Roofs on Bloomington's older streets and rural lots
Bloomington was laid out in 1888 as a town grid, and parts of it are still rural. Residents keep animals, so a lot often holds a house along with a shelter, shed or barn. Each one has its own roof, and each ages differently.
The Census puts the median home at 1975, with 69% owner-occupied. A house from that era is often on its second or third covering. Worn valleys, patched flashing and old nail heads are the usual finds. A roof repair there is cheaper than replacing wet decking later.
Flat sections and warehouse neighbors
Low-slope additions, garages and covered patios dot older Bloomington lots, and nearby warehouse districts add larger flat roofs. Both fail the same way: water sits near a clogged drain, and a seam opens at a curb or wall. See flat roofing for how we approach repair, coating and replacement.
Crestmore, Larch Avenue and the Union Pacific hump yard
The oldest part of the community is Crestmore, generally between Locust and Larch Avenues. It grew around the Riverside Portland Cement Company plant, which opened in 1907, and a railroad built for the plant reached Bloomington in 1911. Today the Union Pacific Alhambra Subdivision still crosses town with a hump yard, and the Bloomington Recreation and Park District manages the parks.
The weather is dry and hot. Average highs run from 66°F in January to 94°F in July and August, the record high is 113°F, and the year brings roughly 10.7 inches of precipitation, with January the wettest month. That is enough sun to age sealant and shingle surfaces, and enough winter rain to find any gap.
The 2020 census counted 5,925 housing units at an elevation of 1,099 feet, and 67% of occupied homes were owner-occupied. The San Bernardino County Fire Department provides fire service.
Booking a Bloomington visit from Van Nuys
Expect about two hours on the road, so we do not drop in. We schedule in advance and name a firm time after reviewing the calendar. With water coming in, protect the floor and belongings, cover what you can reach and let us know early. We will then set the earliest visit we can and give you a time we can keep.
County permits for Bloomington, not a city's
Bloomington's neighbors, Rialto and Fontana, are cities. Bloomington is not, so San Bernardino County issues the permits. A roof that already has two layers cannot take a new one on top, and some older homes may contain asbestos in roofing materials. Where we spot signs, we recommend a lab test before removal begins.
What customers say
“I even saw Roger return later with a magnetic roller to check the ground again for any missed roofing nails, which showed real care and attention to detail.”
“The crew’s workmanship looked top-notch, and they kept me updated by sending drone photos of the roof work as it happened, which was really helpful since I wasn’t about to climb up there myself!”

Roofing questions from Bloomington
Can you handle a Bloomington roof from so far away?
Yes, as a planned trip. The trip covers 79 miles from Van Nuys and takes about two hours by our estimate, so we book estimates and installs ahead. For an active leak, put a tarp or plastic over the area first and let us know early. We set the earliest visit we can once we have reviewed the schedule, and no time is promised before then.
Is Bloomington's roof permit handled by a city?
No. San Bernardino County Land Use Services issues building permits here, because Bloomington is unincorporated. Fontana and Rialto, which border it, run their own city departments, so quotes written there do not carry over. Settle in the contract who obtains the permit and who requests inspections, and confirm the process for your parcel before any work starts.
Do I need a separate roof for a Bloomington animal shelter or barn?
Every building carries its own roof, age and slope, so we assess each one. Small metal shelters need different fasteners than a house roof, and their permit needs can differ. Ask the county about every structure you plan to re-roof. Buildings are priced individually, which lets you do them together or in stages.
Services in Bloomington
- Commercial Roofing
Warehouse districts are growing around Bloomington, and flat roofs there ask for drain, seam and curb checks. We assess what a building needs and tell you honestly if it is more than we should take.
- Flat Roofing
Low-slope sections on Bloomington house additions, garages and outbuildings hold water at seams. We trace the pooling and tie-ins first, then decide between repair, coating and a new membrane.
- Roof Repair
A 1975 median build year means worn valleys, old nail heads and patched flashing on many Bloomington roofs. Repairing those early keeps water from reaching the decking beneath.
- Roof Replacement
When a Bloomington roof is on its second or third covering, tear-off shows the decking and the layer count. We photograph what we find and explain it before any new material goes on.
- Metal Roofing
Small corrugated shelters, sheds and barns on Bloomington's rural lots are often metal. Loose screws, worn washers and lifted ridge caps are the usual faults, and each building is priced as its own roof.
- Roof Coating
Bloomington averages highs of 94°F in July and August, which cooks flat sections on additions and garages. A coating can suit a sound, dry roof, but wet insulation rules it out until we have looked.
- Emergency Roof Repair
January is Bloomington's wettest month, and a stained ceiling then cannot wait long. At 79 miles from Van Nuys we cannot promise speed, so we advise on tarping by phone, then set the earliest visit we can.
