Why Oakmont Roof Repair Is Mentone’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
Mentone homeowners call us because we stock what their roofs actually use. That matters more here than in most Inland Empire towns. This is unincorporated San Bernardino County, not city jurisdiction. The permitting process is different, the housing stock is different, and the roofs are different. We carry seven major roofing lines – GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral – so when a Mentone homeowner needs clay tile matched or a specific architectural shingle blended into a repair, we’re not guessing or ordering from a catalog and hoping. We know the local material yards and what’s available within a day or two. Our Roof Repair team handles everything from a single missing ridge cap to a full wind-damage assessment after a canyon blow.
We also show up prepared for what Mentone actually throws at a roof. That means checking decking condition, drip edge spacing, and fastener pattern, not just the visible torn shingle. The Crafton Avenue repair we did after the last big Santa Ana event is a good example. The homeowner called about ridge caps in the yard. What we found was decking that had been patched with mismatched plywood over the years and drip edge nailed every 24 inches, which is way too sparse for wind loads coming off Mill Creek Canyon. Fixing the visible damage would have lasted one season. We corrected the underlying fastening and underlayment, then re-secured the ridge with a high-wind rated vent system and matched the existing GAF Timberline shingles so the repair disappeared into the roof. That’s the difference between a patch and a repair.
Styles & brands we work with
Metal Roof Repair in Mentone
Metal Roof Repair on Mentone acreage properties usually means fixing wind-lifted panels, failed screws and washers, or transition flashing where a metal outbuilding roof meets a shingle or tile main house. We see a lot of shops, barns, and detached garages out here with standing seam or corrugated metal roofs that were installed correctly but never re-torqued after the first Santa Ana season. Wind working the panels back and forth loosens fasteners over time, and once water gets under a lifted panel, the decking below starts failing in a place nobody looks until it’s bad.
Fastener replacement and re-securing
Most metal roof repairs on Mentone outbuildings come down to removing the failed fasteners, checking the neoprene washers, and re-securing panels with the correct screw pattern for exposed fastener systems. We also inspect the lap joints where panels overlap. If wind got under the lap, the seal often goes with it.
Metal-to-shingle transitions
Where a metal shop roof ties into a composition shingle main roof, the transition flashing is the weak point. We fabricate and install proper counter-flashing and seal the lap correctly. A Mentone metal roof repair typically runs $450 to $1,200 depending on panel count, fastener replacement scope, and whether we’re re-securing or replacing sections.
Commercial Roof Repair in Mentone
Commercial Roof Repair in Mentone covers the low-slope and flat roof systems on the small commercial buildings along Mentone Boulevard, the churches and ranch offices off Highway 38, and the larger outbuildings on working acreage. These roofs catch the same Santa Ana wind and UV that the houses do, but they fail differently. Low-slope membrane roofs here struggle with seam separation and punctures from wind-blown debris. After a big blow, we regularly see membrane tears along the perimeters of commercial buildings where the roof edge meets parapet walls.
Flat and low-slope membrane patching
We patch cracked or torn single-ply membrane, re-seal failed seams, and address ponding areas around roof penetrations. On a Mentone commercial roof, ponding water after winter storms is often the first sign of a sagging substrate or a clogged drain that’s been ignored through the dry season.
Roof penetrations and flashing on commercial buildings
HVAC curbs, vent stacks, and exhaust pipes are the entry points for water on low-slope commercial roofs. We re-flash and seal these penetrations using the correct materials for whatever membrane is up there. Commercial roof repair in Mentone typically ranges $650 to $2,800 depending on membrane type, damage extent, and whether we’re patching or re-flashing multiple penetrations.
Trusted Brands We Service in Mentone
Oakmont Roof Repair carries and services roofing materials from seven manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That breadth matters in Mentone because the housing stock is so varied. A 1960s ranch on a half acre might have GAF architectural shingles while the newer home next door has Boral clay tile and a metal shop out back. We’re not tied to one manufacturer’s line, so the repair recommendation is based on what the roof needs and what matches the existing material, not what we happen to stock. For Mentone customers, that means proper material matching on the first visit and no wait while a single-brand roofer orders from another state. We keep common repair components for shingle, tile, metal, and low-slope systems in our local inventory, and we quote using real material pricing from our seven brand lines so you see honest options.

