When an aging roof system fails to protect the underlying structure, a simple patch job or shingle overlay is insufficient. For this residential property, Shield Guard Roofing was contracted to perform a Complete Re-roof with Shingle Installation and Dry Rot Repair in Folsom, CA. The project involved rigorous measurement and planning, utilizing aerial technology to accurately calculate material quantities for the sprawling roof. The home required a total tear-off to expose and replace severely decayed decking, specifically around heavy roof-mounted equipment, before installing a resilient, code-compliant new shingle system.

Our team commenced the project with a complete tear-off, removing all existing roofing materials down to the bare wood deck while meticulously protecting the surrounding landscaping and property. During the visual inspection of the exposed decking, our crew identified significant dry rot and structural compromise, particularly in a large section adjacent to the heavy roof-mounted HVAC unit.

We immediately initiated dry rot repair, cutting away the deteriorated wood to expose the rafters. Our skilled technicians then performed precise re-sheeting, measuring and securing robust new structural plywood to seamlessly bridge the gaps and re-establish a solid, level deck foundation around the HVAC unit and other vulnerable areas.

With the structural integrity fully restored, we applied heavy-duty TRIBUILT self-adhered waterproofing membrane along the lower roof perimeters and valleys to act as an advanced ice and water shield. We then rolled out premium GAF TigerPaw synthetic underlayment over the remainder of the deck, ensuring absolute moisture protection before staging the new shingles.

"We take pride in offering Folsom home owners honest, reliable roofing solutions. Not every roof issue can be solved with a quick fix—sometimes, a complete structural tear-off and thorough dry rot repair is the smartest, safest, and most cost-effective move for the long-term health of your home."
