Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Pomona
Roof replacement in Pomona typically runs $9,500 to $18,000 for a standard asphalt shingle re-roof, with premium tile systems and homes needing decking upgrades landing between $22,000 and $40,000. Most of our Pomona jobs are completed in three to five working days once materials land, and we schedule the work around the valley’s weather windows so you’re not left exposed before the winter rains. If you’re in 91766, 91767, 91769, or 91797 and want a straight answer on what your roof needs, call (833) 467-4846. We look before we quote.
Why Tilecraft Roofing Is Pomona’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We’ve torn off enough roofs in Pomona to know what’s underneath before we even pull the first shingle. The bungalows near Lincoln Park and downtown carry a century of roofing history with them, and the tract homes east toward the 57 freeway have their own set of issues from the valley sun. Being able to read a roof before opening it up is why Pomona homeowners keep calling us back.
Ruben Castellano leads our crews, and he’s built Tilecraft around a simple rule: the roof tells you what it needs. We don’t show up with a pitch for the most expensive system on the truck. We inspect, we explain what we found, and we give you material options from seven major manufacturers. That means a homeowner in a 1920s Spanish Colonial off Garey Avenue gets a real conversation about salvaged clay tile, while a ranch home in 91767 gets an honest take on architectural shingles versus a full tile conversion.
Our Pomona customers value that we’re not replacement-hungry. When a repair will get a roof through another five seasons safely, we say so. When replacement is the right call, you’ll know why from the photos and measurements we show you. Repair when repair is right, replace when it’s not. That’s the whole approach.
Styles & brands we work with
Flat Roof Replacement in Pomona
Flat Roof Replacement in Pomona comes up most often on the low-slope porches, additions, and mid-century ranch homes scattered across the city’s eastern and southern neighborhoods, where shallow pitch and hot valley sun punish standard asphalt faster than any other roof type in the area. A flat roof replacement in Pomona generally runs $8,000 to $15,000 for a typical single-story porch or addition, depending on square footage, decking condition, and what’s hiding under the old layers. We handle the full job: tear-off of the existing membrane, inspection of the sheathing below, new underlayment and waterproofing, and a finished surface matched to the home’s existing profile. For older homes with multiple tear-off layers, we price the added labor of hauling and disposal so it’s in the quote from day one.
Torch-Down and Modified Bitumen Systems
For Pomona’s flat and low-slope sections, modified bitumen systems hold up well against the valley’s UV load when installed with proper overlap and sealant detailing at penetrations. We’ve seen the failure mode too many times: dried mastic around a vent or furnace stack that looks fine all summer and then leaks the first week of December. We replace every penetration boot and seal on flat sections we touch.
Decking Assessment Before the Membrane Goes Down
Every flat roof in an older Pomona home needs the decking checked before new material goes on. Low-slope sections trap moisture, and spaced boards or rotted plywood hidden under a failed membrane will compromise the new system within a few seasons. We open a test cut, show you what’s there, and price any decking replacement before we proceed.
Roof Installation in Pomona
Roof Installation in Pomona means more than nailing new material over old framing. On the pre-1960 homes around downtown and Lincoln Park, the deck itself often can’t hold modern fasteners, so the installation has to start at the structural layer. A new roof installation in Pomona runs $6 to $12 per square foot for architectural asphalt shingles, with tile and premium systems at $14 to $28 per square foot, depending on the pitch, the decking condition, and whether we’re matching an existing clay or concrete profile. That range includes tear-off, underlayment, flashing, and hauling.
New Sheathing on Older Framing
Many Pomona bungalows were framed with spaced skip-sheathing, not solid plywood. Modern shingle and tile systems need a solid nailing surface, so part of the installation is upgrading the deck to meet current code before the first course goes down. We write this into the quote when the original construction suggests it, and if we find more rot than expected once the old roof is off, it becomes a written change order you approve before we touch a single board.
