Roofing Service in Santa Ana
Alpha & Omega Roofing has been roofing Southern California properties since 1960, and Santa Ana is now part of our Orange County service area. We are locally owned and locally operated, licensed, bonded and insured, and the crew that starts your roof is the crew that finishes it. Santa Ana is the county seat and one of its oldest cities, with prewar bungalows in its historic districts, large postwar neighborhoods and a lot of apartment and commercial buildings. We repair, maintain, inspect and replace roofs on all of them. We also serve nearby Costa Mesa and Tustin.

Roofing Options for Every Style & Budget
Shingles
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles cover most of Santa Ana’s postwar housing. They are affordable, quick to install and easy to repair, and a like-for-like shingle re-roof often qualifies for the City’s same-day permit.
Dimensional Shingles
Dimensional shingles are laminated in layers, so they add depth to the roof and hide small dips in an older deck. They carry longer manufacturer coverage than a three-tab.
Fiberglass Shingles
Fiberglass shingles are built on a glass mat, which keeps them light and gives them a strong fire rating. They are a practical choice for residential roofs on older framing.
Tile
Clay Tiles
Clay tile is fired, so its color runs through the tile and does not fade. It is the traditional roof on Santa Ana’s Spanish Revival houses, where matching the original profile matters.
Concrete Tiles
Concrete tile is dense, wind-resistant and long-lived, and broken pieces can be replaced individually. It is a common like-for-like replacement on later tile homes.
Lightweight Tiles
Lightweight tile offers the look of tile on a house whose framing was built for shingles, without adding structural work to the job.
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 Santa Ana Homeowners Should Know Before a Reroof
Santa Ana issues re-roof permits through the Building Safety Division of the Planning and Building Agency, at the counter on the first floor of the Ross Annex, 20 Civic Center Plaza. The City requires a permit for all re-roofing except repairs that total less than 100 square feet. A like-for-like re-roof on a single-family home or duplex, using the same material, can get a Same-Day Express Permit in person or through the online portal.
The express permit does not apply to every house. Properties on the Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties, contributing properties in a historic district such as Downtown, French Park or Floral Park, and some specially zoned properties are excluded. Those houses need a Certificate of Appropriateness, reviewed against the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, before the roof can change. The City’s roofing requirements, revised for the 2025 California Building and Energy Codes, call for two inspections: a pre-roofing inspection of the framing, sheathing and number of layers before anything is covered, and a final. Construction is allowed from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and not at all on Sundays or federal holidays, and construction and demolition debris must be 65 percent diverted.
Santa Ana has some of the oldest housing in the county. Census figures for 2020 to 2024 give a median year built of 1969 across 83,701 housing units, with 22.7 percent built in the 1970s, 20.8 percent in the 1950s and 73.9 percent standing before 1980. Another 8.2 percent were built in 1939 or earlier, and on those houses a tear-off often uncovers skip sheathing and several old layers.
Every Santa Ana ZIP code from 92701 to 92707 falls in California Building Climate Zone 8 under the Energy Commission’s ZIP code table, and the City’s roofing handout applies the Zone 8 cool-roof requirement. Costa Mesa, just to the south at 92626 and 92627, is Zone 6, so cool-roof values differ across that line.
Trusted Across Southern California Since 1960
We roof houses and apartment buildings across Santa Ana, and our crews have also worked on institutional buildings elsewhere in Southern California. Those clients hired us for the reason homeowners do: the detail work holds and the crew finishes on the date it gave. A single-family re-roof gets the same crews and the same license as a large contract.

Roof Maintenance in Santa Ana, CA
On a Santa Ana roof, sun and age do more damage than rain. Our maintenance service puts a roofer on the roof on a schedule to replace cracked tile, re-secure lifted shingles, renew pipe boots and clear valleys and gutters. Every visit is photographed, so you can see how the roof is aging and plan the replacement yourself.
Roof Repairs in Santa Ana, CA
Water can travel between old roof layers before it shows on a ceiling, so the stain is rarely under the leak. Alpha & Omega Roofing has spent more than six decades tracing leaks to the source. On Santa Ana houses that is usually a failed vent boot, a worn valley, a cracked tile or old flashing at a chimney or wall. We open the area, replace what got wet, rebuild the detail and photograph it.
Roof Inspections in Santa Ana, CA
An inspection tells you how much life a roof has left before you buy, sell or renew insurance, and on an older Santa Ana house it also tells you how many layers are up there. Your roofer walks the surface, checks the attic and photographs underlayment, flashing, valleys and penetrations.
Re-Roofing in Santa Ana, CA
A full roof replacement from Alpha & Omega Roofing strips a Santa Ana roof to the deck, has the framing and sheathing ready for the pre-roofing inspection, then installs new underlayment, flashing and a cool-roof rated covering. On historic homes we match the original material and get the Certificate of Appropriateness first. The permit is closed out properly at the end.
