Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Redlands
Roof replacement in Redlands typically runs $9,800 – $18,500 for a standard asphalt shingle tear-off on a 1,500 – 2,200 sq ft home, with architectural shingles on the higher end. Historic homes with clay tile salvage work run $22,000 – $38,000 depending on decking repairs and permit requirements. If you’re off Brookside Avenue or up in a citrus-belt bungalow near Smiley Heights, call us at (866) 942-4187 and we’ll give you a written, line-item scope before anything gets torn off.
Our crews are in Redlands weekly, not once a month. We know the streets off University Avenue, the older Craftsman pockets off Cajon Street, and the 1970s tract homes in south Redlands near 92374. Different houses, different roof problems, different fixes. The one thing they all share is that waiting on a faded, curling roof in this heat costs more than addressing it.
Why Orange County Roofing Co Is Redlands’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We’re not the cheapest, and we’re fine with that. What we do is walk the roof first, explain what’s actually failing, and lay out your material options across seven major brands so the recommendation fits your budget and your house, not our margin. Kurt Hensley runs the company, and he’s the one who set that rule: inspect first, price honestly, and never push a brand we happen to have extra stock of.
Redlands homeowners call us because we’ve handled the tile-salvage work most roofing companies won’t touch. Pulling original red clay barrel tile, stacking and sorting it by color, re-laying it over new underlayment, that’s not a tear-off, and it takes a different kind of crew. We bring that experience to every job here, whether it’s a 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival near the Redlands Bowl or a mid-century asphalt roof in a foothills subdivision off Sunset Drive.
We carry GAF in Redlands, plus CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That roster matters for Redlands specifically because different neighborhoods have different exposure, different hoa requirements, and different historic-district constraints. One brand doesn’t fit all of them.
Styles & brands we work with






Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Redlands
An Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Redlands is the most common full replacement we do here, particularly on the mid-century tract homes and newer foothills subdivisions where the original roof has hit the 18 – 22 year mark. We tear off the old shingles, inspect the decking, replace rotted sheathing, install new underlayment, and finish with shingles spec’d for inland heat. On a standard Redlands single-story ranch, that job runs $9,800 – $14,500. Two-story homes or steeper pitches in the 92373 foothills push closer to $16,000 – $18,500.
This climate is hard on shingles. The summers sit over 100°F for weeks, and UV breaks down sealant strips long before the granules start shedding. What looks like a wind-damaged shingle in Redlands is often a sealant failure from thermal cycling. We see it constantly.
Architectural Shingle Upgrades
Most Redlands homeowners now choose architectural shingles over 3-tab. They carry a thicker mat, better wind rating, and a dimensional look that sits well on both 1960s ranches and newer builds. The cost difference is usually $1,800 – $3,200 on a Redlands home, and the extra thickness buys you time in this sun.
Decking and Underlayment Work
Any time we tear off in Redlands, we plan for decking repair. The winter rains find any weak sheathing fast, and we’d rather replace it now than under a leak call in February. We quote decking by the sheet, so you know the exact cost before we start, not after.
New Roof Installation in Redlands
A New Roof Installation in Redlands covers everything from a full replacement on a newly purchased home to new construction on the foothill lots in 92373. The scope is the same as a re-roof, except we’re often working with a bare deck or fresh framing, which means no tear-off labor and less disposal cost. On new construction in Redlands, expect $8,500 – $13,800 for a standard asphalt roof on a 1,800 – 2,400 sq ft home, with architectural shingles adding about $1,500 – $2,600 depending on brand and warranty tier.
If the home is in a historic district, new construction and additions go through the same preservation review as remodels. That affects roofline, material, and sometimes profile. We coordinate with the Redlands planning office so the roof you want is the roof that passes, not the roof you have to redo.
Roof Decking Replacement
We replace decking when it’s soft, delaminated, or simply too thin for the new roof load. In older Redlands homes, original 1x planks often have rot at the eaves from decades of gutter overflow. We price decking replacement per sheet and show you the rot before we cut.
Flat Roofing for Redlands Additions
Redlands has its share of mid-century flat roofs, especially on ranch homes and carports. We install several flat roofing systems, from torch-down to single-ply options, and coordinate drainage so standing water doesn’t shorten the new roof. Flat sections on a Redlands replacement run $7 – $14 per sq ft installed.
