Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Pomona
Roof replacement in Pomona typically runs $11,000 to $18,500 for a standard asphalt shingle re-roof on a mid-century tract home, with architectural shingles trending toward the upper end. For the century-old Craftsman and Spanish Colonial bungalows near downtown, expect $18,000 to $30,000 or more because original clay tile or wood shake over skip-sheathing complicates both removal and reinstallation. We get that a new roof is one of the biggest checks you’ll write for a Pomona home, and you want a team that actually knows this city’s housing stock, not a contractor who treats Pomona like every other suburb. Call (855) 382-1073 and we’ll tell you, honestly, whether your roof needs replacement or whether targeted repair will carry you another five years.

Why Barnwood Roofing Is Pomona’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We work in Pomona’s 91766 and 91767 ZIP codes constantly, and we’ve learned what those old bungalows hide. The confidence comes from doing this work without cutting corners that come back to bite you. Safety matters here: roofs over two stories or steep pitches carry real fall risk, and aging clay tile is dangerously brittle underfoot. We don’t ask homeowners to walk their own roofs, and our crews use proper tie-offs and ridge anchors on every Pomona job. That’s just how a roof replacement gets done right.
Ruben Calloway leads our crews, and he’s spent years on Pomona roofs specifically, learning how Santa Ana wind cycles and decades of UV stress affect underlayment on homes built before modern moisture barriers existed. Our approach in Pomona is straight: inspection first, recommendation second. If your roof has five years left, we’ll tell you that. If replacement is the right call, we’ll show you why with photos, measurements, and a written scope of work rather than a vague estimate.
We don’t lean on strong ratings or review counts we can’t verify. What we can tell you is this: Pomona homeowners keep calling because we show up when we say we will, we respect the age and character of these houses, and we present options across seven manufacturers so you decide what fits your budget. Not what’s sitting in a warehouse.
Styles & brands we work with






New Roof Installation in Pomona
New Roof Installation in Pomona most often means a full tear-off and replacement on a house where the existing roof has reached the end of its useful life, whether that’s a 30-year-old composition shingle roof on a tract home in the 91769 or 91797 areas or an original clay tile roof on a bungalow near Garey Avenue. We remove the old material down to the decking, inspect what’s underneath, correct any structural issues, and install a complete new system: underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and your chosen roofing material. For a typical Pomona home, a full new roof installation runs $12,000 to $22,000 depending on material and roof complexity, with architectural shingles adding roughly $1,500 to $3,000 over three-tab.
Full Tear-Off and Decking Inspection
This is where our Roof Replacement team differs from a crew that just re-nails shingles over existing layers. On older Pomona homes, the decking under the old roof is often skip-sheathing, spaced boards rather than solid plywood. We inspect every section before laying new underlayment, which matters because hidden rot on old Pomona roofs is far more common than most people expect, especially along eaves and around chimneys.
Materials Matched to Pomona’s Heat and Wind
We install asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, and flat roofing systems suited to Pomona’s summer heat and Santa Ana gusts. IKO and Atlas both make shingles with high wind ratings and UV-stabilized granule formulas that hold up better under months of intense Inland Empire sun. We’ll walk you through what each option costs and how it performs on your specific street, not just in a product brochure.
Reroofing in Pomona
Reroofing in Pomona is a different beast from new construction. Reroofing means replacing the existing roof system on a home that already has one, and in Pomona that frequently involves matching or preserving original materials on older homes, handling skip-sheathing repairs, and navigating the reality of brittle, decades-old clay tile. A reroof on a standard Pomona home with composition shingles typically runs $10,500 to $16,000. When we’re salvaging and re-laying original clay tile on a Spanish Colonial in 91766, that number climbs to $20,000 to $28,000 because of the labor and material handling involved.
Clay Tile and Wood Shake Salvage
On a 1920s Spanish Colonial bungalow near downtown Pomona (91766), our crew pulled original clay tile to find skip-sheathing with deteriorated felt and several cracked tiles that had been patched with asphalt mastic. We salvaged the reusable tile, installed new underlayment and ice and water shield in the valleys, replaced damaged sheathing, and re-laid the tile with new flashing, matching the original profile so the roof looked period-correct. That’s reroofing done right in Pomona: preserving what’s sound, replacing what isn’t.
