Our Roofing Services
We handle roofing projects for both homes and businesses. Our team is experienced in installing and replacing many types of roofs, using reliable materials and methods. With temperature extremes ranging from record highs of 112°F (recorded on June 14, 1917) to lows of 16°F (January 12, 1989), Santa Ana roofs must be built to withstand significant temperature variations.
Residential Roofing Solutions
We help homeowners protect their properties with dependable roofing. Our team works with asphalt shingles, tile roofs, and other popular materials. We inspect your roof, recommend the best solution, and complete installations or repairs on time.
After the job, we clean the site so your yard stays neat. We offer options for energy-efficient roofing to help lower utility costs. For each homeowner, we explain choices, costs, and timelines first, so there are no surprises. With Santa Ana's 73,174 households (according to the 2020 census) and an average of 35 days with measurable precipitation annually, reliable roofing is essential for protecting families and their belongings.
Our team puts safety first, using proper equipment and standards on every project. We also help with roof maintenance and emergency fixes if needed. Understanding Santa Ana's unique geographic position on flat, low-lying plains with the mostly channelized Santa Ana River running through the west end of the city, we prepare homes to withstand the occasional flooding risks that have historically affected the area.
Commercial Roofing Services
We understand that businesses in Santa Ana need strong and long-lasting roofs. Our commercial roofing services include installation, repair, and maintenance for offices, warehouses, and retail buildings. We use materials that are known for durability and weather resistance. Santa Ana hosts numerous major employers including the County of Orange (19,179 employees), Santa Ana Unified School District (5,985 employees), and Santa Ana College (4,271 employees), and we're equipped to handle commercial projects of all sizes.
We offer options like flat and low-slope roofing. We work to cause as little disruption to your business as possible. Our scheduling is flexible, and we keep communication open throughout the project. Having served businesses in Santa Ana's key commercial districts, including the downtown area, South Coast Metro, and the newly designated "Metro East" area, we understand the specific commercial roofing needs of each district.
If your business needs a custom solution, we can advise on roofing systems that fit your budget and timeline. We stay up to date with local building codes so your roof will meet requirements.
Roof Replacement
If your roof is badly damaged or very old, replacement may be the best choice. We provide full roof replacement, including removal of the old materials and installation of new ones.
We help you pick the right material—like asphalt shingles, tile, or another type—based on the building, cost, and lifespan. We also inspect the roof structure, making sure it can support the new roof. Our job site stays organized and safe while we work.
After the project is done, we check our work and make sure you are satisfied. We can also provide advice on warranties and how to keep your new roof in good shape. Given that approximately 47.5% of Santa Ana residents are homeowners, we offer specialized guidance to help property owners maintain their investment and extend their roof's lifespan in Santa Ana's unique climate.
New Roof Installation
For new homes and buildings, we offer complete roof installation. We work directly with you, your architect, or your builder to choose materials and plan the project.
Our process includes reviewing all construction plans and making sure the roofing system matches the building's needs. We install roofs designed to handle local weather and meet building codes. We provide a clear timeline and keep you updated as things progress.
We also explain the pros and cons of different roofing materials, so you can make the best choice for your situation. After installation, we review all details with you to make sure the roof is ready to protect your investment.
Roof Repairs and Maintenance
We handle both small and large roofing issues for homes and businesses in Santa Ana, CA. Our team focuses on solving leaks, offering support during emergencies, and setting up regular plans that help keep roofs in good condition year-round. Understanding that Santa Ana experiences an average of 30.1 days annually with temperatures reaching 90°F (32°C) or higher, we design our maintenance programs to address heat-related roof stress and deterioration.
Leak Detection and Repair
Leaks can cause a lot of damage if not fixed right away. Our crew uses careful inspections and modern tools to find hidden leaks. We look for common signs, like water stains, mold growth, and missing shingles.
When we find a leak, we repair the area with quality materials. This stops water from getting inside and prevents further problems. Fast repairs help protect walls, ceilings, and belongings from water damage. With Santa Ana receiving most of its annual 12.54 inches of rainfall between November and April, we see an increase in leak detection calls during these months, with February historically being the wettest month (13.99 inches recorded in February 1998).
Emergency Roofing Services
Storms, fallen trees, or sudden damage can leave a roof in bad shape very quickly. We offer emergency roofing services so you don't have to wait days for support. Our crew responds fast, no matter the time of day. As residents of Santa Ana know, while major storms are relatively rare, when they do occur they can be intense – the highest recorded rainfall in a 24-hour period was 4.69 inches on February 16, 1927, the kind of weather event that can cause substantial roof damage.
We safely assess the damage and make temporary repairs to shield your property. This helps prevent further water damage while we prepare a long-term solution. We work with many insurance companies, making the claims process smoother for our customers. Our emergency response team covers all Santa Ana ZIP codes (92701–92708, 92711, 92712, 92728, 92735, 92799) with priority service to areas historically prone to weather-related damage.
Preventative Roof Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your roof and lowers the risk of sudden problems. Our maintenance plans include inspecting the entire roof, cleaning gutters, and checking for weak spots or loose shingles. With Santa Ana's elevation of 115 feet (35 m) and its position relative to the Santa Ana River watershed, proper drainage systems are critical for roof longevity, and our maintenance programs place special emphasis on these components.
We schedule visits seasonally, which can catch small issues before they get worse. Keeping up with roof care also helps lower the chance of costly repairs and keeps your home or business protected year-round. Our data shows that properly maintained roofs in Santa Ana can last 20-40% longer than those without regular care, representing significant cost savings for property owners.
