When a roof begins to age, the underlying wood structure is often compromised before the interior of the home ever shows a leak. This residential property in Roseville, CA required our immediate attention due to an aging roofing system and hidden structural damage. Shield Guard Roofing was called in to strip the old materials down to the bones and rebuild a weather-tight, durable roof that could withstand the distinct shifts of Northern California weather.

Our expert team began with a complete first layer disposal, safely tearing off the old materials and removing the debris through our dump wood process. The home featured a varied roof pitch, requiring a precise install with a tear-off ranging from 2/12 to 7/12 slopes.

During the inspection of the exposed decking, we discovered significant fascia dry rot. To ensure a structurally sound foundation, we replaced the damaged sections using premium 2 in. x 6 in. x 16 ft. Radiata Pine, secured firmly with 2-3/8 in. exterior galvanized ring shank framing nails. We then installed fresh generic plywood decking to create a flawless base. To protect vulnerable areas from future water intrusion, we built a custom chimney cricket to divert water effectively, and finished the perimeter with durable 1-7/8 in. galvanized steel drip edge flashing.

"We take pride in offering Roseville homeowners 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."
