Fast, Reliable Roofing Company Across Highland
If you own a home in Highland, you already know the question isn’t whether your roof will need work, it’s when. Most houses here were built between the 1970s and 1990s, and a lot of them still carry their original concrete tile. Decades of high-desert UV and seasonal Santa Ana winds take a toll. When a tile lifts or a valley leaks, you don’t need a sales pitch. You need a crew that shows up, puts the price on paper, and does the job right the first time. Our Roofing Company team serves Highland homeowners with exactly that. Call (341) 208-3988 and you’ll get a live person on the line, not a voicemail.
Why Brennan Roofing Co Riverside Is Highland’s Preferred Roofing Company Company
Homeowners in Highland have been burned by no-shows, lowball bids that balloon at the door, and crews that leave nails in the driveway. We built our reputation by running every job under The Garrison Standard: a written price before any work starts, a background-checked uniformed technician on site, and a one-year guarantee in writing. The phone is answered by a live person around the clock. No automated system. No callback queue.
Highland’s housing stock is mostly single-family detached homes, many with the original roof still on. That means when we inspect a roof near Baseline or in East Highlands, we’re looking at decking that may be spaced, tiles that may be cracked from thermal cycling, and flashing that has been drying out for decades. We know what to look for because we’ve seen it on hundreds of local roofs. You’ll get a straight answer about what needs replacing and what can be repaired, and the number you’re given is the number you’ll pay.

Free Roof Estimate in Highland
A Free Roof Estimate in Highland starts with a physical inspection of your roof, your attic, and your existing decking. That’s where other roofers cut corners. They quote from the ground or from satellite images. We get on the roof. We lift tiles. We check the underlayment at valleys and the drip edge at eaves. That inspection is how we can put a real number on paper before work begins, not a guess that moves later.
Inspection Before Any Number
On older Highland homes, the condition of the decking determines everything. If the sheathing is spaced rather than solid, a code-compliant re-roof requires more prep. If the plastic cement at hips has dried out, water has already found a way in. We include all of it in the written estimate, so you’re not hit with a change order after tear-off. Travis Oakley runs our estimates personally whenever he’s in the field, and he’s the first to tell a homeowner what’s actually under those tiles.
What You Can Expect
You’ll get a line-item price. Material costs, labor, decking replacement allowance, underlayment, drip edge, haul-away, permit fees. All on paper before anything is touched. If we find something unexpected during tear-off, it gets priced and approved in writing before we proceed. That’s The Garrison Code. No surprises at the door, no phone calls asking for more money mid-job.
Roofing Contractor in Highland
When you hire a Roofing Contractor in Highland, you’re hiring someone who understands what 40 years of sun, wind, and occasional heavy rain does to a roof. A roof replacement here isn’t a generic shingle swap. It’s a teardown of old concrete tile, an honest assessment of the decking underneath, a new underlayment rated for our UV exposure, and new material installed to withstand the next Santa Ana event.
Full Replacement vs. Repair
Some roofs can be repaired. Cracked tiles can be swapped, dried-out plastic cement at hips can be removed and replaced, and a failed valley can be rebuilt. But if the underlayment is compromised under spaced sheathing, a patch job will fail again within a season or two. We’ll tell you which situation you’re in. The written estimate reflects that reality, not a hope.
Code Upgrades When Walls Come Open
A roof replacement in Highland triggers code requirements that older homes don’t currently meet. Underlayment must be rated for current exposure. Decking that’s rotted or spaced incorrectly has to be corrected. Eave protection gets added where there was none. None of this is optional, and all of it should be in your quote from day one. We pull the permit, we schedule the inspection, and we make sure it passes before we call the job done.
Trusted Brands We Service in Highland
We install materials from GAF, Boral, and CertainTeed, among others. For Highland’s older ranch and split-level homes, that matters because not every product works under this climate. Concrete tile reflects heat well but is heavy and brittle after decades. Asphalt shingle is lighter and easier to maintain. Boral tile gives you the look of the original concrete with a lighter profile. We walk you through the options plainly, including cost and lifespan, so you choose what actually fits your house and budget. We stock common replacement parts locally, which means less waiting when a repair is needed fast.

