Roofing Service
Residential Roof Replacement
Complete tear-off and re-roof for Bay Area homes. GAF and Owens Corning certified installations with 25-50 year material warranties and a 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Your Roof Protects Everything Underneath It
When shingles crack, leaks start, or your roof approaches 25 years, you need a contractor who will tell you the truth: what's wrong, what it costs, and how long it takes. No upselling, no scare tactics.
We replace residential roofs across the Bay Area, from foggy Outer Sunset bungalows to sun-baked Walnut Creek colonials. Every project includes a full tear-off down to the deck, structural repairs as needed, and installation to manufacturer specs so your warranty stays intact.
What We Install
Architectural asphalt shingles (GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration): The most popular choice. 30-50 year rated, Class A fire, 130 mph wind warranty. Available in 20+ colors to match your home.
Standing seam metal (24-gauge steel or aluminum): 40-60 year lifespan, wildfire-resistant, ideal for hillside homes in fire zones. Higher upfront cost, lowest lifecycle cost.
Concrete and clay tile: Classic California aesthetic. 50+ year lifespan on properly engineered structures. We verify structural capacity before quoting tile.
Low-slope systems (TPO, modified bitumen): For flat or near-flat sections common on mid-century and contemporary homes. Fully adhered, heat-welded seams.
How a Replacement Works
- Inspection (free, 30-45 minutes): We get on the roof, check the deck, ventilation, and flashing. We photograph problem areas and show you exactly what we find.
- Written estimate (within 48 hours): Fixed price, detailed scope, material specs, and timeline. No verbal-only quotes.
- Material selection and permits: We walk you through color and product options, pull the city permit, and schedule your project within 2-4 weeks.
- Tear-off and install (1-3 days for most homes): Old roofing stripped to deck. Damaged sheathing replaced. New underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and roofing installed per manufacturer specs.
- Cleanup and walkthrough: Jobsite magnet-swept for nails, debris hauled, and we walk the roof and yard with you before final sign-off.
Signs You Need a Replacement

- Leaks or water stains on ceilings, especially after storms
- Visible sagging, soft spots, or exposed plywood
- Roof is 20-25+ years old (asphalt) or showing widespread wear
- Energy bills climbing despite HVAC being in good shape

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes are completed in 1-3 days of active work. Complex roofs (steep pitch, multiple valleys, tile) may take 4-5 days. Weather delays are scheduled around, not worked through.
Do I need to move out during the project?
No. You will hear noise and feel vibrations during tear-off and nailing, but most homeowners stay home. We let you know the loudest hours in advance.
What if you find rot or damage in the deck?
We photograph it, call you to the area if you are home, and provide a per-sheet price for sheathing replacement before proceeding. No surprise charges.
Do you work with insurance claims?
Yes. We document storm or wind damage with photos and measurements, provide the detailed scope your adjuster needs, and coordinate timing with your claim approval.
What about HOA approval?
We can provide material samples and color specs formatted for your HOA's architectural review. We have experience with HOA processes in Daly City, South San Francisco, San Mateo, and throughout the Peninsula.
