A failing roof doesn’t just leak. It drives up your cooling costs during Gilroy’s hot summers, threatens your home’s structure, and keeps you up at night wondering when the next storm will cause real damage.
When your roof works the way it should, you’re not calling for emergency repairs every season. You’re not watching water stains spread across your ceiling or dealing with mold in the attic. Your HVAC system isn’t working overtime to compensate for heat pouring through old shingles.
You get a roof that handles Gilroy’s weather without constant maintenance. Your energy bills drop because your home stays cooler naturally. And when it’s time to sell, your home value reflects a roof that’s actually protecting the investment underneath it.
That’s what proper roof installation in Gilroy, CA delivers. Not just shingles on a structure, but real protection that lasts.
We’ve been handling HVAC, plumbing, and home systems in Santa Clara County since 1985. That’s 40 years of showing up when we say we will, doing the work right, and being here when you need us again.
We’re expanding our roofing services to Gilroy because we’ve seen too many homeowners get burned by contractors who disappear mid-project or don’t return calls. You shouldn’t have to chase down someone to fix your own home.
Gilroy’s housing market is strong—median home prices around $900K mean you’re protecting a serious investment. With over 60% of homes owner-occupied and many built during the construction boom that’s now reaching roof replacement age, you need a roofing contractor in Gilroy, CA who understands what’s at stake. We’re licensed, bonded, and available 24/7 for emergencies because roofs don’t wait for business hours.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not a quick glance from the driveway—a real inspection of shingles, flashing, underlayment, and potential problem areas. You get a clear assessment of what needs fixing and what doesn’t.
If you’re moving forward with roof replacement in Gilroy, CA, we walk you through material options. Asphalt shingles are common and cost-effective, but metal roofing is gaining ground here because it reflects heat and lasts longer. We explain what makes sense for your home and budget without pushing the most expensive option.
During installation, we protect your property, remove old materials properly, and install your new roof according to manufacturer specs and local codes. That matters in Gilroy where building standards are strict and HOAs pay attention.
After completion, you get a warranty on the work—up to five years depending on the scope. And because we’re local and established, we’ll actually be here if something needs attention down the road.

Roof installation includes complete tear-off of old materials, inspection of decking for damage, new underlayment installation, and your choice of roofing material properly installed. We handle flashing around chimneys and vents, ensure proper ventilation to prevent heat buildup, and install new gutters if needed.
For Gilroy homes specifically, we’re seeing increased demand for metal roofing. It makes sense here—metal reflects the intense summer sun that beats down on homes, reducing attic temperatures and cutting cooling costs. It’s also more durable against the wind and weather events that occasionally hit the area.
Roof replacement in Gilroy, CA often reveals underlying issues that cheaper contractors ignore. Rotted decking from old leaks. Inadequate ventilation causing premature shingle failure. Improperly installed flashing that’s been leaking for years. We address these during the project so you’re not dealing with them six months later.
We also offer emergency repairs for storm damage, leak detection and repair, roof maintenance to extend lifespan, and consultations for homeowners unsure whether they need repair or replacement. Plus, senior and military customers get 15% off because that’s just how we operate.
If your roof is under 15 years old and you’re dealing with isolated damage—a few missing shingles, a small leak in one area, damaged flashing—repair usually makes sense. You’re looking at a fraction of replacement cost and you can get several more years out of the roof.
Full replacement becomes necessary when you’re seeing widespread issues. Shingles curling or losing granules across large sections. Multiple leaks in different areas. Sagging or soft spots that indicate decking damage. If your roof is over 20 years old and you’re calling for repairs regularly, you’re throwing money at a losing battle.
Here’s the real test: if repair costs are approaching 30% of what replacement would cost, just replace it. You’ll spend the money anyway over the next few years in repeated repairs, and you won’t have the warranty protection or energy efficiency that new roofing provides. We’ll give you an honest assessment either way because we’d rather have your trust than your money.
