Our Roofing Services in Fullerton, CA
Roof Replacement and Re-Decking
Replacing a roof on a house built before 1945 is two jobs sold as one: the covering you picked, and the deck underneath that nobody has looked at since the last tear-off. We price those two things separately, in writing, before anything comes off.
Roof Leak Repair
On a house with 1x board decking, the stain on your ceiling is almost never under the hole. Water lands on a board, runs along the grain until something stops it, and drips twelve feet from where it got in.
Storm Damage Roof Restoration
Old roofs in north Orange County rarely fail during the first hour of a storm. They fail on day three of an atmospheric river, when the underlayment has been saturated for seventy hours, every lap is holding water, and there is nowhere left for it to go.
Hail Damage Roof Assessment
Hail happens here, and it is small and infrequent. Which is why most of what gets called hail damage on a sixty-year-old Fullerton roof turns out to be something else entirely, and telling the difference before anyone files a claim saves people real money and real trouble.
Wind Damage and Ridge Tile Repair
Santa Ana winds arrive from the northeast, down through Carbon Canyon and the Chino Hills gap. Every roof in north Orange County was detailed for the ordinary onshore breeze, which comes from the opposite direction.
Pre-Purchase Roof Inspections
A lot of pre-war houses trade hands in this part of Orange County, and the roof is the line item everyone guesses at. An inspection worth its fee has to date the assembly and count what is on it, not describe the view from the driveway.
Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Composition shingle is the cheapest way to make an old Fullerton house look wrong. It is also, specified properly, the most sensible roof many of these houses will ever have.
Metal Roofing and Copper Details
Metal belongs on these houses, just usually not where the brochure puts it. A broad standing-seam field on a 1920s bungalow reads as an agricultural building.
Tile Roofing and Profile Matching
The hardest part of tile work on a period house is not the roof. It is finding fourteen tiles that match a profile the factory stopped extruding in 1954, and deciding what to do when you cannot.
Flat and Low-Slope Roofing
Almost every period house here has grown a flat roof at some point. A porch got enclosed in 1958, a back bedroom went on in 1963, a carport became a laundry room.
Roof Coatings and Sealing
A coating is the cheapest good decision or the most expensive bad one on your list, and which it is depends on a single question: is the roof underneath it sound. Coatings extend a working roof.
Roof and Attic Ventilation
The standard ventilation answer is a continuous ridge vent with continuous soffit intake. Most period houses in this part of Orange County have no soffit at all, so half of that recipe does not exist.
Skylights and Daylight Devices
Original houses here were not built with skylights and the framing shows it. Before anyone talks about glass, we go into the attic and work out whether a skylight is a morning's work or a framing project, because on these roofs it is usually the second one.
Gutters and Downspouts
A lot of houses on these streets were built without gutters on purpose, and a few of them still do not need any. That is not a sales-friendly opening, but it is the truth and it saves people money often enough to be worth saying first.
Fascia, Soffit and Rafter Tails
On most modern houses this is a wrap-and-vent job. On the houses here it is carpentry, because the eave is a designed architectural feature with shaped rafter tails hanging out in the open where everyone can see them.
Chimney Flashing and Cricket Work
Chimneys cause more leaks on period houses than any other detail, and on a good number of them the right recommendation is not to reflash the chimney. It is to take it down.
Emergency Tarping and Dry-In
The instinct in an emergency is to get a tarp on the roof. On a tile roof that instinct will cost you more than the leak, because you cannot drag a tarp across two-piece barrel tile without breaking a great deal of it.
Commercial Roofing
Downtown Fullerton and the older commercial strips along Harbor and Commonwealth are largely 1920s and 1930s masonry buildings with brick parapets and low-slope roofs behind them. On those buildings the membrane is rarely the problem.
Insurance Claim Help
Filing a claim on an old roof is not free, and that is the part nobody explains. Sometimes the right advice we can give you is to pay for the repair yourself and leave the policy alone.

Roof Replacement and Re-Decking
Replacing a roof on a house built before 1945 is two jobs sold as one: the covering you picked, and the deck underneath that nobody has looked at since the last tear-off. We price those two things separately, in writing, before anything comes off. Houses from the citrus and oil-boom decades here sit on spaced 1x6 skip sheathing or straight 1x8 shiplap, not plywood.

Roof Leak Repair
On a house with 1x board decking, the stain on your ceiling is almost never under the hole. Water lands on a board, runs along the grain until something stops it, and drips twelve feet from where it got in. Chasing the stain wastes your money.

Storm Damage Roof Restoration
Old roofs in north Orange County rarely fail during the first hour of a storm. They fail on day three of an atmospheric river, when the underlayment has been saturated for seventy hours, every lap is holding water, and there is nowhere left for it to go. That timing matters because it changes what the damage looks like and who pays for it.

Hail Damage Roof Assessment
Hail happens here, and it is small and infrequent. Which is why most of what gets called hail damage on a sixty-year-old Fullerton roof turns out to be something else entirely, and telling the difference before anyone files a claim saves people real money and real trouble. On concrete and clay tile, four things imitate hail.

