Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Pomona
A full roof replacement in Pomona typically runs $11,000 to $22,000 for a standard single-story home, with architectural asphalt shingles landing between $13,500 and $19,000 on most jobs we bid. We’re in Pomona every week, and our crews know the difference between a 1920s Craftsman off Garey Avenue and a mid-century tract home in the 91767 ZIP. That matters more than most people think. If your roof is leaking, lifting, or just aging past its useful life, call us at (866) 650-8319 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why Gable Roof Repair Is Pomona’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Most Pomona homeowners who call us have already talked to at least one other roofer. What they tell us is the same thing over and over: the other company pushed a full replacement before anyone had even been on the roof. We do it differently. Our Roof Inspection service is a standalone job, and Neil Drummond, who leads our team, has built the company around a simple order of operations: inspection first, recommendation second. That means when we do recommend a replacement, it’s because the roof actually needs one, not because our sales targets do.
We’ve torn off and replaced roofs in Pomona’s historic districts, on tight lots near Cal Poly Pomona, and through neighborhoods where parking a full-size tear-off trailer requires real planning. The city’s mix of housing stock means we’re as comfortable pulling clay tile off a 1940s bungalow as we are stripping architectural shingles off a 1990s tract home in 91766. Homeowners appreciate that we don’t treat every roof like it’s the same job with a different address.
Working with seven shingle manufacturers, including GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, means we’re not tied to a single brand’s product line. If your existing roof is a specific manufacturer and you want to match it or upgrade within that system, we can do that. If you want a completely different material, we can quote that too. Seven brands, one standard of installation.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Replacement Contractor in Pomona
A roof replacement contractor in Pomona has to understand the city’s permitting process, not just how to nail shingles. We pull permits on every replacement and know which projects trigger additional review. The first sentence of our job starts before any material gets ordered: we assess decking condition, check for the original wood sheathing common on pre-1960s homes, and flag anything the city will want to see.
Full tear-off versus overlay
Pomona’s older homes often have multiple layers of roofing already up there, and code limits how many you can stack. We almost always recommend a full tear-off on pre-1980s houses so we can inspect and replace damaged decking. On newer builds where the existing sheathing is solid and there’s only one layer, a direct replacement is faster and cheaper.
New construction and additions
For ADUs, garage conversions, or new builds around Pomona, we coordinate with your contractor to sequence our work so we’re not holding up framing or drywall. Materials get ordered to match the spec sheet you and your designer settled on, and we take the roof from paper to final inspection without you having to manage another trade.
Most full replacements in Pomona fall between $11,000 and $22,000 depending on square footage, access, and what we find under the old roof. That’s an honest range, not a teaser number.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Pomona
Asphalt shingle roof replacement in Pomona is the most common job we do, and the price sits between $9,500 and $18,500 for most homes here depending on whether you choose three-tab, architectural, or premium lines. Pomona’s heat and wind cycles mean we recommend architectural shingles more often than not, especially on roofs with broad southern exposure or those facing the Santa Ana wind path off the Cajon Pass.
Architectural shingle advantages
Architectural shingles hold up better under Pomona’s thermal swings than three-tab. They’re thicker, carry higher wind ratings, and the look suits the Craftsman and bungalow styles common near downtown Pomona. We install with a six-nail pattern on slopes where uplift is a real concern, which is most of the east side.
Roof decking replacement
We don’t always need to replace decking, but on Pomona’s older homes we often find soft spots at valleys and eaves where underlayment failed years ago and water worked into the wood. We replace the bad sections, sleeve the seams with ice and water shield, and only then lay the new shingles. You won’t get a change order surprise from us after tear-off; we walk the deck with you before we start.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
We’re certified to install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning systems, along with IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Pomona homeowners, that means your replacement gets matched to the roof’s actual needs, not to whichever brand we happen to have the best margin on. We keep architectural shingle colors from each brand’s Pomona-popular palette in our regional inventory so lead times stay short when you’re ready to move, and manufacturer warranties remain intact because we install to each brand’s published spec, not generic roofing practice. Roof Replacement work from our team always carries the manufacturer’s material warranty terms along with our own workmanship standards.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Wind-lifted ridge caps and edge shingles. Santa Ana events funnel down the San Gabriel Valley and hit Pomona harder than coastal LA. We regularly see ridge caps missing entirely and edge shingles folded back on the east side of tract homes in 91766.