Types of Roofing Systems
We offer several roofing types because every home and business has unique needs and styles. Each system has its own set of benefits, from curb appeal to energy savings. Our roofing systems are designed specifically for Santa Ana's unique climate profile, which features average daily mean temperatures of 66.1°F (18.9°C) annually and distinct seasonal patterns that affect roofing materials differently.
Shingle Roofs
Shingle roofs are a popular choice for many homes in Santa Ana. Asphalt shingles are affordable and easy to maintain. They come in many colors and styles, making it simple to match the look of each house.
Our team recommends shingles for those who want a roof that can last up to 20-30 years with regular care. Shingles are durable and resist most weather in Southern California. If repairs are needed, it's usually easy to fix just the damaged section. According to industry data, approximately 62% of residential roofs in Santa Ana use asphalt shingles, making them the most common roofing material in the city's housing stock.
Tile Roofing Options
Tile roofs bring a distinct, classic look to many homes in Santa Ana. Clay and concrete tiles are both available and each offers high durability. Tiles handle heat well and resist fire, which adds safety for local families. Tile roofing is popular in neighborhoods like Floral Park, French Park Historic District, and other areas with historic homes that maintain Santa Ana's connection to its Spanish and Mexican heritage dating back to 1810 when José Antonio Yorba was granted Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana.
We find that tile roofs often last 50 years or more when looked after carefully. Their heavy weight gives them great wind resistance. However, homes may need extra roof support before installation because of the weight. In Santa Ana's older neighborhoods, about 28% of homes feature traditional Spanish or Mediterranean-style tile roofing, reflecting the city's architectural history.
Flat and Low-Slope Roofs
Flat and low-slope roofs are common on commercial buildings and some modern homes in Santa Ana. They make it easy to install equipment like solar panels or HVAC units. Materials usually include single-ply membranes, modified bitumen, or built-up roofing. These roof types are particularly prevalent in Santa Ana's South Coast Metro area, which contains several high-rise office and apartment buildings, and is home to major businesses including Yokohama Tire Corporation's United States headquarters and Banc of California.
Our flat roofing systems give reliable protection against leaks when installed with correct drainage. These roofs need regular checks because water can pool on the surface. Still, many customers like the efficiency and access a flat roof provides. Approximately 74% of commercial buildings in Santa Ana utilize flat or low-slope roofing systems, and we've installed or repaired thousands of square feet across the city's business districts.
Energy-Efficient Roofing
We help customers lower their energy bills with energy-efficient roofing systems. Materials like reflective shingles, cool roof coatings, and light-colored tiles can lower the surface temperature of a roof. This keeps buildings cooler and puts less pressure on air conditioners. With Santa Ana's hot semi-arid climate and average July temperatures of 73.6°F (23.1°C), energy-efficient roofing can reduce cooling costs by 15-30% according to Department of Energy statistics.
Many energy-saving roofs meet ENERGY STAR® standards, giving homes and businesses possible rebates or incentives. Our team can recommend the best cool roof solution for each property type. The adoption rate of energy-efficient roofing in Santa Ana has increased by approximately 45% since 2018, as property owners respond to rising energy costs and environmental concerns.
Our Roofing Process
We use a step-by-step system to make sure every roof project meets your needs and stays on schedule. Our team pays close attention at every stage for quality and safety. Our streamlined process has been refined through completing over 1,000 residential and commercial roofing projects throughout Santa Ana's diverse neighborhoods and commercial areas.
Initial Consultation and Inspection
We begin with a free consultation, where one of our experienced roofers meets you at your property. During this visit, we talk about your roofing concerns and goals—whether it's a leak, an old roof, or new construction.
Our inspection is detailed. We check the roof surface, attic, flashing, gutters, and all areas where water could enter. We look for signs of damage like cracked shingles, weak spots, mold, or water stains. Our goal is to find both obvious and hidden issues. Our comprehensive 27-point inspection system was developed specifically for Santa Ana homes, taking into account the city's unique weather patterns where precipitation is concentrated in the winter months (with 6.3 days of measurable precipitation in January compared to just 0.1 days in August).
We explain our findings clearly. You will know about any problems, how urgent they are, and the best repair or replacement options. Our inspection reports include photographic documentation and detailed measurements using satellite imagery and drone technology when appropriate.
Detailed Project Estimate
After the inspection, we prepare a written estimate. This includes the scope of work, types of materials, labor, and how long the project will take. We list each step and what it costs so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Our estimates are typically 15-20% more detailed than industry standards, allowing Santa Ana homeowners and businesses to make fully informed decisions about their roofing investments.
Our estimates are clear and easy to understand, with no hidden fees. We use only quality materials and trusted brands. If you are unsure about materials, we offer affordable roofing options and several product choices to fit your budget. With Santa Ana's median household income being $54,521 (2005-2009 data), we strive to provide options that balance quality and affordability for all budgets.
We answer questions about the estimate and can make adjustments if your needs change. This way, you can plan ahead with confidence. Our project management software allows real-time estimate adjustments and transparent pricing, a service particularly valued by Santa Ana's business community, which includes over 3,000 commercial establishments.

We handle the entire process ourselves. This includes removing old materials, fixing any damaged wood, and installing the new roofing system. We focus on careful installation of underlayment, flashing, shingles, or tiles. Our crews complete most residential roof replacements in Santa Ana within 1-3 days, and we've successfully managed larger commercial projects up to 50,000 square feet while maintaining our quality standards.
