Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Pomona 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.

What a good job looks like
What to compare, once the estimates land
None of this is a sales pitch, because we are not selling you a roof. It is the short list of things that separate two quotes that look the same.
Licence and insurance, verified
General liability covers damage to your house; workers compensation covers an injury on your roof. Missing the second one can land on your homeowners policy.
The estimate itself
Watch for "decking replacement as needed" with no unit price. That is the item that moves a quote after work has started.
What happens in year three
Ask what happens if it leaks in eighteen months, and get the answer in writing rather than in conversation.
Who is actually on the roof
Nail pattern, underlayment, flashing at the penetrations: three things that decide the life of the roof and none of them show from the street.

Roofing costs around Pomona
Estimated installed ranges for a typical 24-square roof in Pomona — around 2,400 square feet of roof surface. These are guidance, not quotes.

| Covering | Per square | Typical whole roof | Expected life |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architectural asphalt shingleThe default choice on most American homes, and usually the right one. | $650 – $975 | $12,500 – $28,500 | 25 to 30 years |
| 3-tab asphalt shingleThe cheapest thing that still counts as a roof. Fewer and fewer crews will install it. | $550 – $725 | $10,500 – $21,000 | 15 to 20 years |
| Impact-rated asphalt shingleClass 4 rated. Often earns an insurance discount where hail is a factor. | $850 – $1,300 | $16,000 – $37,500 | 25 to 35 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,300 – $2,100 | $24,500 – $61,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Clay barrel tileOften salvaged and re-laid over new underlayment rather than replaced. | $1,700 – $3,500 | $32,500 – $101,500 | 50 to 80 years |
What moves the number
- Access — a truck that cannot get near the house adds hours to every load
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
- Where you land in the season; crews discount when the phone is quiet
Common repairs
| Emergency tarp-over | $425 – $1,200 |
|---|---|
| Small leak, flashing or a few shingles | $475 – $1,400 |
| Valley, chimney or skylight reflash | $1,000 – $3,100 |
| Section replacement, one slope | $1,600 – $5,400 |
Where these numbers come from. National installed ranges, adjusted for California labour and material costs and for how Pomona is actually built. They are a sanity check on the quotes you receive, nothing more. No contractor is bound by them.
Three steps, about a minute
You will not speak to us at any point. You fill this in, and roofing companies get in touch directly.
Tell us about the roof
Three taps. The questions exist so contractors know whether to send a repair tech or a re-roof estimator.
We match it locally
Your request goes to contractors who actually work Pomona and the surrounding area, filtered by the kind of job it is.
You compare and decide
Three quotes at most. They come out, look at the roof, and give you a number. Nothing obliges you to accept any of them.
Illustrative photographs of roofing work in general. Not photographs of jobs arranged through this site.
Quick, then quiet. A minute to send, and the calls start today rather than next week.
Vetted before they hear from you. Licence checked, insurance certificates held, coverage area confirmed.
A quote, not a contract. Nobody turns up with a ladder until you say so.
Up to three contractors — a hard cap, not a guideline.
Why Pomona roofs fail the way they do
This far from the coast, the wear on a roof comes from the seasons rather than the sea. Roughly 147,966 people, 49 square miles, and one county line: that is Pomona. Houses sit on more land than they would in a city, which usually means more roof area per house than the averages assume.
The thing roofers see most often in this market is dry offshore wind that arrives all at once in autumn. Dry offshore wind lifts material that damp coastal air had been holding down. Most wind losses here happen on a handful of nights a year.
Behind it: wind-blown embers landing in the valleys. Most houses lost to wildfire are lost to embers arriving ahead of the fire, not to the fire itself.
That is the context every quote you get should reflect, and the reason a national price calculator will be wrong for your house.

Offshore wind events
Dry offshore wind lifts material that damp coastal air had been holding down. Most wind losses here happen on a handful of nights a year.
Ember and wildfire exposure
Most houses lost to wildfire are lost to embers arriving ahead of the fire, not to the fire itself.
Marine layer damp and slow drying
Damp that arrives every morning and leaves by lunchtime is worse for a roof than rain, because nothing ever fully dries between one and the next.
Common questions
Should I repair or replace?
Rough rule: if the covering has more than about five years left and the damage is confined to one area, repair. If it is at the end of its life or you are patching the third leak in two years, you are paying instalments on a replacement.
Do I have to hire anyone?
Not at all. Plenty of people use this to find out what a job costs and then do nothing for a year. That is a perfectly reasonable outcome.
Why three quotes and not one?
Because one price tells you nothing. Three tells you where the middle is, and the outliers are informative in both directions — the very cheapest is usually leaving something out, and the most expensive should be able to say what you are getting for it.
Is moss on the roof a problem?
It matters more than it looks. The damage is not the moss, it is the permanent damp underneath it. Kill it and brush it off gently; never pressure wash asphalt.
What should I do to prepare?
Move the cars out, take pictures off the top-floor walls, cover anything stored in the attic, and put pets somewhere else for the loud days. Expect nails in the driveway however careful the crew is — ask whether they run a magnet at the end.
Are you a roofing company?
No. Pomona Apex Roofing is a free matching service. We do not hold a roofing licence, we do not employ crews, and we never come to your house. We pass your request to independent local contractors who do the work and who you hire directly.

Coverage does not stop at a boundary line — the ZIP on your request decides who receives it.
Worth reading first
Short, specific, and written to be useful before you talk to anybody.
Is your roof due? A two-field check
When it was last done and what it is made of gets you most of the way to the answer. No contact details, nothing sent anywhere — the arithmetic happens in your browser.
Do not know? Use the year the house was built. That is what a roofer assumes until they get up there.
Not sure between shingle types? Architectural is the thicker, layered-looking one and is the usual answer.
What to look at, from the ground and from the attic
A guide from rated material life, not an inspection. Nothing here has seen your roof. Two roofs of the same age on the same street routinely need different things, and only somebody up a ladder can tell you which yours is.
Find out what it costs
No cost, no obligation, and never more than three contractors.
