California Roofing Code Requirements

California roofing codes are designed to protect homeowners, property values, and the environment. Whether you’re repairing a small section or replacing an entire system, compliance is not optional—it’s the law.

Permit Requirements: Most repairs over 100 sq. ft. require a permit
Title 24 Energy Standards: Roofs must meet energy efficiency rules
Fire-Rated Materials: Class A fire-rated roofing is required in most areas
Local Code Adjustments: Additional rules apply in wildfire zones and coastal areas

Roofing Compliance Tips

Homeowners don’t need to memorize code books, but they do need to hire professionals who work by them. Non-compliant roofing work can void warranties, result in legal penalties, and create serious safety risks.

Roof Repairs CA uses only California-approved materials and follows code-compliant practices for ventilation, slope requirements, fire resistance, drainage, and fastening. If your home is in a high fire-risk area or coastal zone, we also apply additional protections as required by CALFire and other state agencies.
