Roofers in Fontana, CA
Roofing in Fontana means working on a housing stock that was largely built between the 1950s and 1980s, much of it single-story ranch and Spanish-influenced tract homes with low-slope roofs. The sun here is unrelenting, the Santa Anas hit hard in the fall, and the older north-side neighborhoods still have pockets of original wood shake that insurers won’t touch anymore. We’re Brennan Roofing, and we work to The Garrison Standard: a written price before any work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians on every job, and a full-year written guarantee. Call (341) 208-3988 for a free estimate.
Why Fontana Homes Are Different
Fontana’s rapid postwar expansion produced thousands of single-story ranch and tract homes with low-slope composition shingle roofs, and those roofs are now 50 to 70 years old. In neighborhoods north of Foothill Boulevard, scattered original wood shake roofs still survive, and most of them are now uninsurable, which has pushed a wave of complete tear-offs to fire-resistant composition or tile. The dominant housing stock here is 1950s to 1980s single-family ranch and Spanish-influenced tract homes, mostly one-story with low to medium roof pitches, originally built with composition shingle or built-up roofing. Many have been re-roofed once and are now due for their second replacement.
The climate does not do these roofs any favors. Fontana’s inland location means hot, dry summers with intense UV exposure that accelerates shingle granule loss and thermal cracking, occasional Santa Ana wind gusts that test uplift resistance, and rare but heavy winter rain events that find every weak flashing joint. When we inspect a Fontana roof, we look at the south and west exposures first, because those are the ones the sun has been working on for decades.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Fontana Services
Fontana homeowners call us most often for full roof replacements on aging ranch homes and for targeted repairs after wind or rain finds a weak spot. Each service has its own page with local pricing, process, and what to expect.
Roofing Company in Fontana
Full roof installation and replacement in Fontana usually means a complete tear-off of an old composition shingle or built-up roof, replacement of damaged decking, new underlayment, and a fresh shingle system rated for our UV load. On older ranch homes, we often find decking rot around the eaves that the previous reroof covered rather than fixed. The written price you get before work starts includes all of that, because we walk the roof and check before we quote. See Roofing Company in Fontana for full details.
Roof Repair in Fontana
Roof repair in Fontana is usually about wind damage, failed flashing, or a leak that shows up after one of our rare heavy winter rains. On older tract homes, the most common failure points are pipe boots, valley metal, and the flashing where the roof meets a chimney or a patio cover. We write the repair price down before we start, and if the repair fails within one year, we come back for free under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. More at Roof Repair in Fontana.
Roof Inspection in Fontana
A roof inspection in Fontana tells you what you actually have up there, and how much life is left in it. For older ranch homes north of Foothill, that often means documenting granule loss, cracking at the ridge, and whether the original wood shake is even insurable anymore. We inspect, we show you photos, and we give you a written report with a plain-English explanation of what needs attention now and what can wait. Details at Roof Inspection in Fontana.

- Joe K."Ridge vent added and the attic is cooler. Fair price compared to the other two quotes."
- Vernon C."Neat, quiet, and disciplined crew. Magnet swept the yard after."
