San Diego County
A full tear-off and a new roof system — tile, metal, shingle or flat — with a written scope, honest transparent pricing, and the owner supervising the job. Serving all of San Diego County from Encinitas. California CSLB #1153860.
Four roofs. One standard.
Tile Roofing
Clay and concrete tile — including lift-and-relay, where your tile is reused and only the failed underlayment is replaced.

Standing seam built for coastal air. The exposed-fastener shortcut costs less on day one and more every year after.
See details →Shingle Roofing
Architectural asphalt shingle — the workhorse. Honest numbers on what a shingle roof costs and how long it lasts here.
See details →Flat Roofing
TPO, torch-down and EPDM for flat and low-slope roofs. What actually lasts in the San Diego sun.

A written scope
What comes off, what goes on, what it costs. The quote price is the price.
Full tear-off
Down to the deck. Bad decking is repaired before anything new goes on — never buried.
New underlayment
The waterproof layer that actually keeps water out. This is the part that fails first on most roofs.
Clean finish
Flashing, valleys, ridge — detailed right. Old roof hauled off, magnet-swept site.
The difference a full
replacement makes
The roof on the right is the same house days later: new deck repairs, new underlayment, new roof. Drag the line to compare — then call and describe yours. You’ll get a straight answer on whether a replacement is even the right move.

Questions we get
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes take two to five days depending on size, material and what the tear-off reveals. You get a schedule before work starts, and the owner is on the job from start to finish.
What does a roof replacement include, start to finish?
Tear-off to the deck, deck repairs where needed, new underlayment, new roofing material, new flashing and vents, and haul-off. We published a full walkthrough on the blog — nothing on it is optional fine print.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in San Diego?
Yes, re-roofing requires a permit in San Diego County jurisdictions, and California Title 24 cool-roof rules can apply depending on the product and slope. We handle the permit as part of the job.
Repair, coat, or replace — which do I actually need?
Age, how much of the roof is affected, and the condition of the deck decide it. If a repair or a coating is the right call, that is what we quote. A replacement is recommended when it is the cheaper path over ten years, and we show the math.
