A full roof replacement becomes necessary when a roof has severe wear, damage, or reaches the end of its expected lifespan. We start with a thorough inspection to assess structural integrity and material condition.
We remove old roofing materials carefully to avoid damage to underlying structures. Then, we install high-quality materials suited to Santa Barbara’s climate, focusing on durability and energy efficiency.
Key benefits include:
- Upgraded roofing materials
- Improved weather resistance

Our team ensures each replacement meets local building codes and manufacturer specifications.
Roof Repair Solutions
We handle a wide range of roof repair needs, from minor leaks to storm damage. Prompt repairs prevent further structural harm and costlier replacements in the future.
Common repairs include patching leaks, replacing damaged shingles, fixing flashing, and addressing drainage issues. Our technicians use appropriate materials to match existing roofs for a seamless repair.
We prioritize quick response times and thorough assessments to identify not only visible damage but underlying problems that could escalate later.
New Roof Installation
When building a new home or upgrading, we install roofs tailored to your preferences and local requirements. Our process begins with material selection, including options like asphalt shingles, tile, or metal roofing.
We consider factors such as durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetics. Our installation team follows strict quality controls to ensure secure attachment, proper ventilation, and waterproofing.
Every project includes a final inspection to verify the roof performance and compliance with county standards before handover.
Materials and Roofing Options
We focus on durable materials suited to Santa Barbara’s climate and aesthetic standards. Our selection balances longevity, maintenance, and energy efficiency to meet diverse homeowner needs.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are a popular choice for their affordability and ease of installation. They offer reliable protection against rain and wind and come in various colors and styles to match home designs.
We use high-quality architectural asphalt shingles that provide better durability and a more dimensional appearance compared to basic three-tab shingles. These shingles typically last 20 to 30 years with proper maintenance.
The material is also fire-resistant and performs well under the local sun exposure. Routine inspections and minor repairs can extend the life of asphalt shingles significantly, making them cost-effective over time.
Tile Roofing
Tile roofing is widely favored here for its longevity and distinctive appearance. Made from clay or concrete, tiles withstand extreme weather conditions and last 50 years or more.
Tiles offer excellent heat resistance, helping to keep homes cooler during Santa Barbara’s hot summers. They are also fire-resistant and require minimal maintenance.
We install tile roofs with attention to proper underlayment and fastening systems to prevent issues related to wind uplift and moisture. The aesthetic range fits well with Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes common in the area.
Metal Roofing Systems
Metal roofing provides strength and a modern look while delivering superior durability. We install various metal types including steel, aluminum, and copper, each chosen for specific benefits and budget considerations.
Metal roofs are lightweight, resistant to fire, mildew, and insects, and can last 40 to 70 years. They also reflect solar radiant heat, improving energy efficiency in warm climates like ours.
Our metal roofing options include standing seam and metal shingles, both requiring minimal maintenance. Proper installation ensures effective water shedding and wind resistance, essential in coastal environments.