Composition Shingle Re-Roofs on Mid-Century Homes
For Pomona’s mid-century tract homes in 91767 and 91769, reroofing usually means stripping worn three-tab shingle and replacing it with architectural shingle from Owens Corning or CertainTeed. We lay new synthetic underlayment, replace all flashing around pipes and valleys, and install ridge vent if the attic needs better airflow. These jobs move faster than clay tile projects, but we still pressure-test every detail before we call it finished.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
Barnwood Roofing works with seven major manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That breadth means we’re not married to any single brand’s color line or product limitations. For Pomona homes, we commonly recommend IKO for wind-rated architectural shingle on exposed ridges, Atlas for their UV-resistant granule technology on south-facing slopes, and Boral for lightweight concrete tile that mimics the look of original clay on historic bungalows without the same breakage issues. We carry samples and can order any of these brands quickly for Pomona jobs, so you’re not waiting weeks on a material shipment.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Original clay tile over skip-sheathing with failing felt. This is the signature Pomona problem on pre-1940 homes in 91766 and 91767. The tile looks intact from the ground, but the old felt underneath is crumbling, and the tile is so brittle that even a careful repair cracks pieces. Full replacement means salvaging what we can and replacing the rest while repairing the decking underneath.
- Santa Ana wind damage to aged tile and shake. Strong gusts lift edges, crack brittle tiles, and tear loose shake, exposing the underlayment beneath. The real trouble shows up months later when winter rain finds those openings. We see this pattern on exposed slopes along the San Gabriel foothills every season.
- Worn composition shingles and failed flashing on mid-century tract homes. Decades of UV exposure in Pomona’s hot, dry summers break down shingle adhesive and cause granular loss. Compromised flashing around vents and chimneys then lets water into fascia and soffit, often before the homeowner sees a single leak inside.
- Skip-sheathing complications on older roofs. Skip-sheathing, spaced boards instead of solid decking, doesn’t meet current code requirements for most new roofing materials. When we tear off an old roof in Pomona and find it, we need to install solid sheathing over the old boards before laying underlayment. That’s a cost most generic quotes won’t show you.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Pomona
We can salvage a meaningful portion of original tile on many Pomona bungalows, but the honest answer is that some breakage is inevitable. Clay tile baked for a century is brittle, and pulling it without cracking every piece isn’t realistic. What we do is carefully remove and stack salvageable tile, discard broken or previously patched pieces, and match the profile with new tile so the finished roof looks uniform. We’ll give you a written estimate of salvage percentage before we start. Call (855) 382-1073 and we’ll inspect your roof and tell you what’s actually salvageable.
When we pull a roof permit in Pomona, the city inspects for current code compliance, and on older homes that often means we need to add solid sheathing over skip-sheathing, upgrade attic ventilation, or increase insulation. We write those upgrades into the contract as allowances before work starts, so you’re not surprised by a change order. Every change is priced and approved by we in writing before we touch it. That’s the difference between a responsible Pomona roofer and a crew that hopes the inspector doesn’t look closely.
For Pomona’s climate, architectural asphalt shingles with high wind ratings from IKO or Owens Corning perform well on most homes. Boral lightweight concrete tile offers a good alternative for homeowners who want the look of original clay without the brittleness. On south-facing slopes, Atlas shingles with UV-stabilized granules help reduce heat degradation. The right material depends on your roof’s pitch, exposure, and the weight your structure can carry, which is exactly what we assess during inspection.
In roofing, a “square” is 100 square feet of roof surface. We measure every plane of your Pomona roof, calculate the total square footage, divide by 100, and that gives us the number of squares for your job. Roofs with steep pitches, multiple valleys, dormers, and chimneys measure differently than simple gable roofs, even with the same footprint. Our estimates always show the exact square count, so you can compare quotes line by line. Call (855) 382-1073 for a free measurement.
Yes, we match original clay tile and wood shake profiles on Pomona’s historic homes routinely. We source replacement tile from manufacturers including Boral and Tamko, and we match color, size, and profile to what’s on your roof now. For wood shake homes near Lincoln Park or the Pomona Arts Colony, we can often salvage and restore original shake or replace sections with new material that blends without looking like a patch. The goal is a roof that looks like it belongs on that house, not a modern product dropped on top of it.
If you’re in Pomona and you’re wondering whether it’s time for a roof replacement or whether repair makes more sense, call us at (855) 382-1073. We’ll inspect, we’ll measure, and we’ll give you a written quote that explains exactly what’s under your roof and what it’ll take to make it right. Free estimates, no pressure, just an honest read on what your Pomona roof actually needs.