- Delaminated original wood sheathing. Pre-1960s bungalows near downtown Pomona often have their original plank sheathing. Decades of heat and dry air pull those boards apart at the joints, and a tear-off that assumed solid decking becomes a sheathing replacement job the moment the old roof comes off.
- Failed party-wall flashing on shared walls. On Pomona’s tight lots, a shared wall between two houses concentrates wind uplift right at the flashing line. We find cracked, separated, or completely absent flashing there more than anywhere else on the roof.
- Crumbling tile at valleys and penetrations. Older clay and concrete tile roofs in the 91767 and 91797 ZIPs slip and break at valleys, chimneys, and vent boots. On dense lots, simply getting a ladder and debris path to those areas can be harder than the repair itself.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Pomona, CA
A basic three-tab asphalt shingle replacement on a small Pomona bungalow starts around $9,500. Architectural shingles on a mid-size home run $13,500 to $19,000, and tile replacements or steep-slope work can push past $25,000 when access is constrained and the deck needs work. What moves the number isn’t mystery; it’s decking condition, the number of tear-off layers, roof height and pitch, and whether the city requires historic or overlay review before work starts. We give written line-item quotes so you can compare two bids apple-to-apple, not summary-to-summary. Call (866) 650-8319 for your free estimate; we’ll measure, inspect the deck, and tell you exactly what the roof needs and why.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Pomona
Yes, when the roof line or flashing at the shared wall is part of the job, we coordinate with your neighbor before we start, and if the city’s overlay review requires it, we’ll handle the formal party-wall notice. Pomona’s dense grid of zero-lot-line Craftsman homes means this comes up on a meaningful share of our jobs, and we’ve never had a job held up because we handled it early and in writing. Call (866) 650-8319 and we’ll walk you through what your specific property needs.
If your home sits in one of Pomona’s historic or overlay districts near the old downtown, it may need design review before we can change the visible roofing material, and that review can add two to six weeks to your timeline. We check the city’s current map and file the review documents as part of our permit package, so you’re not navigating that process alone. The earlier we know you’re in an overlay zone, the faster we can get your job scheduled, so mention the property address when you call (866) 650-8319.
A lot with no alley and no side yard changes staging, debris handling, and access to the roof all at once, and a responsible bid accounts for that with a line item rather than burying it in the total. On a recent narrow Craftsman lot off the downtown grid, our crew tore off two layers of aging asphalt over original wood sheathing and found rafters that had been quietly flexing under Santa Ana wind load for decades. We staged the tear-off in the driveway because there was no alley or side yard to work from, ran ice and water shield through the valleys, and reset the drip edge and fascia before laying GAF architectural shingles with a six-nail pattern for the wind rating. Because the neighbor’s wall sat inches from the property line, we hand-bagged debris each evening and kept the site clean enough that nobody had to call the city.
Pomona sits in the path of the Santa Ana winds where the San Gabriel Valley funnels dry, gusty air off the Cajon Pass, so roofers here spend far more time on wind-lifted shingles, ridge-cap loss, and tile slippage than on snow or freeze damage. The same roofs that look fine in calm summer months lose caps and edge shingles during the first solid wind event, especially on older east-side tract homes. We inspect for wind damage, including nail pull-through at the edges, and quote either repair or replacement based on what the roof actually needs. Call (866) 650-8319 to have us look before the next big blow.
Put the bids side by side and compare four line items: decking replacement cost per sheet, whether the bid includes historic or overlay review and permit fees, the shingle brand and exact product line, and how debris removal and staging are priced on a lot like yours. A bid that assumes sound decking on a pre-1960s Pomona home is a bid that will change once tear-off exposes soft boards, and a bid that doesn’t know about your shared wall is a bid from someone who hasn’t been on your street. We quote line items so you can do that comparison without calling anyone back. Call (866) 650-8319 for your free, written estimate.
