Roofers in Ontario, CA
Roof inspection in Ontario usually costs $195 to $425 for a full assessment with a written report, and a repair estimate is included at no extra charge. What makes Ontario different from other Inland Empire cities is the combination of 100°F summers, Santa Ana wind gusts through the Cajon Pass, and a housing stock built mostly between 1950 and 1985. We see original concrete tile that’s gone brittle from forty years of heat cycling, composition shingles that are curling at the edges, and roof-edge flashing that’s taken the brunt of every wind event. If you’re wondering whether your roof needs attention, call (855) 382-1073 and we’ll walk you through what to expect.
Why Ontario Homes Are Different
Ontario’s roofing market sits at the intersection of two forces that don’t exist in coastal LA or milder San Bernardino neighborhoods. The first is heat. Summer temperatures routinely pass 100°F, and the UV exposure in the warm inland valley bakes attic spaces and accelerates shingle aging faster than almost anywhere else in Southern California. The second is wind. Santa Ana events funnel through the Cajon Pass and create uplift pressure on roof edges and ridges, and flying debris fails the roof-edge flashing long before the field of the roof shows damage. A roofer working the older tract neighborhoods off Holt Blvd or Vineyard Ave has to think about both problems at once: heat-resistant materials and wind-uplift detailing that’s simply not an afterthought here the way it is closer to the coast.
Much of Ontario’s housing was built between the 1950s and 1980s as working-class tract homes. We regularly encounter original underlayments that have turned to powder, dry-rotted fascia boards, and concrete tile that’s become brittle from decades of heat cycling. The newer infill in the 91761 and 91764 ZIP codes presents a different profile: younger roofs that still need proper ventilation and flashing inspection, because the same Santa Ana winds don’t care how old the tile is. That spread of housing age is exactly why we lead with inspection first and recommendation second. A 1970s ranch home off Euclid Ave and a 2015 infill build in the south end of the city need very different things, and the only honest way to know is to get on the roof and look.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Ontario Services
Most Ontario homeowners call us for one of two reasons: something is leaking or visibly failing, or they suspect trouble and want a straight answer before anyone quotes them a replacement. Both paths start with an honest look at the actual roof.
Roof Repair in Ontario
Roof repair in Ontario is usually driven by one of three things: wind-damaged flashing at the eaves and ridges, brittle or cracked concrete tile, or old composition shingles that have started to lift and curl from decades of dry heat. We perform repairs as a core service, which means our incentive is to fix what’s actually failing, not to push a replacement that may not be necessary. If the roof has ten good years left, we’ll tell you that. What we won’t do is sell you a new roof because the repair invoice is smaller. For the full breakdown of what repair involves here, see Roof Repair in Ontario.
Roof Replacement in Ontario
When a roof has reached the end of its useful life, replacement in Ontario means choosing materials that can handle both the heat and the wind. We work with seven manufacturers, including GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, so the recommendation is driven by what fits your home’s orientation, your attic ventilation, and your budget, not by what’s sitting in a warehouse. A south-facing roof in the 91764 ZIP that gets full afternoon sun needs a different approach than a shaded roof in an older neighborhood off Mission Blvd. Read more about what replacement costs and involves at Roof Replacement in Ontario.

Roof Inspection in Ontario
Roof inspection in Ontario typically runs $195 to $425, and it’s the most useful first step when you’re not sure what’s going on up there. Most of the homes we inspect here were built between the 1950s and 1980s, which means original or second-generation roofs that have been through decades of inland heat and repeated Santa Ana wind cycles. An inspection answers the question homeowners actually have: is there a problem, how big is it, and what does it cost to fix. It’s a standalone service, not a sales funnel. You’ll get a written report whether or not you ever book work with us. You can learn more about how we approach it on our Roof Inspection page.
Roof Inspection Services
Signs you need it
You’ve noticed granules in the gutters, a water stain on the ceiling, or tiles that look shifted after a Santa Ana event, but you don’t know whether it’s cosmetic or structural.
What it costs in Ontario
A standard full-roof inspection in Ontario falls in the $195 to $425 range depending on roof size, pitch, and access.
How we do it
We walk the entire roof surface, inspect flashing, penetrations, and attic ventilation, then document every finding with photographs and a written summary of what needs attention now versus what can wait.
Hail Damage Roof
Signs you need it
After a hailstorm, you may see dents in soft metal vents or flashing, bruised shingles that feel spongy underfoot, or scattered granules collecting at downspouts even though the roof isn’t old.
What it costs in Ontario
A hail-specific damage assessment in Ontario is priced between $195 and $425, which includes photographic documentation you can use for an insurance claim.
How we do it
We inspect the roof surface for impact bruising, check soft metals and skylights for dents, and provide a report that separates storm-related damage from normal aging.
Roof Estimate
Signs you need it
You know the roof has issues and you want a line-item price before deciding whether to repair, replace, or hold off for another year or two.
What it costs in Ontario
Roof estimates in Ontario are free when they accompany an inspection; a standalone estimate without a full inspection typically runs $195 to $425.

We measure the roof, assess the condition of the decking and underlayment, and give you a written quote with material options across different price points so you can compare apples to apples.

Roof Inspection Companies
Signs you need it
You’ve had a contractor tell you the roof needs replacing but you want a second opinion from someone who isn’t trying to sell you a roof.
What it costs in Ontario
Independent roof inspection from a qualified company in Ontario costs $195 to $425, and it’s the cheapest insurance against buying a replacement you don’t need.

What Ontario Customers Say
"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."
— Danielle Delaney"Full replacement after the hail. They handled the insurance adjuster meeting, documented everything, and I did not have to argue with anybody. Crew was here three days and the yard was cleaner when they left than when they started."
— Todd Meyer"Tile roof, three cracked tiles and a slipped one. Matched the tile, no color mismatch, and it took him half a day."
— Hector Ramirez
