Roof replacement in Sacramento.

When patching no longer makes sense, we tear off the old roof, fix what's underneath and install a new one. You'll have the scope, materials and price in writing first.

GM Roofing replaces asphalt shingle and tile roofs for homeowners in Sacramento and nearby Sacramento Valley cities. A replacement includes tear-off, decking repair where needed, new underlayment and flashing, the new roof and cleanup. Every job starts with an on-site inspection and a free written estimate.

Signs it's time to replace, not repair

A replacement costs more than a repair, so we only recommend one when the roof has reached that point. These are the signs we look for:

  • Repairs are coming more often and costing more each time
  • Shingles are curling, cracking or missing across large areas
  • The decking has soft spots or the roofline sags
  • Storm or wind damage covers most of the roof, not one section
  • New leaks keep showing up after earlier repairs

What a roof replacement includes

We remove the existing roofing down to the deck and check the decking underneath. Damaged boards get replaced. Then new underlayment, new flashing and the new shingle or tile roof go on, followed by cleanup and a walkthrough with you.

Your written estimate lists the scope, materials and cost before anything is scheduled, so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Why Sacramento roofs wear out

Long stretches of 100 degree summer days dry out shingles and bake the underlayment beneath tile. Winter storms then find every weak spot. That combination is why roof replacement is one of the most common projects we do in Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville and the surrounding area.

Roof Replacement questions

How much does a roof replacement cost in Sacramento?

It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the material you choose, how many layers come off, how much decking needs replacing and permit requirements. We don't quote from the street or over the phone. We inspect the roof and give you a free written estimate with the full scope and price.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Many single-family shingle replacements take a few days on site. Tile roofs, larger homes, decking repairs and weather can add time. Your estimate includes a timeline for your specific roof.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Sacramento?

In California, reroofing generally requires a building permit from your city or county, and the work is inspected. We'll go over what applies to your property when we walk you through the estimate.

Does a new roof in Sacramento have to be a cool roof?

California's Title 24 energy code can require cool roof rated materials when a roof is replaced in the Sacramento area, depending on the building and the scope of work. We'll confirm what applies to your home and show you compliant options.

Do I need to be home during the replacement?

Usually not. We'll coordinate the schedule with you and keep you posted as the work moves along.

Will you haul away the old roof?

Yes. Tear-off and disposal are part of every replacement, and we clean up the site when the work is done.

Our process

    The work gets done
