Tile
Lift & re-lay (new underlayment)
Underlayment typically needs this around year 20 to 25
Flat & Low-Slope
Torch-down (modified bitumen)
Typical lifespan: 15 to 20 years
Metal
Standing seam
Typical lifespan: 40 to 50 years
Which roof is right for you?
Shingle is what we install most — architectural shingle is the dependable, affordable choice for the majority of Central Valley and Bay Area homes. If you're not sure, start here.
Tile lasts decades, but the underlayment beneath it doesn't. Around year 20–25 a tile roof usually needs a lift & re-lay — we take the tile off, replace the underlayment, and lay it back. That's the job, not a full replacement.
Flat & low-slope roofs use torch-down modified bitumen. It's what we install most for low pitch — on homes and on commercial buildings.
Metal — standing seam — is the buy-it-once roof. 40–50 years of life. Higher up front, lowest cost per year by a wide margin.
