Roland Vega founded Hollywood Roofing Co to give Inland Empire homeowners something they rarely get: a straight answer about whether a roof needs a patch or a full replacement. We’ve spent years working on the mid-century homes that define Highland’s housing stock, and we know what these roofs look like once you lift the surface layer. Most of the time, the fix is smaller than the homeowner expects. Sometimes it isn’t. Either way, you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with before we start.
Why Hollywood Roofing Co Is Highland’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
Most roofing companies in the Inland Empire run on a one-brand model. The recommendation you get is the brand they happen to stock. We’re set up differently. Hollywood Roofing Co installs materials from seven major manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. When we recommend a repair strategy for a Highland home, it’s because that material matches the house, the exposure, and the budget. Not because it’s what’s sitting in our warehouse.
Highland homeowners call us for the full range of repair work: shingle replacement, leak repair, flashing repair, flat roof patches, vent boot replacement, and valley repair. If a roof inspection turns up something bigger, the same crew handles the replacement. You’re not bouncing between contractors, and nobody’s pointing fingers at a previous trade. Our Roof Repair team works from the first inspection to the final nail.
For homes in Highland, that continuity matters. These roofs have decades of history, and the person diagnosing the problem should be the person fixing it.
Styles & brands we work with






Emergency Roof Repair in Highland
Emergency Roof Repair in Highland usually means one of two things: a Santa Ana windstorm ripped shingles off the windward slope, or a leak opened up during the first real rain after a dry stretch. Either way, the priority is stopping water intrusion before it reaches the decking and framing. In Highland’s semi-arid climate, we don’t get many rain days. But when it rains, it tends to hit hard and fast, and a roof that’s been quietly failing all summer shows its problems in about twenty minutes.
Emergency roof repair in Highland typically runs $550 to $1,600 for a tarp, temporary seal, and follow-up patch. Most emergency calls are stabilized same day. The permanent fix is usually scheduled within a week. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll walk you through what we’re seeing so you can make a decision without pressure.
Storm Damage Response
Santa Ana winds are the biggest weather threat to Highland roofs. Gusts funnel down the Cajon Pass and hit the foothill neighborhoods hard. We regularly see lifted drip edge on east-facing slopes, debris driven under flashing, and shingles stripped clean off the decking. Our storm response covers the full repair scope: re-securing lifted sections, replacing torn flashing, and checking every penetration for signs of wind-driven water.
Leak Triage and Temporary Protection
When water is coming through the ceiling, the clock is running. We get a crew out, locate the entry point from inside the attic, and either patch the source or install a weatherproof tarp. From there, we document everything for insurance and give you a written repair plan with real numbers. No mystery estimates.
Flat Roof Repair in Highland
Flat Roof Repair in Highland is a specialty most roofing crews avoid, but it’s a large share of what we do here. The tract homes built in Highland from the 1950s through the 1970s frequently feature low-slope or flat roof sections, often over carports, patio covers, or the main living space. Those roofs are now sixty to seventy years old, and the asphalt-based systems installed back then are well past their intended lifespan.
Flat roof repair in Highland runs $650 to $2,800 depending on the membrane type and the extent of the subsurface damage. Small punctures and seam failures are straightforward. Bigger problems, like saturated insulation or rotted OSB sheathing, require opening the roof and replacing the affected section. That’s where the real cost difference lives, and we’ll show you exactly what we found with photos and measurements before we quote anything.
Seam and Flashing Failures
Flat roofs rarely fail across the whole surface. They fail at seams, drains, and transitions. On Highland homes, we commonly see open laps in older modified bitumen roofs, failed caulking around scupper drains, and cracked flashing where a flat section meets a sloped roof. These are targeted repairs. We can usually restore the watertight seal without replacing the entire membrane.
Ponding Water and Substrate Damage
Flat roofs in Highland don’t see much rain, but when it comes, drainage matters. Low spots that hold water accelerate membrane degradation and eventually rot the substrate. We inspect for deflection, probe the decking for softness, and replace damaged sections with new sheathing before re-covering. If your flat roof has standing water 48 hours after a storm, it’s worth a look before the next one.
Trusted Brands We Service in Highland
We work on all seven major roofing brands, but for Highland’s climate and housing stock, we find ourselves specifying CertainTeed and GAF most often for pitched roofs, and Tamko or Boral products when fire resistance is the deciding factor. CertainTeed’s architectural shingles hold up well to the thermal cycling you get when a Highland summer hits 100 degrees and the roof surface cracks 140. GAF’s Timberline line carries strong wind warranties, which matters on slopes that take direct Santa Ana gusts. We stock common repair materials locally, so we’re not waiting on a warehouse in Riverside when your roof is open.

