Sacramento’s climate is beautiful, but the combination of scorching summer heat and heavy winter storms can rapidly accelerate the deterioration of a home’s exterior. For this local residential property, an aging and compromised roof was no longer able to protect the home. Patchwork repairs were no longer a viable option due to underlying moisture damage, failing shingles, and hidden decay. The homeowners needed a complete, ground-up roofing solution that would restore the structural integrity of their home, eradicate hidden damage, and provide decades of reliable weather protection.

To deliver a flawless and durable roofing system, our crew followed a rigorous, step-by-step process tailored to the specific needs of this Sacramento home:

• Tear Down/Off: We began with a complete tear down/off of the failing roofing system, carefully stripping away layers of old, brittle shingles to expose the bare wooden decking beneath.
• Old Material Disposal: Maintaining a clean and safe job site is our priority. We handled all old material disposal systematically, using designated dumpsters to ensure no debris or stray nails were left in the homeowner's yard or landscaping.
• Dry Rot Removal: Sacramento's wet winters can easily trap moisture under aging shingles. Once the deck was exposed, we identified significant fungal decay and immediately executed thorough dry rot removal, cutting out all infected wood to prevent the rot from spreading further into the home's framing.
• Structural Repairs: With the dry rot safely removed, we conducted essential structural repairs, replacing compromised rafters and reinforcing the underlying framework to ensure the home's roof structure was strong and fully load-bearing.
• Re-Sheeting: In the areas where the original decking was too damaged by rot or age to save, we executed professional re-sheeting. We installed high-grade, durable plywood to create a perfectly flat and secure foundation for the new roofing materials.
• Quality Material Run: Before the installation phase began, our project managers conducted a comprehensive quality material run, meticulously verifying that all shingles, ventilation components, and flashing met our strict performance standards for California homes.
• Underlayment: We applied a premium, synthetic water-resistant underlayment across the newly prepped deck. This serves as a critical secondary barrier against heavy Sacramento winter rains and wind-driven moisture.
• Product Application: The final step was the precise product application. Our expert installers laid down high-performance architectural shingles using advanced nailing techniques, ensuring superior wind resistance, optimal water shedding, and a stunning visual finish.
