What Roof-Repair Includes
Repair starts with a roof inspection and a written roof estimate. We map the failure before touching a shingle.
- Full decking and underlayment check, plus roof deck integrity
- Pipe flashing, boot flashing, and vent boot replacement
- Valley, ridge, and eave detail work with new drip edge
- Sealant, caulk, and roof cement at every penetration
- Debris haul-off by dumpster; magnet sweep for stray nail
Every roofing job ends with waterproofing checks at gutter and downspout before sign-off.
Quality & Materials Standards
Material choice follows pitch, substrate, and sun exposure. Steep gable and hip planes take architectural shingle or dimensional laminated fiberglass; low-slope sections need membrane like tpo, epdm, or pvc membrane.
Flat and near-flat areas may call for modified bitumen, built-up roof, or a polyurethane coating. Historic profiles sometimes want slate, clay tile, or concrete tile rather than three-tab shingle.
- Synthetic underlayment beats old roofing felt and tar paper
- Ice-and-water shield guards eave lines against ice dam backup
- Ridge vent and soffit vent pair for balanced ventilation
California building code governs sheathing replacement, fastener patterns, and fire-rated assemblies. Plywood or osb swaps require matching thickness and span.
Truss, rafter, and joist damage gets flagged during inspection. A sagging ridge beam or cracked purlin changes the scope of work fast.
We document everything for your insurance claim: photos, measurements, and a proof of loss packet. An adjuster reviews storm damage or wind damage, and we file a supplement if hidden decking rot surfaces.
Know your deductible, policy coverage, depreciation, and replacement cost before work begins. Claim documentation and honest mitigation steps protect you either way.
