Moss thrives in the shaded, damp areas common in many San Bernardino neighborhoods, especially those with mature trees. It can lift tiles and trap moisture, leading to wood rot. We safely remove the moss with specialized treatments and clean the roof surface. Crucially, we then apply a preventative zinc or copper strip treatment along the roof ridge. As rain washes over these strips, it deposits moss-inhibiting ions down the roof, providing long-term protection specifically suited to our local environment.

In San Bernardino, temperature fluctuations, occasional high winds, and the natural settling of a home over time can compromise the fasteners holding concrete or clay tiles. A slipped tile exposes the underlayment to sun and water damage. Our process involves carefully removing the affected tiles and any surrounding compromised ones. We then replace the waterproof underlayment as needed and re-secure the tiles using new, corrosion-resistant fasteners specifically rated for our climate, ensuring a secure fit that matches your roof's existing pattern.

Often, we can perform a targeted repair on a specific section. However, during our inspection, we'll check the surrounding area for other loose tiles, damaged underlayment, or worn fasteners that might indicate a wider issue. Our priority is to give you an honest, neighborly assessment. If it's an isolated problem, we'll fix it promptly. If we see patterns that suggest broader vulnerability—common on older roofs in San Bernardino—we'll explain your options to prevent more frequent and costly repairs down the line.