Matching the Original Roof Profile
On Spanish Colonial and Craftsman homes, the roof profile is part of the home’s character. Boral clay tile lets us match salvaged profiles on street-facing slopes while upgrading the underlayment and flashing systems beneath. We work with homeowners to decide what gets salvaged, what gets restored, and what gets replaced so the finished roof looks like it belongs on the house, not like a generic re-cover.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
Seven leading brands, one crew. We install and service roofing from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, which means your Pomona home gets the right material for its roof, not whatever one brand happens to be pushing this quarter. GAF Timberline for longevity on a ranch home, CertainTeed for wind resistance in the Santa Ana corridors, Boral when the job calls for an authentic clay profile. We keep common flashings, underlayments, and repair stock on hand for Pomona jobs, so most material-related delays don’t apply. You want options, you’ll get them, along with an honest explanation of which product fits your budget and your block.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Sun-brittled mastic around older penetrations: Pomona Valley summers dry out sealants around vents, stacks, and skylights, and when the first December rain arrives, dozens of roofs in the older neighborhoods leak within the same week. We replace every penetration seal during a re-roof so the new roof doesn’t inherit the old failure points.
- Spaced skip-sheathing that won’t hold modern fasteners: Pre-1960 homes around downtown and Lincoln Park were often built with boards spaced an inch apart, and modern shingle systems need solid decking to anchor into. Skipping this upgrade leads to wind-lifted shingles during Santa Ana events.
- Multiple tear-off layers stacked over low-slope sections: The old porch roof on a Pomona bungalow might have three layers of roofing over it by now, each one trapping moisture and weight. Tear-off here takes longer, and we price the hauling and disposal honestly so the quote reflects reality.
- Failed valley and edge flashing: The afternoon UV that beats on Pomona roofs all summer dries out flashing seals, and valley leaks follow. When we replace a roof, we re-flash every valley, edge, and penetration, then check that soffit and fascia are still dry and tight before we call the job done.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Pomona
Because opening up a roof built before the 1960s usually turns up conditions the original bid couldn’t see: spaced skip-sheathing that needs a solid deck, rotted framing under multiple tear-off layers, or clay tile that can’t be properly matched without salvage work. We handle this by writing allowances into the original quote and pricing any discovered condition as a written change order you approve before work continues. Call (833) 467-4846 and we’ll walk through what your roof is likely to reveal before we even schedule the tear-off.
Yes. Through the Boral tile line and our relationships with salvage suppliers, we match the original tile profile on street-facing slopes so the home’s character stays intact. Where the original tile is too far gone to save, we’ll source the closest available profile, and we’ll show you samples before any material is ordered.
We treat it as a known condition, not a surprise. Many Pomona homes built before 1960 have skip-sheathing with gaps between boards, and modern roofing systems need solid decking under them. On a 1920s Spanish Colonial bungalow off Lincoln Park, our crew pulled three layers of historic roofing and found the original spaced board sheathing too far gone to re-nail, plus sun-dried flashing around a leaking rear valley. We added solid decking, fresh underlayment and ice and water shield, matched the salvaged clay profile on the street-facing slope, and replaced the dried mastic penetrations before the December storms hit. That work was priced and approved as a written change order before we started.
Months of valley UV and dry heat crack the mastic around vents, pipes, and valleys, and the first sustained winter rain finds every one of those failure points at once. Older bungalows around downtown and Lincoln Park are hit hardest because their flashing and sealant systems have the most years of sun exposure. When we replace a roof, we re-flash and re-seal every penetration so the new system doesn’t carry over the old one’s weak points.
Put the line items side by side and look for what each contractor actually included. Did they price decking replacement? Multiple tear-off layers? Hauling? Did they list underlayment and flashing, or just shingles and labor? A lower bid that skips sheathing upgrades on a skip-sheathing home will either stall when the crew opens the roof or leave you with wind-lifted shingles come Santa Ana season.
