The honest version
When you actually need a new roof
Most of this site argues the other way, and we mean it — a stain on the ceiling usually isn’t a replacement, and a tile roof with dead felt underneath usually isn’t either.
But sometimes it is. Two things move it from repair to replacement, and neither of them is age.
The first is that a repair won’t hold. There’s nothing sound left to fasten to or seal against, so anything you put down is sitting on something that’s already failed.
The second is structural. On one gabled roof we took on recently, the water had nowhere to drain and had been sitting long enough to break rafters. That isn’t a roofing problem you solve with better shingles. The framing had to be repaired before anything went back on top of it, and the job came in at $16,500.
Either way you see it before you decide. Every inspection is recorded, so the soft deck or the broken rafter is on video, not in a sentence on a quote. If somebody has already told you that you need a full replacement, it’s worth getting a second inspection before you sign.
Tile roofs
Tear off, or lift the tile and put it back?
On the 80s and 90s tract homes across this valley, this is the question that decides whether you spend fourteen thousand or thirty. The tile is the expensive part and it has decades left. What’s under it is what died.
So most of the time the answer is a lift-and-relay — the tile comes off, the underlayment gets replaced, the same tile goes back. That runs $14,000–$20,000 on a typical 2,000–2,500 sq ft home, against $25,000–$40,000 for a full tear-off with new tile.
Two things push it to a full replacement. Structural problems underneath, same as any other roof. Or the homeowner simply doesn’t want to keep dealing with tile — the weight, the walkability, the fact that a cracked piece is a leak waiting to happen. That’s a legitimate reason to change materials, and we’ll price both so you’re choosing rather than guessing.
Straight numbers
What a roof replacement costs
Material sets the range. Pitch, the number of roof planes, and what we find under the old roof set where you land in it.
| Tear-off and replacement | Per sq ft |
|---|---|
| Shake — foothills | $15–$20 |
| Composition shingle | $9–$13 |
| Metal | $16–$22 |
| TPO / flat, new construction | $5.75–$12 |
| Tile, 2,000–2,500 sq ft home | Typical total |
|---|---|
| Lift and relay — your tile reused | $14,000–$20,000 |
| Full tear-off with new tile | $25,000–$40,000 |
TPO varies with insulation requirements and Title 24 compliance, so it’s estimated per job rather than quoted off a table. Every price we give you is written and flat-rate before work begins — if we find something under the old roof, you hear about it before it becomes a number.
What three days looks like
A 2,000 sq ft roof, start to finish
Bigger and more complicated roofs take longer. This is the shape of a standard one.
Day one — demo
The old roof comes off and goes straight into the trailer. By the end of the day the deck is bare and we can see everything that was hidden under there.
Day two — inspection and repairs
Inspection, materials on site, and any wood repairs. This is where a soft deck or a broken rafter gets dealt with properly instead of covered over.
Day three — installation
Underlayment, flashings, valleys, and the new roof goes on. Then cleanup, and we don’t leave until the job is done.
Your house, while it’s happening
You don’t have to go anywhere
Nobody moves out. You stay in the house for the whole thing.
What we ask is one day of parking on the street, so the driveway is clear for the trailer and nothing lands on your car. If the garage has to be open we cover what’s in it. The yard gets tarped, plants get covered, and the property gets protected before the first piece of roof comes off — not after somebody notices a problem.
Crews start at seven in the morning. That’s what the residential noise rules allow, and it’s the only way a tear-off finishes before the afternoon heat. It is genuinely loud on day one. We’d rather tell you that now than have you find out at 7:05.
Cleanup happens as we go, not just at the end. The same crew is there from the first day to the last, so nobody is being handed your house halfway through.
What we don’t skip
The part you’ll never see decides how long it lasts
A new roof looks identical on day one whether it was done properly or not. The difference shows up in year twelve.
Ventilation
Intake low, exhaust high, to code. Ridge vents with nothing feeding them from the eave don’t ventilate anything — they just look like it. Getting this right is what keeps the next underlayment from cooking, which is the actual reason most roofs here fail early. It isn’t an upsell, it’s part of the roof.
The deck
We don’t cover anything up. Dry rot, delamination, a broken rafter — you see it on video the day it’s exposed, before it turns into a change order.
Fasteners
Crews regulate gun pressure to the temperature they’re working in. A nail overdriven or standing proud is a fastener that failed the day it went in, and nobody will ever see it.
The corrections nobody quotes for
Crickets and saddles behind chimneys, water being dumped against a wall instead of into a gutter, an overhang too short to throw water clear of the fascia. Those are the reasons roofs fail early, and a replacement is the one chance to fix them.
What else is up there
Package units come up and go back, and while the unit is off we can see the ductwork — worth knowing about either way. Solar panels get removed and reset by us, electrical included, so one company owns the whole job instead of three pointing at each other.

“The crew worked in a very structured way, laying out materials neatly and keeping the site organized. There was some noise early in the morning that caught me off guard, but it settled into a steady routine after that… The final result looks clean and even, and the house feels noticeably cooler during afternoon heat compared to before.”
“Carlos came out and gave us a detailed on site estimate with clear pricing and explanations… I’m so grateful to have a company that didn’t take the check then not communicate or show up for days.”
“Angel and Antonio are efficient with a great work ethic. Antonio the project manager is communicative and you are given frequent updates until completion of job.”

Frequently asked questions
How long does a roof replacement take?
Three days for a standard 2,000 sq ft roof. Day one is demo, day two is inspection, materials and any wood repairs, day three is installation and cleanup. Bigger roofs, steeper pitches and more roof planes take longer, and we’ll tell you the number before we start rather than after.
Do we have to move out?
No. You stay in the house the whole time. We ask you to park on the street for one day so the driveway is clear, and if the garage has to be open we cover what’s inside. The yard is tarped and plants are covered before anything comes off the roof.
What time do the crews start?
Seven in the morning, which is what residential noise rules allow. Day one is genuinely loud — it’s a tear-off. Starting early is also how the work gets done before the afternoon heat, which matters for both the crew and the materials.
My roof is tile. Do I need a full replacement or can the tile be reused?
Usually it can be reused. On most Central Valley tract homes the tile is fine and only the underlayment has failed, which is a lift-and-relay at $14,000–$20,000 rather than $25,000–$40,000 for a full tear-off. It becomes a replacement when there are structural problems underneath, or when you’d rather not keep dealing with tile at all. We’ll price both.
What warranty comes with a new roof?
Ten years on workmanship as standard, with extended coverage available up to twenty-five depending on the system installed. We’re GAF Master Elite and Owens Corning Preferred, which is what makes the longer manufacturer coverage available in the first place.
What happens if you find rot once the old roof is off?
You see it before we touch it. Day two exists partly for this — the deck is exposed, we record what’s there, and any wood repairs get priced and agreed before the new roof goes on. Nothing gets covered up, and nothing turns into a surprise on the final invoice.
See it before you buy it.
A recorded inspection, an honest answer about whether you need a replacement at all, and a written flat-rate price if you do.
