Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Upland
Roof replacement in Upland usually runs between $11,000 and $28,000 for a standard single-family home, with architectural shingles landing between $14,000 and $22,000 on most mid-century tracts. The job typically takes 3 to 6 days once materials arrive, and a full tear-off with new underlayment, drip edge, and ridge vent is the only way to actually fix what Upland’s sun and Santa Ana winds have been working at for two decades. We’re Hollywood Roofing Co, led by Roland Vega, and we’ve spent years on roofs across the 91784, 91785, and 91786 zip codes. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll give you a written line-item estimate, no push, just numbers.
Why Hollywood Roofing Co Is Upland’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Upland homeowners call us because we show up with actual options. We install seven leading material brands, which means we’re not trying to sell you what a single supplier pushed on us this quarter. GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, Boulder: one of these fits your roof and your budget, and we’ll tell you honestly which one that is. Our Roof Replacement team has torn off everything from original 1950s wood shake south of Foothill Blvd to cracked concrete tile on the northern hillside, and we’ve learned that Upland is really two roofing markets wearing the same city name.
We also offer roof inspection as its own standalone service. Not a sales appointment disguised as a freebie. You get an honest condition report and a prioritized list of what your roof actually needs, whether that’s a patch, a re-deck, or the whole thing. Roland Vega insists on this because a homeowner who understands their roof makes a better decision, and we’d rather earn the replacement than pressure you into it. From the first inspection to the final nail, one company handles the whole lifecycle. That continuity matters when the same crew who found your soft decking is the crew replacing it.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Upland
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Upland is the most common job we do, and for good reason: the 1950s-70s tract homes in 91786 and the lower stretches of 91784 were built for composition shingle roofs that have now outlived their design life two or three times over. Most we tear off are 20-year shingles that have baked through 25 Upland summers. The job starts with a full tear-off to the deck, inspection of the sheathing, new synthetic underlayment, new drip edge and flashing at every penetration, then a shingle matched to the home’s wind and fire exposure. Upland homeowners on flatland tracts south of Foothill typically need this replacement every 20-25 years when the shingles are granular, curling at the edges, or cracking through the mat.
What A Tear-Off On An Older Upland Tract Actually Exposes
We open up a 1960s roof and usually find two things: soft decking at the valleys and old nailed-over underlayment from patch jobs decades past. That’s not a ripoff discovery, it’s just what happens when roofing details fail quietly for years. We price replacement sheathing and new ice and water shield in writing before the crew keeps stripping, so you approve each surprise line item instead of getting a vague talk about “unforeseen conditions” at the end.
Shingle Selection Across Upland’s Two Roof Climates
A flatland home in 91786 with low pitch can run a quality mid-range architectural shingle like CertainTeed Landmark or Owens Corning Duration and get 25-30 years from it. The same product on a ridgeline home in 91784 near the San Gabriels may need upgraded nailing patterns and a Class A fire-rated assembly under it. We stock Upland-specific orders for both scenarios, so you’re not waiting on a warehouse in Fontana when your tear-off date hits.
New Roof Installation in Upland
New Roof Installation in Upland covers two very different situations: a re-roof on a home that already has a roof but needs a full replacement, and a true new construction roof on a build or addition. Most Upland calls are the first kind, which is really a full replacement done as if it were new: tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, flashing, shingle or tile, ventilation. The second kind, new construction, happens more on the 91784 hillside where custom builds and lot splits are still active. New construction roofing gives us the chance to get the whole assembly right from the first layer, which is a lot easier than correcting what a 1982 developer spec cut corners on.
Full Tear-Off And Re-Deck
When we strip an original wood shake roof in 91786, the deck underneath is often 1×6 skip sheathing, not plywood, which means a re-deck is required before any new shingle goes down. That’s not optional. You can’t nail modern architectural shingle to skip boards. Expect $3 to $5 per square foot for sheathing replacement on top of the base replacement price, and we’ll give you the exact number after the first few squares are opened and inspected.
Roof Ventilation And Ridge Systems In Upland Heat
Upland summers run attic temperatures past 140 degrees on a bad August afternoon. A new roof without proper ridge and eave ventilation cooks the new shingle from underneath and voids the manufacturer warranty before its 10th year. We install continuous ridge vent with balanced intake on every replacement where the existing home doesn’t have it. On older tracts where the original builder skipped soffit vents, we add them. It’s a small line item that saves the whole investment.
