Fontana Roof Pros provides professional metal roofing in Fontana, CA for residential and commercial properties across the western Inland Empire. Bare metal is not a cool roof. That sentence undoes most of what gets said about metal in a hot climate, and it is the reason this page reads differently from a metal roofing page written anywhere else. Reflectance is only half the equation. Emittance is the other half.
Unfinished Galvalume or galvanized steel reflects a good share of the sunlight that hits it, then holds what it absorbs, because bare metal is a poor emitter. The surface stays hot and radiates into the deck. A PVDF finish — Kynar 500 or its equivalents — in a mid-tone with cool pigments both reflects and releases heat, which is why a painted panel in a medium gray outperforms a bright bare one in this climate.
Movement is the second thing we design around. Metal expands and contracts far more than the deck it sits on, and a thirty-degree swing between an August afternoon and the following dawn is normal here. Over a long panel run that adds up to real travel. So: concealed floating clips, panels seamed mechanically, fasteners into the clip rather than through the panel face, and expansion allowed at eave and ridge.
That is also why we are cautious about exposed-fastener panels on houses. Every screw is a hole with an EPDM washer holding it back, and with enough thermal cycling the screws walk loose and the washers harden. They belong on barns, patio covers and equipment enclosures where a re-screw every decade is acceptable, not on a two-storey roof over a bedroom.
Metal over an existing shingle roof, on purlins with an air space, is an option worth pricing here. It removes a tear-off, and the air gap does for a metal roof what battens do for tile — the deck stays cooler than under either material laid tight. It also loads the structure, so it needs looking at before it gets quoted.
Where we say no: a small, simple, low-budget re-roof on a single-storey ranch. Standing seam costs multiples of a cool-rated shingle, and the payback on a 1,400 square foot roof is longer than most owners plan to stay. Metal earns its price on complex rooflines, long unbroken runs, low-slope-to-steep transitions, and owners with no intention of moving. It also earns it where the roof is visible from the street and the owner wants something other than composition.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — cool-rated architectural shingles, high-temperature SBS-modified underlayment, batten-set concrete tile with a one-inch air space, Kynar 500 PVDF standing-seam panels, heat-welded TPO membrane, reflective elastomeric coating — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fontana and nearby communities including Rialto, Bloomington, Colton, Grand Terrace.

Materials, equipment and how we do metal roofing
The difference between metal roofing that lasts and metal roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with cool-rated architectural shingles, high-temperature SBS-modified underlayment, batten-set concrete tile with a one-inch air space, Kynar 500 PVDF standing-seam panels, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Fontana job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the western Inland Empire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down.
