If the roof still has good years left, the report tells you.
Roof replacement and free written roof inspections across Anaheim Hills. Construction began in 1971 and the median home dates from 1984. That puts the original underlayment on most streets past forty years, in a canyon that burned in 2008 and again in 2017.
Deck, underlayment, then shingles or tile. The underlayment keeps the water out, and you can only check it from up on the roof.
What forty-year-old planned-community roofs have in common
Original felt, forty years on
More than a third of the homes went up in the 1970s. The tile above them is fine. The underlayment, flashing and fasteners under it were specified for a twenty-five year life.
Two fires in ten years
The Freeway Complex Fire in 2008 and Canyon Fire 2 in 2017 both reached homes here. Carriers check the fire hazard zone before they look at the roof.
One association, many committees
Architectural oversight runs through the Anaheim Hills Planned Community Association and its sub-associations. Color and profile approvals come before the permit.
Before the rain in Anaheim Hills
Hillside homes, tile roofs and some of the strongest Santa Ana winds in Orange County.
Wind damage you cannot see
Santa Ana events through the canyon loosen ridge, hip and edge tiles. From the street the roof looks fine until the first big storm.
Tile over tired underlayment
Many hillside homes have original underlayment under tile that still looks good. That layer decides whether a long storm stays outside.
Runoff on the slopes
Hillside lots move a lot of water in a heavy storm. Gutters and downspouts that discharge toward the slope need attention now.
Before the first big storm: book the free roof check, or read our winter storm roof guide.

The FAIR Plan’s replacement-cost addendum treats a home built more than 25 years ago as not eligible unless the roof was updated in the last 25 years. A dated written report records the roof’s age and condition, with photographs.

Roof questions in Anaheim Hills
Repair or replace?
Usually the underlayment decides it, and you have to get on the roof to check that. The report gives you the answer, with photos.
What does a new roof change for my insurer?
Most letters name roof age. The permit and completion papers show the new roof’s date; what the carrier does with them is its decision.
Do I need association approval before the city permit?
In practice yes. The committee rules on color and profile and can take weeks, and a permit pulled first can be undone by a rejection. California law stops a board from prohibiting Class A products.
Get the underlayment checked before your renewal comes up.
The tracts here went up together, so the underlayment is failing together. A free inspection tells you where your own roof stands.