Trusted Brands We Service in Upland
We’re authorized installers for seven major brands, so the material conversation in Upland doesn’t start with “this is what we carry.” It starts with what your specific roof faces. GAF Timberline is the workhorse on most 91786 re-roofs. CertainTeed Landmark goes on homes where we want a heavier granule load for UV resistance. Owens Corning Duration works well on steeper foothill pitches. We keep local stock for Upland jobs when order lead times allow, and we’ve got enough brand depth to offer premium and value options without changing the quality of the install crew. Seven leading brands, one honest recommendation, matched to your home.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Upland Homes
- Layered-over roofs hiding damage underneath. Some Upland homeowners got a second layer of shingle nailed over the first to save money, which means the decking and original underlayment underneath were never inspected. Once we tear that apart, rot and water damage surface, and the scope grows on the spot. We handle this with written allowances in the original contract so the price doesn’t ambush you.
- Santa Ana wind damage proving a bad nailing pattern was to blame. A shingle’s wind rating means nothing if it was nailed high and overdriven. Foothill homes in 91784 see repeated edge lift and lost ridge caps after every big wind event. We re-nail to spec with the right pattern for the roof’s exposure, which is the difference between a 130-mph rated product and a roof that actually survives 130 mph.
- Wood shake tear-offs on mid-century 91786 homes revealing skip sheathing. The original shake was installed over boards with gaps, not solid plywood. Modern shingle needs a solid deck. Homeowners who didn’t budget for re-decking get a surprise square-footage add. We write that allowance into the contract before we tear off the first shake.
- Failed flashing at valleys and pipe penetrations on budget re-roofs. The first winter rain after a cheap replacement shows exactly where corners were cut at the flashings. A new roof leaking at the valleys months after install means someone reused old flashing or skipped the underlayment. We replace every flashing and penetration detail at tear-off, no exceptions.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Upland, CA
Plan on $11,000 to $28,000 for a full replacement in Upland, with the spread driven by square footage, pitch, material grade, and whether the home sits in the foothill fire zone. Asphalt shingle on a standard 91786 tract home runs $14,000 to $22,000 installed. Re-decking adds $3 to $5 per square foot when the tear-off exposes bad plywood or skip sheathing. Tile replacement on a 91784 hillside home runs higher, typically $22,000 to $35,000 plus any underlayment or batten corrections. We’ll write you a line-item quote for your actual roof, with allowances for the unknowns Upland’s older homes hide. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll put numbers on paper for you.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Upland
Because homes north of Foothill Boulevard sit in high fire-severity zones, which often triggers Class A assembly requirements, ember-resistant venting, and stricter nailing patterns that flatland Upland homes don’t face. A 91784 tear-off might also reveal concrete tile over a failing batten system, which adds labor. A 91786 tract re-roof is typically a straightforward strip to deck, re-sheet where needed, new shingle, done. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll tell you which scope your address falls into.
Skip sheathing boards with gaps, soft decking around valleys and eaves, and felt underlayment that’s been doing nothing for decades. The deck usually needs to be sheeted over or replaced before any modern shingle goes on, which is a legitimate cost most homeowners don’t anticipate. We write that re-deck allowance into the contract before we strip the first shake, so the number moves when we can show you the bad deck, not after the check is being written.
One square is 100 square feet of roof surface. Roofers bid by the square. To compare two Upland bids fairly, make sure both list the same underlayment type, the same flashing scope, the same ventilation work, and the same deck replacement allowance. A lower bid that omits re-decking or sets the underlayment to 15-pound felt instead of synthetic isn’t cheaper; it’s just quietly smaller. We write line items for every layer so you can hold two bids side by side and actually read them.
Sometimes, yes, and the split is geographic. Flatland 91786 homes rarely trigger anything beyond the standard re-roof permit and nailing schedule. Foothill 91784 homes in the fire zone can trigger Class A assembly requirements, ember-resistant venting, and sometimes strapping corrections on older framing. We pull the permit ourselves and line-item every code upgrade Upland inspectors will require before we start, so nothing is discovered later that should have been priced on day one.
Santa Ana winds funnel down from the San Gabriels and hit the 91784 foothill edge first, lifting edges and creasing ridge caps on roofs nailed to minimum spec. Your shingle choice matters less than the nailing pattern, starter strip, and drip edge under it. A Class 3 or Class 4 impact-rated architectural shingle with proper nailing is worth the upgrade on exposed ridgeline homes. The flatlands deal less with wind peel and more with UV degradation. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll specify what your particular exposure needs.
Most single-family Upland homes are torn off and re-roofed in 3 to 6 working days. Larger foothill homes with tile or steep pitches run longer. Permit approval in Upland typically adds a few days to a week before we can start. We’ll give you a start date and a completion window in writing before the first truck arrives.
