Montclair, CA
Tile and slate roofing in Montclair
The most common tile job is not a replacement at all. It is a lift-and-relay: the same tile comes off, new underlayment goes down, the tile goes back.

Three questions, then the address. Up to three Montclair contractors who do this work.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Montclair and the surrounding area.
- Today, usually within the hour. The first contractor calls or texts the number you gave us. ASAP requests go out first.
- Up to three of them, no more. We cap it at three so you can compare without your phone melting.
- They come and look. Estimates are given after somebody has been on the roof, not over the phone.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
If you do not hear anything today, check your voicemail and spam folder — contractors often call from a mobile number.
Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a tile and slate job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- Whether battens are being replaced at the same time
- The condition and age of the underlayment beneath
- What percentage of tile breakage they expect and how it is priced
- Whether the tile can be salvaged and relaid
- Fastener specification, especially near salt air
Walking a tile roof breaks tile. That is not carelessness, it is physics, and any honest contractor will tell you a small percentage will be lost and replaced.
Ask specifically how many tile or slate roofs the crew completed last year. The honest number is often small.
Broken or slipped tiles are a maintenance item, not an emergency, provided the underlayment beneath is still sound.
Locally
The second problem is ember intrusion through vents and open eaves. Most houses lost to wildfire are lost to embers arriving ahead of the fire, not to the fire itself.
About tile and slate here
Do you handle commercial buildings?
Yes. Commercial requests go to contractors who do low-slope and flat systems rather than to residential crews. Say so on the property question and it routes correctly.
I have solar panels. What happens to them?
They come off and go back on, and that is a separate cost, often handled by the solar installer rather than the roofer. If the roof is near the end of its life, do the roof first — removing and refitting panels twice is money wasted.
I rent. Can I use this?
Only the owner can approve roofing work. If you are renting, the fastest route is to send this to your landlord or property manager rather than gathering quotes nobody can act on.
Do you cover the whole San Bernardino County area?
We match across Montclair and the neighbouring communities in San Bernardino County. Put the ZIP of the property in and it will route to whoever actually covers it.
