Fast, Reliable Roof Repair Across Highland
Roof repair in Highland typically runs $350 – $1,400 for most leak and shingle fixes, with larger tile or decking jobs reaching $2,500 – $6,000 depending on what we find once the roof is opened up. We dispatch crews to Highland neighborhoods like East Highlands, North Bench, and the Baseline corridor throughout the week, and we answer our phone with a live person around the clock. If you’ve got water on a ceiling or tiles missing after a Santa Ana, call (341) 208-3988 and we’ll get someone out to look.
Highland’s housing stock is what makes repair work here different. Most homes were built between the 1970s and 1990s, and thousands still carry their original concrete tile roofs. Those roofs are now at the end of their design life, and the repairs they need often uncover conditions a newer roof wouldn’t hide. We know what to expect on a Highland roof because we’ve opened enough of them. That matters when you’re deciding whether a leak is a two-hour fix or a sign of something under the surface.
Why Brennan Roofing Co Riverside Is Highland’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
Highland homeowners call us because they want a written number before work starts, and they want that number to hold. Every job we do in Highland begins with a written price in hand. No work starts until you’ve seen the dollar figure on paper and approved it. That’s the Garrison Standard, and it applies to a vent boot replacement on a 1980s ranch off Boulder Avenue the same way it applies to a full re-roof up in East Highlands.
We operate as an independently owned and operated member of the Garrison Partners family, founded in 2000. That structure gives us access to manufacturer lines like GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning without the corporate call-center feel. Travis Oakley runs our crew, and the technicians who arrive at your Highland home are background-checked and in uniform. You know who’s on your roof. You know who’s accountable.
Response time to Highland is straightforward: when you call, a live person answers. No voicemail tree, no “press 2 for service.” We schedule a window, we show up inside it, and we give you the price before we touch anything. If the repair fails within one full year, the 365-Day Done Right Promise kicks in and we come back at no charge. In writing.

Metal Roof Repair in Highland
Metal Roof Repair in Highland usually means one of three things: a failed fastener or gasket, a seam that’s opened from wind lift, or a penetration like a pipe boot that has cracked from years of intense UV on a standing-seam or ribbed panel roof. A straightforward fastener or seam repair on a metal roof in Highland runs $350 – $800. A larger section where panels have pulled loose or flashing has torn can reach $1,200 – $2,400.
Highland’s semi-arid climate works against metal roofs in a specific way. The panels expand and contract through hot summers, and the rubber washers on fasteners dry out and crack over ten to fifteen years of sun. Then a Santa Ana wind event gets under a panel edge, and you’ve got a leak that doesn’t show until the first real rain. We check the fasteners, the panel laps, and the transition flashing at walls and valleys, and we’ll tell you honestly if the panel is worth repairing or if the damage has run its course.
Fastener and Panel Repair
This is the most common metal repair we make in Highland. We replace dried washers and screws, re-secure lifted panels, and seal the laps with a product matched to the panel profile. Most fastener and panel repairs are done in a single visit.
Metal Valley and Penetration Sealing
Valleys on metal roofs carry more water than any other area, and the old sealant used at valley laps dries and separates. We clean the seam, install a proper butyl tape and lap sealant, and check the downhill drainage. On pipe penetrations, we replace the rubber boot with a UV-rated unit and re-flash the base.
Commercial Roof Repair in Highland
Commercial Roof Repair in Highland covers low-slope and flat roofing on the retail, office, and light warehouse buildings along Baseline, Boulder Avenue, and the commercial strips near the 210 and 330 freeways. A typical flat roof patch or seam repair on a commercial building in Highland runs $600 – $2,000 depending on the roof system and the size of the affected area. Larger repairs involving wet insulation removal or a full roof section can run higher.
Flat and low-slope roofs in Highland take a beating from the high-desert sun. Membrane seams open, flashing at parapet walls separates, and water that ponds on a low spot eventually finds a seam or a penetration and works its way in. We handle TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen repairs, and we match the membrane type that’s already on the building so the repair bonds correctly.
Seam and Flashing Repair
Open seams and failed parapet flashing are the two most common commercial calls we get from Highland property owners. We heat-weld TPO and PVC seams where the system allows it, and we re-flash wall intersections with a detail that sheds water instead of holding it.
Flat Roof Leak Investigation
Commercial leaks rarely show up directly under the source. Water travels across the deck, follows a truss line, and drips at the lowest point. We use the building’s layout and drainage pattern to trace the path, then open only what’s needed to confirm the entry point. That keeps the repair small and the price contained.
Trusted Brands We Service in Highland
We install and repair materials from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Atlas, Tamko, IKO, and Boral, and we carry common repair materials for the tile and shingle profiles found across Highland. That means when we open up your roof and find a cracked tile or a blown shingle, we’re not telling you the part is special-order and the price doubled. We stock what Highland roofs actually use, and we source the rest directly from manufacturer lines. When we replace concrete tile on an older Highland ranch, we match the profile and color as closely as the current market allows, and we tell you up front if the original tile is long since discontinued.