AfterCommon Roofing Company Problems We See in Highland Homes
- Curled 3-tab starter shingles at eaves. On older tile roofs in East Highlands, the starter course under the first row of tile takes decades of direct solar gain. Once it curls, wind-driven rain gets underneath and finds the soffit.
- Dried-out plastic cement at hips. The original adhesive used at hip lines on 1980s roofs was plastic cement. It hardens, cracks, and pulls away from the tile, opening a channel for water that shows up on interior ceilings after the first heavy storm.
- Missing drip edge. Many original Highland roofs were installed without drip edge, which lets water wick back under the eaves and into the fascia. On a tile-to-shingle conversion, reusing the old perimeter metal is a common shortcut that fails during Santa Ana wind events.
- Underlayment failure on spaced sheathing. Homes built with 24-inch-spaced trusses and skip sheathing need a heavier underlayment spec. A thin felt will sag between the gaps, tear, and fail years early under Highland’s UV and thermal cycling.
Pricing for Roofing Company in Highland, CA
A full roof replacement in Highland typically runs $11,000 to $26,000 depending on size, pitch, material, and decking condition. An asphalt shingle re-roof on a 1,800-square-foot ranch usually lands between $11,000 and $16,000. A concrete or Boral tile replacement runs $19,000 to $26,000. Repairs are smaller: a tile valley rebuild runs $800 to $1,800, a hip-regrind repair $400 to $900, and a skylight reflash $350 to $700. The big variable is decking. If the sheathing underneath is spaced or rotted, prep work adds real money, and that’s exactly why we inspect before we quote. Call (341) 208-3988 for a free estimate with the numbers on paper.

FAQs About Roofing Company in Highland
Because the decking is the job. On a 1970s-to-1990s Highland home, the wood under the tile may be spaced sheathing, may be rotted at valleys, or may be perfectly sound. You cannot know without lifting tiles and looking. A quote that skips this step is a guess, and a guess becomes a change order the week work starts. We inspect first and put the decking allowance in the written estimate, so the price you approve is the price you pay. Call (341) 208-3988 for an exact quote.
Some can be repaired, and we’ll tell you honestly which camp you’re in. Cracked or slipped tiles can be replaced individually. Dried-out hip cement can be scraped and redone. But if the underlayment under spaced sheathing is deteriorated, a patch won’t hold. The water has already reached the decking. In that case, a full tear-off with new synthetic underlayment is the repair that actually lasts. We’ll show you photos from the inspection so you can see what we see. Call (341) 208-3988.
Santa Ana winds hit Highland from the northeast with gusts that can lift tile edges and tear shingles at the rake. If your edge metal is reused or your drip edge is missing, wind-driven rain gets pushed under the roof covering and into the soffit or attic. That’s why we specify new perimeter metal on every replacement and check the rake edges on every repairable tile roof. The first heavy rain after a wind event is when most Highland homeowners find out their flashing wasn’t done right.
A square is 100 square feet of roof area, not the footprint of your house. A 1,800-square-foot ranch with a 4:12 pitch has roughly 20 squares of roof. If one quote says 22 squares and another says 18, one of them measured wrong or one of them is lowballing to win the job. Ask for the square count in writing. It keeps the math honest, and it’s the first thing we verify during our estimate. Call (341) 208-3988 for a free measurement.
Yes, a re-roof in Highland requires a permit and an inspection. The code upgrades that typically get triggered are underlayment class, eave protection, and decking condition. If the existing decking is spaced, you may be required to bring it to current fastening standards. None of this is optional, and all of it is in our written quote from the start. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and stand by the work for one full year in writing. Call (341) 208-3988 to get your free estimate.
