COMPOSITION ROOF REPLACEMENT

Composition roof replacement is the most common large roofing project in Sacramento, Placer, and Sacramento County right now, and the reason is simple: the massive wave of tract homes built between 1995 and 2010 from Whitney Ranch in Rocklin to Anatolia in Elk Grove to Empire Ranch in Folsom is hitting end-of-life on the original developer-grade composition roof at the same time. Most of those roofs were installed with 25-year shingles that the original builder buried in the home price, and they were never installed with the full system components that would have made them last 30+ years. The result is the wave of failing roofs you see across the region today.

A composition roof replacement is a full tear-off-and-replace job. The old shingles, underlayment, flashing, and vents come completely off down to the bare decking. The decking is then walked, inspected, and any soft, rotten, or delaminated plywood or OSB sheathing is cut out and replaced. This step alone is what separates a real replacement from a quick re-roof. We have lost count of how many roofs in Anatolia and Whitney Ranch we have opened up to find soft decking under the original array, hidden under the original shingles for 15 years.

The new system that goes back on is the full GAF Lifetime Roofing System: synthetic underlayment across the entire deck, ice and water shield around every penetration and in every valley, new drip edge, new step and sidewall flashing, GAF Timberline HDZ or Designer architectural shingles, Pro-Start starter strip at the eaves, TimberTex hip and ridge caps, and Cobra ridge ventilation at the peak. GAF Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty coverage is available on qualifying roofing systems, subject to eligibility, registration, coverage terms and restrictions.

Permits and inspections are pulled in your specific jurisdiction (Rocklin, Roseville, Elk Grove, Folsom, Sacramento County, Placer County all have slightly different requirements) and coordinated with the building department. Material delivery is timed so the dump-truck and shingle pallets do not sit in your driveway longer than necessary. Solar panel removal and reinstall, if needed, is handled in-house under our SolarEdge certification.

Cleanup is non-negotiable. Magnetic nail sweeps are run across your driveway, walkways, and lawn. Debris is hauled off the same day. The job is not done until the roof is registered with GAF, the city inspection is signed off, and we walk the property with you for final approval.

Financing is available through multiple lender partners, including options with 0% promotional terms, fixed low monthly payments, and same-as-cash periods for qualified homeowners.
