Roof repair and replacement in Santa Ana, CA
A&J Roofing repairs and replaces roofs in Santa Ana, a short drive south of our Anaheim base. Santa Ana has some of the oldest housing in Orange County, so many jobs here start with the wood deck: board sheathing, past overlays, and patches from several decades of repairs.
Older roofs, older decks
Santa Ana’s historic neighborhoods, like Floral Park, French Park and Wilshire Square, are full of homes from the early and middle 20th century. Many were built with solid board decking. It is strong, but it has gaps between the boards and decades of nail holes, and it needs checking before new roofing goes on.
Older houses also tend to carry history on the roof: an extra layer of shingle, a flat section that was added later, or a patio cover tied in by hand. We count the layers and trace each tie-in before we price, because that is where the surprises live.
Character homes and post-war tracts
Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Revival homes and small Victorians sit in the older neighborhoods, while large parts of the city are post-war tract housing. Homes in a designated historic district can need city review for visible changes, including roofing material, so we check before the order goes in.

Roofing questions from Santa Ana
Can you re-roof a historic Santa Ana home?
Yes. Homes in a designated historic district may need city review for visible changes, including roof material and color. We help you choose a material that fits the house and the review.
What if my Santa Ana house has board decking instead of plywood?
Board decking can stay in many cases. We check it once the old roof is off and replace damaged boards, or add a layer of sheathing if the gaps are too wide for the new roof.
