Roofing Contractor in Homeland, CA, for Manufactured and Site-Built Homes
About two-thirds of Homeland’s homes are manufactured homes (1,724 of 2,623 units, per the Census Bureau), so a roofing contractor in Homeland, CA, first has to sort out which rules govern the roof. The state Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) sets the rules for altering a manufactured home, while Riverside County Building and Safety permits reroofs on the 858 site-built houses.
Licensed, bonded and insured, CSLB #1119699
Homeland is unincorporated, in Harvest Valley along State Route 74, with no city government. For a manufactured home on a private lot, published guidance does not settle whether the County or HCD issues the roof permit, so we confirm the agency with the County first. Overhead Roofing handles roof repair and reroofing projects in Homeland and schedules each inspection visit in advance.
Re-roof, roof-over, or coating: HCD's categories for manufactured homes
HCD’s Manufactured Home Alterations and Permit Guidelines (HCD MH 604, revised 12/24) sort roof work on a manufactured home into separate items, each with its own paperwork. The permit is requested on HCD’s alteration application, form HCD MH 415.
Re-roof, old covering removed
Permit; tear-off and final inspections at minimum
Pitched “California” or gable roof built over the home
Permit, plan review, and engineered plans; two inspections at minimum
Built-up or overlay roof
Permit, plan review, and engineered plans
Insulated aluminum roof system
Permit, no plan review
Liquid roof coating
Not part of the re-roof item

A tear-off re-roof is the simplest of these: the old covering comes off, an inspector checks the work at tear-off, and a final inspection closes the permit. A pitched roof-over adds a new roof structure on top of the home, so engineering and plan review come before any material is ordered.
Age shapes the choice. The 1970s were Homeland’s biggest building decade (1,121 units, 42.7% of today’s housing), so many homes here are about 50 years old, and we start with the deck and framing to see whether a standard re-roof will hold up. A liquid coating can extend the service life of a sound low-slope roof, but it does not replace a covering that has already failed.
The 858 site-built houses follow Riverside County's reroof guide
Riverside County Building and Safety (951-955-1800) lists re-roofing, commercial and residential, among the work that needs a permit. Its re-roof guide 284-034 (rev. 07/2021) sets three rules that come up often in a town where the median home was built in 1980:
- One overlay at most. A single layer of asphalt shingles may go over an existing asphalt shingle roof; a roof that already carries an overlay needs a tear-off.
- Tile needs framing plans. Replacing composition, roll roofing, or a hot-mop roof with concrete or clay tile cannot be permitted by mail; roof framing plans go in with the application in person.
- Class A in high fire areas. Re-roofs there need a Class A covering at minimum, and S-type tile needs at least one layer of 72 lb. mineral-surfaced cap sheet underneath, with its own inspection.
The state adds a fourth rule. Homeland is in climate zone 10 on the California Energy Commission’s map, so under the 2025 Energy Code (in effect since January 1, 2026), replacing more than half the roof on a site-built house calls for a cool roof product rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) on a steep-slope roof, or cool roof compliance on a low-slope roof. Exceptions exist.
Leak repairs, tear-offs, and coatings from a roofing contractor in Homeland, CA
The Census Bureau counts no Homeland homes in buildings of two or more units, so nearly every roof here sits on a detached house or a manufactured home. The work we take on:
- Roof repair in Homeland, CA: leaks at seams, vents, and flashing on manufactured homes, and broken tile or lifted shingles on houses
- Tear-off re-roofs on manufactured homes, planned around HCD’s tear-off and final inspections
- House reroofs, from a single permitted shingle overlay to a full tear-off with a CRRC-rated product
- Roof coatings on low-slope roofs that pass an inspection first

What Homeland owners ask before a manufactured home or house reroof
Who issues the roof permit for a manufactured home in Homeland?
HCD permits alterations to manufactured homes, re-roofs included, on form HCD MH 415. For a home on a private lot rather than in a park, published guidance does not settle whether Riverside County or HCD takes the permit, so we ask the County first and apply to the agency it names. That way the inspections are booked with the right office.
Can I put a pitched roof over my mobile home in Homeland?
Yes, with plans. HCD MH 604 lists a pitched “California” or gable roof added over a manufactured home as needing a permit, plan review, and engineered plans, then at least two inspections. HCD has a standard plan for this type of roof, available up to a 30 psf maximum.
Does a reroof in Homeland need a Class A roof?
It does in a high fire area, where Riverside County’s re-roof guide requires a Class A covering at minimum. Homeland sits between the Lakeview Mountains and Double Butte, and fire zones are mapped by location. On June 10, 2025, the Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to begin adopting the State Fire Marshal’s 2025 maps for unincorporated areas, so check your address on the Riverside County Fire or CAL FIRE map.
Does a small roof repair on a Homeland house need a permit?
Not always. Under Riverside County’s re-roof guide, no permit is needed when the work covers less than 25% of the roof, is no larger than 100 square feet, and replaces no sheathing or roof members. A repair beyond any of those limits needs a County permit. For a manufactured home, HCD’s list applies instead.