AfterCommon Roof Repair Problems We See in Highland Homes
- Failed original plastic cement at hips and ridges. On 1970s – 1990s concrete tile roofs, the cement used at hips and ridges dries out over decades of Highland sun, cracks, and lets water in. The leak shows on the ceiling only after the first real rain.
- Spaced-sheathing decking under original tile. Highland homes built before the mid-1990s often have gaps between the deck boards. When underlayment fails, wind-driven rain from Santa Anas gets under the tile and onto the wood, rotting decking you can’t see until we lift the tile.
- Curled 3-tab starter shingles at the eaves. Decades of solar gain on the east and south exposures curl the starter course at the eave line. That’s the first place water gets in on an older shingle roof.
- Wind-lifted tiles and broken ridge caps after Santa Ana events. The dry, gusty winds that funnel through the pass lift tile edges and crack ridge caps. Homeowners find loose tiles in the yard after a wind event, and the exposed underlayment starts the clock on a leak.
Pricing for Roof Repair in Highland, CA
Roof repair in Highland ranges from about $350 for a simple shingle or vent boot replacement up to $1,400 for a typical leak repair that involves flashing work and some tile or shingle replacement. When decking is rotted and framing at the eaves needs reinforcement, the job moves into the $2,500 – $6,000 range. That’s the honest spread for Highland, CA because the housing stock is older and the roofs have outlived their original underlayment. Every quote we write in Highland has the price on paper before any work starts, and that price does not move once we’re on the job unless we find something that requires a written change order you sign first.

FAQs About Roof Repair in Highland
The leak has been there for months; you just haven’t had enough water falling to make it show. Highland’s long dry stretches let failed sealant and cracked hip cement sit dormant, then the first atmospheric river storm dumps enough water to saturate the underlayment and reach the ceiling. Call (341) 208-3988 the first time you see the stain; the sooner we trace it, the less decking rots.
Replacing a handful of broken tiles as a like-for-like repair typically does not require a permit in Highland. But if the repair opens the decking and exposes spaced sheathing, and we need to upgrade to solid sheathing or replace rotted framing, that’s a code-triggered change that should be permitted. We pull permits when the scope requires them and we don’t skip that step to make the quote look cheaper.
Normal wear is slow: UV dries seam sealant, cement cracks, shingles curl. Santa Ana damage is sudden and directional: tiles lift at the windward eave, ridge caps break off and land in the yard, and wind-driven rain is pushed under laps and up under the tile at angles the roof wasn’t designed to shed. After a strong wind event, walk the perimeter and count the missing pieces, then call (341) 208-3988 for a full inspection before the next rain.
Spaced sheathing was standard construction on Highland homes built from the 1970s into the early 1990s: the deck boards are laid with gaps between them to let the roof breathe under concrete tile. The problem comes when the underlayment fails, because the gaps give wind-driven rain direct access to the attic. When we lift tile and find spaced sheathing with rotted spots, any meaningful repair usually means upgrading to solid sheathing before new underlayment goes down.
Often yes, but not always. Highland has a lot of 1970s and 1980s tile profiles in earthy reds, browns, and tans, and several are still produced or have close modern matches. We’ll bring tile samples to your home and match them against the existing roof in full sun before we write the price. If no match exists, we’ll tell you that up front and show you the closest option, so the decision is yours.
If your Highland roof is leaking or you’ve found broken tiles after a wind event, call (341) 208-3988 to schedule a free estimate. We’ll send a background-checked, uniformed technician, put the price in writing before any work starts, and stand behind the repair with the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