AfterCommon Roof Repair Problems We See in Mentone Homes
- Wind-uplift shingle and ridge cap loss. Santa Ana winds funneling out of Mill Creek Canyon hit west- and north-facing roof slopes the hardest. Ridge caps and starter strip shingles lift off, exposing fasteners and underlayment to UV, which means a small wind repair left alone becomes a larger framing and sheathing repair inside two years.
- Flat-roof ponding on older patio additions. The flat or low-slope roof over a 1970s ranch home’s covered patio is a classic Mentone trouble spot. Winter storms dump water that sits, cracks membrane seams, and rusts the transition flashing where the flat roof ties into the main pitched shingle roof.
- Drip edge and flashing failures on mixed-roof acreage properties. Houses with shingle main roofs plus metal outbuildings, tile pool houses, or membrane flat additions have multiple transition points. Each transition is a flashing detail, and each one is a place water gets in when the flashing was under-specified or never maintained.
- Tile cracking from thermal cycling. Mentone’s hot, dry summers and cold mountain nights put clay and concrete tile through repeated expansion and contraction. Hairline cracks form, water seeps to the underlayment, and by the time the crack is visible from the ground, the underlayment has often already deteriorated.

FAQs About Roof Repair in Mentone
Yes, in many cases you do. Mentone is unincorporated San Bernardino County territory, not city jurisdiction. Roof repairs that involve structural decking replacement, changes to roof slope, or work on detached structures may require a county permit, and inspectors can evaluate septic and well setbacks alongside the roofing work. A simple shingle replacement over existing decking typically doesn’t need one, but if we’re cutting into roof structure or re-framing, we’ll flag it during the estimate. We handle the permit application when it’s needed, but it can add one to three weeks to a project timeline, so we scope it early rather than surprising you after the tear-off. Call (866) 942-0875 and we’ll tell you during the estimate whether county permitting applies to your specific repair.
Santa Ana winds in Mentone routinely exceed 50 mph in gusts funneling out of Mill Creek Canyon, so we specify high-wind rated shingles and increase the fastener count per shingle beyond the minimum. We also inspect and correct drip edge spacing because wind lifted the underlayment on too many older Mentone roofs where drip edge was nailed every 24 inches instead of the 8 to 12 inches required for wind zones like this one. The west- and north-facing slopes need the most attention. Call (866) 942-0875 and we’ll walk your roof with you to show where wind is already working against the fasteners.
Yes, if the membrane is still sound. We patch the cracked seams, re-seal the transition flashing where the flat roof meets the shingle main roof, and correct the drainage slope where we can. If the ponding has been happening for years, the substrate may be sagged or rotten, and that changes the scope. The honest answer is that a patio roof with severe decking rot under the membrane will need more than a patch, but we’ll show you photos from the inspection so you see exactly what we’re seeing. Call (866) 942-0875 for a condition assessment and a real repair scope.
They get quoted on the visible damage only. On a Mentone acreage property, that means the torn shingle row gets priced while the mixed-roof transitions, outbuildings, and underlayment condition get ignored. Then six months later the flashing leaks and the “cheap” repair cost double. A proper quote on a Mentone roof includes the square count for the whole roof, the decking condition, the transition details between the shingle main roof and any flat or metal sections, and whether county permitting applies. We build this into every estimate. Call (866) 942-0875 for a quote that actually covers your roof, not just the part that’s falling off.
Yes. We carry clay and concrete tile lines through our manufacturer portfolio, including Boral, and we match the profile, color, and surface texture of your existing tiles. For older Mentone tile roofs where the original tile is discontinued, we source period-appropriate salvage tile or find the closest current production match and blend the new tiles across the repaired field so the repair doesn’t read as a patch. Call (866) 942-0875 and we’ll bring tile samples to the estimate.