Gilroy gets hot—really hot during summer months—and that heat sits on your roof all day. Asphalt composition shingles are the most common choice because they’re affordable and readily available, but they absorb heat and typically last 15-20 years here before needing replacement.
Metal roofing is becoming more popular in Gilroy for good reason. It reflects sunlight instead of absorbing it, which can reduce cooling costs by 10-25%. It lasts 40-70 years depending on the type, handles wind and weather better than shingles, and many homeowners find it pays for itself in energy savings over time.
Tile roofing is another option you’ll see around Santa Clara County. It’s durable and handles heat well, but it’s heavy and expensive upfront. For most Gilroy homeowners, the choice comes down to asphalt for immediate affordability or metal for long-term value. We install both and can show you actual cost comparisons based on your specific home and how long you plan to stay there.
Most residential roof replacements in Gilroy take 2-4 days from start to finish. Single-story homes on the smaller end of that range, two-story homes or complex roof designs on the longer end.
Day one is usually tear-off and inspection. We remove old materials, check the decking for damage, make any necessary repairs, and get new underlayment down. Day two and three are installation of your new roofing material, flashing, and ventilation components. Final day is cleanup, inspection, and making sure everything’s sealed and secure.
Weather can extend timelines—we’re not installing roofing in rain or extreme wind because it compromises the installation. And if we find significant decking damage during tear-off, that adds time for repairs. But we’ll tell you upfront what to expect and keep you updated if anything changes. The goal is getting it done right, not getting it done fast and leaving you with problems later.
It depends on what you’re replacing and what you’re installing. If you’re going from old, dark asphalt shingles to new metal roofing with reflective coating, yes—you’ll see noticeable reduction in cooling costs. Metal roofing can reflect up to 70% of solar radiation, meaning your attic stays cooler and your AC doesn’t work as hard.
Even replacing old asphalt with new asphalt helps if your current roof has poor ventilation or damaged underlayment. Proper ventilation alone can reduce attic temperatures by 20-30 degrees, which directly impacts how much your HVAC system runs during Gilroy’s summer heat.
The bigger energy savings come from addressing the whole system. New roofing with proper ventilation, adequate insulation in the attic, and reflective materials where appropriate. We’ve been doing HVAC in this area for 40 years, so we understand how your roof and cooling system work together. A roof replacement is a chance to fix both issues at once, and most homeowners see the investment pay back over time through lower utility bills and fewer repair calls.
Yes, and we’ve worked with most major insurance carriers on storm damage claims throughout Santa Clara County. The process starts with documentation—we’ll inspect the damage, take photos, and provide a detailed assessment of what’s been compromised and what needs repair or replacement.
Insurance companies want to see proof that damage was caused by a covered event, not normal wear and tear. Wind damage, hail impact, fallen tree limbs—these are typically covered. Leaks from an aging roof that’s simply reached end of life usually aren’t. We know the difference and we’ll tell you honestly what your claim chances look like.
We can provide estimates and documentation to support your claim, communicate directly with adjusters if needed, and complete the work once your claim is approved. The key is acting quickly after storm damage occurs. Insurance companies want timely reporting, and leaving damage unaddressed can lead to bigger problems they won’t cover. If you’ve had recent storm damage in Gilroy, call us for an inspection before you file so you know exactly what you’re dealing with.
You get two warranties with quality roof installation—one on materials from the manufacturer and one on workmanship from us. Material warranties vary by product, typically ranging from 25 years to lifetime on shingles and 30-50 years on metal roofing. These cover manufacturing defects, not damage from external sources.
Our workmanship warranty covers installation quality for up to five years depending on the project scope. If something fails because of how we installed it—flashing that wasn’t sealed properly, shingles that blow off due to inadequate fastening, leaks from poor underlayment installation—we fix it at no cost to you.
Here’s what matters more than warranty length: whether the company will actually be around to honor it. We’ve been serving this area since 1985. We’re not a fly-by-night crew that disappears after the job. When you call with a warranty issue, you’ll reach someone who knows your project and can get it handled. That’s worth more than a piece of paper promising 50 years from a contractor who won’t answer the phone next year.
