Roofers in Pomona, CA
Roof inspection in Pomona starts with understanding what this city’s homes actually face: pre-1950s wood-frame construction, original skip sheathing, and Santa Ana wind exposure that turns small issues into real leaks fast. Van Nuys Roofing Co has served Pomona since 2015, and we’ve inspected enough roofs across the 91766 and 91767 ZIP codes to know exactly where problems hide. Call (866) 321-6172 when you need a straight answer about your roof’s condition, not a sales pitch.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona’s housing stock runs older than most of the San Gabriel Valley. Drive through the neighborhoods north of Holt Avenue and you’ll see Craftsman bungalows from the 1910s and 1920s, post-war tract homes from the 1940s and 1950s, and a scattering of newer builds. The older homes matter for roofing because many still carry original 1×4 skip sheathing beneath the shingles, not the solid plywood decking you’ll find in Claremont or La Verne. Skip sheathing means shingles fasten to narrow boards with gaps between them, and after decades of thermal expansion in Pomona’s inland heat, those boards dry out, split, and lose their grip on nails.
Then there’s the wind. Santa Ana events hit Pomona from the northeast in fall and winter, and the west-facing slopes on homes in the 91767 flats routinely lose ridge caps and lifted shingles after a strong blow. We see it every year. Combine that with UV degradation from long, hot summers and you get roofs that fail by drying out and tearing rather than by moss and rot, which is more of a coastal problem. If your Pomona home still has original composition shingles from the 1980s, they’re well past their expected life in this climate.
Permits in Pomona go through the city’s Building and Safety Division, and any re-roof over a certain square footage needs one. We handle that as part of our replacement work, but it’s worth knowing that older homes with skip sheathing sometimes need a sheathing overlay to meet current code before the new roof goes on. That’s a Pomona-specific conversation we have regularly.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Pomona Services
Most Pomona homeowners call us for one of two things: a roof that’s actively leaking after wind or rain, or a roof that’s clearly at the end of its life and needs full replacement. Both start with the same step: an honest look at what’s actually going on up there.
Roof Repair in Pomona
Repair work in Pomona tends to center on wind-lift damage from Santa Ana events, dry-rotted fascia and rafter tails on older wood-frame homes, and leaks around penetrations like vents, chimneys, and skylights. Because so many Pomona roofs sit on skip sheathing, we’re careful about re-fastening and matching the existing system rather than slapping on a patch that won’t hold. Our repair crew knows how to work with composition shingles, wood shingles, and clay tile, so the fix matches the roof you already have. Roof Repair in Pomona covers the full scope of what we do, from single shingle replacement to full leak remediation.
Roof Replacement in Pomona
When a Pomona roof has reached the point where repairs no longer make financial sense, a full replacement is the answer. Older homes with skip sheathing often need new decking installed first, and we’ll tell you honestly if that’s required before we quote the job. We walk you through the material decision without steering you toward one brand. You’ll hear us talk about CertainTeed and GAF, but the choice stays yours. Roof Replacement in Pomona has the full breakdown of how we handle tear-off, decking, underlayment, and installation from start to finish.

Roof Inspection in Pomona
A Roof Inspection in Pomona makes sense as a standalone service when you’re buying or selling a home, when you’ve lived in the house for years without ever looking at the roof, or after a Santa Ana wind event leaves you wondering if anything is damaged. Because so many Pomona homes predate modern roofing standards, what we find often surprises homeowners: dry-rotted sheathing hidden under intact shingles, lifted ridge caps on the west slope, or original flashing that’s pulling away from the chimney. We inspect first and recommend second, and you’ll never feel pushed into a repair you don’t need.
Roof Inspection Services
Signs you need it
You’ve noticed granules collecting in gutters, curling or missing shingles after wind, water stains on ceilings, or you’re in escrow and the home inspector flagged the roof for further review.
What it costs in Pomona
A standard visual roof inspection in Pomona typically falls between $180 and $350 depending on roof complexity, access difficulty, and whether the property is single-story or two-story.
How we do it
We walk the entire roof surface, check flashing at all penetrations and transitions, examine the underside of eaves for water damage, photograph everything we find, and deliver a written report with repair or replacement options prioritized by urgency.
Hail Damage Roof
Signs you need it
You’ve spotted dents in metal vents or gutter downspouts, shingles with dark circular impact marks, or neighbors on your block are getting roof inspections after the same storm.
What it costs in Pomona
Hail damage assessment in Pomona runs from $200 to $400, and includes impact-mapping across all roof slopes with photo documentation suitable for insurance claims.
How we do it
We identify hail strikes by tapping shingles and inspecting for bruising beneath the granule surface, map the affected slopes, and give you a written report you can take to your insurer or contractor.
Roof Estimate
Signs you need it
You know the roof is aging and you want a real number for repair versus replacement before you start making budget decisions or talking to lenders.
What it costs in Pomona
A line-item roof estimate in Pomona ranges from $150 to $300, which is typically credited back against the repair or replacement work if you proceed with us.
How we do it
We measure the roof, assess decking condition, account for Pomona’s skip-sheathing reality on older homes, and write a fixed-price estimate with no change-order surprises.
Free Roof Inspection
Signs you need it
You’re not sure if the roof even has a problem but it’s been over 15 years since anything was done and you want a professional set of eyes on it without committing to spend.
What it costs in Pomona
Free roof inspections in Pomona are offered as part of replacement quotes; a standalone inspection without any repair or replacement discussion typically runs $180 to $350.
How we do it
We come out, do a full visual inspection, tell you honestly whether the roof needs work or not, and give you a written condition summary either way.
Roof Inspection Companies
Signs you need it
You’ve already gotten one inspection from a company that seemed to treat it as a sales call, and you want a second opinion from a crew that does inspections as a real service, not a foot-in-the-door.
What it costs in Pomona
Getting a second-opinion inspection from a separate Pomona roofing company usually costs between $200 and $350, a small price compared to replacing a roof that didn’t need it.
How we do it
We treat the inspection as its own job, deliver the written report without pressure, and only talk about repair or replacement if your roof actually calls for it.
What Roof Inspection Costs in Pomona
| Item | Typical range in Pomona |
|---|---|
| Standard visual roof inspection | $180 – $350 |
| Hail damage assessment with documentation | $200 – $400 |
| Line-item repair vs. replacement estimate | $150 – $300 |
Older two-story homes with steep pitches or limited access push inspection costs toward the higher end of these ranges, as does anything requiring attic access or drone documentation. Our written estimate is always a fixed number before we start the inspection, and never changes at the end.
Should I get a roof inspection before selling my Pomona home?
Yes, especially for homes built before 1950. Buyers in Pomona increasingly request roof certifications in escrow, and a pre-listing inspection lets you fix issues on your schedule instead of negotiating deductions later. Call (866) 321-6172 for an exact quote.
What does a roof inspection include in Pomona?
It includes a full surface walk, flashing checks at every penetration, eave and soffit inspection, granule-loss assessment, and photo documentation of any damage found. The written report shows you exactly what needs attention now and what can wait.

What Pomona Customers Say
"Valley had been done without proper underlayment and was leaking. Redone correctly, and he explained exactly what had been wrong so I could understand it."
— Matt Kowalski"Flashing where the roof meets the chimney had never been done right by the original builder. He rebuilt it properly with step flashing instead of just running a bead of caulk over it like the last two people did."
— Yolanda Grant"Roof is solid and the price was competitive. The job ran a day over because of weather, which is nobody's fault, but I would have liked a call about it rather than noticing the crew hadn't shown up."
— Carmen Ramirez
