Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Pomona
Roof replacement in Pomona is a different job than it is ten miles west. The Santa Ana winds that funnel through the Pomona Valley hit roofs here at 40 – 70 mph, and homes built before 1960 usually sit on skip sheathing instead of solid decking. That combination means a Pomona roof has to be engineered for wind uplift and ember resistance, not just re-shingled. We scope every Pomona job with that in mind from the first walkthrough. Call (833) 589-7971 to schedule a roof inspection and get an honest condition report before you commit to anything.
Why Hollywood Roofing Co Is Pomona’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Our Pomona customers consistently mention two things: we showed up when we said we would, and the written quote matched the final invoice. That matters more here than in most markets because Pomona homes so often hide problems under the old roof that a less careful contractor would “discover” mid-job and bill for later. We don’t work that way. Every Pomona replacement starts with a standalone roof inspection from our Roof Replacement team, and any condition we expect to find, from cracked skip sheathing to re-flashed valleys, goes into the line-item quote before you sign anything.
We also know the local building stock well. We’ve worked on 1920s bungalows off Garey Avenue, post-war tract homes in 91766, and newer composition shingle roofs in the east-side subdivisions near Phillips Ranch. That familiarity means we can usually tell you what we’re likely to find before we tear off the first square, which keeps the job moving and keeps your cost predictable. Our crews are in Pomona every week, not driving in from an hour away when a windstorm hits.

Roof Installation in Pomona
Roof installation in Pomona typically costs between $9,500 and $22,000 depending on square footage, material grade, and whether the home needs solid decking added over old skip sheathing. A straight tear-off and re-shingle of a 1,200-square-foot ranch in 91767 usually lands in the $10,000 – $14,000 range with architectural shingles. A larger two-story home with steep pitches, new decking, and premium materials like CertainTeed or GAF can run $18,000 – $26,000. We write every quote as a fixed price with the allowances spelled out, so you know the ceiling before work starts.
New Decking Over Skip Sheathing
Most Pomona homes built before 1960 have skip sheathing, which means the roof deck is spaced 1×4 boards with gaps, not a solid plywood surface. Modern shingle manufacturers require a solid substrate for their wind warranties to apply, so we usually recommend adding OSB or plywood decking over the skip sheathing during any Pomona roof installation. This adds $3,500 – $6,000 on a typical 1,200-square-foot roof, but it’s the single biggest upgrade you can make for wind performance and leak resistance in this valley.
Ventilation Corrections
Pomona’s inland summers push attic temperatures past 150°F, which cooks underlayment and shortens shingle life noticeably. On nearly every older Pomona roof we open up, the ridge vent and soffit intake are either missing or unbalanced. We fix that as part of the install, adding baffles and balancing intake area to exhaust area. It’s a $400 – $900 line item that adds years to the new roof’s life.
Roof Replacement Contractor in Pomona
A roof replacement contractor in Pomona has to handle two realities that don’t show up on a standard bid sheet: wind uplift from the Santa Anas and the structural unknowns hiding under pre-1960 roofs. We’re that contractor. Our replacement projects in Pomona run from $12,000 for a straightforward bungalow re-roof with Tamko or IKO architectural shingles up to $28,000+ for a larger home requiring full solid decking, ice and water shield at all valleys and penetrations, and a premium material like Owens Corning Duration. The price is set in writing before we start, and any hidden condition triggers a change order you approve before we touch it.
Clay Tile Retrofit Work
Pomona has a significant stock of original clay tile roofs, especially in 91767 and the historic districts near Lincoln Park. When those tiles crack or slip after a Santa Ana event, many homeowners call a roofer who simply re-nails the loose tiles and leaves. We won’t do that. A proper clay tile retrofit on a Pomona home involves removing the tile, inspecting and usually replacing the aged underlayment beneath it, repairing the skip sheathing, and either re-setting the original tile or converting to a composite product rated for the same wind zone. That job runs $18,000 – $35,000 depending on tile condition and square footage, and it’s the only approach that keeps the roof watertight for more than a season.
