Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Pomona
Roof replacement in Pomona typically runs $8,500 to $16,500 for a standard asphalt shingle tear-off and re-roof on a 1,200 to 1,800 square foot home, and most jobs take three to five working days once materials land. The bigger variable in Pomona isn’t brand or labor rate – it’s what we find when the old roof comes off. Pre-1950s homes in the 91766 and 91767 ZIP codes regularly sit on 1×4 skip sheathing instead of solid plywood decking, and that one condition changes everything about how we prep, fasten, and price the job.
We’re Van Nuys Roofing Co, and we handle Roof Replacement across Pomona with a simple rule: inspect first, recommend second. If you’re weighing repair against replacement, call (866) 321-6172 and we’ll give you a straight answer about which one actually makes sense for your roof.
Why Van Nuys Roofing Co Is Pomona’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Pomona homeowners call us because we don’t push a single brand and we don’t pretend every roof needs the same fix. Our crews know the difference between a 1920s Craftsman bungalow off Garey Avenue and a 1960s tract home near Fairplex, and we price the work accordingly. That local knowledge matters when the real cost driver is hiding under the shingles.
We work with seven major material manufacturers – GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That means manufacturer warranty eligibility is available across multiple product lines, not just the one brand a single-brand shop happens to stock. Our installers know the technical installation requirements for each, so you get an honest recommendation based on your roof’s exposure and your budget, not a supplier incentive.
Led by Rick Dominguez, our Pomona crews handle full tear-offs, flat roof sections, decking replacement, and new construction roofing in-house. No referrals, no subcontractor roulette. One crew, one contract, and a written line-item price before we start. Rick’s rule is the same on every Pomona job: anything we find once the roof is open gets priced in writing and approved by you before we spend a dime on it.
Styles & brands we work with






Flat Roof Replacement in Pomona
Flat Roof Replacement in Pomona is common on the post-war tract homes and garage additions scattered through the 91766 and 91767 ZIP codes, where low-slope sections meet pitched roofs and collect more debris and heat than the main roof plane. A flat roof section under 400 square feet on a Pomona garage or addition typically runs $3,200 to $5,800 for full tear-off, new underlayment, and either modified bitumen or TPO membrane, depending on access and drainage condition. Larger flat roof areas on commercial-style residential builds can push past $9,000.
Flat sections on pitched roofs
Many Pomona homes built between 1920 and 1960 have a flat section over a porch, a back addition, or a converted garage. These areas fail faster than the pitched shingle roof because water pools longer and the membrane takes direct UV sun all day. We inspect the transition flashing between the flat membrane and the shingle roof closely – that seam is where most leaks start on older Pomona homes.
When a patch won’t cut it
If the membrane has blistered, the decking below feels spongy, or you’re seeing water stains on the ceiling under a flat section, replacement usually beats another patch. We’ll tell you straight if a repair buys you two years or if you’re throwing money at a membrane that’s already done. The estimate is free either way.
Call (866) 321-6172 to schedule a flat roof inspection in Pomona – we’ll measure, check the drainage, and give you a written price.
Roof Installation in Pomona
Roof Installation in Pomona covers two situations: full replacements on existing homes and complete roof systems on new construction or additions. A new architectural shingle roof on a standard Pomona ranch or bungalow runs $8,500 to $14,000, including tear-off, decking repair, underlayment, new flashing, and ridge ventilation. Full tear-offs with skip sheathing re-nailing typically add $1,200 to $2,800 depending on the board condition and how much sistering the decking needs.
Architectural shingles for wind exposure
Pomona’s Santa Ana wind events hit west-facing slopes hard, and many older homes still have the original three-tab shingles with their weak nailing pattern. Architectural shingles – the laminated style from GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning – carry higher wind ratings and hold their seals better when the wind shifts direction. We upgrade the nailing pattern and starter strip on every Pomona install because the wind here doesn’t care what the original spec said.
Decking replacement on older homes
If the home pre-dates 1960, expect open skip sheathing under the old shingles. We don’t lay underlayment over split or loose boards. The decking gets re-nailed, overlaid with CDX plywood where the spacing doesn’t meet modern fastener requirements, and only then do we install the roof system. You’ll see that scope item as a line in the contract before we start, not as a surprise after.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Skip sheathing that splits under re-nailing. Pre-1950s bungalows in 91766 and 91767 often have 1×4 boards spaced apart instead of solid decking. When we tear off old shingles, those boards are frequently split, cupped, or pulling loose, leaving nothing solid to fasten new underlayment to. We re-nail, sister, or overlay before any new material goes down.
- West-facing slopes losing ridge caps after Santa Ana events. Homes in the 91767 flats take wind lift on the west exposure, and we regularly find lifted shingles and missing ridge caps after a big wind event. The original fastening pattern was never designed for repeated Santa Ana cycles, so we upgrade nailing and add a full starter strip on every west slope we re-roof.
- Dry rot and failed flashing under aging composition shingles. Hot inland summers bake Pomona roofs, and UV degradation weakens the flashing seals around vents, skylights, and valleys long before the shingles look bad. Tear-off exposes rot at the fascia and rafter tails on a lot of older Pomona homes, and that needs to be cut out and sistered before new metal goes in.
- Original clay tile on early Craftsman homes hitting end of life. Some Pomona Craftsman-style houses still carry original clay tile, and while the tile itself lasts, the underlayment beneath it doesn’t. Re-roofing these means removing tile carefully, replacing the underlayment and battens, and resetting or replacing the tiles. We handle this in-house – you don’t need a separate tile specialist.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Pomona
Yes, a full roof replacement in Pomona requires a building permit through the city, and depending on the age of your home and what the inspector finds, opening the roof can trigger code upgrade requirements for decking, ventilation, or fire-rated underlayment. We pull permits on every Pomona roof replacement, and we handle any code-driven scope changes with written change orders before work proceeds. Call (866) 321-6172 to find out what your specific roof will need.
Skip sheathing is a roof deck made of spaced 1×4 boards instead of solid plywood or OSB, common on Pomona homes built before 1950. It matters because modern underlayment and shingles need solid, evenly spaced fastening, and skip sheathing boards frequently split, cup, or pull loose when you try to re-nail them. We re-nail, sister, or overlay the decking before installing anything new, and that work is written into your contract as a line item.
We measure the roof by square (100 square feet of roof area), and then we add line items for decking repair, flashing replacement, ventilation, and any flat sections or tile sections that need separate treatment. Most Pomona homes between 1,200 and 1,800 square feet have a roof area between 15 and 22 squares, which is how we arrive at the $8,500 to $16,500 range. Call (866) 321-6172 for a measured, line-item quote on your specific roof.
Yes, architectural shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning carry wind ratings between 110 and 130 mph, which covers the gusts Pomona sees during Santa Ana events. The key is installation: we upgrade the nailing pattern, add a full starter strip, and verify the decking is solid before any shingle goes down. That’s the difference between a roof that survives twenty Santa Ana seasons and one that loses shingles in the first big blow.
Yes, we handle flat roof sections on Pomona homes in-house – no separate subcontractor. Most flat sections on older Pomona homes are under 400 square feet and sit over porches, garages, or additions, and we replace them with modified bitumen or TPO membrane depending on slope and drainage. The transition flashing between the flat section and the shingle roof is included in the scope, and we price the flat section separately from the pitched roof.
