Roof Replacement Services We Provide
Your home needs a roof that stands up to California's weather conditions, from intense sun to seasonal storms that test every roofing system. We provide complete roof replacement solutions that address aging materials, storm damage, and structural concerns with proven installation methods.
Complete Roof Tear-Off and Installation
We remove your existing roof down to the bare decking to inspect the structure and identify any needed repairs before new materials go on. Our crews protect your property throughout the tear-off process using tarps, magnetic tools, and careful handling that prevents damage to landscaping and siding.
After inspecting and repairing the deck, we install premium underlayment that creates a waterproof barrier beneath your new roofing material. Your new roof gets installed following the manufacturer's specifications to ensure maximum performance and warranty coverage for years ahead.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement
Asphalt shingles offer proven performance and affordability, which makes them the most popular choice for Orange County homeowners looking for reliable protection. We install quality shingles from trusted manufacturers in a wide range of colors and styles that complement your home's architecture beautifully.
Our installation follows precise techniques for nailing patterns, sealing, and flashing that prevent leaks at valleys, vents, and roof transitions over time. You get a roof that looks great and protects your home effectively for 25 years or more with proper care.
Tile and Metal Roof Replacement
Tile roofing suits Laguna Beach homes with Mediterranean and Spanish-inspired designs, providing beauty and durability that can last 50 years or longer. We handle the structural requirements for tile's weight, reinforcing decking and rafters as needed, before laying each tile with proper spacing and techniques.
Metal roofing delivers another premium option that reflects heat, resists fire, and withstands coastal conditions without corroding throughout its long lifespan. Both materials require specialized knowledge that our experienced crews bring to every installation for lasting results.
Our Roof Replacement Process
Detailed Roof Inspection and Assessment
We start with a thorough inspection where we examine your current roof's condition from shingles to structure and everything in between. Our inspector climbs onto your roof to photograph damage, measure dimensions, check ventilation, and assess decking, flashing, and all penetrations carefully.
This inspection reveals exactly what your replacement requires, including any deck repairs or improvements that should happen during the project. You receive a detailed written estimate breaking down materials, labor, permits, and timeline so you understand your investment completely.
Material Selection and Project Planning
After you approve our estimate, we help you choose roofing materials that fit your home's style, your budget, and your performance expectations. We show you samples, discuss options, and explain product differences so you make informed decisions about materials and colors.
Our team schedules your project around weather and material delivery, coordinating all permits and inspections required by local building departments. You'll know your start date, project duration, and what happens each day from tear-off through final cleanup.
Professional Installation and Quality Control
Installation starts with our crew protecting your landscaping, windows, and outdoor items using tarps and shields before any tear-off begins. We remove old roofing in sections, never leaving large areas exposed overnight, and inspect decking as it becomes visible.
Fresh underlayment, flashing, and your new roofing material get installed according to manufacturer requirements with multiple quality checks throughout. Our foreman verifies proper alignment, secure fastening, and correct sealing at all critical points before moving forward.
Signs Your Roof Needs Replacement
Age and Worn Shingles
Most asphalt roofs reach the end of their useful life between 20 and 25 years based on exposure and ventilation conditions. Shingles that curl, crack, or lose granules across large areas need full replacement rather than spot repairs.
Persistent Leaks and Water Damage
Water stains on ceilings, attic mold, or multiple leak points during rain indicate that your roof's waterproofing has failed significantly. Delaying replacement when leaks become frequent leads to rotted decking and interior damage that costs more than the roof itself.
Missing or Damaged Shingles
Wind can lift and tear shingles from your roof, leaving exposed areas that allow water penetration and accelerated deterioration of underlayment. When you see numerous missing shingles after storms, the entire system has likely weakened beyond effective repair.
Roof Replacement FAQs
How long do roof cleaning results last?
Most roofs stay clean for two to four years after professional treatment depending on environmental factors like tree coverage, coastal exposure, and local weather patterns. We offer maintenance plans that include periodic inspections and touch-up treatments to extend the time between full cleaning services and protect your investment.
How long does a complete roof replacement take?
Most residential replacements take between two and five days, depending on your home's size, roof complexity, and weather during installation. We work efficiently to minimize disruption while maintaining the quality standards your roof needs for long-term performance.
What happens if it rains during my roof replacement?
We monitor weather forecasts closely and protect exposed areas with tarps if unexpected rain develops during your project. Our crews work in sections to minimize vulnerable areas, and we can weatherproof the work zone quickly if conditions change.
Can you replace just part of my roof to save money?
Partial replacement works in limited situations where damage affects only one section and the remaining roof has significant life remaining. However, partial work often creates mismatched appearance and doesn't address underlying issues that may have caused the original damage.
Do I need to leave my home during roof replacement?
Most homeowners stay home during replacement since all work happens on the exterior of your property without interior access. You'll hear noise during tear-off and installation, but daily activities continue normally with minimal disruption to your routine.