Trusted Brands We Service in Redlands
We work with Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas regularly on Redlands replacements, and we keep local supplier relationships throughout the Inland Empire so a full tear-off doesn’t stall waiting on materials. That speed matters here when you’re trying to schedule a re-roof between heat waves or before the rainy season starts in late October. Because we install across seven brands, we’ll show you the warranty tiers side by side and recommend based on the house, the pitch, and the neighborhood, not on what we happen to stock deepest. Roof Replacement decisions in Redlands shouldn’t be brand-first.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Redlands Homes
- Failed underlayment under original clay tile. In the historic districts, the tile on top often looks fine, but the felt beneath is 40 – 60 years old and has been failing quietly for a decade. Leaks only show up when the winter rains arrive, and by then the decking is usually involved too.
- Baked-out shingle sealants from inland heat. The 100°F+ stretches Redlands gets every summer cook the adhesive strip on laminated shingles. The shingle tabs start to lift and curl, and the roof’s wind rating stops being what the manufacturer certified.
- Rot at the eaves from the winter rainy season. Redlands gutters and eave overhangs take a beating from concentrated winter rain. Most decking replacement we do here is at the perimeter where water sat too long.
- Tile salvage attempts by crews without the patience. We’ve seen old clay tile broken, mixed, and re-laid mismatched by crews that don’t sort and stack. Matching aged patio on a citrus-belt home takes time. Do it wrong once and the roof looks like a patchwork forever.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Redlands, CA
We price by the project, not the square foot, because a Craftsman bungalow off Cajon Street and a 2005 tract home near Sylvan Park have different structural realities. That said, here are honest ranges for Redlands. Standard asphalt shingle replacement: $9,800 – $14,500. Architectural shingle replacement: $13,000 – $18,500. Clay tile relay with underlayment: $22,000 – $38,000. Decking replacement: $75 – $110 per 4×8 sheet. Flat roof sections: $7 – $14 per sq ft. Permit fees run $200 – $600 depending on the project and historic review requirements.
The number that moves is decking. You don’t know until the old roof comes off, which is why we quote a per-sheet price upfront and get written approval before replacing anything beyond the initial estimate. Call (866) 942-4187 for a free, honest estimate. We’ll walk the roof, show you what’s failing, and hand you a line-item price.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Redlands
Historic re-roofs in Redlands cost more because the work is different. You’re not tearing off and throwing away. You’re pulling original clay tile, sorting it, repairing or replacing the decking, installing new underlayment, and re-laying that tile in its original pattern. Add preservation review and permit-triggered code upgrades and the labor hours multiply. Expect $22,000 – $38,000 versus $9,800 – $14,500 for a straight asphalt tear-off. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll walk your specific roof before any numbers get locked in.
Yes. We do it regularly on the citrus-belt streets off the main downtown corridor. The process is pull, stack, sort by color, repair the decking, lay new high-temp underlayment, and relay the tile. The aged patina stays. The profile matches. It’s slower and costs more than a conversion to asphalt, but on a Spanish Colonial Revival it’s the right call. On one home near the Redlands Bowl we found the 1920s underlayment had failed completely underneath what looked like perfect tile. Had we not pulled it, the roof would have been a waterfall in the next rainy season.
A square is 100 square feet of roof area. Roofers price by the square, not by the square foot of the home’s footprint. A 1,800 sq ft single-story Redlands ranch with a 4:12 pitch has closer to 21 – 24 squares of roof. If your quote says “$520 per square,” that’s $10,920 – $12,480 in roof area, not $9,360. We write our Redlands quotes in total project cost and show the square count so there’s no math to decode. Call (866) 942-4187 for a line-item quote with the squares laid out.
The inland heat and UV load. Redlands regularly runs 100°F+ through July, August, and often September. The asphalt in shingles oxidizes faster, the sealant strips release earlier, and the shingles lose flexibility years before the warranty says they should. A 30-year shingle in Redlands is realistically a 18 – 22 year roof. It’s not a defect. It’s physics. That’s why we spec architectural shingles here almost always, and why we stock brands with better heat-resistance in their granule surfaces.
Start the conversation by September. The peak leak season here starts in late October and runs through February, and every roofer in the Inland Empire is slammed once the first storm hits. If you’re seeing granule loss in the gutters, curling shingle edges, or water staining on the ceiling, get it checked right now, before the rain exposes it worse. In the historic districts, a failed underlayment under tile won’t show any outward sign at all until water is already coming through the ceiling. A Roof Replacement in Redlands scheduled for early fall beats an emergency call in December. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll do an inspection before the rain does.
