Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Bloomington
Roof replacement in Bloomington typically runs $9,500 – $18,500 for a full tear-off on a mid-century tract home, with most jobs completed in 3 to 5 working days once materials arrive. The wild card here is what’s under the shingles you can see. Many Bloomington homes built between 1950 and 1975 still carry their original wood shake or asbestos-cement roof beneath a later asphalt overlay, and that changes the math on cost, timeline, and what your contractor needs to know before quoting. Our Roof Replacement team works in Bloomington weekly and knows exactly what to look for. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll walk your roof with you before you commit to anything.
Why Orange County Roofing Co Is Bloomington’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We’re in Bloomington regularly, which means we’re not guessing about this city’s housing stock when you call. The blocks off Slover Avenue and around Bloomington High School are dense with single-story tract homes from the Kennedy and Johnson years, and we’ve torn roofs off enough of them to know what typical looks like here. That matters when you’re comparing quotes because a contractor who mainly works newer subdivisions in Fontana may not price the tear-off correctly.
Kurt Hensley set up Orange County Roofing Co so homeowners could compare materials honestly. We install products from seven major manufacturers, including GAF, Atlas, and Tamko, which means you don’t get a sales pitch for one brand we happen to carry. You get a straight answer about which shingle fits your budget and your roof’s pitch, and the manufacturer’s own warranty backs it. If you want an inspection first, we do that as a standalone service. Nothing more.
Bloomington homeowners get the same fixed, written pricing we give everywhere else. If tear-off reveals decking damage, you approve the change order before we proceed. No surprises buried in the final invoice.
Styles & brands we work with
New Roof Installation in Bloomington
New Roof Installation in Bloomington usually means one of two things: a full tear-off and replacement on an existing home, or a roof going onto new construction. Both are jobs we handle regularly, and they’re quite different in practice. A tear-off on a 1960s tract house near Cactus Avenue starts with removing every layer down to the framing, because that’s the only way to see what you actually have. New construction is cleaner. There’s no demolition, no two-layer problem, no hidden fasteners.
Full Tear-Off and Replacement
A complete roof replacement in Bloomington costs $9,500 – $18,500 on a typical 1,200 – 1,800 square foot single-story home. The range reflects shingle grade, decking condition, and whether the old roof is a single layer of asphalt or a multi-layer mess. We write the price in a line-item contract before work starts.
If you live in one of the older neighborhoods near Cedar Avenue or Locust Avenue, assume the existing roof gives up more than shingles. We see cracked decking, old drip edge that’s rusted through, and flashing that was never installed correctly in the first place.
Roof Decking Replacement
Decking is the plywood or OSB beneath your shingles, and on Bloomington’s 1950s and 1960s tract homes it’s often original 3/8-inch plywood that’s warped from decades of Inland Empire heat and occasional roof leaks. You can’t see it until the old roof comes off, so any honest quote includes an allowance for replacement boards. We price decking per sheet and only replace what’s actually failed.
Reroofing in Bloomington
Reroofing in Bloomington often gets quoted as a simple overlay, and we usually advise against it. Here’s the issue: many homes in 92316 were built with wood shake or asbestos-cement shingles, and a previous owner laid asphalt over the top instead of removing them. That’s legal in some situations and tempting for the price, but it doubles the weight on aging framing and hides failures until they’re expensive. A proper reroof here means full tear-off, inspection of what’s underneath, and a clean install.
Multi-Layer Tear-Off
On a 1962 tract home near Cactus Avenue, our crew tore off two layers: original wood shake and an asphalt overlay. Underneath, we found cracked, undersized decking that had to be replaced before new underlayment and GAF architectural shingles went down. We wrote up the decking upgrade and new drip edge in a change order the homeowner approved before we touched the roof, turning what could have been a surprise into a planned cost.
If your Bloomington home still has that two-layer roof, expect the tear-off to run $2 – $4 per square foot for removal and disposal, which is higher than a single-layer job because of the volume and the care required with asbestos-containing materials.
When Overlay Is Acceptable
Overlay can work on a newer roof that has one clean layer of asphalt shingles, no water damage, and solid decking. We’ll tell you if your roof qualifies. On most Bloomington homes, it doesn’t, and we’ll explain exactly why rather than taking your money for something that’ll fail in ten years.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bloomington
We’re authorized to install from seven major manufacturers, so your choice isn’t limited by what we happen to stock. GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, Boral. We install them all, so we can recommend honestly. For Bloomington’s low-pitch roofs and intense sun exposure, we often suggest a higher-wind-rated architectural shingle from GAF or Atlas, but the decision is yours. Material availability in Bloomington is rarely a hangup because our suppliers run regular routes through the Inland Empire, and we order as soon as your contract is signed.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Bloomington Homes
- Two-layer roofs hiding rot. Original wood shake or asbestos-cement shingles overlaid years ago with asphalt trap moisture against the decking. By the time leaks show indoors, the plywood underneath is often compromised across wide sections.
- Premature shingle cracking from Inland Empire heat. Summer highs above 100°F bake asphalt shingles until they lose their volatiles and split, especially on south-facing slopes along the 10 freeway corridor.
- Failed flashing at valleys and penetrations. The original flashing on 1960s tract homes was thin galvanized steel that corrodes after 50 years. Leaks first show up around chimneys, plumbing vents, and valley intersections, then spread.
- Low-pitch roof failures from skipped underlayment. Many Bloomington homes have shallow roof slopes that should get ice and water shield or a full self-adhered underlayment at the eaves and valleys. When earlier reroofs skipped it, the roof fails early in those zones.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Bloomington
Bloomington roof replacements typically add $2 – $4 per square foot over comparable Fontana or Rialto jobs because the city’s older homes frequently have multi-layer roofs. Removing two layers of old material, especially when the bottom layer is wood shake or asbestos-cement, takes longer and costs more in disposal fees. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll tell you exactly what your roof is made of before you budget.
You approve the cost before we touch it. We write a change order for the decking replacement with per-sheet pricing, you sign it, then we proceed. If you choose not to go forward, we stop work and settle up for what’s been done. Since we set aside a decking allowance in our initial quote, a weakened section rarely shocks anyone from the median home on Cactus Avenue or anyone else in 92316.
Yes, San Bernardino County requires a permit for roof replacement in Bloomington, and the inspector checks underlayment, nailing pattern, and drip edge before the final shingles go on. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and correct anything the inspector flags. The permit fee is included in our quote. Budget $200 – $600 for it depending on roof size.
Bloomington summer highs regularly pass 100°F, which cracks cheap asphalt shingles early and bakes underlayment until it’s brittle. We recommend lighter-colored architectural shingles for their UV resistance and your cooling bill, and we use self-adhered underlayment at eaves and valleys on low-pitch roofs. The material upgrade adds $1 – $2 per square foot and usually pays for itself in roof lifespan.
Sometimes, but usually not in Bloomington. If your roof already has two layers, overlying isn’t allowed by code, and on an original wood shake or asbestos roof it’s a bad idea even if it were. If your roof has one clean asphalt layer and solid decking, overlay is legitimate and saves $3 – $5 per square foot. We’ll tell you which situation you’re in. Call (866) 942-4187 for the answer.
