Fontana sits right where the Cajon Pass wind spills down into the Inland Empire, and that wind is the first thing we look at on any roof here. From the older citrus-era homes near Sierra Avenue to the two-story stucco tracts off the 210, roofs in 92335 take a beating that most inland cities never see.
We're Riverside Metal Roofing, and we've been working Fontana roofs long enough to know which subdivisions have the worst wind peel and which low-slope patios need standing seam instead of another layer of shingle. If you're near Fontana Park or out toward Etiwanda, we've probably already been on your street.
Metal Roofing in Fontana (92335)
Fontana is not one kind of neighborhood. You've got the older ranch tracts with low-pitch shingle and concrete tile roofs that were built fast in the 1960s and 70s, and those roofs are now at the end of their life, with fasteners backing out and underlayment baked brittle from 100-degree summers. Then you've got the newer subdivisions north of the 210 with tighter lots, steeper pitches, and HOA rules about panel profile and color. The Cajon Pass wind is the great equalizer: it lifts ridge caps, peels back panel edges, and drives grit under flashing until the sealant fails. We size fasteners and seam spacing for that wind load, not for a generic spec sheet.
Our team has worked the whole range here, from corrugated panel on a horse property out toward Jurupa Valley to stone-coated steel on a two-story in the Etiwanda foothills. We know how Fontana's expansive clay soils move with the wet and dry seasons, and we plan drainage and flashing so water runs away from the fascia instead of finding the one gap you can't see. When we do a retrofit over old shingles, we check the existing layers against code before we ever quote it.

How a Job Works in Fontana
Step 1 is a free on-site assessment. We come out, walk the roof, check the attic if it's accessible, and look at the flashing, fasteners, and panel condition. We'll tell you what's actually failing and give you a written estimate, not a pressure pitch. If it's a storm or wind claim, we document what we find so you have photos and measurements for your insurer.
Step 2 is the work itself. In Fontana that often means coordinating with the city's building department for a permit, and if you're in an HOA, we help you get the panel profile and color approved before we order material. On tight lots we stage panels carefully so we're not blocking your neighbor's driveway, and we schedule around the wind, because installing panels in a Cajon Pass gust is a good way to wreck a roof and a crew.
Step 3 is cleanup and a final walkthrough. We magnet-sweep for screws and metal shavings, haul off old material, and walk the finished roof with you so you know what you're looking at. We leave your property clean, and we don't disappear after the last panel goes down.
Pricing in Fontana depends on the roof, not just the square footage. A straightforward corrugated panel install starts around $5.50 per square foot, while standing seam runs from about $10 per square foot and up. A full replacement typically lands around $9 per square foot, and a retrofit over existing shingles starts near $7 per square foot, assuming your current roof qualifies under code. Repairs and leak calls start at $450, screw replacement and re-fastening at $750, and coating or painting at $2.50 per square foot. What moves the number is access, roof pitch and complexity, how much old material has to come off, and how fast you need it done. Call us at (951) 783-4287 for a free estimate and a straight answer.
