Roofing Service in Irvine
Alpha & Omega Roofing has been roofing Southern California properties since 1960, and Irvine is one of the newer markets we work in. It is a locally owned and locally operated business, licensed, bonded and insured. Irvine housing is young by county standards, so the common problems here are different: builder-grade shingles reaching the end of a shortened service life, flashing details that were rushed at handover, and tile roofs where the underlayment ages out well before the tile above it does. We repair, maintain, inspect and replace roofs on houses, condominiums, apartment buildings and commercial properties across the city. We also serve nearby Newport Beach and Laguna Woods.

Roofing Options for Every Style & Budget
Shingles
Fiberglass Shingles
Fiberglass shingles are built on a glass-fiber mat, which makes them light and gives them a strong fire rating. They install over standard framing without a structural review, which is why they are a common answer when a builder-grade roof reaches the end of its life.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are still the default covering for residential roofs where tile was not part of the original design. They go on quickly, the material is easy to match, and a damaged section can be repaired without disturbing the rest of the roof.
Dimensional Shingles
Dimensional shingles are laminated so the surface has depth to it, which reads well on the steeper pitches common in newer Irvine tracts. They carry longer warranties than three-tab shingles and stay put better in wind.
Tile
Lightweight Tiles
Lightweight tile suits a house that was framed for shingle but is being taken to a tile profile. It gives the same shadow line at a fraction of the load, so the roof structure usually does not need engineering work first.
Clay Tiles
Clay tile holds its color permanently, because the color is fired into the body rather than applied to the face. On Irvine roofs the tile itself often outlives two sets of underlayment, so clay is normally lifted, stacked and reset rather than discarded at a re-roof.
Concrete Tiles
Concrete tile covers a lot of roof per piece and stands up well to sun and wind. It is the most common tile on newer Irvine houses, and like clay it is usually salvaged and reset once the underlayment beneath it reaches the end of its life.
Professional Roofing Solutions
Re-Roofing in Irvine, CA
A full roof replacement on an Irvine house is often an underlayment job with a tile roof sitting on top of it. We lift and stack the tile, strip the old underlayment down to the deck, repair any sheathing that needs it, then lay new underlayment and reset or replace the tile. On shingle roofs we tear off to the deck and rebuild edge metal, valleys and flashing before the new covering goes down. Either way you get a written specification, a schedule and the warranty terms before the crew arrives, and the City paperwork is handled as part of the job.
Roof Inspections in Irvine, CA
An inspection tells you where a roof is in its life, which matters most on houses young enough that nobody has looked yet. We check the covering, the flashing at walls and skylights, the penetrations, the drainage and the attic side, and on tile roofs we lift tile to see the underlayment rather than judging the roof from the tile. The report comes with photographs, an estimate of remaining life and a separation between work that is due now and work that can be planned.
Roof Repairs in Irvine, CA
Most Irvine leaks come from a detail rather than from a worn-out roof. A skylight curb, a wall-to-roof transition, a cracked tile above a valley or a pipe collar that has dried out will let water in long before the covering is finished. Our roofers find the entry point, open only what has to be opened, and repair the detail rather than sealing over it. Cracked tiles are replaced with matching pieces where they can be sourced, and you get photographs of the work.
Roof Maintenance in Irvine, CA
A maintenance visit is cheap insurance on a roof that is still young. We clear the drainage paths, reseal exposed fasteners, replace cracked tiles and broken pipe collars, and record the condition of the underlayment wherever it can be seen. You get a short report and photographs each time. Annual agreements set the visits in advance so they land before the rain rather than after the first leak.
License and Manufacturer Certifications
Alpha & Omega Roofing, Inc. holds California contractor license #C39-857106. We hold current manufacturer certifications with GAF, Malarkey, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, Versico, FiberTite, and DOW, covering steep-slope shingle and tile work as well as single-ply commercial systems. Those certifications let us register manufacturer-backed warranties of up to 20 years on material and workmanship. We carry workers’ compensation and liability insurance, and our customer reviews are published on the site.
We specify cool-roof rated products that meet the Title 24 aged solar reflectance and thermal emittance values, from the manufacturer lines we are certified to install.
What Irvine Homeowners Should Know Before a Reroof
Irvine runs building permits through the Community Development Department at 1 Civic Center Plaza. Applications and plans are submitted electronically through the City portal rather than over a counter, and a re-roof submittal has its own document set.
The Irvine requirement that catches out contractors from elsewhere is the waste management plan. Chapter 10 of Section 6, Division 7 of the Irvine Municipal Code, adopted as the City Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling and Reuse Ordinance 07-18, requires construction, renovation and demolition projects to complete a waste management plan, and the City will not issue the permit until that plan has been approved. A commercial re-roof submittal carries a Re-Roof Questionnaire and a Recycling and Diversion of Construction and Demolition Waste Assessment alongside the permit application. Build the approval time into your schedule, because the plan gates the permit and the permit gates the tear-off.
Irvine has the youngest housing stock of any city in this part of the county. Census figures for 2020 to 2024 put the median year built at 2002, with 29.5 percent of units built between 2010 and 2019 and 20.7 percent built before 1980. That changes what a roof replacement looks like here. A large share of Irvine work is underlayment renewal under tile that is still in good condition, rather than a tear-off of a worn-out covering.
Irvine straddles two Title 24 climate zones. The Energy Commission ZIP table puts 92602, 92603, 92604, 92606, 92612, 92614, 92618 and 92620 in California Building Climate Zone 8, while 92697 on the coastal side of the city is Zone 6. The Energy Commission climate zone map agrees, running the Zone 6 boundary through the southwest corner of the city, so the cool-roof values that apply to your job depend on which side of that line your roof sits.
