We climb onto your roof, inspect every shingle, flashing, vent, and valley. We also check attic ventilation and insulation. You get a written report with photos and a clear recommendation. ### Step 2: Material Selection
We walk you through options for your budget and home style. We carry Owens Corning, GAF, and CertainTeed asphalt shingles, plus standing seam metal and tile from trusted manufacturers. All materials come with full manufacturer warranties. ### Step 3: Permitting & Scheduling
We handle all San Ramon building permits. We schedule the tear-off and installation to minimize weather risk — typically 2–5 days for a standard home. ### Step 4: Tear-Off & Deck Prep
Our crew strips the old roof down to the deck. We inspect for rot, replace damaged plywood, and install new drip edge and flashing. We use heavy-duty tarps to protect your landscaping. ### Step 5: Underlayment & Ice & Water Shield
We apply synthetic underlayment (lighter, stronger than felt) and ice and water shield in valleys, eaves, and around penetrations. This prevents water damage from wind-driven rain. ### Step 6: Shingle Installation
We follow manufacturer specs precisely — correct nail pattern, exposure, and overlap. Our crews snap chalk lines for straight courses. We install ridge vents and hip caps for proper attic ventilation. ### Step 7: Final Inspection & Cleanup
We walk the job with you, check every detail, and answer questions. We magnet-sweep the entire property for nails and haul away all debris. You get a final invoice and warranty documents. ## Roof Replacement Materials: What Works Best in San Ramon San Ramon's Mediterranean climate — hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters — demands materials that resist UV degradation and handle occasional heavy rain. - Architectural asphalt shingles: Best value. 30-year lifespan. Good wind resistance (up to 130 mph). Wide color range.
- Standing seam metal: 40–70 year lifespan. Reflects solar heat, lowering cooling costs. Excellent fire resistance. Higher upfront cost.
- Concrete or clay tile: 50+ year lifespan. Classic California look. Heavy — requires structural reinforcement. High wind resistance.
- TPO flat roofing: 20–30 year lifespan. Energy-efficient. Seamless membrane reduces leak risk. Ideal for low-slope roofs. We don't push one material. We explain the trade-offs so you can choose what fits your home and budget. ## How Long Does a Roof Replacement Take? A typical residential roof replacement takes 2–5 days, depending on:
- Roof size and complexity (valleys, dormers, skylights)
- Material type (metal and tile take longer)
- Weather conditions
- Deck repairs needed We give you a firm timeline in your estimate and update you daily on progress. ## Why Choose Sanramon Roof Repair as Your San Ramon Roofing Contractor? We've been serving San Ramon since 2005. We're a local family business, not a franchise. That means:
