Roof inspection in ClaremontWhat Claremont roofs are up against.
Claremont earns its City of Trees name, and that canopy defines its roofs. Towering, mature trees shade the streets and the historic Craftsman and Spanish homes near the Colleges and the Village, dropping a steady, heavy load of leaves and seeds into valleys and gutters and keeping shaded north slopes damp enough to grow moss. The east-Valley summers are hot and dry, baking the exposed slopes, and the northern edge of town runs up toward the foothills and their fire exposure. Many Claremont homes are older, with original or period-appropriate roofs — clay tile on the Spanish houses, composition on the Craftsman bungalows — where preservation of character matters. It is careful, debris-conscious roofing on homes that people take pride in.
The roofs we work on most in Claremont: Composition shingle on the Craftsman and college-town homes; Clay and concrete tile on the Spanish-style homes; Flat and low-slope over additions.
Most of what we're called for here: Heavy tree debris packing valleys and gutters; Moss and damp on shaded north slopes; Failed underlayment beneath aging tile.
Every stage of our work is photographed by drone so you can see the deck before it's covered. That documentation isn't an extra — it's how we work on every roof.

We check what applies to your parcel before we quote, and we'll confirm it with the permitting authority for you.
Energy / cool roof (Title 24)
Claremont sits in California Energy Commission Climate Zone 9. Under Title 24, Part 6, a low-slope or flat roof here must use a cool-roof product (aged solar reflectance of at least 0.63 and thermal emittance of at least 0.75 — roughly SRI 75) when you replace 50% or more of the roof or about 1,000 sq ft or more. Steep-slope (pitched) residential roofs in Climate Zone 9 are exempt from the cool-roof requirement, so standard shingle or tile is fine. Small like-for-like repairs generally don't trigger it. See the California Energy Commission standards and the CRRC directory for rated products.
Fire — foothill parcels
Claremont's northern foothill neighborhoods near the San Gabriel Mountains and the Angeles National Forest are in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (CAL FIRE's 2025 map), where Chapter 7A requires a Class A roof assembly and ember-resistant construction; the flatter southern city isn't. You can check any parcel on the CAL FIRE hazard-zone viewer.
Decking / sheathing
Many older Claremont homes were built with spaced 1×6 “skip” sheathing under the original roof. For a modern shingle or tile system — and for a Class A assembly — that decking often has to be overlaid with solid sheathing, and any rotted boards replaced. We confirm exactly what your roof needs with a deck inspection at tear-off, not a guess.
Color & materials
Roof color isn't regulated by code. Where a cool roof is required you need a CRRC-rated product that meets the SRI — and those come in a wide range of colors, not just white. On a Pasadena landmark or historic-district property, the design review may also weigh in on material and color.

Financing available for qualified Claremont homeowners
You don't have to pay for a roof all at once: financing is available for qualified homeowners, subject to qualification — written itemized pricing first, financing second, never any pressure. And because Title 24 cool-roof products are qualifying energy improvements, a Claremont re-roof that needs one may also qualify for PACE-style energy financing — ask us and we'll confirm what applies to your property.
