Owens Corning Roofing in Fontana, CA | Brennan Roofing Co Riverside
We provide independent Owens Corning service across Fontana as a Roofing Company - Fontana, from full replacements using Duration or Oakridge shingles to surgical repairs on older homes. What makes our Owens Corning work different here comes down to one thing: we know how these shingles fail in Fontana’s specific heat and wind because we’ve pulled them off hundreds of local ranch houses. Call (341) 208-3988 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Fontana Residents Choose Us for Owens Corning Service
Plenty of roofing companies can install an Owens Corning product. Fewer understand how a 1998 Oakridge shingle behaves after 25 years of Fontana sun, or what a Santa Ana gust does to the sealant on a Duration shingle at the north eave of a 1960s tract home. Owner Travis Oakley learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent the better part of two decades putting roofs on Inland Empire homes, so when we quote an Owens Corning job in Fontana, we’re quoting it from direct experience, not a manufacturer spec sheet.
We’re an independent Owens Corning sales & service provider. That means we install and repair Owens Corning products daily, but we don’t claim factory backing or authorized status. What we do claim is something more useful to a Fontana homeowner: we know which OC lines hold up on low-slope ranch roofs here, which ones fail early, and when a repair makes sense versus a full tear-off.

Common Owens Corning Roofing Problems We Solve in Fontana
- Premature granule loss on Oakridge shingles. Fontana’s intense July and August UV exposure cooks the asphalt layer and loosens granules faster than coastal climates ever see. Once the fiberglass mat is exposed, surface cracking follows within a season or two. We replace the affected field shingles when the deck is sound, or recommend a phased re-roof when it isn’t.
- Wind uplift at rake and eave edges on Duration shingles. After Santa Ana events, we find shingles pulled loose at the north-facing eaves on exposed streets. The sealant has usually hardened into brittle strips that no longer hold. We re-lay with a six-nail fastening pattern and fresh OC starter strip.
- Thermal splitting and curling on discontinued Supreme three-tab shingles. Fontana’s older ranch homes, especially those built in the 1950s and 1960s, often still have their original or second-layer Supreme shingles. Intense heat cycling near roof penetrations causes the tabs to curl and crack. Matching is tough, but we pull from salvage when possible.
- Starter strip delamination on 2000s-era installations. Roofs installed 20-25 years ago often had starter strips that have since separated, causing shingle blow-off at the eave line. We see this routinely in Fontana’s 1980s tract subdivisions.
- Decking failure beneath failed shingles. On older Fontana homes, especially north of Foothill, the sheathing underneath a leaking Owens Corning roof is often original 1950s plywood or plank that can’t pass current nailing standards. We quote the overlay work separately so homeowners know the full cost before we start.
Owens Corning Service in Fontana: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
The older neighborhoods north of Foothill Boulevard, like the subdivisions off Citrus and Juniper, have some of the last uninsurable wood shake roofs in Fontana. When we do an Owens Corning asphalt tear-off there, we sometimes pull back the old shake to find original 1950s decking that can’t pass current nailing standards without a full plywood overlay. That’s a Fontana-specific problem, and it changes the scope and the price of a re-roof before we ever open the first bundle of shingles. A homeowner who gets a quote from a company unfamiliar with this area might get a number that doesn’t include that decking work, then face a change order mid-job. Our written estimates account for what’s actually under the old roof, because we’ve opened enough of them in Fontana to know what we’ll find.
We saw this play out on a ranch on Juniper Street north of Foothill. After a Santa Ana event, the homeowner called us about wind-blown Duration shingles at the north eave. The sealant had hardened into brittle strips. We pulled back the damaged course, replaced two deck boards, installed an OC starter strip with proper nailing pattern, and re-laid shingles using a six-nail fastening to survive the next blow-this is the kind of Roof Repair - Fontana homeowners can count on. That’s the difference between a repair that holds and one that fails at the next wind event.
Owens Corning Models & Products We Service in Fontana
Our crews work on the full Owens Corning residential lineup you’ll find on Fontana roofs. The Duration Series is the current workhorse: architectural shingles with SureNail technology, common on re-roofs from the last 10-15 years. The Oakridge Series shows up on homes reroofed in the 1990s and 2000s, and we see its granule loss and wind uplift failures regularly here. The Supreme and Fiberglas three-tab lines are discontinued but still on thousands of older Fontana homes; we pull matching shingles from salvage when possible or recommend a phased re-roof with a modern OC line. We default to genuine Owens Corning shingles for full replacements to match existing roof lines, but use quality aftermarket underlayments, flashing, and sealants that meet or exceed local code for patching.

AfterOwens Corning Service Pricing in Fontana
Here’s what Owens Corning roofing work typically runs in Fontana, based on what we quote regularly. A small repair, like replacing 10-15 damaged shingles on a simple one-story ranch, falls between $450 and $900 depending on access and whether the deck underneath is sound. A full replacement on a 1,200-1,600 square foot Fontana ranch using Duration or Oakridge architectural shingles runs $11,000 to $18,000, including tear-off, underlayment, and standard decking repair. If we’re dealing with an old wood shake tear-off north of Foothill with decking that needs a plywood overlay, add $2,500 to $4,000. A phased re-roof of half a roof on a larger home starts around $6,500. Every estimate is written, itemized, and fixed before any work begins. Call (341) 208-3988 for an exact number on your roof.

FAQs – Owens Corning Roofing in Fontana
Duration shingles perform well when installed correctly with a six-nail pattern and fresh starter strip, but on older Fontana ranch homes, the failure point is usually the sealant, not the shingle itself. After years of heat cycling, the sealant hardens and loses adhesion, so wind gusts catch the edges and lift them. The fix is re-laying the affected course with proper fastening and new OC starter strip. Call (341) 208-3988 for an inspection if you’ve seen missing shingles after a wind event.
Supreme three-tab shingles on 50-70 year old Fontana homes are simply at the end of their service life. Thermal splitting and curling near roof penetrations is the most common failure we see, and it accelerates every hot summer. Matching individual Supreme tabs is limited; we pull from salvage when we can, but on most Fontana homes we recommend a phased re-roof with a current Owens Corning line rather than patching beyond repair.
Owens Corning’s shingle lines are rated for slopes of 2:12 and above. On Fontana’s many ranch homes with a flat or very low-slope section, typically over a patio or addition, shingles aren’t the right product. We use a built-up roofing or modified bitumen system for those sections and tie it into the Owens Corning shingle field properly with flashing, so the whole roof works as one system.
No. Overlaying shingles on an old wood shake roof in Fontana is a bad idea for two reasons: the uneven surface prevents proper shingle sealing, and the original decking underneath often doesn’t meet current nailing standards. The right approach is a full tear-off, deck repair or overlay as needed, then new Owens Corning shingles. We’ll quote the complete scope before any work starts. Call (341) 208-3988.
No. We’re an independent contractor, not a factory-authorized installer, but we install Owens Corning products according to manufacturer specifications.

Call (341) 208-3988 and we’ll explain what the warranty covers before you sign anything.
