Roofers in Fontana, CA
Roof inspection in Fontana is the smartest first call a homeowner can make, and it’s where we usually start. The city’s housing stock splits into two very different roofing worlds: postwar flat-roofed tract homes in the older core around 92335, and 1980s – 2000s pitched-roof subdivisions spread across 92336 and 92337. Inland heat, Santa Ana winds, and wind-driven grit from the San Gabriel foothills create wear patterns you won’t find 40 miles west. Oakmont Roof Repair has served Fontana since 2013, and we carry seven major roofing brands so the recommendation matches your roof, not our inventory. Call (866) 942-0875 to schedule a roof inspection and find out exactly what your roof needs before you spend a dollar.
Why Fontana Homes Are Different
Fontana sits on the alluvial fan at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, and that geography shapes every roof we touch. Summer highs routinely cross 100°F, and asphalt shingles in direct Fontana sun age faster than the same product would on the coast. Thermal cycling, the daily expansion and contraction from blazing afternoons to cool desert nights, cracks tile and works flashing loose over time. Then come the Santa Anas. In the northern foothill subdivisions of 92336 and 92337, dry wind events peel ridge caps and rake-edge shingles on windward slopes. We check and re-nail ridge caps after big wind episodes in those neighborhoods because we know the failure pattern; the flat older core of 92335 almost never sees it.
The older central Fontana housing stock, built in the 1950s and 60s, is dominated by low-slope and flat roofs: tar-and-gravel or modified bitumen over stucco tract homes. Roof replacements there routinely expose original sheathing and skipped underlayment from fast postwar construction. The north-side subdivisions are a different animal entirely: composition shingle and concrete tile on pitched roofs, where wind-driven dust from the old Kaiser Steel site and the surrounding washes works grit under shingle edges and loosens ridge caps. A roofer in Fontana runs two completely different plays depending on which ZIP code the house sits in.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Fontana Services
Most Fontana homeowners call us for one of two reasons: a leak or visible damage that needs repair, or a roof that has reached the end of its serviceable life and needs replacement. Here’s what each involves in Fontana specifically.
Roof Repair in Fontana
Repair work in Fontana usually means sealing penetrations on flat roofs in the older core, or re-securing lifted shingles and ridge caps on the north-side slopes after a Santa Ana event. We handle everything from pipe boot failures and cracked flashing to wind-lifted rake edges and isolated tile replacement. One thing that catches homeowners off guard is how grit from Fontana’s washes accelerates underlayment wear, which is why we always inspect the underlayment around any repair area, not just the visible damage. For the full scope of what we fix and how we price it, see our Roof Repair in Fontana page.
Roof Replacement in Fontana
Replacement in Fontana means two very different jobs depending on your neighborhood. In 92335, we’re stripping tar-and-gravel or modified bitumen off low-slope roofs and often replacing skipped or rotted sheathing underneath. In 92336 and 92337, we’re tearing off tired composition shingles or cracked tile and rebuilding on pitched roofs. Because we carry GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, the material choice is driven by your home’s style, slope, and budget, not by what we happen to stock. Details on the process and material options are on our Roof Replacement in Fontana page.

Roof Inspection in Fontana
A roof inspection in Fontana answers one question: what does this roof actually need, and what can wait? In the older 92335 flats, that often means finding hidden membrane splits and blistered tar before they become ceiling stains. In the 92336 and 92337 foothill subdivisions, it means checking ridge caps, rake edges, and flashing after Santa Ana wind events, because those fail first on windward slopes. We offer roof inspection as a standalone service through our Roof Inspection program, so you get an honest condition report without being pushed into a replacement you don’t need.
Roof Inspection Services
Signs you need it
You’ve spotted a water stain on the ceiling, noticed granules collecting in gutters, or simply haven’t had a professional look at the roof in five or more Fontana summers.
What it costs in Fontana
A comprehensive residential roof inspection in Fontana typically runs $145 – $490 depending on roof size, access, and whether you need documented findings for a real estate transaction.
How we do it
We walk the entire roof surface, check flashing, penetrations, ridge caps, and valley conditions, then photograph everything and deliver a written condition report with repair and replacement recommendations ranked by urgency.
Hail Damage Roof
Signs you need it
Fontana gets occasional hail, and after any storm you should look for bruised shingle granules, dented roof vents, or soft spots where impact shattered the shingle mat.
What it costs in Fontana
Hail damage assessment in Fontana is usually included in a full roof inspection at $145 – $490, with repair costs starting around $250 – $520 for minor shingle or flashing fixes.
How we do it
We inspect the entire roof for impact points, document hail bruising with close-up photos, and give you a straight answer on whether an insurance claim is warranted or if repairs are small enough to handle out of pocket.
Roof Estimate
Signs you need it
You’re planning a replacement or major repair and want a written, line-item price before committing to any work.
What it costs in Fontana
A roof estimate in Fontana is free when it’s part of a project we’d perform; line-item written estimates are included with every inspection at no extra charge.
How we do it
We measure the roof, calculate material quantities, and build a fixed-price quote that lists every line item so you can compare materials and scope without surprise change orders.
Free Roof Inspection
Signs you need it
You’re not sure whether the roof needs work at all and want a professional assessment before spending repair money.
What it costs in Fontana
Free roof inspections in Fontana are offered as a courtesy when repairs or replacement result from the visit; standalone documented inspections run $145 – $490.
How we do it
We inspect the roof, tell you honestly whether anything needs attention now, and if the roof is sound, you get that answer without paying for it.
Roof Inspection Companies
Signs you need it
You’re weighing your options among Fontana roofing companies and want a defensible, third-party-style assessment from a company whose entire focus is roofing.
What it costs in Fontana
Inspection pricing among Fontana roof inspection companies runs $145 – $490 for a documented residential report, with real estate inspection add-ons like drone imaging at the higher end.
How we do it
We’re roofing specialists, not general contractors, so the inspection is performed by someone who installs and repairs roofs daily and knows exactly what to look for on a Fontana roof.
What Roof Inspection Costs in Fontana
| Item | Typical range in Fontana |
|---|---|
| Standalone residential roof inspection | $145 – $490 |
| Repair from inspection findings (minor) | $250 – $520 |

How long does a roof inspection take in Fontana?
A typical Fontana roof inspection takes 45 to 90 minutes depending on roof size, pitch, and access. We document everything with photos and deliver the written report the same day or next morning.
Do I need a roof inspection before selling my Fontana home?
A documented roof inspection strengthens your position with buyers and catches issues before a home inspector flags them. In Fontana’s older 92335 homes especially, pre-listing inspections uncover skipped underlayment and membrane wear that could kill a sale at the last minute.
Brands We Service in Fontana
We service and install roofs from seven major manufacturers, so you get real choice. In Fontana we commonly recommend CertainTeed and Owens Corning for composition shingles, Atlas for value-tier options, and IKO for wind-resistant lines that hold up under Santa Ana conditions. We keep common parts and materials moving through local suppliers, which keeps turnaround tight. See our brands for the full lineup.

What Fontana Customers Say
"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."
— Veronica Torres"Went up in the attic first with a flashlight before going on the roof, which no other estimator bothered to do. Found the stain and worked backward from there."
— Vikram Gupta"Added a ridge vent and cleared the blocked soffit vents. Attic temperature in the summer dropped noticeably and the upstairs is livable now."
— Sarah Vaughn
