Shingle Roofs Built
to Last
Asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing choice in the Inland Empire — and for good reason. They're durable, cost-effective, available in a wide range of styles and colors, and when installed correctly, they hold up well in Southern California's heat and UV exposure.
The difference between a shingle roof that lasts 15 years and one that lasts 30 comes down to installation. Proper underlayment, correct ventilation, tight flashing, and a quality ridge cap aren't extras — they're the job done right. That's what we do on every install.
What's Included in a Shingle Installation
- Full tear-off of existing material
- Deck inspection and repair of damaged sheathing
- Ice and water shield in valleys and penetrations
- High-quality synthetic underlayment (Owens Corning ProArmor or equivalent)
- New drip edge and step flashing
- Architectural shingle installation — Owens Corning, GAF, or CertainTeed
- Ridge cap shingles — not rolled roofing
- Pipe boots, vent collars, and flashing properly sealed
- Permit and city inspection
- Cleanup and magnet sweep
Materials We Use
We work with Owens Corning, GAF, and CertainTeed — three of the most trusted names in roofing. We'll recommend the right product for your home's exposure, your budget, and the look you're going for. Architectural (dimensional) shingles are our standard recommendation — they perform better and look significantly better than 3-tab.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quality architectural shingles last 25–35 years in the IE climate with proper ventilation. UV exposure and heat accelerate aging, which is why ventilation and underlayment quality matter significantly out here.
Most residential shingle replacements take 1–2 days. Larger or more complex roofs may take 3. We give you a realistic timeline at the estimate — not a lowball number to win the job.
Technically yes, but we don't recommend it. A re-roof over existing shingles traps heat, adds weight, and prevents a proper deck inspection. A full tear-off is almost always the better investment.
In the IE heat, lighter colors (greys, tans, weathered wood tones) perform better thermally. We can show you samples and help you find something that looks great on your home's specific style and color scheme.
