We work across every Fullerton ZIP code, from the 1920s bungalows off Malden and Wilshire downtown to the 1960s ranchers climbing the slopes above Bastanchury Road. The two stock profiles fail very differently, which is exactly why a Fullerton roof replacement shouldn’t be treated like a one-size job. We’ve torn off enough roofs here to know which one you have just from the address.

Orange County Roofing Co is a full-service Roof Replacement company led by Kurt Hensley. We handle inspection, repair, and complete tear-offs. One call covers the entire lifecycle. No subcontracted crews, no drive-by estimates.

Why Orange County Roofing Co Is Fullerton’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company

Our team has replaced roofs on nearly every housing style Fullerton throws at us: the tight-gabled Spanish Colonials near Hillcrest Park, the flat-roof post-war boxes in 92833, the steep tile slopes in Sunny Hills, the ranch spreads off Euclid. That range matters because a contractor who only does tile shouldn’t be the one deciding what your downtown bungalow gets.

We carry seven major brands: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That’s not a brag, it’s a pricing tool for you. When we recommend a material, it’s because the material fits your roof, your pitch, your exposure, and your warranty expectations. Not because we get a better margin on it.

Our inspections are available as a standalone service. If you’re buying or selling in Fullerton, or if a Santa Ana event just ripped through your street, you don’t have to commit to a replacement to get a straight diagnosis. Kurt Hensley has built the company around telling homeowners what their roof actually needs. Nothing more.

Reroofing in Fullerton

Reroofing in Fullerton is the job we do most often in the downtown 92832 and 92833 grids, where original 1910s through 1940s Craftsman and Spanish Colonial homes sit on low-pitch or gabled roofs with wood sheathing that’s been absorbing moisture for close to a century. It means a complete tear-off down to the deck, replacement of whatever’s rotted, and a new roof system built to modern code. A typical reroof in Fullerton runs $15,000 to $28,000 depending on size and sheathing condition.

Decking and skip-sheathing damage

On Fullerton’s older bungalows, we routinely find dry-rotted tongue-and-groove decking and skip sheathing that looks fine from the attic until you pull the old shingles and see daylight through the gaps. That wood has to be replaced before new underlayment goes down, or the new roof fails at the fastening points.

Low-pitch roof systems

Some of the 1920s and 1930s Fullerton homes have pitches shallow enough that standard architectural shingles won’t shed water the way a steeper roof would. We specify the appropriate low-slope underlayment or a sealed standing system where needed, because a shingle roof at 2:12 pitch is a leak waiting to be scheduled.

Flat Roof Replacement in Fullerton

Flat roof replacement in Fullerton is most common in the post-war 92833 tracts and on additions built onto older homes throughout the city. These roofs fail through ponding water and degraded seams rather than wind lift. A flat roof replacement in Fullerton typically runs $11,000 to $22,000 depending on square footage and whether the existing substrate is salvageable.

Seam and flashing failures

Fullerton’s flat roofs take heavy UV exposure through long dry summers, and seams begin to crack and separate after 12 to 18 years. Winter rains find those seams quickly. We tear off the old membrane, inspect the insulation and deck below, and install a sealed system rated for the specific exposure your roof faces.

Drainage corrections

Flat roofs on some older Fullerton homes never drained correctly to begin with. We re-slope with tapered insulation where practical and confirm that scuppers and drains move water away from the structure itself. A flat roof replacement is the right moment to fix that because you won’t want to touch it again for two decades.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fullerton

We carry GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Fullerton customers that breadth matters in practical ways: Tamko and Atlas give us strong mid-tier architectural shingle options for budget-conscious replacements, while Boral and GAF cover the higher-end and tile side of the market. We stock common components for these systems, which means we’re not waiting on a distributor in another county when your project needs valley metal or a color-matched ridge cap. The right material for your roof, backed by the manufacturer’s own warranty.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Fullerton Homes

• Santa Ana wind damage in Sunny Hills and above Bastanchury. Gusts at 50 to 70 miles per hour lift concrete tile, crack it at the nail points, and strip wood-shake from the west-facing slopes. Once underlayment is exposed, UV and winter rain finish the job.
• Dry-rotted original decking downtown. The 1910s through 1940s bungalows in 92832 and 92833 often still sit on the original wood sheathing, and decades of minor seepage at flashings and valleys have left sections soft enough to push a screwdriver through.
• Eucalyptus and pepper tree debris clogging valleys. The mature canopy in Fullerton’s hillside neighborhoods drops leaves, bark, and small limbs constantly. Debris dams form in roof valleys and gutters, holding water against flashing details that were never designed for that kind of standing moisture.
• Corroded fasteners and underlayment breakdown from heat cycling. Fullerton’s south and west roof faces take brutal summer sun, aging asphalt shingles and tile underlayment faster than the coastal cities just a few miles away. By the time a roof fails here, the nails and flashing are usually compromised too.

How Fullerton’s Two Roof Profiles Change the Spec

Fullerton’s roof replacement market splits cleanly in half. Downtown and the older core, around 92832 and 92833, sit on a flat grid where the homes are low-pitch bungalows from the 1910s through 1940s. Their roofs don’t fight wind, but they do fight their own framing. Original wood sheathing, original flashings, and decades of intermittent moisture have produced dry rot that you simply won’t find on a 1990s tract home. A roof replacement here is often as much a decking job as a shingle job.

Then take a right up toward Sunny Hills or the hills above Bastanchury Road. The homes shift to 1950s through 1970s ranch and split-level construction on steeper grades. Concrete tile and wood-shake are common, and the canopies of mature eucalyptus and pepper trees sit directly over roof planes. When Santa Ana winds push through the canyons at 50 to 70-plus miles per hour, those tiles get lifted, cracked, and shifted. The original electro-galvanized nails corrode at the laps, and the whole system starts to move. Different failure mode entirely.

On a 1962 ranch in Sunny Hills, we tore off a concrete tile roof after Santa Ana winds had cracked and shifted dozens of tiles along the west slope, exposing underlayment to UV and rain. Our crew replaced the dry-rotted fascia and skip sheathing, then set new Boral tile with stainless ring-shank fasteners and a high-wind nailing pattern, because the original electro-galvanized nails had corroded at the tile laps. We also added ice and water shield in the valleys where eucalyptus debris had clogged the original flashing details.

This is what we mean when we say Fullerton requires two different roof specs within a few miles. The downtown job needs decking money. The hillside job needs wind-spec fastening and underlayment money. A quote that prices both neighborhoods the same way is guessing. We don’t guess.
