Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Crestline
Roof replacement in Crestline usually runs $12,000 to $28,000 for a typical mountain home, depending on the pitch, decking condition, and how much hidden flashing work turns up once the old roof comes off. We’ve worked on enough cabins along Lake Drive and the streets off Highway 138 to know that Crestline roofs don’t fail like valley roofs do. Snow loads, ice damming, and UV at 4,500 feet mean the right material choice and the right underlayment matter more than the shingle count. If you’re weighing a roof replacement in Crestline, call us at (833) 589-7971 and we’ll walk you through what your specific roof actually needs, including what we expect to find once the decking is open.
Why Hollywood Roofing Co Is Crestline’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We approach a Crestline roof the way the mountain demands: inspection first, then honest numbers, then work that holds up to snow. Roland Vega has built Hollywood Roofing Co around a simple idea: install from seven leading brands, GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, so the recommendation matches the house, not a supplier contract. That matters up here because what works on a flat ranch in San Bernardino won’t survive a Crestline winter on a steep-pitch gable.
Crestline homeowners regularly tell us the same thing: they’d rather know exactly what their roof needs than be sold shingles by the square. So we offer Roof Inspection as a standalone service. You get a condition report you can act on when you’re ready, not a disguised sales appointment. And because we handle the full lifecycle, inspection, repair, and replacement, the same crew that inspects your roof is the crew that rebuilds it. No handoff gaps, no finger-pointing.
Our local knowledge runs specific. We know which Crestline streets see the worst wind off the ridgelines and which older cabins near Lake Gregory were built with eave details that hold snowmelt against the decking. That’s the expertise that shows up in the quote, not just the marketing.

Roof Replacement Contractor in Crestline
A Roof Replacement Contractor in Crestline has to plan for three seasons at once: winter snow that sits, spring melt that re-freezes at the eaves, and summer UV that bakes the surface at altitude. The job itself is straightforward on paper, tear off to the decking, repair or replace what’s rotted, install new underlayment and flashing, then shingles. The reality on older Crestline homes is that what you see from the street tells you less than half of what the job will involve.
Costs here run higher than down the hill partly because of labor and access on steep pitches, but mostly because of what we find underneath. A typical tear-off on a 1970s Crestline cabin runs $14,000 to $26,000 once decking repair and flashing replacement are factored in. The shingle portion alone might be $8,000 to $14,000. We write allowances into the contract for decking and flashing so you’re never blindsided by a change order.
What Gets Replaced, Layer by Layer
Under the shingles on a Crestline roof you’ll typically find the original underlayment, decades of patch flashing around vents and old penetrations, and decking that’s been quietly absorbing ice dam melt. We don’t quote over unknowns. We open the roof, document what’s there, and price any added scope in writing before work continues.
Code Upgrades on Older Cabins
Once a roof is opened in Crestline, San Bernardino County code requirements can trigger updates to ventilation, ice and water shield depth, and sometimes nailing patterns. These aren’t optional add-ons; they’re what keeps the next winter’s snowmelt out of the same eave. We build those triggers into the initial scope so the number you approve is the number you get.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Crestline
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Crestline is the most common job we do, but it’s rarely as simple as swapping one shingle for another. At 4,500 feet, the same three-tab or architectural shingle that lasts 25 years in the valley ages faster here. UV burns the granule surface, freeze-thaw cycles crack the mat, and snowmelt against the eaves rot the first course from underneath. A full asphalt replacement on a typical Crestline cabin runs $12,000 to $22,000, with architectural shingles at the higher end and three-tab at the lower.
We install architectural shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, plus value tiers from Tamko and IKO when the budget calls for it. The material matters less than what’s underneath it. A roof that’s flashed and ventilated correctly will outlast a premium shingle laid over leaking eave details every time.
Why Decking Replacement Changes the Number
Before we lay a single shingle on a Crestline roof, we inspect every sheet of decking, especially at the eaves where ice damming has been working. If the decking is soft or delaminated, it gets replaced before the new roof goes down. That’s not scope creep. It’s the difference between a roof that lasts and one that starts leaking at the first big melt.
