Every Roofing Service We Offer in Concord, CA

• architectural shingle replacement
• second-layer removal
• roof decking replacement
• Class A roof assembly
• cool-roof rated shingles
• ridge vent upgrade during reroof

Roof Replacement in Concord, CA

Very few leaks start in the open field of a roof. They start where the roof meets something else: a wall, a chimney, a skylight curb, a vent pipe, a valley. That is where we look first, and it is why guessing from a ceiling stain wastes money.

• leak detection and water test
• wall-to-roof junction leak
• kickout flashing installation
• plumbing vent boot replacement
• skylight curb leak
• chimney counterflashing repair
• valley leak repair

Storm work here looks nothing like storm work on the plains. Concord does not get many summer cells. It gets winter atmospheric rivers: two or three days of steady rain, gusty frontal passages, and a 24-hour record of nearly four inches inside one December day.

• storm damage roof repair
• wind-driven rain intrusion
• atmospheric river roof damage
• roof dry-in after a storm
• moisture mapping
• fallen limb roof repair
• winter storm roof restoration
• documented damage report

• post-storm roof inspection

This is the page where we probably talk you out of something. Damaging hail is rare in the East Bay. Most of what gets called hail damage in Concord is not hail, and a contractor who agrees with you on the phone before going up there is selling, not inspecting.

• hail damage inspection
• hail bruising on shingles
• granule loss assessment
• thermal blistering vs hail
• spatter mark evidence
• soft metal test squares

Most shingles that come off a Concord roof were never stuck down in the first place. That sounds like a technicality. It is actually the whole story, and it decides whether you need four shingles replaced or an entire slope reworked.

• unsealed shingle repair
• hand-sealing shingles
• missing shingle replacement
• ridge cap blow-off repair
• starter course repair

• wind uplift inspection

Wind Damage Repair in Concord, CA

The right time to inspect a roof in Concord is September or early October, before the first real rain. The wrong time is whenever a door-knocker suggests it. And on a five-year-old roof with no leak history, an annual paid inspection is not something we think you should be buying.

• roof inspection
• pre-rain roof inspection
• real estate roof inspection
• roof certification for escrow
• attic moisture inspection
• sealant joint audit
• fastener backout check
• remaining roof life estimate
• solar-ready roof check

Asphalt shingles cover most of Concord, from the postwar tracts along the Monument corridor to the newer hillside subdivisions east of town, and they are usually the right answer. The choices worth having an opinion about are the mat, the sealant behavior and the reflectance. Start with the mat.

• SBS modified shingles
• 3-tab vs architectural shingles
• cool roof rated shingles
• shingle nailing zone
• starter and ridge cap shingles
• algae-resistant shingles
• shingle color selection

• manufacturer shingle warranty

Asphalt Shingle Roofs in Concord, CA

Metal is a very good roof in Concord and a bad one if the wrong system gets used. The dividing line is how the panel is fastened, and it is worth understanding before you compare bids, because the cheap version fails here for a specific and predictable reason. Metal moves.

• metal roofing
• standing seam metal roof
• 24-gauge Galvalume panels
• floating expansion clips
• exposed-fastener metal roof repair
• PVDF Kynar finish

On a tile roof the tile is not the waterproofing. The underlayment is. Once a homeowner understands that one sentence, almost every decision about a Diablo Valley tile roof becomes obvious, including the one that saves the most money.

• lift and relay tile roof
• tile underlayment replacement
• concrete tile roof
• clay barrel tile
• cracked tile replacement

Concrete & Clay Tile Roofs in Concord, CA

Most low-slope roofing in residential Concord is not a whole roof. It is a section: a flat-topped addition, a carport, a rear porch, or the deck over a garage that somebody framed at half a degree of pitch and hoped for the best. Those sections leak at transitions far more often than in the middle.