Wind Damage and Ridge Tile Repair
Santa Ana winds arrive from the northeast, down through Carbon Canyon and the Chino Hills gap. Every roof in north Orange County was detailed for the ordinary onshore breeze, which comes from the opposite direction. That reversal is the whole problem.

Pre-Purchase Roof Inspections
A lot of pre-war houses trade hands in this part of Orange County, and the roof is the line item everyone guesses at. An inspection worth its fee has to date the assembly and count what is on it, not describe the view from the driveway. We start with the layer count, because it decides everything downstream of it.

Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Composition shingle is the cheapest way to make an old Fullerton house look wrong. It is also, specified properly, the most sensible roof many of these houses will ever have. The difference is entirely in which shingle and what goes under it.
- asphalt shingle roof

- laminate shingles
- shake profile shingles
- three-tab shingles
- shingle roof replacement
- shingle roof cost
- class A shingle assembly
- impact rated shingles
- designer shingles
- shingle roof repair

Metal Roofing and Copper Details
Metal belongs on these houses, just usually not where the brochure puts it. A broad standing-seam field on a 1920s bungalow reads as an agricultural building. The same metal on the porch roof, the bay window and the dormer cheeks is exactly what was there originally.

- bay window roof
- porch roof metal

Tile Roofing and Profile Matching
The hardest part of tile work on a period house is not the roof. It is finding fourteen tiles that match a profile the factory stopped extruding in 1954, and deciding what to do when you cannot. Original two-piece mission barrel tile, the pan-and-cover assembly on the 1920s Spanish Colonials here, was made by a handful of Southern California yards with their own moulds.

Flat and Low-Slope Roofing
Almost every period house here has grown a flat roof at some point. A porch got enclosed in 1958, a back bedroom went on in 1963, a carport became a laundry room. Those small low-slope planes are where most of the leaks in this housing stock live.

Roof Coatings and Sealing
A coating is the cheapest good decision or the most expensive bad one on your list, and which it is depends on a single question: is the roof underneath it sound. Coatings extend a working roof. They do not resurrect a failed one.

Roof and Attic Ventilation
The standard ventilation answer is a continuous ridge vent with continuous soffit intake. Most period houses in this part of Orange County have no soffit at all, so half of that recipe does not exist. Selling the ridge vent anyway makes things worse.

Skylights and Daylight Devices
Original houses here were not built with skylights and the framing shows it. Before anyone talks about glass, we go into the attic and work out whether a skylight is a morning's work or a framing project, because on these roofs it is usually the second one. Pre-war roofs here are rafter-framed with 2x4 or 2x6 members at close spacing, and they often have very little attic volume above the ceiling.

Gutters and Downspouts
A lot of houses on these streets were built without gutters on purpose, and a few of them still do not need any. That is not a sales-friendly opening, but it is the truth and it saves people money often enough to be worth saying first. A Spanish Colonial with a thirty-inch tile overhang and ground that falls away from the foundation was designed to throw water clear and it does.

Fascia, Soffit and Rafter Tails
On most modern houses this is a wrap-and-vent job. On the houses here it is carpentry, because the eave is a designed architectural feature with shaped rafter tails hanging out in the open where everyone can see them. Craftsman and Spanish Colonial eaves in this housing stock have no soffit at all.

Chimney Flashing and Cricket Work
Chimneys cause more leaks on period houses than any other detail, and on a good number of them the right recommendation is not to reflash the chimney. It is to take it down. That conversation goes better when it happens before you spend money twice.

Emergency Tarping and Dry-In
The instinct in an emergency is to get a tarp on the roof. On a tile roof that instinct will cost you more than the leak, because you cannot drag a tarp across two-piece barrel tile without breaking a great deal of it. So the method changes with the roof.

Commercial Roofing
Downtown Fullerton and the older commercial strips along Harbor and Commonwealth are largely 1920s and 1930s masonry buildings with brick parapets and low-slope roofs behind them. On those buildings the membrane is rarely the problem. The parapet is.

What Fullerton property owners ask us
Which roofing services does Fullerton Roof Pros handle?
Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Fullerton and north Orange County. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.
Can I combine more than one service in a single job?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling roofing work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.
Do you give free estimates for every service?
Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
What Fullerton Customers Say
They found the leak twelve feet from the ceiling stain, in a valley on the other side of the ridge, and explained why water travels along board decking. Two other companies had quoted a full replacement. The repair was a half day.
The estimate had the roof on one line and the plywood overlay on another, with the sheet count and a price per sheet. They hit four sheets over the estimate and charged exactly what the paper said. No drama at all.
Our 1926 house has open eaves and two rotted rafter tails. They cut a template off a good one and scarfed in new redwood so you cannot see the joint from the sidewalk. Nobody else offered to do anything but box them in.
They talked us out of filing a claim, showed us the depreciation math on a 40 year old roof, and did the repair for less than our deductible would have been after settlement. Honest people are hard to find in roofing.
