Roof Replacement in Sacramento

It depends on the roof and package you choose. Residential workmanship warranties start at 5 years and go up to a lifetime workmanship warranty backed by the manufacturer. Your quote lists the exact terms.

Usually, yes. We usually recommend a full tear-off down to the deck. A new roof can go over the old one only if there’s just one existing layer, the deck is solid, and there’s no dry rot to repair. The catch is that a roof-over usually lasts about 10 years, far less than a new roof installed over a clean deck. On some flat roofs, a second layer can also trap condensation between layers.

Not always. Often the skylight is fine and the leak comes from the flashing around it, which we can repair. If it’s old and leaking, the best time to replace it is during a roof replacement or repair, but you can also replace it later if it’s not in the budget. We install skylights and their flashing from the roof side. We don’t do interior work like resizing the opening or drywall.

Yes, together with roof repairs and replacements. We don’t do gutter work on its own. We install 5-inch and 7-inch fascia gutters and downspouts, white by default, and can add gutter guards, most often LeafBlaster.

Yes, and repairs too. Financing is available for repairs and replacements on residential projects, usually with a $1,000 minimum. Options include $0 down with low monthly payments or a 12-month no-interest option. See our financing page.

On most homes we see, a new entry-level asphalt shingle roof averages about $17,000–$20,000. The price depends on the size of the roof, how steep it is, and the shingle line you choose. Every new roof comes with our lifetime warranty, and $0-down financing is available.

Most asphalt shingle roofs here last 20 years or more, but we've seen them fail in as little as 10 to 15 years. That's why the warranty matters. If you want to be covered when shingles fail early, choose an extended manufacturer warranty. As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractor, our new roofs come with a lifetime warranty backed by Owens Corning.

Watch for cracked shingles, fiberglass mat showing through where the granules have worn off, missing shingles, granules collecting in your gutters, and leaks inside the house. When those show up across the whole roof rather than in one spot, it's usually time for a new roof. We'll inspect it, show you photos, and tell you honestly whether a repair will still buy you good years.

Yes. We pull permits for every roof replacement, and our production team handles the whole process: pulling the permit, scheduling the city inspections and getting the permit finalized. You don't have to deal with the city.

Yes. If you have a leak under your solar panels or need a new roof, we can remove the panels and reinstall them as part of the job. Depending on your city or county, this may need its own permit. On average, removal and reinstall runs about $300–$500 per panel, not counting any changes to the roof attachments or other accessories. We don’t install new solar systems or repair panels.

Yes, and most of our customers do. It gets a bit noisy during work hours, but nothing about the job requires you to leave.

Yes. California's Title 24 energy code sets “cool roof” standards for new roofs and replacements. You still have plenty of choices: many shingle and tile products and colors meet the standards, and we'll show you options that qualify. Meeting the code doesn't add extra cost to your roof.

The deposit is never more than $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less, and it’s due when you sign. Progress payments are due at set milestones during the job, and the final payment is due when the work is complete. There’s a 3% fee if you pay by credit card.

Yes, our own employees do most of the work. We subcontract the tear-off, the demolition part of a roof replacement, so our trained installers can focus on installing your new roof, where it matters most.

We plan around the forecast. On replacements, we make sure the roof has at least its new underlayment on before rain arrives, which keeps the water out, and we put clear tarps over any open areas when needed. If we know rain is coming before we can get the roof covered, we don’t start the replacement. On repairs, we open only the area we’re fixing and close it back up the same day.

No. Most people are at work during the job, and some are even on vacation and come back when it’s done. To get ready: move cars out of the driveway, cover anything in the garage or attic you don’t want dust on, and take pictures and loose items off the walls, since vibration from walking on the roof can loosen them. Leave the side and back gates open so we can clean up properly. If you have a pool, cover it, because debris can blow in.

We haul away all the debris, run a magnet to pick up nails, and do a final walk-through before we call the job done.

We help you through it and give you the documentation you need, like product and color information. The homeowner submits it, since you’re the one the HOA authorizes.

Yes. We install ridge vents, solar attic fans, O’Hagin vents and other roof vents, and can upgrade both intake and exhaust ventilation, with a new roof or on its own. We pick what your attic needs or what you prefer.

Yes, blown-in insulation, together with a new roof. The R-value depends on what you need. We blow new insulation over the existing layer; we don’t remove old insulation.

Sometimes, case by case, when the other quote is a true like-for-like match. Quotes can look the same to an untrained eye, so we compare: the same general liability insurance (many roofers don’t carry it), a similar record of positive reviews, the same products and quality, the same warranty, and all new components rather than reused ones that can leak later. When it really matches, we’ll match it in most cases. Roofers with the same standards and products usually price close to us anyway.

Yes. We give every customer shingle samples and brochures. Just ask your estimator.

Permits and city inspections, tear-off of the old roof, haul-away of all debris and trash, and cleanup. Anything not listed in your contract is excluded. The most common extras are dry rot found during tear-off and any special city requirements or permits that weren’t known when we quoted.

It depends on the quote, but usually 7–14 days. Your quote shows the exact date. If material prices haven’t changed after that, we can often still honor it.
