Signs Your Roof Needs a Complete Replacement

It can be difficult to know whether your roof needs a simple repair or a full replacement. While a professional inspection is the only way to be certain, there are several warning signs you can look for from the ground that indicate it’s time to call us.

The Age of Your Roof Most asphalt shingle roofs are designed to last around 20-25 years. If your roof is approaching or has surpassed this age, it is likely nearing the end of its effective lifespan, even if there are no obvious visual signs of major damage or failure.

Curling or Missing Shingles Take a look at your shingles. Are the edges curling upwards or are entire tabs missing after a storm? These are clear indicators that the shingles are failing and can no longer effectively protect your home in San Ramon from water intrusion, making your entire structure vulnerable.

Water Stains and Leaks One of the most urgent signs is evidence of water inside your home. Check your ceilings and attic for dark stains, peeling paint, or active drips. By the time a leak becomes this visible, the underlying damage can be extensive and warrants an immediate inspection.

Roofing Materials We Trust for Your Home in San Ramon

The material you choose for your roof replacement plays a critical role in its longevity, performance, and appearance. At Sierra Roofing and Solar, we only work with top-tier products from trusted manufacturers like GAF, ensuring your San Ramon home is protected by the best materials on the market.

☀️ Asphalt Shingles Asphalt shingles are the most popular choice for a reason. They offer an exceptional balance of durability, affordability, and design versatility. Modern architectural shingles, like the GAF products we install, provide excellent protection against the elements and come in a wide range of colors to match any home.

☀️ Tile Roofing Ideal for California’s climate, tile roofing offers timeless beauty and incredible longevity, often lasting 50 years or more. Tiles are fire-resistant and energy-efficient, helping to keep your home cooler during hot summers. They provide a classic, upscale look that boosts curb appeal and property value.

☀️ Metal Roofing For homeowners seeking maximum durability and a modern aesthetic, metal roofing is an excellent option. It is lightweight, resistant to fire and rot, and reflects solar heat, which can lower your energy bills. Metal roofs can last for decades with very little maintenance required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a roof replacement typically take?

A complete roof replacement in San Ramon typically spans three days to a full week. The process begins with a day of preparation, protecting your landscaping and home while materials are delivered. The next one to two days are for tearing off old layers down to the wood deck, a critical step where we address any hidden rot. The main installation phase lasts two to four days and includes laying down new underlayment and expertly installing your chosen roofing material with proper flashing. The final day is dedicated to a meticulous cleanup and a final inspection with you. A larger roof, steep pitch, or weather delays can extend this timeline.

What materials work best for San Ramon's climate?

For San Ramon's hot summers and wet winters, certain materials excel. Dimensional asphalt shingles, especially "cool roof" versions, are a popular choice that reflect solar radiation to help lower cooling costs and meet state energy standards. For superior longevity and fire resistance, clay or concrete tile is exceptionally well-suited, offering natural insulation against heat and decades of protection. A premium option, standing-seam metal roofing, delivers maximum durability and the highest solar reflectivity for optimal energy efficiency. Each option varies in cost and aesthetic, but all three provide proven performance in our local climate.

Will I need a permit for my roof replacement?

Yes, a building permit from the City of San Ramon is absolutely required for a complete roof replacement. This process is a critical safeguard, ensuring all work meets California Building Code safety standards through mandatory city inspections. An inspector verifies key stages, from checking the wood decking after tear-off to confirming the proper installation of underlayment, flashing, and nailing patterns. Proceeding without a permit can lead to fines, issues when selling your home, and insurance claim denials. As your contractor, we manage the entire permitting process for you, from application to scheduling and passing all inspections, guaranteeing your new roof is safe and compliant.

I have solar panels on my roof. How does that affect the roof replacement process?

This is a very common situation we manage seamlessly. A roof replacement requires a "detach and reset" of your solar array, which must be performed by a licensed solar professional to protect your system's warranty. We coordinate this entire process for you, either by working with your original solar installer or by bringing in our own trusted and certified solar partners. We schedule them to safely remove the panels just before our work begins and to reinstall them once your new roof is complete, ensuring all mounting points are properly sealed and flashed to protect both your roof and solar warranties.
