What's hard on roofs here
Very high fire hazard zones
Cal Fire's 2025 maps put most of the Santa Clarita Valley in a high fire hazard zone and a large part of it in the very high zone. In parts of the San Fernando Valley, the very high zone now reaches north of Ventura Boulevard. 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.
Santa Ana winds
Santa Ana winds blow hard through the Santa Clarita Valley. In January 2021 they brought a 30-foot eucalyptus down onto a Santa Clarita condominium and split its roof. Even without a falling tree, strong wind lifts shingles and loosens ridge caps and tiles. After a wind event, loose or missing pieces are worth finding before the next rain.
Postwar ranch houses
Much of the Valley is one-story ranch houses from the 1950s. Their long, low roofs cover a lot of area, and many started out with wood shakes. Today California allows wood roofing only if the State Fire Marshal has approved and listed it. A licensed roofer can explain which materials suit your house and your fire zone.