New Construction Roofs
For the newer infill homes and east-side subdivisions in Pomona, we install full new construction roofing systems including synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield, and architectural shingles from Boral, GAF, or Owens Corning. These projects run $12,000 – $24,000 and include full code compliance with the City of Pomona’s current roofing and ventilation requirements. We pull permits and pass inspections on every job.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
We’re authorized installers across seven major roofing brands, which means we’re not steering you toward one manufacturer because we have to. For Pomona homes, we typically recommend GAF Timberline HDZ or CertainTeed Landmark for wind-rated architectural shingles, Owens Corning Duration for its SureNail strip and impact resistance, or Boral for homeowners who want a premium concrete or steel tile look. Every brand we carry is stocked through local Southern California suppliers, so Pomona jobs don’t sit waiting on material shipments. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll walk you through the real difference between each option.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Slipped or cracked original clay tile after Santa Ana wind events. The winds that come through the Pomona Valley hit 40 – 70 mph, and original tile on pre-1960 bungalows was never engineered for that. We see a wave of calls from 91767 and 91766 every time a strong Santa Ana blows through.
- Skip sheathing that can’t support a modern re-nail. The spaced 1×4 board decking under many Pomona roofs is cracked, split, or too brittle to hold new fasteners. Re-shingling over it without adding solid decking voids the shingle warranty and leaves the roof under-supported.
- Attic ventilation problems cooking the new roof from below. Inland Pomona summers push attic temperatures past 150°F. If the ridge vent and soffit intake aren’t balanced during replacement, the new shingles age twice as fast as they should.
- Brittle, failed underlayment hidden under old tile or shake. By the time a Pomona roof is ready for replacement, the original felt underlayment is often crumbling. We inspect it before quoting so the new roof doesn’t get installed over a waterproofing layer that’s already failed.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Pomona
In almost every case, yes. Tearing off the old roof is the only way to inspect the skip sheathing, underlayment, and flashing underneath, and Pomona homes hide too many structural surprises to skip that step. A layover re-roof over failing decking or brittle underlayment will fail within a few seasons and void your new shingle warranty. A full tear-off on a Pomona bungalow runs $12,000 – $20,000 depending on material, and it’s the only replacement method we’ll stand behind. Call (833) 589-7971 for an exact quote on your roof.
The original clay tile on 91767 homes was installed with mortar and fasteners designed for calm conditions, and a 50-mph Santa Ana gust can lift, crack, or throw tiles that were already loosening from decades of thermal cycling. The real problem is usually below the tile: the aged underlayment has gone brittle and the skip sheathing beneath it can’t hold new fasteners properly. We fix both, not just the loose tile. Book an inspection and we’ll show you what’s actually going on under the surface.
Before we tear off anything, our inspection includes checking the condition of visible framing, sheathing, and underlayment from the attic side where possible. If we still find damaged or undersized framing once the old roof is off, we stop, document it with photos, and present you a written change order with the exact scope and price. Nothing gets replaced without your signature. On Pomona homes, we typically budget 5 – 10% of the project cost as a contingency for framing repairs so the price doesn’t balloon without warning. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll explain how we quote this on your specific home.
A Pomona roof replacement should achieve at minimum a 110-mph wind rating, and we typically spec 130-mph-rated systems for homes where the Santa Anas channel hardest, particularly in 91767 and along the foothill corridors. That rating only counts if the shingles are installed on solid decking with the manufacturer’s specified nail pattern, starter strip, and ridge vent system. Re-shingling over old skip sheathing without adding decking invalidates any wind warranty the shingle carries. The upgrade to solid decking is the line item that makes the wind rating real.
Compare the decking line item first. If one quote includes adding solid decking over skip sheathing and the other doesn’t, they’re not bidding the same roof. Then compare underlayment, ice and water shield placement, ventilation corrections, and whether permits and inspections are included. A Pomona quote that’s $4,000 lower is usually missing one of those items, not giving you a better deal. We write ours line by line and we’ll walk you through any other quote you’re considering. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll help you compare apples to apples.
