Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Pomona
Roof replacement in Pomona runs $11,000 to $28,000 for most homes, depending on size, slope, and the material you choose. We work across 91766, 91767, 91768, and 91769, and we know the blocks off Holt Avenue, through Phillips Ranch, and up toward Ganesha Hills as well as any roofer in the valley. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll walk your roof with you, tell you what’s actually failing, and price the job in writing.
What we see in Pomona that coastal roofers miss: the inland heat and Santa Ana wind decide material life here, not the calendar. A south-facing slope in the 91766 tracts can shed granules and curl years before the same shingle on a shaded north slope, and wind-driven debris near the foothill edge lifts ridge caps and loosens shingles that were under-nailed. Get the spec right and a Pomona roof lasts decades. Get it wrong and you’re paying for decking repairs inside ten years.
Why Orange County Roofing Co Is Pomona’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We run a material-agnostic operation, so the recommendation you get in Pomona is based on your roof’s exposure, your attic ventilation, and your budget, not on which brand gives us the best margin. We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. Seven major manufacturers means we can match a south-facing 91767 tract roof with a higher wind-rated architectural shingle while putting a more economical line on a shaded Craftsman bungalow downtown. Two different houses, two honest answers, one contractor.
Our crews know Pomona’s housing stock. Pre-war bungalows near Lincoln Park with original plank sheathing. Mid-century tract homes with skip-sheathing and 3-tab composition roofs now at end of life. Flat porch and garage roofs that need modified bitumen, not shingles. A roofer who only does tear-offs on plywood decking will struggle here. We don’t.
Kurt Hensley, the owner, has kept this company focused on one thing: full-lifecycle roofing without the upsell. Inspection, repair, and replacement under one roof. Our inspection is a standalone service. If your roof is fine, we’ll tell you it’s fine and tell you what to watch. You won’t get a sales script.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Replacement Contractor in Pomona
A Roof Replacement contractor in Pomona has to solve for two forces at once: intense UV heat that bakes the asphalt out of shingles and Santa Ana wind events that test every nail, every ridge cap, every piece of flashing. A full replacement here means stripping to the deck, repairing any rotted sheathing, laying fresh underlayment, and installing a shingle system with a nailing pattern that actually holds in 60 mph gusts off the San Gabriels.
Most Pomona homeowners call us when the shingles are curling on the back slope, or when a wind event lifted ridge caps, or when the roof starts looking tired and they plan to sell. We’ll give you a written line-item quote for the full job: tear-off, haul-away, decking repair if needed, underlayment, drip edge, shingles, flashing, and cleanup. No change orders written in fine print.
Full tear-off vs. overlay
Some contractors will offer to shingle over the old roof and save a few thousand dollars. We don’t recommend it in Pomona. The 1950s and 60s tract homes in 91766 and 91767 often have skip-sheathing underneath, and you can’t know the decking condition without stripping to it. An overlay hides rot and adds weight. A tear-off finds the problem.
What the job actually costs
A typical 1,400-square-foot single-story ranch in Pomona with standard architectural shingles runs $13,000 to $19,000. Larger two-story homes, steep pitches, or roofs with extensive decking repair push toward $22,000 to $28,000. We’ll show you the material options across multiple brands so you choose the price and warranty tier that fit.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Pomona
Asphalt shingle roof replacement in Pomona is the most common job we do, but the spec matters more than the label. The south- and west-facing slopes in the 91766 and 91767 tracts take brutal afternoon sun, and we specify architectural shingles with higher wind ratings on those exposures, not just whatever 3-tab the box store has in stock.
For homes near the foothill edge of Ganesha Hills and Phillips Ranch, Santa Ana wind is the real test. We use a six-nail pattern instead of the standard four, add full starter strip along every eave and rake, and hand-seal ridge caps. That’s the difference between a roof that fine after the first big blow and a roof with shingles in the neighbor’s yard.
Architectural vs. 3-tab in Pomona
Architectural shingles cost roughly $1,500 to $2,500 more on an average Pomona house, but they’re built with a heavier mat and resist wind uplift better than 3-tab. For the 1950s-70s tracts where we’re already seeing granule loss and curling, we almost always recommend architectural. The price gap closes fast once you factor in a decade of repairs.
