Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Mentone
Roof Replacement in Mentone usually runs $9,800 – $22,400 depending on decking condition, roof pitch, and material tier, and most jobs take five to nine working days once permits clear. We work throughout the 92359 zip code, from Mill Creek Road down to the 38 corridor, and we know what these foothill roofs look like once the tear-off starts. Mentone is its own animal: semi-rural lots, older ranch homes, manufactured units with low-slope assemblies, and Santa Ana winds that punish the perimeter more than the field. If you’re weighing a full replacement, call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll walk the roof with you and give you a written line-item scope, no pressure.
Why Orange County Roofing Co Is Mentone’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We carry seven major shingle brands, GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, so the recommendation you get is based on your roof, not on our margin. That matters in Mentone because the right call here is often a fire-rated assembly with ember-resistant venting, not the prettiest shingle on the rack. Kurt Hensley runs our crews, and our people have torn off enough mid-century ranches and manufactured units along Crafton Avenue and Mentone Boulevard to know what’s waiting under the old roof. We price it honestly, write the allowances into the contract, and don’t spring change orders without your signature. From a single damaged shingle to a full tear-off and replacement, one call covers it.

New Roof Installation in Mentone
A new roof installation on a Mentone home starts with the decking, not the shingle. That’s the honest truth. When we install a new roof on a mid-century ranch or a newer custom build in the 92359 zip code, we open the substrate, inspect the sheathing and framing, and only then lay the underlayment, starter strip, and field. New Roof Installation in Mentone typically runs $11,400 – $22,400 for a standard single-story ranch, depending on square footage, pitch, and whether the decking needs sections replaced. A steep or multi-plane roof on one of the larger foothill lots can push higher, but you’ll see the number in writing before we start.
Decking and framing first
On a mid-century ranch off Crafton Avenue near the foothill wash, we stripped two layers of aging asphalt shingle and wood-shake, found rotted fascia and gaps in the decking, and rebuilt the drip edge and valleys with new ice and water shield before laying GAF architectural shingles with a ring-shank nailed starter strip. Ember-resistant ridge vent and sealed penetrations went in because the perimeter, not the field, is where these roofs give out under canyon winds. That job is the rule in Mentone, not the exception.
Fire-rated assembly as the default
Mentone sits at the foot of the San Bernardino Mountains in a high-fire-severity zone where Santa Ana winds funnel through the canyons, making Class A fire-rated roofing assemblies and wind-rated fastening a practical necessity rather than an upsell. We recommend Class A materials and ember-resistant venting on every new installation here, not because the shingle looks different, but because Mentone is a different fire environment than the cooler, denser valley floor below.
Reroofing in Mentone
Reroofing in Mentone means pulling the old field, inspecting what’s underneath, and then rebuilding the edges and transitions that the wind has been working on for twenty or thirty years. A reroof on a standard Mentone ranch home runs $9,800 – $18,600, and the spread depends mostly on how much decking is soft, how many layers we’re tearing off, and whether the old flashing at owner-built additions has to be rebuilt. Mentone’s housing stock, older mid-century ranches, manufactured units, and scattered custom builds with irregular tie-ins, makes reroofing here a job that rewards opening the decking before quoting anything final.
Opening the decking is the only honest way to quote
When an old asphalt shingle roof comes off a Mentone home, we find what the previous install hid. Failed underlayment, soft sheathing at valleys, skipped fasteners at the ridges. That’s why our reroof scope includes a decking allowance, written into the contract, priced per sheet. If we find rot, you approve the replacement in writing before we touch it.
Valleys and tie-ins on bigger lots
Mentone’s larger, semi-rural lots often have owner-built additions and irregular tie-ins that leak unless the flashing and valley transitions are opened and rebuilt. A reroof that skips those transitions sheds at the perimeter within a few Santa Ana seasons. We rebuild them as part of the reroof, not as an afterthought.
Trusted Brands We Service in Mentone
We install and service roofs from seven major manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Mentone homeowners, that means we can match a Class A fire-rated assembly to a specific warranty tier and price point without pushing a single brand. The right material for your roof, backed by the manufacturer’s own warranty, is the standard we work to. Need an Atlas shingle matched on one side and a GAF underlayment specified on the other? We do that on Mentone replacements all the time.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Mentone Homes
- Wind-torn ridge caps and edge metal: Santa Ana events pull at ridge caps, drip edge, and fasteners long before the field shingles fail. A replacement that skips edge detailing sheds at the perimeter within a season or two.
- Soft decking at valleys and penetrations: Brutal summer UV on south- and west-facing slopes cooks old asphalt and wood-shake until tear-off reveals failed underlayment and hidden decking softness, especially around skylights, swamp coolers, and vents.
- Leaking tie-ins at owner-built additions: Mentone’s larger lots often have additions with irregular rooflines and flashing that leak unless the decking underneath is opened and rebuilt.
- Low-slope failures on manufactured units: Flat and low-slope assemblies on manufactured and mobile homes fail at laps, drains, and edge terminations when drainage detailing is poor, and monsoon-season downpours expose it fast.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Mentone
The roof edge and vents are where Mentone roofs actually fail because Santa Ana winds funnel through the canyons and drive debris and embers at the perimeter. A replacement that skips ember-resistant ridge vent, drip edge, and wind-rated fastening sheds at the edge long before the field shingles wear out. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll show you what your edge is doing right now.
We price decking, fascia, and framing per sheet or per linear foot as a written allowance included in the contract before we start. If we find rot, we photograph it, show you the scope, and get your written approval before we touch anything. Estimates are free, and the allowance protects you from an open-ended quote. Call (866) 942-4187 for a line-item quote.
Mentone sits at the foot of the San Bernardino Mountains in a high-fire-severity zone, so a Class A fire-rated assembly with ember-resistant venting is the practical recommendation for most homes here. It’s not a legal requirement on every existing house, but it’s the difference between a roof that survives an ember shower and one that doesn’t. We can quote both paths and show you the cost spread. Call (866) 942-4187 to walk through it.
Yes, we reroof flat and low-slope assemblies on manufactured and mobile units in Mentone, including proper tie-ins at drains, edge terminations, and additions. The decking allowance and drainage detailing matter more than the membrane brand on those jobs. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll inspect the low-slope sections and give you a written scope.
Line up the decking allowance, the fire-rated assembly spec, and the edge detailing scope side by side, because a lower number that skips drip edge, ember-resistant venting, or fastener upgrades costs more in the long run. Our quotes spell out all three. We’re happy to walk you through what to look for, even if you’re getting estimates from another contractor. Call (866) 942-4187 for a free estimate.
