Concrete tile in Redlands: the tile comes up, new underlayment goes down, the tile goes back.
Concrete tile lifted and new underlayment laid around the vent pipe.
The tile relaid and the ridge capped.
Redlands kept much of its early housing. The city describes the Smiley Park neighborhood as filled with turn-of-the-century bungalows, and the Census puts about a quarter of Redlands' housing before 1960, close to one unit in ten before 1940.
On a designated historic property, the city says a re-roof may need a Certificate of Appropriateness, and its design guidelines say to replace a historic roof only when it is deteriorated beyond repair. Check your home's status with the city before work starts.

Redlands lets roofing permits start on its online public portal, but payment has to be made in person, and applications are not processed until it is. The Building & Safety Division is at the One Stop Permit Center, 35 Cajon Street, Suite 15A, and the city publishes its own Re-roof Permit Application form.

Most of Redlands is in climate zone 10, where the cool-roof rule applies once half or more of a roof is replaced: at least 0.20 aged solar reflectance with 0.75 emittance, or an SRI of 16, on sloped roofs. One Redlands ZIP code, 92359, is listed in zone 16 on the Energy Commission's ZIP code list, and the 2025 code does not require a cool roof there, so check your ZIP code first.

Parts of Redlands are mapped Very High on CAL FIRE's 2025 fire hazard map. The city notes that state law does not let it reduce or ignore the updated maps when it processes permits. In a mapped zone, a replaced roof, or half or more of one replaced within 12 months, needs a Class A roof covering under the state's wildland-urban interface code.

Redlands homes have a median build year of 1976, the same as Riverside's, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey for 2020 to 2024. With half the houses about 50 years old or more, a full inspection before any quote shows whether the problem is the surface, the flashing or the deck below.
