Roof replacement is the process of stripping away your old shingles, inspecting the roof deck, and installing a brand-new roofing system. If your roof is showing signs of end-of-life wear—granule loss, curling shingles, or water stains on your ceiling—a full replacement is the smart fix. We serve homeowners across Novato, from Ignacio to Black Point, and we know the local climate: foggy mornings, heavy winter rains, and hot, dry summers that can stress any roof.
We start with a thorough inspection. We check the sheathing for rot and decay, look for sagging or settling, and examine the flashing around chimneys and valleys. If the OSB or plywood decking is compromised, we replace it before laying anything new. A solid roof deck is the foundation of a good roof—skip this and you're asking for trouble later.
Next comes the tear-off. We strip the old shingles down to the deck, haul the debris to a dumpster, and sweep the site clean. We use a nail gun for speed and precision, but we hand-nail where it matters. We install synthetic underlayment over the entire deck, and we add ice-and-water shield in the valleys and along the eaves—critical for those Pacific storms that roll through Novato. Drip edge goes on the fascia, and we make sure the soffit vents are clear so your attic breathes.
For shingles, we offer architectural shingles from trusted brands like GAF Timberline, Owens Corning Duration, and CertainTeed Landmark. These are thicker, more durable, and come with better warranties. We stagger the courses—starter course, field course, and ridge cap—so water runs off cleanly. Ring-shank nails hold firm even in high winds. And we install ridge vents at the peak to let hot air escape, which keeps your attic cooler in summer and reduces moisture buildup in winter.
We also handle the details that most people don't think about: flashing around the valley, sealing pipe boots, and replacing any rotted fascia or soffit. Everything gets inspected against building code, and we register your manufacturer warranty so you're covered for years. When we're done, we walk the job with you, point out what we did, and answer any questions. No surprises, no mess left behind.
Roof replacement is a big investment, but it's one that pays off. You'll notice lower energy bills, a quieter home, and peace of mind when the rain hits. We're a licensed and insured roofing company, and we're honest about what your roof needs—if a repair will do, we'll tell you. But if it's time for a replacement, we'll make it painless.
