Tilehurst Roofing is led by Greg Holloway and operates as part of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000. Every repair we do in Silver Lakes starts with a live person answering your call, a uniformed technician at your door, and a written guarantee that follows the job. No voicemail, no price change at the door, and no work that doesn’t match the neighborhood’s architectural standards.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Is Silver Lakes’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
We understand the Silver Lakes Association’s Architectural Review Committee better than most contractors, because we’ve had to. Before any roofing material or color can be changed on a Silver Lakes home, the ARC must approve submitted samples and color swatches. That approval comes before you pull a permit. Roofers who skip this step leave homeowners with tarped roofs and stalled jobs for weeks. We submit the swatch first, every time.
Our Silver Lakes customers tell us the same things after every job: the price matched what was written, the crew showed up in the window we gave, and the repair has held. The Kingswell Way is simple: say the price before the work, show up when we said we would, leave the property cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails. Those aren’t slogans here. They’re the reason people on these cul-de-sacs and lakefront streets call us back.
Because we coordinate from our Inland Empire office and serve Silver Lakes locally, we can typically have a background-checked technician at your door within 48 hours of your call, often sooner. Every repair gets a written guarantee before the crew leaves, not emailed later. And if a repair fails inside the guarantee period, we return at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. One full year of documented accountability on every job.
Commercial Roof Repair in Silver Lakes
Commercial Roof Repair in Silver Lakes covers the few low-slope and flat roof sections on community buildings, clubhouse structures, and larger custom homes near the lake. These systems fail differently than pitched shingle roofs. Debris collects, seams open, and the intense Mojave UV breaks down membrane coatings faster than most property managers expect. Repairs here typically involve patching membrane splits, resealing penetrations, and replacing failed sections around rooftop units or drains. Depending on the membrane and the scope, expect $650 to $1,900 for most commercial-style flat roof patching in Silver Lakes.
Flat and Low-Slope Repair
When a Silver Lakes flat roof starts ponding water after rain or a seam pulls apart at a scupper, we match the existing system using materials from manufacturers like GAF or Boral, then submit the spec sheet to the ARC if the repair changes any visible roofing surface. The written quote includes the full scope, so you aren’t dealing with a change order after the crew cuts in.
Penetration and Drain Work
Exhaust vents, plumbing stacks, and roof drains are the usual leak points on low-slope roofs in Silver Lakes. We replace rotted flashing, seal the collar, and rebuild the pitch pan where needed, using materials that can handle 105°F summers without shrinking away from the pipe.
Roof Leak Repair in Silver Lakes
Roof Leak Repair in Silver Lakes usually means tracing water that has already worked through a valley, a vent boot, or a failed piece of flashing, and then stopping it before the decking rots. Because many homes here were built in a concentrated window from the late 1970s through the 1990s, the original underlayment and flashing are now at the same age on entire streets. A typical leak repair in Silver Lakes runs $375 to $1,300, depending on whether we’re replacing a vent boot or rebuilding a valley.
Valley and Flashing Sealing
Valleys are where two roof planes meet, and they carry more water than any other section. When a Silver Lakes valley fails, the water gets into the decking fast. We strip the damaged shingles, inspect the wood, lay new ice and water shield, and re-install matched architectural shingles. If the color needs to change at all, we run the swatch through the Architectural Review Committee first.
Vent Boot and Penetration Replacement
A cracked vent boot is one of the cheapest leaks to fix and one of the most misdiagnosed. On a recent Silver Lakes repair, the homeowner had been told they needed a full reroof when the only problem was a dried-out boot around a plumbing vent. We replaced the boot, resealed the penetration, and saved them thousands. That’s the difference a hands-on inspection makes.
Trusted Brands We Service in Silver Lakes
We install and repair materials from seven major manufacturers, so you are never stuck with whatever happens to be in the truck. In Silver Lakes, most of our repair work involves matching GAF, Atlas, and Tamko architectural shingles, particularly on the 1980s and 1990s homes where the original builder-grade material has started to fail. Because a large share of these roofs are hitting the end of their design life at the same time, having access to multiple manufacturer lines means a better color match and a faster repair. We keep common flashing, underlayment, and shingle stock available for Silver Lakes jobs, and we can order exact-match materials quickly when the original product is still in production.
Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Silver Lakes Homes
- ARC approval oversights. Contractors who substitute a non-approved shingle color or brand without Architectural Review Committee sign-off leave half-completed re-roofs tarped for weeks. We handle the ARC submission first, so the job doesn’t stall.
- Algae on north-facing planes. Silver Lakes sits in the Mojave Desert, but the two man-made lakes introduce morning condensation and humidity that streaks north-facing roof planes with algae. It looks like oxidation from the ground, but it’s a different failure mode and needs different cleaning.
- Simultaneous street-level failures. Because so many homes were built in a short window, identical roofs on the same Silver Lakes street are now failing in clusters. We schedule and stock for those clusters, which keeps repair times shorter for the whole street.
- Builder-grade valley failure. On 1980s and 1990s homes, the original architectural shingles fail at valleys and penetrations first. Patching these with mismatched material is a common mistake. We match the existing shingle and replace the flashing so the repair holds.

FAQs About Roof Repair in Silver Lakes
Yes, in most cases. The Silver Lakes Association’s Architectural Review Committee requires material samples and color swatches to be submitted and approved before any visible roofing material is changed. If the repair uses an identical material to what’s already on the roof, the process is usually quicker, but we still submit the documentation to keep your job compliant. Call (945) 303-9821 for an exact assessment of your project.
Because the homes were built in a concentrated window from the late 1970s through the 1990s, the roofs are all aging at the same rate. A 30-year architectural shingle on a 1985 home is now 20 years past its realistic service life in the Mojave sun. When one fails, the neighbors’ roofs are often not far behind.
It can, if the wrong material or color is used without Architectural Review Committee sign-off. That’s why we submit samples and swatches before we order anything. A repair that matches the original spec and gets ARC approval protects your builder warranty instead of voiding it. Call (945) 303-9821 and we’ll walk you through the paperwork.
The lakes create localized morning humidity, and the north-facing planes get less sun to dry out. That combination feeds algae growth, especially on composition shingles that have already lost their granule coating. It’s a real failure mode here, not just a coastal problem. We can clean and treat it during the same visit as any other repair.
Line by line. Ask both contractors what materials they’re using, whether the color and brand have been submitted to the Silver Lakes Association’s Architectural Review Committee, what the written guarantee covers and for how long, and what the change-order policy is. The lower bid that skips ARC approval can end up costing you weeks of tarp time. Call (945) 303-9821 for a written estimate that you can compare honestly.