Steep Pitch and Winter Access
Older Crestline cabins tend toward steep gables, which means slower, safer tear-off work and sometimes added staging. Winter access adds time too, frozen ground, ladder placement on uneven lots, shorter daylight. We build that into the schedule and the quote so you’re not surprised when the job takes a day longer than a valley crew might estimate.
Trusted Brands We Service in Crestline
We’re authorized installers across seven major roofing brands, including GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Boral, which means we can match the material to your home and your budget instead of pushing whatever single brand a supplier happens to stock. If you want a premium CertainTeed architectural shingle rated for heavy snow, we can spec it. If you need a solid Tamko or IKO option to keep the cash outlay down, we can do that too. Seven leading brands. One honest recommendation. We keep our Crestline orders stocked locally with our suppliers, so the shingles you pick are the shingles that show up, no substitutions, no waiting on a container from out of state.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Crestline Homes
- Ice damming at the eaves. Snow melts off the warm upper roof, re-freezes at the cold eave, and sends meltwater backing up under the shingles. By the time you see a ceiling stain, the decking has usually been wet for a season or two.
- Piecemeal flashing around old penetrations. Decades of wood-stove vents, added plumbing stacks, and remodel flashings leak long before the shingles fail. A bid that only counts squares misses the real culprit on most Crestline cabins.
- UV and freeze-thaw shingle failure. High-altitude sun burns off granules, then freeze-thaw cycles crack the mat and lift edges. Older three-tab roofs here rarely last their rated lifespan.
- Soft decking hidden under old underlayment. Eave rot from ice damming doesn’t show up from the street. We find it once the shingles come off, and if it’s not replaced, the new roof fails at the same eave line.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Crestline, CA
A complete roof replacement in Crestline typically runs between $12,000 and $28,000. The spread comes down to roof size, pitch, decking condition, and what the permit triggers once walls are opened. Here’s how the line items usually break down:
- Tear-off and disposal: $3,000 to $6,000
- Decking repair or replacement: $1,500 to $5,000 (allowance written into contract)
- New flashing, vents, and ice and water shield: $1,200 to $4,000
- Architectural shingle installation (GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning): $6,000 to $13,000
The big variable on older Crestline homes isn’t the shingle, it’s the decking and flashing. We write those as allowances with unit pricing agreed in writing before work starts.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Crestline
The shingle bid only counts squares. On a typical Crestline cabin, we find decking rot at the eaves, decades of patch flashing around old penetrations, and underlayment that’s past its service life, none of which is visible until the roof is opened. That work is real scope, priced by the sheet and by the hour, and it’s usually 20% to 40% of the final number. We write allowances into the contract so you know the ceiling before we start, not after. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll walk your specific roof line by line.
We treat the eave as a separate waterproofing zone, not just the bottom edge of the shingle run. That means wider ice and water shield at the eave, proper ventilation to keep the roof deck cold enough that snow doesn’t melt and re-freeze, and full inspection of the decking underneath before we lay anything down. If the eave framing or fascia is rotted from prior damming, that gets replaced too, priced as an allowance, approved in writing before we proceed. A Crestline roof that’s flashed and ventilated right won’t dam the way the original one did.
We’re authorized installers for GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Crestline’s snow and altitude, we typically recommend architectural shingles from GAF or CertainTeed when budget allows, and Tamko or IKO when the project calls for a value tier. The brand matters, but it’s a smaller decision than the underlayment, flashing, and ventilation details, which is where most mountain roofs actually fail. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll give you our honest recommendation for your specific roof.
Put the two bids side by side and look for what’s not on the page, not what’s listed. Does the bid include decking replacement as a priced allowance, or does it say “decking as needed” with no dollar figure? Does it specify the ice and water shield depth at the eaves? Does it name the brand, shingle line, and underlayment type? A cheaper bid that’s missing those line items will cost more once the roof is open. We quote every scope item with a unit price, so you can compare line by line without guessing.
Yes, typically. San Bernardino County code enforcement for mountain roofs requires current ventilation standards, ice and water shield at the eaves, and sometimes upgraded nailing patterns once the roof is opened for a full replacement on an older cabin. These aren’t optional, and we don’t treat them as change orders. We build the permit-triggered upgrades into the initial scope so the bid you approve covers the roof the county will actually sign off on. Call (833) 589-7971 to schedule a free estimate and we’ll explain what your specific cabin will trigger.
