails long before the tile does. We lift the broken tiles, replace the felt or synthetic underlayment beneath them, and set the same tile back down so the roofline doesn't change. Matching older tile profiles takes some hunting, and we tell you upfront if an exact match isn't out there.
Flat and low-slope sections over patios and additions usually run TPO, modified bitumen, or old-style torch-down, and they fail at the seams first. We reseal or replace the membrane at the seams and around roof penetrations like vent pipes, since that's where ponding water finds its way in. Standing water after a rain is normal for a day, it's not normal for a week.
New construction and room additions need a roof system tied into the existing structure correctly, with flashing that matches at every intersection. We size the underlayment and ventilation to the roof pitch and square footage rather than using a one-size approach. It's also the point where switching to a Class A fire-rated material is easiest to do.
A hot attic cooks shingles from underneath and pushes your cooling bill up all summer. We install ridge vents, static vents, or powered attic fans to get air moving through the attic space, matched to how much intake and exhaust the roof actually has. Balanced ventilation adds years to a shingle roof in a climate that already runs hot.
Gutters that pitch wrong or pull away from the fascia dump water right against the foundation instead of away from it. We install and repair gutters and downspouts sized for the roof area they're draining, and reset any sections that have started sagging. It's a small job next to a roof replacement, but it's usually what decides whether water problems keep coming back.
Chimneys and skylights are where most roof leaks actually start, because the flashing around them is cut and bent by hand instead of run in one piece. We re-flash these penetrations with new step flashing and counterflashing rather than just caulking over the old metal. Caulk is a temporary fix at best, it dries out and cracks within a couple of seasons.
Santa Ana wind events lift shingles and tiles that aren't fully sealed down, and it's not always obvious from the ground that anything happened. We check for lifted or missing shingles, cracked tiles, and bent flashing after a wind event, and handle the paperwork if you're filing an insurance claim. Getting a tarp on an exposed section fast matters more than people think.
Four steps, and no surprises in any of them.
You tell us what you want doing, we look at what is actually there, and we ask the awkward questions early.
In writing, itemised, free. If something might add cost later we flag it now rather than at the end.
Same crew throughout. We cover your floors, keep the dust down and tidy up before we leave each day.
You point out anything you are not happy with and we fix it before the invoice, not after.