Why the cheap spec costs more
Here’s the split in one sentence: the contractor who prices a uniform shingle for every slope is pricing the north-facing roof and hoping you won’t notice the south slope is already gone. On a 1950s tract home off West Holt Avenue in 91767, our crew found original 3-tab shingles curled and granule-bare on the south slope while the north side still looked serviceable, with dry-rot in the wood fascia and lifted ridge caps from a Santa Ana event. We stripped to the skip-sheathing, added ice and water shield through the valleys, set new drip edge, and laid GAF architectural shingles to a six-nail pattern so the wind rating actually holds.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, and we stock local parts and common shingle colors so Pomona customers aren’t waiting on a warehouse in another county. GAF and Atlas lines work well for the hotter south-facing slopes we see in 91766 and 91767. Boral’s stone-coated steel handles the wind exposure near the foothills when a homeowner wants metal performance without the metal look. You get a real comparison across brands, not a sales pitch for the one we happen to carry.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- South-slope granule loss and curling. The afternoon sun bakes asphalt shingles on south and west exposures, especially in the 91766 and 91767 tracts. Shingles there shed granules and curl years before the north slope shows any wear.
- Lifted ridge caps and loosened shingles after Santa Ana wind events. The wind funnels off the San Gabriels and hits the foothill edge of Pomona hard. Under-nailed shingles and missing starter strip fail here first.
- Dry-rot in wood fascia and eave framing. Pomona’s dry heat masks water intrusion, but the winter rain finds cracks in old flashing and rots the fascia from inside. We replace rotted trim and set new drip edge during a full replacement.
- Flat garage and porch roofs with aging rolled roofing. Many Pomona homes have flat or low-slope sections that were never built for shingles. We replace those with modified bitumen or TPO and flash the transitions properly.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Pomona, CA
Expect $11,000 to $28,000 for a full roof replacement in Pomona. A standard 1,400-square-foot ranch with architectural shingles typically lands between $13,000 and $19,000. Larger homes, steep pitches, decking repair, or upgraded materials push higher. The factors that move the number in Pomona specifically: how much decking rot we find once the old roof is off, whether your 1950s tract has skip-sheathing that needs overlay with solid plywood, and whether the south slope needs a heavier, higher-wind-rated shingle. Call (866) 942-4187 for a free estimate. We’ll put the number in writing and break down the line items.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Pomona
The south-facing slope takes direct afternoon sun year-round, and in Pomona’s inland valley the summer temperatures routinely top 100°F. That UV exposure bakes the asphalt oils out of the shingles, causing granule loss and curling years before the shaded north slope shows any wear. The answer is to use a heavier architectural shingle on that exposure and make sure the attic ventilation can shed the heat load. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll look at your specific roof before you spend a dollar.
A typical Pomona ranch is 14 to 22 squares (1,400 to 2,200 square feet of roof area). The square count drives material cost, dump fees, and labor, so two houses on the same street can be thousands apart. We measure your roof precisely, not by estimate from satellite photos, and the written quote reflects the actual roof.
Yes. The 91766 tracts typically have skip-sheathing, which was standard in the 1950s and 60s, and that decking needs a solid plywood or OSB overlay before new shingles go on. The pre-war Craftsman bungalows near downtown Pomona often have original plank sheathing that can be repaired selectively, but the valleys and eaves need extra attention. We price each house separately because the decking work is different.
Yes, when installed to a six-nail pattern with full starter strip and hand-sealed ridge caps. Architectural shingles carry higher wind ratings than 3-tab, but the rating only matters if the nailing pattern and starter strip are right. We’ve seen shingles from the same brand fail in Pomona because the contractor cut corners on nails, and hold just fine when installed to spec.
No. Flat and low-slope sections under a 2:12 pitch need a membrane system, not shingles. Pomona homes frequently have flat porch and garage roofs built for rolled roofing or modified bitumen, and shingling over them creates standing water and leaks. We replace those with SBS modified bitumen or TPO and flash the transition to the main shingle roof properly. Call (866) 942-4187 for a free estimate on the whole system.
