Whether you are building new, finishing an addition, or moving from a tired shingle roof up to tile, a new roof installation is the chance to get the entire system right from the start, including the fire and heat performance that carries so much weight in the foothills. Ontario Roofers installs new roofs across Rancho Cucamonga, CA in concrete tile, clay, and architectural shingle, built from the deck up with proper underlayment, flashing, and balanced ventilation. We pull the permit, install to the manufacturer's specification, and pass the inspection, so your new roof performs the way it should from the first day.

Picking a roof system for the home and its exposure
A new roof installation starts with choosing the right system for the home, the budget, and the exposure, and around Rancho Cucamonga that conversation has to fold in heat and fire, not just appearance and cost. We lay out the real trade-offs rather than steering you toward whatever product is the easiest sale that month. Concrete and clay tile suit a great many foothill homes for solid reasons. They take the intense sun without degrading, they fit the Spanish and Mediterranean styles common across the valley, and as Class A fire-rated assemblies they offer real protection where the dry brush meets the neighborhoods. Architectural shingle is a sound and more affordable choice on the right home, and the better lines carry a Class A rating as well.
Since our business is installing the roof rather than pushing one particular product, our advice follows what genuinely fits your situation, including how close the home sits to the wildland edge. A house right up against the slope is well served by the fire resistance and long life of tile, while another home is a better fit for a quality architectural shingle. You get the honest side-by-side, fire rating included, and the decision stays in your hands.
Every layer matters, not just the surface you see
A new roof is a great deal more than the material on top. On new construction and additions we build the complete assembly from the deck up. We verify the sheathing, lay high-heat underlayment rated to survive the Inland Empire sun, install fresh flashing at every wall and penetration, set clean valley metal and a proper drip edge, and finish with the roofing system itself. Every layer has a role, and on a tile roof in particular the underlayment is the layer doing the actual waterproofing, so getting it right at installation is what determines how long the roof runs before its first real problem.
Ventilation gets engineered in from the very start, which is one of the genuine advantages of building a new roof right. Balanced intake at the eaves paired with exhaust at the ridge keeps the attic near the outdoor temperature, sparing the deck and the underlayment from the summer heat that would otherwise cook them from beneath. A great many roofs in this climate die young because the original ventilation came up short and the attic ran like a furnace for years on end. A new installation is the moment to set that right for the roof's entire life, alongside the ember-resistant details that count for so much near the brush.
On the record, up to code, and warranty-backed
A new roof belongs on the record, not off it. We pull whatever permit the job calls for, install to the manufacturer's specification so the material warranty holds, and have the work inspected the way code requires. Skipping any of that might trim a little off the price up front, but it gambles with the warranty, the insurance, and the home's resale, and that is not a trade we are willing to make on your behalf. In a fire-prone foothill setting, the code requirements around the assembly and the eaves were written for a reason, and we build to them.
Staying in step with the rest of a build is part of doing a new roof well. On new construction and additions the roof has to land at the right point in the schedule, once the framing and sheathing are ready and in rhythm with the other trades, so the structure gets dried in without stalling the work that follows. We keep in contact with the homeowner and, where it applies, the general contractor to time the install correctly, rather than treating the roof as a standalone task dropped into the middle of a project.
It all starts with a free consultation and no pressure attached. We walk the project, talk through the system choices and the trade-offs, fire rating and heat performance included, and hand you a clear written estimate with the scope laid out. Once the new roof is done you receive the documentation, the manufacturer coverage, and our own workmanship warranty over the top of it, so the roof above your new space is one you never have to think about twice.
