Fast, Reliable Roof Repair Across Highland
Roof repair in Highland usually runs $350 – $1,400 for most shingle, flashing, and leak work, with storm damage repairs on the higher end because they often involve decking and underlayment. We get to Highland homes fast, usually within one to two business days for non-emergency calls, and we carry parts for all seven major shingle and tile brands we service. If you’re staring at a water stain on your ceiling or shingles in the yard after the last Santa Ana event, call us at (866) 321-6172 and we’ll tell you straight what you’re dealing with.
Highland isn’t San Bernardino or Redlands. The foothill edges of 92346 bake under mountain-reflected heat, and the Cajon Pass funnels wind through exposed tracts in a way valley-floor cities don’t feel. We know which slopes on a Highland roof fail first, and we scope repairs slope-by-slope instead of selling whole-roof work that isn’t needed. That’s why we inspect first and recommend second.
Why Van Nuys Roofing Co Is Highland’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
Highland homeowners call us because we give straight answers. We don’t push a single brand, we don’t upsell replacement when a repair will hold, and we don’t hide behind vague language when a roof is genuinely at the end of its life. We work across GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, which means our recommendation is based on your roof and your budget, not on what we happen to stock.
Our Roof Repair team has worked the 92346 foothill tracts enough to recognize the pattern: west slopes sun-baked to brittleness, east slopes still serviceable, original underlayment drying out underneath. That local knowledge means we don’t under-scope repairs the way a low-ball bidder will. We also don’t over-scope them. If a repair holds, we tell you. If replacement makes more sense, we show you the numbers and let you decide.
Rick Dominguez runs our crews, and he’s been clear about how we operate since day one: open it up, document what’s there, price the surprise in writing before touching it. No change orders that show up after the fact. If you’re in Highland and want an honest read on a roof issue, call (866) 321-6172. We’ll schedule the inspection, walk the roof with you if you want, and give you a written line-item quote before any work starts.
Styles & brands we work with






Shingle Roof Repair in Highland
Shingle Roof Repair in Highland means matching the existing shingle type, color, and exposure on a roof that may be 20 to 60 years old. Highland’s mix of mid-century tract homes and 1960s – 90s stucco ranches means we’re often repairing architectural or three-tab asphalt shingles, occasionally a concrete tile. A straight shingle replacement, where we swap out damaged shingles and reseal the surrounding course, typically runs $350 – $700 on a Highland home. If decking replacement or underlayment work is needed, the job moves into the $900 – $1,400 range once materials and labor are accounted for.
On Highland’s west-facing slopes specifically, shingles bake from mountain-reflected heat and direct afternoon sun. That means the shingles we’re removing are often so brittle they crack apart when pried up. We factor that into the repair plan from the start, which is something a crew that only works flat, shaded neighborhoods won’t anticipate.
Matching Aged Shingles
Sun-bleached shingles from the 1990s or earlier have faded, and a brand-new shingle laid next to them will stand out. We match color and exposure as closely as the material allows, and we’ll tell you honestly if a seamless match isn’t possible on a heavily faded slope. Sometimes that’s a reason to consider replacement on just that elevation, but that’s your call, not our upsell.
Brittle Shingle Removal
West-slope shingles in Highland often can’t be lifted cleanly. They crack, crumble, and shed granules. Our repair method accounts for that: we remove the surrounding course carefully, inspect the underlayment and decking underneath, and replace what’s compromised before relaying shingles. That’s the difference between a repair that lasts and one that fails in the next wind event.
Storm Damage Roof Repair in Highland
Storm Damage Roof Repair in Highland is almost always tied to wind from the Cajon Pass corridor or a Santa Ana event that lifts shingles, tears off ridge caps, or scours starter strips on exposed elevations. Repair costs here range from $500 for a small wind-lifted section to $1,400 or more when decking has been exposed, underlayment is compromised, and flashing has to be reworked. Fast response matters because an open spot on a roof is one rain event away from interior damage.
We opened a 1960s stucco ranch near the foothill edge of Highland to fix what the homeowner thought was one blown-off ridge section. The original underlayment had crumbled to dust under sun-baked architectural shingles on the west slope, and the decking showed soft spots where a prior repair had skipped ice and water shield at the valleys. We replaced the failed decking, laid new underlayment and drip edge, re-flashed the penetrations, and priced the framing repair in writing before cutting anything else. The repair stayed a repair instead of turning into a full re-roof.
Wind-Lifted Shingles and Ridge Caps
When wind gets under a shingle tab at the right angle, it lifts and snaps the seal. We re-secure the shingle, but we also check the nail pattern. Fatigued fasteners from decades of thermal cycling will let the next gust do the same thing. If the fasteners have failed, we re-nail the course rather than gluing over the problem.
Exposed Decking After Blow-Offs
Once shingles are gone and the roof deck is exposed, the clock is running. We assess the decking, check for soft spots, and replace sections that are compromised before laying new underlayment and shingles. On Highland homes where the original underlayment has dried out, a blow-off often reveals more damage than the homeowner expected. We document it, show you photos, and get written approval before expanding the scope.

AfterCommon Roof Repair Problems We See in Highland Homes
- West-slope shingle baking and sealant failure. Mountain-reflected heat and afternoon sun break down shingle sealant years before the east slope shows wear. Inspectors routinely find two completely different ages of wear on the same roof.
- Dried-out original underlayment under 1960s – 90s tract shingles. When we open a repair, the underlayment often crumbles on contact. A small leak fix becomes a decking and underlayment replacement once the shingle course is up.
- Wind-scoured starter strips and drip edge on exposed elevations. Cajon Pass gusts hit the edges first. Re-nailing shingles over fatigued fasteners without checking the decking just moves the failure down the line.
- Soft decking at valley intersections from skipped ice and water shield. Prior repairs that cut corners at valleys leave the decking vulnerable. We inspect these areas every time we open a Highland roof.

FAQs About Roof Repair in Highland
Because Highland’s older tract homes often have dried-out original underlayment and soft decking hiding under shingles that looked fine from the outside. Once we lift the shingle course to fix a leak or wind damage, we can see what’s underneath. If the underlayment crumbles or the decking is compromised, the repair expands. We document it, show you photos, and get written approval before doing anything beyond the original scope. Call (866) 321-6172 if you want an inspection before you commit.
Not necessarily. In Highland’s foothill tracts, west slopes age much faster than east slopes due to mountain-reflected heat. We can often replace just the west slope if the rest of the roof is still serviceable. A full replacement is only warranted when both slopes, the underlayment, and the decking are all failing. We’ll tell you which it is after a slope-by-slope inspection.
Small repairs like shingle replacement and flashing work typically don’t require a permit in Highland. Larger structural repairs that involve decking replacement or framing may trigger a permit and inspection. We pull permits when required and handle the inspection process, so you don’t have to coordinate with the city. We’ll tell you upfront if your repair falls into permit territory.
Santa Ana winds hit Highland’s exposed elevations hard, lifting shingles and scouring starter strips and drip edge. The repair decision hinges on whether the fasteners and decking are still sound. If we re-nail shingles over fatigued fasteners or soft decking, the next wind event undoes the repair. We check the full assembly before deciding what to replace.
We repair GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. Brand affects the repair mainly in terms of material matching and installation requirements. Each manufacturer has specific nailing patterns, exposure, and sealant specs. A crew that only knows one brand will miss those details. We know all seven, so the repair is done to the manufacturer’s standard. Call (866) 321-6172 and we’ll match your roof correctly.