AfterCommon Roof Repair Problems We See in Highland Homes
- Dried-out wood shake roofs in foothill neighborhoods. The original shake roofs along the base of the San Bernardino Mountains are now sixty-plus years old. They dry out, crack, and create hidden decking rot that only becomes visible when a repair lifts the surrounding shakes. Many insurers are now flagging these roofs, and repairs often trigger a fire-rated assembly requirement.
- Wind-driven debris under drip edge and into valleys. Santa Ana winds push leaves, twigs, and fine debris under lifted drip edge. During the first rain, water backs up under failed underlayment and finds its way in. The actual leak is often ten feet from where the water shows up inside.
- Ventilation failures on low-slope mid-century roofs. Many Highland homes built in the 1960s and 1970s lack adequate ridge vent or soffit intake. Heat and moisture build up in the attic, cooking shingles from underneath. We see premature granule loss and curling that has nothing to do with shingle quality and everything to do with airflow.
- Failed flashing around chimneys and penetrations. The temperature swings in Highland, from freezing overnight lows in winter to triple-digit summer heat, are brutal on sheet metal. Chimney flashing, vent boots, and valley metal expand and contract until seams open up. These are the most common leak sources on homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s.

FAQs About Roof Repair in Highland
It depends on what we find when we lift the surrounding shakes. If the shake is dry but structurally sound and the decking underneath is intact, a targeted repair is possible. But in Highland’s foothill neighborhoods, most original wood shake roofs are beyond patchwork. They’ve dried out from decades of UV exposure, the decking is often rotted in multiple places, and insurers and fire officials increasingly require a fire-rated assembly that a partial repair won’t satisfy. We’ll give you an honest condition report and a number for both paths. Call (833) 589-7971 to schedule an inspection.
Any repair that involves structural decking replacement, changes to the roof assembly, or replacement of more than a certain percentage of the roof surface will typically require a permit in Highland. Once the permit is pulled, the city applies current building codes, which can trigger requirements like upgraded underlayment, additional ventilation, or fire-resistant materials in wildfire-prone zones. We handle the permit paperwork and coordinate inspections. You’ll know the full scope and cost before work starts.
We inspect first, then open carefully, then document everything with photos. If we find rotted decking, failed underlayment, or issues like outdated wiring running through the attic, we stop work at that point and bring you a written change order with a specific price. Nothing gets approved, and nothing gets nailed, until you sign off. On a 1962 tract home near the base of the mountains in Highland, our crew opened up a soft spot over the living room and found three layers of failed underlayment, charred skip sheathing from an old chimney flash, and knob-and-tube wiring running through the attic space. We replaced the decking, installed ice and water shield in the valleys, upgraded the flashing around the penetrations, and wrote a change order for the electrician. All approved in writing before we nailed a single architectural shingle.
Yes. Flat roof repair is a significant part of our work in Highland, where many homes from the 1950s through the 1970s were built with low-slope or flat sections. We repair seams, flashing, drains, and punctures, and we replace damaged membrane and substrate when needed. If you’re not sure whether your flat roof needs a patch or a full recover, we’ll tell you what we see and what it costs either way. Call (833) 589-7971 for a free estimate.
Highland’s semi-arid climate, with hot summers, mild winters, and frequent Santa Ana winds, accelerates roof aging through thermal cycling and UV degradation. That’s why Highland roofs show granule loss, cracking, and flashing failure earlier than comparable roofs in coastal cities. The dry season also means small gaps stay dry for months, so homeowners don’t notice a problem until the first big rain. By then, the damage underneath can be extensive. We recommend catching these issues in inspection before they become emergency repairs.
If you’re dealing with a leak, storm damage, or a roof that’s simply nearing the end of its service life, call Hollywood Roofing Co at (833) 589-7971. Roland Vega and the crew will give you a straight answer, a written estimate, and a repair plan that makes sense for your Highland home. Free estimates, no pressure, no mystery numbers.
