ROOFING CONTRACTOR & ROOF REPAIR IN SAN DIEGO, CA

ROOFING IN SAN DIEGO

The City of San Diego stretches from the border to the Escondido line, and its roofs cover every era Southern California has built: 1920s Craftsman and Spanish homes with flat parapet roofs in North Park and the older neighborhoods around Balboa Park; 1950s–60s ranch tracts in Clairemont Mesa; 1970s Tierrasanta; the 1980s–2000s concrete-tile master plans of Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Peñasquitos, Scripps Ranch, and Carmel Valley on the north side; and coastal homes in La Jolla, Pacific Beach, and Point Loma that live with salt air and marine layer for most of the year.

Two things apply citywide. Permits and inspections go through the Development Services Department, whose Information Bulletin 123 sets the rules for roof-covering renewals — a permit is not required when the roof structure is left alone, but it is required when sheathing or framing is replaced, and any roof that has more than 25 percent of its area replaced within 12 months must be a Class A assembly. And two wildfires have burned into the city in the last quarter century: the 2003 Cedar Fire, which destroyed 335 structures inside the city with Scripps Ranch and Tierrasanta hit hardest, and the 2007 Witch Creek Fire, which destroyed 365 homes in Rancho Bernardo. The city's fire-zone map now covers every canyon-rim neighborhood.

Stone Ranch Construction is based in Costa Mesa and runs re-roof, tile lift-and-relay, and storm-damage insurance crews down the I-5 into San Diego. We have written separate pages for the inland North City communities — Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Peñasquitos, Scripps Ranch, and Carmel Valley — and we serve the rest of the city from the same crews.
