The Discovery Phase
When a roof system's underlying structure is compromised, applying new shingles without addressing the core issue guarantees future failure. For this local home, we executed a complete Dry Rot Repair and Roof Shingle Installation in Orangevale, CA. The property featured multiple roof planes with pitches ranging from 2/12 to 7/12, and a large low-slope section over the patio. The project required a total tear-off to expose severe hidden wood decay, necessitating extensive structural rebuilding before the new weather-tight shingle and flat-roofing systems could be installed.

Our team began the project with rigorous first layer disposal, cleanly stripping the existing shingles and felt to reveal the original plank decking. Throughout the demolition, we maintained continuous material pickup and disposal to keep the property clean and hazard-free. Upon exposing the deck, we discovered massive gaps, severe wood rot, and compromised structural integrity, particularly along the eaves and in several large field sections.
Our crew immediately executed critical fascia dry rot repair, cutting away the decayed perimeter wood and framing in robust new lumber. We then performed extensive re-sheeting across the damaged areas of the deck using new structural plywood and OSB to create a solid, continuous foundation. To protect the large masonry chimney from water pooling, we designed and installed a custom chimney cricket. Finally, we rolled out GAF synthetic underlayment over the pitched areas and a specialized heavy-duty membrane over the low-slope patio roof, securing the entire structure against moisture intrusion.
"We take pride in offering Orangevale 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."