• flat roof repair
• low-slope roof replacement
• TPO single-ply roofing
• PVC membrane roofing
• modified bitumen roofing
• torch-down roof replacement
• ponding water correction
• tapered insulation crickets
• flat-to-pitched transition

• parapet wall flashing

Flat & Low-Slope Roofing in Concord, CA

Two opinions up front, because they will save you money. A coating does not belong on an asphalt shingle roof. And in Concord, if you are coating a low-slope roof, silicone is usually the right chemistry and acrylic usually is not.

• acrylic elastomeric coating
• metal roof restoration coating
• modified bitumen recoat
• reflective cool roof coating
• adhesion and pull testing

• soffit intake vents
• net free area calculation
• powered attic fan removal
• ember-resistant attic vents

Half the skylight calls we take in winter are not leaks. They are condensation, and the fix is not on the roof at all. Knowing the difference before you pay somebody to reseal a perfectly sound skylight is worth a few minutes of reading.

• skylight replacement
• curb-mounted skylight
• deck-mounted skylight
• skylight flashing kit
• acrylic dome replacement

Concord rainfall arrives in an awkward shape for gutters: about twenty-four inches a year, nearly all of it in a few winter months, with a one-day record of almost four inches. A gutter here sits dry for half the year, then moves all of it at once. That argues for capacity and for cleaning schedules rather than gadgets.

• gutter installation
• gutter replacement
• K-style aluminum gutters
• continuous-run gutters
• 6-inch oversized gutters
• hidden hanger installation
• downspout extensions and drainage
• gutter guards and leaf screens

Fascia rot in Concord is rarely a rain problem. It is a dew problem plus a paint problem, and it starts in the same three places on almost every house: the miters at the corners, the cut ends where two boards butt, and the strip hidden behind the gutter. The mechanism is undramatic and relentless.

• fascia and soffit repair
• rotted fascia board replacement
• soffit replacement
• drip edge installation
• eave and rafter tail repair
• fiber cement trim
• PVC fascia board
• soffit vent installation
• painting and sealing new trim

• woodpecker and pest damage repair

Fascia & Soffit Repair in Concord, CA

A chimney is a masonry column standing in a wood roof, and the two do not move together. That is the entire problem. Masonry barely changes dimension while a framed deck expands, contracts and settles, so any joint between them that depends on sealant alone has a short life.

• chimney flashing repair
• step and counterflashing
• reglet-cut counterflashing
• chimney cricket installation
• wall-to-roof flashing
• kickout diverter flashing
• chimney crown repair
• chimney chase cover replacement

• masonry chimney leak
• head flashing above windows

Chimney & Wall Flashing in Concord, CA

Honest first: from May to October, most Concord roofs that are leaking do not need a tarp. They need a repair scheduled inside the dry window, and paying emergency rates in August is usually paying for urgency that the weather is not going to supply. Winter is a different matter.

• temporary roof dry-in
• self-adhered patch membrane
• storm response roof cover
• fallen limb roof cover
• ballasted tarp installation
• interior water containment

• post-tarp permanent repair

Commercial roofs in Concord are a specific inventory: the mixed-use blocks around downtown, retail strips along the Monument and Contra Costa Boulevard corridors, light industrial near Buchanan Field, and office floors out by the BART station. Nearly all of it is low-slope membrane carrying a great deal of equipment. The equipment is where the money goes.

• commercial roofing contractor
• TPO roof installation
• PVC roofing for restaurants
• commercial roof maintenance program
• rooftop HVAC curb flashing
• walkway pad installation
• 60-mil vs 80-mil membrane

The most useful thing we can tell a Concord homeowner about roof insurance is this: most roof failures we see here are not covered, and learning that early saves you a claim on your record in exchange for nothing. California homeowner policies pay for sudden accidental physical loss. They exclude wear, deterioration and age, and that is what a thirty-year-old shingle roof with a brittle mat and cracked boots is.

• roof insurance claim
• storm damage claim documentation
• adjuster meeting support
• wear and tear exclusion
• actual cash value vs replacement cost
• supplemental claim for code upgrades
• claim denial second opinion
• photo and moisture documentation
• scope of loss review
• public adjuster referral
• repair versus replace determination

Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Concord and central and east Contra Costa County. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling roofing work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.

Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
