Completed Roofing Projects That Showcase Our Expertise

Real Projects, Real Solutions from Across the State

Intro Quality roofing is about more than shingles — it’s about durable materials, code-compliant details, smart ventilation, and contractors who solve real problems. Below are five projects from our California portfolio that highlight the range of roofs we install and repair: residential replacements in wildfire zones, energy-saving TPO installs on commercial flats, historic slate restorations, sustainable roof systems with solar, and fast emergency repairs after storms. Each case includes the challenge, our solution, results, and photo guidance you can use on your website.

Project 1 — Fire-Resistant Residential Re-Roof, Santa Rosa (Wine Country) Overview Location: Santa Rosa (Sonoma County) Scope: Full tear-off, roof framing repairs, new Class A asphalt architectural shingles, ember-resistant vents, upgraded attic ventilation and synthetic underlayment.

Challenge The home had wind-driven ember damage and several areas of water infiltration. Local wildfire risk and new county ember-hardening requirements meant the homeowner needed a Class A system and improved attic protection to qualify for insurance discounts.

Our Solution

• Completed full tear-off to inspect and replace 12 damaged roof sheathing panels and reinforce rafters where needed.

• Installed synthetic underlayment, self-adhering ice & water shield at eaves and valleys, and Class A architectural shingles.

• Installed ember-resistant vents, continuous ridge vent and upgraded attic insulation/air-sealing to reduce wildfire entry points and improve energy performance.

• Coordinated permit filings with Sonoma County and provided documentation for homeowner’s insurer.

Results The roof passed final inspection, met local ember-hardening guidance, and the homeowner reported a faster permit turnaround and a potential insurance credit. The system is expected to last 20–30 years with routine maintenance.

Project 2 — Energy-Efficient TPO Re-Roof, Downtown Sacramento (Commercial Office) Overview Location: Downtown Sacramento Scope: Remove aging built-up roof, install 60-mil TPO single-ply membrane, tapered insulation for positive drainage, perimeter hurricane straps and new metal flashings.

Challenge An occupied mid-rise office building had an old, leaking BUR (built-up roof) that allowed heat gain in summer and rising tenant utility bills. The building needed a low-disruption solution that improved reflectivity and complied with local Title 24 requirements.

Our Solution

• Phased tear-off and install schedule working nights and weekends to minimize tenant impact.

• Installed tapered polyiso insulation to eliminate ponding, then mechanically attached 60-mil white TPO with heat-welded seams.

• Reinforced flashings at rooftop HVAC curbs and installed rooftop walk pads for maintenance access.

• Provided a maintenance and warranty package including seam integrity testing.

Results Post-install thermal imaging showed reduced roof surface temperatures; tenants reported noticeably cooler conditions and lower AC runtime. The TPO system carries a 20-year manufacturer warranty and is expected to deliver 15–25 years with routine service.

Project 3 — Historic Slate Roof Restoration, Pasadena (Old Town / Historic District) Overview Location: Pasadena Scope: Slate shingle restoration and selective replacement, new copper flashings, re-secured roof deck, and matching ridge details to historic profile.

Challenge A 1920s Craftsman in a historic district had slipped and broken slates, failing flashings, and a compromised valley. Preservation guidelines required materials and methods that matched original appearance.

Our Solution

• Worked with the local historic preservation office to approve materials and details.

• Carefully removed and catalogued salvageable slates; fabricated matching replacement slates where originals were unavailable.

• Replaced deteriorated underlayment with breathable felt and installed new copper step flashings, counterflashings, and a custom copper ridge.

• Performed targeted sheathing repairs — avoided full tear-off to preserve historic fabric.

Results The restored slate roof retained the home’s original character and improved long-term weather protection. Homeowner and neighborhood association praised the sensitivity of the restoration; the roof is projected to last 75+ years with proper maintenance.

Project 4 — Sustainable Roof System with Solar & Cool Roof Coating, Encinitas (Coastal San Diego) Overview Location: Encinitas Scope: Lightweight synthetic tile over new roof deck sheathing, silicone reflective roof coating on flat garage roof, installation of PV mounts and solar array.

Challenge Homeowners wanted a low-maintenance coastal roof that supported a 6.5 kW solar array, reduced cooling loads, and used materials resistant to salt-air corrosion.

Our Solution

• Installed a lightweight synthetic concrete-look tile to achieve coastal aesthetics without the heavy weight of real concrete.

• On the adjacent flat garage roof we prepped the TPO substrate and applied a silicone coating system for long-term waterproofing and ponding resistance; coating also boosts reflectivity.

• Installed stainless-steel PV mounting rails mechanically secured into blocking — coordinated flashing details to maintain warranty integrity.

• Used stainless and aluminum flashings and fasteners for coastal corrosion resistance.

Results The combined system improved curb appeal, reduced attic heat gain, and provided immediate rooftop readiness for the solar array. The silicone-coated flat roof provides excellent ponding resistance and will extend the membrane life, while the PV system is producing offset electricity.

Project 5 — Emergency Storm Response & Repair, Santa Cruz (Coastal Storm Damage) Overview Location: Santa Cruz Scope: Emergency tarping, temporary repairs, full replacement of compromised roof sections, flashing upgrades and gutter replacement.

Challenge An intense storm produced wind-driven rain and tree limb impact that tore a section of roofing and exposed attic spaces. The client was a small business that could not afford extended downtime.

Our Solution

• Mobilized same-day emergency crew to tarp and secure the roof to prevent further water intrusion.

• Performed moisture scans to locate saturated sheathing and insulation, removed and replaced damaged sections.

• Replaced damaged shingles with upgraded architectural asphalt shingles, installed new flashings and gutters.

• Coordinated with the business owner on staged work to reopen areas quickly while final repairs were completed.

Results The business was able to reopen within 72 hours after temporary stabilization; permanent repairs were completed within two weeks. Rapid response prevented structural damage and mold growth; the business owner emphasized the value of quick, professional intervention.
