Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Citrus
Roof replacement in Citrus runs $11,500 – $19,400 for a typical single-story ranch home, depending on material, pitch, and decking condition. We schedule free estimates across Citrus within 3 – 5 business days, and full tear-offs usually take 2 – 4 working days once materials land. Call (866) 321-6172 and we’ll walk your roof with you before you commit to anything.
We’ve worked enough roofs in the 91702 to know what Citrus throws at a house. Inland San Gabriel Valley sun cooks asphalt shingles years before the marine layer would. The foothill edges collect leaf litter in valleys and behind chimneys. And when the Santa Anas kick up, that debris becomes fuel. We inspect first, recommend second, and we don’t push a brand because a supplier cut us a deal. Your roof, your material choice.
Why Van Nuys Roofing Co Is Citrus’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
It comes down to one thing: we don’t treat Citrus like a satellite of L.A. The roofs here are mid-century, mostly 1940s – 1970s single-story stucco ranches on original or second-generation composition shingle. That means a lot of tear-offs where the first layer dates to the postwar build-out and the flashing at valleys and penetrations never got upgraded. We know what we’re going to find before we cut the first shingle, and we quote accordingly.
Our Roof Replacement crews carry the full brand lineup because Citrus homeowners shouldn’t be forced into one manufacturer’s ecosystem. GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, Boral. Seven leading brands, one crew that knows them all. When we recommend a material for your roof, the recommendation comes from the roof’s condition, your budget, and the ember-catch reality up against the foothills, not from a supplier incentive. That’s the whole point of working with us.
Rick Dominguez runs the crews. He’s the reason we inspect first and sell second. If a repair buys you five more years, we’ll tell you that before we quote a replacement. The inspection is available standalone, no repair purchase required. It’s the most honest way to start a roofing conversation, and it’s how we’ve earned the trust of homeowners across Citrus and the surrounding foothill communities.
Styles & brands we work with






Roof Replacement Contractor in Citrus
A Roof Replacement Contractor in Citrus handles the full tear-off and rebuild, and the job here usually means more than just shingles. We remove the old roof down to the decking, replace any rotted or sun-baked sheathing, upgrade the underlayment to current code, and install new flashing at every penetration. In Citrus, that last part matters more than in flatland cities because the valleys and chimney crickets collect hillside debris that holds moisture against the metal. A full replacement for a typical 1,200 – 1,800 sq ft ranch in Citrus runs $11,500 – $19,400, including decking repair where needed.
Decking Repair and Rotted Sheathing
Most Citrus homes were built before OSB was standard, and the original plywood or tongue-and-groove decking has had decades of heat and the occasional leak working on it. We replace rotted sections before the new roof goes down. Skipping that step means nailing fresh shingles into wood that won’t hold the fastener.
Full Valley and Flashing Replacement
Old valley metal and pipe boots are the first thing to fail on a Citrus roof. We don’t patch over them. Every valley gets new metal or woven shingle with ice and water shield under it, and every penetration gets a new boot or pan. The goal is a roof that sheds water and embers, not one that looks fine from the street.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Citrus
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement is the most common job we do in Citrus, and for good reason. The housing stock leans heavily toward low-pitch and gable ranches built between 1945 and 1975, and most of them have never been off their original composition shingle. Inland Valley heat and UV dry out and curl asphalt shingles years before a similar roof in Long Beach or Torrance would fail. A full asphalt shingle replacement in Citrus typically runs $11,500 – $17,200, depending on shingle grade, pitch, and whether the decking needs work.
Architectural Shingles for Foothill Homes
We recommend architectural shingles on most Citrus replacements. They’re thicker, they hold up to thermal expansion better than 3-tab, and they’re part of a Class A fire-rated assembly when installed over the right underlayment. The wind-rating question matters too. Ask for a ASTM D3161 Class F or ASTM D7158 Class H rating, minimum 110 mph, and make sure the shingle is nailed per the manufacturer’s high-wind pattern. The right product and proper fastener schedule are the difference between a roof that lasts 25 years and one that peels in a Santa Ana event.
Flat Roofing on Additions and Patio Covers
A lot of Citrus homes have flat or low-slope sections over porches, carports, and later additions. These sections need a different material, usually modified bitumen or a peel-and-stick membrane with sealed seams. We handle flat roofing and sloped shingle work on the same project, so you’re not coordinating two different crews.
Trusted Brands We Service in Citrus
We’re brand-agnostic, and that matters in a town like Citrus where the right material depends on your exact location relative to the foothills. We stock and install GAF, CertainTeed, and Tamko shingles, and we can source Boral products or Owens Corning service in Citrus for homeowners who want tile or stone-coated steel. If a Citrus homeowner asks for a Boral concrete tile roof over an asphalt tear-off, we can do it, and we’ll spec the underlayment for Class A fire resistance. Fast turnaround on material orders for Citrus jobs means a replacement doesn’t stall while someone argues with a single-brand distributor.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Citrus Homes
- Sun-baked shingles down to the decking. Inland Valley UV exposure and summer attic temps dry out asphalt composition shingles years before coastal roofs fail. By the time we tear off a Citrus roof, the shingles are often brittle enough to snap by hand, and the decking underneath has been heat-cycled for decades.
