Roofing in Ontario: the local picture
Lots are larger here, and roofs tend to be bigger than the national average as a result. With a population near 185,285, Ontario covers about 62 square miles of San Bernardino County. It sits well inland, so the weather that matters is temperature and rainfall rather than salt.
The thing roofers see most often in this market is the autumn offshore winds, which find anything already loose. These winds are not constant, which is the problem. A roof gets nine quiet months and then one night at fifty miles an hour, and whatever was marginal goes.
Close behind that: ember intrusion through vents and open eaves. Most houses lost to wildfire are lost to embers arriving ahead of the fire, not to the fire itself.
A contractor who works this area will already know all of it. That is most of the argument for using a local one.
