Solana Beach was built in one wave — half of its homes date to the 1970s — on the bluffs and the hills east of Highway 101, from La Colonia de Eden Gardens, the city's oldest neighborhood, to Santa Fe Hills, Isla Verde, and San Elijo Hills on the inland side. Many of those 1970s homes started with wood shake or flat roofs; most of the shake has been converted to composition shingle or tile on spaced sheathing, and the flat roofs have been re-covered more than once.
The entire city is in the California Coastal Zone, and the city's Building Services page notes that development applications require Coastal Commission approval, with bluff properties unable to get a building permit until that documentation is in hand. The state's 2025 map gives Solana Beach about 0.43 square miles of Very High fire hazard severity zone — roughly 333 homes — plus a High zone, concentrated near open space, the San Elijo Lagoon, and the hillsides on the city's east side; the city adopted the maps on June 18, 2025.
Re-roofing is permitted work here, with a city re-roofing information sheet and submittals through the eTRAKiT portal. Our Solana Beach services are shake-conversion re-roofs with re-decking, flat-roof replacement, coastal corrosion repairs, and Class A assemblies in the mapped fire zones near the lagoon and hillsides.

Permits: Re-roofs are permitted and inspected through the City of Solana Beach Building Services Division. We pull the permit and schedule inspections.
Fire hazard zones: Parts of Solana Beach 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.

SOLANA BEACH ROOFING FAQ
Do I need a coastal permit to re-roof in Solana Beach?
The whole city is in the Coastal Zone, and bluff properties in particular need Coastal Commission documentation before a building permit is issued. A like-for-like re-roof on an inland lot is usually simpler; we confirm your property's requirements with Building Services before work starts.
Is my Solana Beach home in a fire hazard zone?
About 333 homes are in the Very High zone under the 2025 map, near the San Elijo Lagoon, open space, and the eastern hillsides, with a High zone around them. We check the map for your address and specify a Class A assembly where it applies.
How are re-roof permits handled?
Re-roofing is permitted work in Solana Beach; the city publishes a re-roofing information sheet, and submittals go through the eTRAKiT portal. We handle the application and inspections.
How do I choose the best roofing contractor in Solana Beach?
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 Solana Beach), 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 Solana Beach.
