Cool Roof Replacement in Bloomington: what actually fails

Unincorporated means San Bernardino County reviews the compliance paperwork, not a city. The requirement itself does not change -- Bloomington is the same zone 10 as Rialto -- but the route does, and a contractor who has only ever filed with a city will be learning on your job.

Rialto is Title 24 climate zone 10, and the steep-slope cool-roof requirement applies in zones 10 through 15. On a re-roof covering 50% or more of the roof area, the prescriptive route needs a minimum aged solar reflectance of 0.20 and thermal emittance of 0.75, or an SRI of at least 16.

  • County permit route confirmed -- this is unincorporated
  • Every structure on the parcel, house and outbuildings alike
  • Long-span low slope checked for ponding between purlins
  • Layer count, because these roofs are often already re-covered

What it costs

Cool roof replacement cost in Bloomington

The honest headline is that this often costs nothing extra. Most architectural shingle sold in California already carries a compliant aged rating, and where it does not the premium is modest. And if your attic already has R-20 insulation, a radiant barrier or sealed ducts, a documented exception applies and the requirement does not bite at all. Two things move a Bloomington quote. The permit is San Bernardino County rather than a city, which is a different fee schedule. And larger parcels usually mean more than one roof, so expect an itemized quote rather than a single figure.

Typical$0 - $1.50 per sq ft premium
From$0
Pricedoften nothing, if an exception applies
Time on siteSame as any re-roof
01

The cheaper option, named

Adding attic insulation to R-20 is frequently cheaper than a product premium, and unlike the covering it lowers your cooling bill for the life of the house.

02

What makes it cost more

A dark color you are set on, a covering with no compliant equivalent, or low slope -- which needs aged SRI 75, a far higher bar than the steep-slope 16.

03

The number to insist on

The AGED solar reflectance from the CRRC listing. A product at 0.35 new can weather to 0.22, and aged is the only figure the inspector accepts.

Buildings in Bloomington

Roofs in Bloomington, and what that means for cool roof replacement

The thing to get right in Bloomington is who issues the permit. It is unincorporated, so a re-roof goes through San Bernardino County rather than any city -- a different application, a different fee schedule and a different inspector. Larger parcels also mean more than one roof on a property, and the outbuildings are usually the ones in worse condition.

Bloomington is unincorporated San Bernardino County, so its building permits come from the county rather than from a city building department.

Roof Replacement in Bloomington

Before you replace

Some roofs that get replaced did not need to be

This is a replacement company saying so. In this climate the most expensive mistake is buying the whole roof when the job was the felt underneath it.

01

A failed detail proves nothing about the field

A slipped course, a perished boot, a flashing that has let go: repairs, in the hundreds. Whether the roof is finished is decided by the covering away from the failure, and that is a separate thing to go and look at.

02

Sometimes insulation beats a new roof

If the complaint is an unbearable upstairs rather than a leak, attic insulation and ventilation will usually do more than a new covering -- and it happens to exempt you from the cool-roof requirement as well.

03

Sometimes the answer is replace

We will say so when it is, and it is the same piece of advice as the opposite one: worth nothing unless you are shown what it rests on.

Questions

Before you book cool roof replacement

The questions that come up, before you have to ask.

Questions

What homeowners here ask

Does a cool roof actually make the house cooler?

Meaningfully, on an under-insulated house in this climate -- it reduces the heat reaching the attic in the first place. On a well-insulated house the difference is smaller, which is exactly why R-20 attic insulation is one of the documented exceptions to the requirement.

Can I keep a dark roof in Rialto?

Sometimes. Some darker products carry compliant aged ratings and some do not, so it depends on the specific listing rather than on the color looking dark. The other route is an exception -- insulation, radiant barrier or sealed ducts -- which takes the color question off the table entirely.

What is an aged solar reflectance and why does it matter?

It is the product's performance after weathering, not when new, and it is the only figure Title 24 accepts. The Cool Roof Rating Council tests at three-year exposure sites because a shingle that leaves the factory at 0.35 can age to 0.22. If a quote cites an initial reflectance, it is citing the wrong number.

Who pulls the permit -- the city or the county?

It depends on the address, and people get this wrong constantly. Rialto, Fontana, Colton and San Bernardino are incorporated cities with their own building departments. Bloomington, Muscoy and Lytle Creek are unincorporated San Bernardino County. We pull it either way, but a contractor who files in the wrong place costs you a week.

Is it cheaper to relay my tile than replace it?

Usually by about half. A lift and relay is $7,000 to $19,000 against $26,000 to $52,000 for a full tile replacement, because the expensive part of a tile roof is the tile and you already own it. Most Inland Empire tile is concrete in profiles still manufactured, so breakage can be matched.
