Escondido is the inland North County's oldest city, and its roofs run from the 1880s-onward homes of the Old Escondido Historic District — about 900 houses south of downtown where exterior changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Planning Department — through the 1970s–80s tracts that make up half the city, to the newer tile neighborhoods on the hillsides — Rancho San Pasqual, Lomas Del Lago, and the other specific-plan communities. Downtown and the flats are composition shingle and older tile; the hills are concrete tile on underlayment that is now 25 to 35 years old.
The city's General Plan describes most of Escondido as High to Very High fire hazard, with only the downtown core mapped Moderate, and the October 2007 Witch Creek Fire spread into the city. Escondido's Building Division publishes wildland-urban interface and ignition-resistant eave requirements alongside its roof-covering certification form, and residential re-roof permits must be submitted through the city's online permit portal.
Our Escondido services are hillside tile lift-and-relay with new underlayment, shake-conversion re-roofs on the 1970s tracts, Class A fire-zone assemblies, historic-district repairs that match the existing roof, and Santa Ana wind-damage documentation for insurance claims.

Housing & roofs: 1880s-onward homes in the Old Escondido Historic District; 1970s–80s tracts across the flats; 1990s–2000s concrete tile on the hillside specific-plan communities; most of the city in High or Very High fire hazard zones.
Housing age: The median home in Escondido was built in 1981, and about 51% of its 52,662 housing units were built in the 1970s and 1980s (U.S. Census Bureau, 2019–2023 ACS 5-Year Estimates).

Permits: Re-roofs are permitted and inspected through the City of Escondido Building Division. We pull the permit and schedule inspections.
Fire hazard zones: Parts of Escondido are mapped as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone by the California Office of the State Fire Marshal. Inside those zones a re-roof must use a Class A fire-rated roof covering (California Residential Code R902.1.1), and we recommend ember-resistant vents and the other Chapter 7A details whenever vents or eaves are replaced. Check your address on the official fire-zone map.

ESCONDIDO ROOFING FAQ
Do I need special approval to re-roof in Old Escondido?
If your home is inside the Old Escondido Historic District, exterior changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Planning Department before the building permit. We match the existing roof material and profile and prepare the application.
Is my Escondido home in a fire hazard zone?
Most of the city outside downtown is mapped High or Very High. We check the city's fire-severity map for your address and specify a Class A assembly with ember-resistant vents and eaves where it applies.
How are re-roof permits handled in Escondido?
Residential re-roof permits go through the city's online permit portal, with inspections by the Building Division at City Hall. We submit the application and schedule the inspections.
How do I choose the best roofing contractor in Escondido?
Check four things before you sign anything: an active California contractor license you can look up on the CSLB website (ours is CSLB #1149997), a manufacturer certification such as GAF Certified, a real local office (Stone Ranch Construction is at 711 W 17th St, Unit G-2, Costa Mesa, about a drive down the freeway from Escondido), and a free on-the-roof inspection with a written estimate that names the materials. Then compare bids on the same scope, not the lowest number. Call or text (714) 790-9925 to schedule an inspection in Escondido.
