Roofers in Pomona, CA
Roof work in Pomona comes down to two forces: a relentless inland sun that bakes shingles and tiles all summer, and Santa Ana winds that funnel straight down from the San Gabriels and test every edge, valley, and hip on your roof. We start most jobs with a Roof Inspection because the houses here, especially the Craftsman bungalows and mid-century tract homes, hide problems behind layers of old roofing that a quick look from the street won’t catch. Windmill Roof Repair has served Pomona since 2018, and we work across seven shingle brands so the fix matches the house, not the inventory on our truck. Call (866) 850-2496 when you want an honest read on what your roof actually needs.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, which means the weather arrives with intent. Summer UV here is unrelenting, and asphalt shingles in the 91766 and 91767 ZIP codes curl and lose granules faster than the same shingle would in Claremont or La Verne, where the heat gets moderated by the hills. Then the Santa Anas come through in the fall and lift edges, tear at valleys, and drive rain sideways into places it shouldn’t go. A roof that survives the sun still has to survive the wind, and vice versa. Tile roofs on the east side near 91768 crack and slip under that combination; shingle roofs on the north side lift at the eaves.
The housing stock adds another layer. Downtown and the older neighborhoods around Lincoln Park and Ganesha Hills are full of early 20th-century California bungalows and Craftsman homes, many of which still have original wood-shake or low-slope roofs that have been patched over two or three times. Tear-offs on these houses routinely reveal skip sheathing, dry-rotted fascia, and decking that needs more than a fresh layer of felt. The mid-century tracts further east and south, like the ones in Westmont and Phillips Ranch, run mostly concrete tile and older three-tab asphalt shingles that are hitting the end of their usable life about now. Pomona doesn’t have the HOA strictness of some newer Inland Empire cities, but the city does enforce California Building Code on re-roofs, and most of the older homes need a permit pulled for full replacement work rather than a simple overlay.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Pomona Services
Most Pomona homeowners call us for one of two reasons: something is leaking or visibly failing, or the roof is old enough that they want a straight answer on whether to repair or replace. Here’s how each plays out in this city.
Roof Repair in Pomona
A Pomona repair usually starts with a leak near a valley, a plumbing boot, or an edge that the wind has been working on. On the bungalows near downtown, we often find the real issue is a failed patch from years ago, or flashing that was never done right in the first place. On the tile roofs east of the 71, cracked and slipped tiles from wind events are the most common call. We match the repair to the existing material where possible, and we always check that the repair will hold through the next Santa Ana, not just the next rain. See our full scope at Roof Repair in Pomona.
Roof Replacement in Pomona
Replacement in Pomona often means a full tear-off down to the decking, because so many of these roofs have multiple layers that the city won’t allow to be re-covered. On the Craftsman homes, that tear-off frequently uncovers decking and framing work the homeowner wasn’t expecting, and we handle that as part of the same job rather than walking away. You get a real choice of materials, from GAF and CertainTeed architectural shingles to Boral tile on the mid-century homes that were built for it. See Roof Replacement in Pomona for the full picture.

Roof Inspection in Pomona
A Roof Inspection in Pomona is the only way to know whether the sun and wind have done real damage, or whether the roof still has years left in it. On the pre-war bungalows around 91766, we’re looking for the layered-patch problem: old wood shake buried under asphalt shingles, decking that flexes, and dry rot hiding behind fascia that looks fine from the ground. On mid-century homes further east, the inspection is more about tile cracks, granule loss, and whether the underlayment under that concrete tile is still doing its job. We do inspections as a standalone service, not as a sales appointment in disguise. If the roof is sound, we’ll tell you that and leave it alone.
Roof Inspection Services
Signs you need it
You’ve spotted granules in the gutters, a water stain on a ceiling, curling shingle edges, or you’re buying or selling a Pomona home and need a written condition report.
What it costs in Pomona
A standard residential roof inspection in Pomona generally runs between $150 and $400, depending on roof size, slope, and how many layers we need to assess.
How we do it
We walk the roof where safe, check flashing, valleys, penetrations, and decking from the attic side, then document everything with photos so you can see the condition without standing on a ladder.
Free Roof Inspection

You suspect storm or wind damage after a Santa Ana event, or a leak just appeared and you want to know how urgent the fix is before committing to any paid work.
What it costs in Pomona
Free roof inspections in Pomona are available on a case-by-case basis, typically when tied to repair or replacement work we are already estimating, rather than as a standalone deliverable.

We do a focused visual check of the suspect area, identify the likely cause, and give you a written quote for any repair, with no obligation to move forward.

Brands We Service in Pomona
We work with seven shingle brands, and we stock common parts locally for GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Boral so repairs don’t stall waiting on a special order.

We quote upfront and we hold to that number unless you approve a change in writing after we open the roof and show you what’s underneath.

What Pomona Customers Say
"Added a ridge vent and cleared the blocked soffit vents. Attic temperature in the summer dropped noticeably and the upstairs is livable now."
— Dale Parker"Leak over the kitchen turned out to be a cracked boot around a vent pipe, not the roof itself. He showed me the photo from up there and replaced the boot for a couple hundred dollars. The company before him had quoted a full tear off."
— Ryan Miller"He told me my roof had another five or six years in it and I should not replace it yet. He was standing there with a quote pad in his hand. That's why I'll call him when it's time."
— Miguel Torres