- Hillside leaf litter packed into valleys and behind chimneys. Foothill-adjacent roofs collect debris that flatland cities don’t. Once dry Santa Ana winds hit, that debris load is an ember-catch hazard. We replace valleys with clean metal runs and sealed underlayment so there’s nowhere for fuel to accumulate.
- Old flashing at valleys and penetrations that never got upgraded. Rare winter rainstorms find the weak points on a mid-century roof, and on Citrus ranches the valleys and pipe penetrations are where the water gets in. The flashing was installed once in 1962 and never touched again. We replace it all on every job.
- Low-pitch original roofs with inadequate underlayment. Many Citrus homes were built at pitches that were barely adequate for the original 3-tab shingle, and the underlayment was either absent or rotted away. Modern code requires a full ice and water shield at eaves and valleys. We spec it on every replacement, and it’s not optional here.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Citrus, CA
A full asphalt shingle roof replacement on a single-story Citrus ranch runs $11,500 – $17,200. If you’re on a larger or two-story home, a full tear-off with architectural shingles lands in the $15,800 – $19,400 range. The spread comes down to decking condition, roof pitch, and whether we’re handling flat sections or tile transitions. Here’s what that looks like line by line:
| Scope | Citrus Price Range |
|---|---|
| Full tear-off and haul-off (single-story ranch, 1,200 – 1,800 sq ft) | $4,200 – $6,800 |
| Architectural shingle installation (materials + labor) | $5,800 – $8,400 |
| Decking repair / replacement (per sheet, typical job: 4 – 10 sheets) | $900 – $2,400 |
| Valley and flashing replacement (all valleys, pipe boots, chimney flashing) | $1,200 – $2,100 |
| Underlayment upgrade (full ice and water shield at eaves and valleys) | $700 – $1,300 |
The price you’ll actually pay comes down to what’s under the shingles. We give you a written line-item quote after the inspection. Free estimate, fixed pricing, no change orders. Call (866) 321-6172 to schedule yours.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Citrus
Ask for an ASTM D7158 Class H shingle rated for at least 110 mph, and make sure the installer follows the manufacturer’s high-wind nailing pattern. That means six nails per shingle in a specific placement, not four nails wherever the nail gun lands. We spec that pattern on every Citrus replacement because the Santa Anas don’t care about your warranty paperwork if the shingles peel. Call (866) 321-6172 and ask us about wind-rated installation on your roof specifically.
We schedule free estimates in Citrus within 3 – 5 business days of your call. Tear-offs and replacements are usually scheduled 2 – 3 weeks out once you approve the quote and materials are ordered. If you have active leaking, tell us on the phone and we’ll move the inspection up. Call (866) 321-6172 and we’ll get you on the calendar.
Yes. We work throughout the entire 91702, from the flatland tracts near Azusa Avenue to the foothill-adjacent streets climbing toward Glendora Mountain Road and the forest boundary. The ember-catch and debris concerns along the northern edge get the same treatment regardless of which block you’re on, but we spec the assembly for your specific street’s exposure.
Roughly the same base cost as Azusa, Covina, Irwindale, and Glendora, with one Citrus-specific variable: the decking. Mid-century ranches here have older, more sun-baked sheathing, so decking replacement runs higher than in newer housing stock. A Citrus tear-off with moderate decking repair lands in the same range as a comparable Covina job. The difference is we quote the decking honestly after inspection, not as a surprise change order mid-job.
Yes, manufacturer warranty eligibility applies on every brand we install in Citrus, including full-system warranties on GAF and CertainTeed assemblies when the underlayment, shingles, and ridge all come from the same manufacturer. The warranty is with the manufacturer, not us, and we make sure the installation meets their spec so the warranty actually activates. Call (866) 321-6172 and we’ll walk you through which warranty lines up with your budget.
We tore off a postwar composition layer on a low-pitch ranch near the foothill edge of Citrus, and the original valleys were packed with hillside leaf litter that had cooked into the decking under inland Valley UV. Our crew rebuilt the valleys with new ice and water shield, set stainless fasteners through the drip edge and fascia line, and laid GAF architectural shingles with a Class A assembly and sealed flashing at every penetration. The homeowner’s attic temps and the ember-catch risk in those valleys were both addressed in one scope. That’s the job we do here.
If your Citrus roof is nearing the end, don’t wait until a winter rainstorm finds the weak spots. Call us at (866) 321-6172 for a free inspection and a line-item quote. We’ll tell you whether a repair makes sense or a replacement is the honest call. Repair or replace, we’ll tell you which one actually makes sense.
