Complete Roof Replacement Services
When repairs are no longer enough, a full roof replacement protects your home for decades to come. Our local roofing contractor network specializes in complete roof replacement, from tear-off to final inspection, using quality materials and proven installation techniques.
When to Replace Your Roof
Consider replacement when:
- Age: Asphalt shingles typically last 20-30 years, tile 40-50+ years
- Extensive damage: Multiple leaks, widespread wear, or storm damage affecting large areas
- Failed repairs: When repairs no longer hold or problems keep recurring
- Selling your home: A new roof adds value and removes buyer concerns
- Energy efficiency: Modern materials offer better insulation and reflectivity
Roofing Materials We Install

- Concrete tile: Durable, fire-resistant, many style options
- Clay tile: Traditional beauty, exceptional longevity
- Lightweight options: For homes that can’t support heavy tile
Metal Roofing
Growing in popularity for good reason:
- Longevity: 40-70+ year lifespan
- Energy efficient: Reflects heat, reducing cooling costs

Available in standing seam, metal shingle, and tile profiles.

- Modified bitumen: Proven performance for decades
Our Replacement Process
1. Detailed Inspection
We assess not just the roof surface but the underlying structure—decking, ventilation, and any signs of previous damage or rot.
2. Material Selection
Your contractor helps you choose materials that fit your home’s style, your budget, and local requirements (like fire zones). You’ll see samples and discuss options.
3. Written Proposal
A comprehensive estimate details:
- Materials and quantities
- Labor and timeline
- Permit costs
- Disposal fees
- Warranty information
- Payment terms
4. Permit and Scheduling
We handle permit applications with your local building department. Work is scheduled to minimize disruption and avoid weather delays when possible.
5. Professional Installation
Our crews follow manufacturer specifications and building codes. The process typically includes:
- Protecting landscaping and property
- Removing old roofing to the deck
- Inspecting and repairing decking as needed
- Installing underlayment and ice/water shield
- Installing new flashing at all penetrations
- Installing roofing material
- Final cleanup and debris removal
6. Inspection and Warranty
After completion, we conduct a final walkthrough. You receive all warranty documentation and maintenance recommendations.
Investment Protection
A new roof is a significant investment. Protect it with:
- Manufacturer warranties: 25-50 years on materials
- Workmanship warranty: Our contractors stand behind their installation
- Proper ventilation: Extends roof life and improves energy efficiency
- Regular maintenance: Annual inspections catch small issues early
Financing Available
Quality roofing shouldn’t be out of reach. Many of our contractors offer financing options to help manage the investment. Ask about payment plans during your estimate.
Local Replacement Expertise
Walnut Creek & Contra Costa County
Rossmoor: Replacement projects require MOD approval before work begins. We submit alteration permits to the Mutual Operations Division, coordinate material approvals, and ensure Zone Zero fire compliance. Expect 2-4 weeks for paperwork before installation.
Rancho San Miguel Eichlers: These mid-century flat roofs need spray foam (SPF) systems—not shingles. We specialize in foam application with reflective coatings that meet Title 24 and City of Walnut Creek energy requirements.
Northgate and Ygnacio Valley: Standard tract homes with 20-30 year old roofs are prime replacement candidates. We install GAF and Owens Corning architectural shingles with enhanced warranties.
Shell Ridge and Lakewood: Fire zone replacement requires Class A materials, ember-resistant vents, and enhanced documentation for insurance. We handle CAL FIRE compliance automatically.
Fremont & Tri-City Area
Mission San Jose: VHFHSZ requirements mandate Class A roofing. Wood shake conversion is our most common project—upgrading to fire-safe concrete tile or composite shingles.
Ardenwood and Newark: We use marine-grade flashings and stainless fasteners that resist salt-air corrosion for decades longer than standard materials.
Warm Springs: New construction homes often need warranty-period repairs or post-warranty replacement. We identify builder shortcuts and install quality systems.
Oakland, Berkeley & East Bay
Oakland and Berkeley Hills: Historic home replacement requires matching existing aesthetics while meeting modern fire codes. We source period-appropriate tiles and work with preservation requirements.
Lamorinda: Large estate roofs with complex geometries require detailed planning. We provide comprehensive project management for multi-week installations.
