Roofing in Fresno, CA

Homes in Fresno: what pros run into

The city runs about 260 wells that draw from the Fresno Sole Source Aquifer. Hard water is common, and mineral scale builds up in water heaters and fixtures.

The Fresno-Clovis Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility treats about 68 million gallons of wastewater a day. Additions often have a lower-pitch roof tied into the original one, and that seam is a common spot for leaks.

Fire-resistant roofing is required in some high fire-risk areas. Summers in the San Joaquin Valley are long and hot, with many days over 100 degrees.

Utilities, permits and licensing

Roofing contractors in California are licensed by the Contractors State License Board. Check with the Development and Resource Management Department about permit requirements before re-roofing, especially in historic districts. After a big storm, roofers get busy fast, so a temporary tarp can protect the house while you wait for a full repair.
