If the roof still has good years left, the report tells you.
Tile lift and relay, roof replacement and free written roof inspections across Rancho Cucamonga. The tracts here went up between 1990 and 2007. The tile is usually fine, but the underlayment, ridge caps and fasteners under it reach the end of their life at about the same time across a tract.
Deck, underlayment, then shingles or tile. The underlayment keeps the water out, and you can only check it from up on the roof.
What wears out first on a Rancho Cucamonga tile roof
The tile outlived the felt
Concrete tile lasts fifty years. The underlayment beneath it lasts twenty-five. On a 1990s tract home that clock has now run out, and the tile itself is usually still perfectly good.
The city has its own re-roof rules
Rancho Cucamonga requires high-wind installation on every roof: every tile head nailed, eave tiles clipped, rake tiles double-nailed, ridge and hip set in mastic. Many 1990s roofs were not built to it.
Foothill lots follow stricter rules
Homes bordering the San Bernardino National Forest fall under Chapter 7A wildland-urban interface rules, which change the assembly, the vents and the eaves.
Before the rain in Rancho Cucamonga
A high-wind city at the foot of the mountains, where wind and rain often arrive in the same season.
Built for wind, or not
The city requires high-wind tile installation on re-roofs. Many older roofs were not built to it, and wind-loosened tile is how winter water gets in.
Foothill homes
Homes along the foothills sit below the mountains, where heavy rain and runoff concentrate. Drainage around the house matters as much as the roof.
Same-age tracts
Neighborhoods from the 1990s are reaching the end of their underlayment together. If you are unsure of yours, check it before the wet months.
Before the first big storm: book the free roof check, or read our winter storm roof guide.

Recent MAMOS roofing work: shingle re-roofs, flat ADU roofs and tile.
We get on the roof, photograph what we find and write it up.

If your street went up in the 1990s, your roof is crossing the age several carriers use, checked from aerial imagery rather than an inspection. Once the permit is closed, you have dated papers to send your carrier.
the year the Inland Empire tract wave began. Those roofs are 25 to 36 years old today.
Roof questions in Rancho Cucamonga
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.
How do I know if I need a relay or a replacement?
We pull a tile and look underneath. If the tile is sound and there is enough of it, a relay keeps it and replaces the underlayment and fasteners. The report says which you need.
Find out whether you need a relay or a replacement.
A relay and a replacement are very different jobs. Lifting a tile tells you which one your house needs, and the visit is free.
