Roofers in Fontana, CA
Roof inspection in Fontana should start with an honest read of what the inland heat and Santa Ana winds have already done to your roof. Most Fontana homes fall into two camps: older postwar tracts south of the 210 where original asphalt roofs are decades past their intended life, and the 1990s-2000s builder stock north of the 210 where tile and dimensional asphalt roofs went on in big synchronized waves and are now aging out together. Van Nuys Roofing Co handles inspection, repair, and full replacement in Fontana without pushing you toward a single manufacturer’s product line. Call (866) 321-6172 when you want a straight answer about what’s actually happening up there.
Why Fontana Homes Are Different
Fontana’s roofing market splits along the 210. South of the freeway, in the 92335 and 92331 ZIP codes, you’re looking at 1950s through 1970s tract homes with original wood-sheathed asphalt roofs. Many still have low-slope overhangs, enclosed patios, and additions that were roofed with whatever was on hand. North of the 210, in 92336 and 92337, the story changes completely. Thousands of two-story stucco homes went up in master-planned phases, most wearing clay or concrete tile or low-pitch dimensional asphalt. Whole blocks of tile roofs installed during the same builder phase now hit underlayment failure and broken-tile leaks at roughly the same time, which means crews here routinely replace matching tile runs on adjacent houses within a single season.
The climate pushes everything harder. Summer highs routinely pass 100°F with relentless UV, baking asphalt shingles until they curl and crack years before a coastal roof would. Santa Ana winds in the fall lift tile, tear ridge caps, and drive debris across roof planes. Tile underlayment dries out, seals break down, and the first real rain finds every weak point at once. Fontana isn’t a market where you can defer roof work and expect it to hold.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Fontana Services
Most Fontana homeowners call us for one of two reasons: something is leaking or visibly failing, or they know their roof is approaching the end of its life and want a straight read on repair versus replacement. Both start the same way, with an inspection that tells you what’s actually needed.
Roof Repair in Fontana
Repair work in Fontana ranges from sealing a cracked tile and replacing a few curled shingles to rebuilding a wind-damaged ridge or fixing a flat-roof overhang that’s been pooling water since the last big storm. The heat and Santa Ana cycles mean sealants and flashing fail here faster than on the coast, so we look for the failure behind the visible damage, not just the obvious break. One honest inspection separates a $400 fix from a $4,000 one. See Roof Repair in Fontana for full details on what we fix and what it costs.
Roof Replacement in Fontana
Replacement in Fontana usually comes down to two situations: a south-side home with its original 50-year-old asphalt roof finally giving out, or a north-side tile home where the underlayment has failed and the tile itself is still structurally sound. We handle both, along with HOA tile-profile matching that matters on north Fontana’s planned streets. You get material-neutral recommendations across seven major brands, not a pitch for whatever we happen to stock. See Roof Replacement in Fontana for line-by-line pricing and the full process.

Roof Inspection in Fontana
A roof inspection in Fontana is the only way to know whether the heat and wind have done real structural damage or just cosmetic aging. Homes south of the 210 often carry original wood-sheathed asphalt roofs that are 40 to 60 years old, and a visual check of the shingle surface misses what’s happening in the decking underneath. North of the 210, tile roofs fail at the underlayment and flashing long before the tile itself looks bad, so homeowners get leaks with no obvious broken tile above them. We inspect first and recommend second, and the inspection stands on its own whether or not any repair or replacement follows. Roof Inspection is available as a standalone service, no repair purchase required.

What Fontana Customers Say
"Fixed the leak and it has stayed fixed through a wet winter. Scheduling the initial estimate took about a week and a half, so they're clearly busy."
— Colleen Padgett"Added a ridge vent and cleared the blocked soffit vents. Attic temperature in the summer dropped noticeably and the upstairs is livable now."
— Daniela Delgado"Full replacement after the hail. They handled the insurance adjuster meeting, documented everything, and I did not have to argue with anybody. Crew was here three days and the yard was cleaner when they left than when they started."
— Maya Shah
