Roofing Contractor in San Bernardino County, CA

Warehouse roofs in Ontario and Fontana, tracts in Rancho Cucamonga and Chino Hills

San Bernardino County is huge, but about 89% of its residents live in three census divisions on just 9% of the land. Most of our range sits in that crowded west end. Ontario and Fontana are logistics cities, with warehouse roofs next to older neighborhoods. Fontana grew around a wartime steel mill and is now mostly newer tracts.

The tracts run from the 1980s through the 2000s. Rancho Cucamonga and Chino Hills, a hillside city at the corner of three counties, have large HOA-governed streets where tile underlayment is reaching its age. For big commercial buildings, see commercial roofing, and know we look at the building before we promise to quote it.

Wind and sun above Cajon Pass in Phelan, Hesperia and Piñon Hills

North of the pass the county is high desert. Phelan, Hesperia and Piñon Hills have big lots, rural roofs and steady wind. Edges take the abuse: ridge caps, rakes and drip edge, the metal along the eave that guides water off the roof. Fastening and edge detail count for more than color.

By our estimate these towns sit 100 to 125 minutes from Van Nuys. We plan visits in advance and ask for photos first.

Cajon Pass wind and the San Bernardino Mountains

Cajon Pass sits at 3,777 feet between the San Bernardino and San Gabriel Mountains, and State Route 138 crosses it. The pass is known for high wind, with strong gusts during Santa Ana conditions, and that wind spills onto the high-desert towns north of it. The mountains east of the pass hold communities such as Crestline, Lake Arrowhead, Running Springs and Big Bear, within the San Bernardino National Forest.

More than 80 percent of the county's land is federally owned, and forest surrounds many mountain communities. Access, brush and fire rating then matter more than color or style. Check your address on CAL FIRE's hazard viewer before choosing a covering.

Snow loads and pines in Wrightwood and Lytle Creek

Wrightwood sits at 6,208 feet, and winter there is real. Snow weight, steep pitches, pine needles in valleys and icy access change how a roof is built and cleared. Lytle Creek is a remote canyon community in heavy brush and forest, so access and fire rating come first.

San Bernardino County Land Use Services and city building departments

Unincorporated communities such as Wrightwood, Phelan, Piñon Hills, Lytle Creek and Bloomington go through San Bernardino County Land Use Services. Cities such as Ontario, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga and Chino Hills run their own building departments. State rules follow you everywhere in the county: no third roof over two existing ones, and cool-rated products on larger re-roofs.
