What's hard on roofs here
Santa Ana winds off the mountains
The National Weather Service says Santa Ana winds can do the most damage along and below the coastal slopes of the mountains, which here means the Santa Ana Mountains and their foothills. In October 2017, during Santa Ana winds, Canyon Fire 2 destroyed about two dozen structures in Anaheim Hills. Down on the flats, the same winds lift shingles and shift tiles.
Fire zones in Anaheim Hills and beyond
Cal Fire's 2025 maps added about 300 acres to Anaheim's fire hazard zones, in the Anaheim Hills area, and brought Buena Park into the zones for the first time. In a very high zone, California law calls for at least a Class A roof covering when more than half the roof is replaced within a year. Check your address on Cal Fire's map.
Historic neighborhoods
In Old Towne Orange, the city's Old Towne design standards and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for historic properties guide changes, and projects can go before the city's Design Review Committee. Santa Ana has historic neighborhoods too, such as French Park. In these areas the look and material of a roof matter, so ask the city what applies before you choose.
