Roofers in Montclair, CA
Roof inspection in Montclair is the smartest first call a homeowner can make, because most of the roofs in this city are original to homes built between the 1950s and 1980s and they’re failing in predictable, heat-driven ways. We’re Orange County Roofing Co, and we’ve served Montclair since 2015. The combination of triple-digit summer days, original wood-shake tear-offs with no underlayment, and 1960s asphalt shingles at the end of their service life means one thing: an honest inspection answers more questions than a sales pitch ever will. Call (866) 942-4187 to schedule yours.
Why Montclair Homes Are Different
Montclair sits in the Inland Empire, where July and August routinely push past 95°F and humidity barely registers. That’s not a minor detail for a roof. UV radiation degrades asphalt shingles from the day they’re installed, and in a climate like this, a 25-year shingle often looks spent at 18. The heat also bakes attic spaces, which is why cool-rated tile and reflective shingle assemblies make more sense here than anywhere along the coast.
The housing stock tells the same story. Most homes in the 91763 zip code are single-story tract houses built between the 1950s and 1980s. In the older tracts off Holt and Ramona, the original wood-shake roofs were laid over skip sheathing with no underlayment, so when a crew tears off, they routinely find rotted decking that has to be re-sheeted before new tile or shingle can go on. Add the flat or low-slope patio additions common to these properties, and you have roofs that need different membrane systems on different sections of the same house. It’s not a simple re-cover job, and homeowners who understand that early make better decisions.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Montclair Services
Most Montclair homeowners reach out to us for one of two reasons: something is leaking or failing, or the roof has aged out and they’re weighing replacement options. Here’s how each works in this city.
Roof Repair in Montclair
Repair work in Montclair usually falls into a few buckets: cracked or curling shingles from heat exposure, failed flashing around vents and chimneys that shows up during the winter storm season, and leaks on flat patio additions where old membrane has pulled away at the seams. Because many of these homes still have original skip sheathing under the roofing, what looks like a small repair sometimes reveals decking damage once we get into it. We quote the repair honestly and tell you if the decking needs work before we proceed. Roof Repair in Montclair is available as its own service with a dedicated inspection before any work begins.
Roof Replacement in Montclair
A full replacement in Montclair means tearing off whatever’s there, evaluating the decking, and building a roof rated for Inland Empire heat rather than coastal fog. The original wood-shake roofs from the 1960s and 1970s are almost all at or past their service life, and the low-cost asphalt shingles from the 1980s are no better. Homeowners replacing now are making attic ventilation and cool-roof materials part of the conversation, which directly lowers summer cooling bills. Roof Replacement in Montclair covers the full tear-off, re-sheet if needed, and installation across multiple material options.

Roof Inspection in Montclair
A roof inspection in Montclair tells you exactly where your roof stands before you spend a dollar on repairs or replacement. With homes built in the 1950s through 1980s and summers that bake roofing materials, the most common findings are heat-cracked shingles, failed flashing, attic ventilation problems, and hidden decking rot under old wood-shake. Our inspection is a standalone diagnostic service through our Roof Inspection program, not a sales lead-in, and it gives you a written list of what your roof needs and what can wait. We’ve served Montclair since 2015, and most inspections here take about an hour.

— Whitney Schaefer"Valley had been done without proper underlayment and was leaking. Redone correctly, and he explained exactly what had been wrong so I could understand it."
