Your roof isn’t just shingles and nails. It’s what keeps water out during winter storms and heat from cooking your attic when San Felipe hits those 90-degree days. When it fails, everything inside is at risk.
You need roofing services that account for what’s coming. San Felipe is projected to see 14 days over 92°F in the next 30 years—double what you’re used to. That kind of UV exposure breaks down asphalt shingles faster than most homeowners expect. Add in the fact that 28% of properties here face serious flood risk, and you start to see why proper installation and materials matter.
We handle roof replacement, repair, and installation with one goal: make sure your roof does its job for the next 15 to 20 years without surprise failures. That means proper ventilation to combat heat buildup, flashing that actually redirects water, and materials rated for California’s climate extremes. You get a roof that protects your home and everything in it.
We’ve been working in San Jose and Santa Clara County since 1985. We started as an HVAC company, but customers kept asking us to handle their roofs too. So we expanded—same family ownership, same approach: hire people who know what they’re doing and use materials that actually last.
Ramiro took over from his father in 2006 and kept the same standards. We’ve earned Diamond Certified and Super Service awards by treating your home the way we’d treat our own. That’s not marketing talk—it’s how we’ve stayed in business for over four decades in one of the most competitive markets in California.
San Felipe homeowners deal with unique challenges: intense summer heat, winter rain, strict building codes, and property values that demand quality work. We understand what’s at stake when you’re protecting a home in this market.
We start with a full roof inspection—shingles, flashing, ventilation, underlayment, the works. You get a clear explanation of what needs fixing now and what can wait. No upselling, no scare tactics.
If you move forward, we handle the permit application. San Jose permits typically run $300 to $600 depending on your home size, and yes, you need one. Unpermitted work shows up in title searches and can kill a home sale or get an insurance claim denied.
Once permits clear, we schedule the work. Most projects take two to four days. We demo the old roof, inspect the decking for rot or damage, replace what needs replacing, then install new underlayment, flashing, and shingles. Every roof replacement includes proper ventilation setup to meet California’s Title 24 energy standards—this isn’t optional, and it directly impacts how long your roof lasts.
After installation, we walk the property with you, answer questions, clean up completely, and hand over all warranty documentation. You get manufacturer coverage on materials plus our workmanship guarantee. If something’s not right, we come back and fix it.

You’re not just getting new shingles. You’re getting a complete roof system designed for San Felipe’s climate. That includes proper ventilation to combat the heat that sits on your roof all day during summer months. It includes flashing installed correctly around chimneys, vents, and valleys—the spots where most leaks start.
We use materials from manufacturers like TAMKO and Firestone Building Products. These aren’t budget options, and that’s intentional. Asphalt shingles in San Felipe typically last 15 to 20 years before replacement because of UV exposure and temperature swings. Cheap materials fail faster. You’ll pay more upfront for quality, but you’ll replace your roof less often.
Every project includes a full decking inspection. Roof replacements often reveal rotted wood from old leaks or inadequate ventilation. We don’t hide that cost or spring it on you mid-project. If we find damage, we explain what needs replacing and why before we proceed.
You also get complete permit handling, scheduling, installation, final walkthrough, cleanup, and warranty documentation. We manage the entire process so you don’t have to chase down inspectors or wonder if the work meets code. It either does, or we don’t leave.
Most residential roof replacements take two to four days from start to finish. Day one is usually demo and decking inspection. Day two and three cover underlayment, flashing, and shingle installation. Day four is cleanup and final walkthrough.
Weather can delay things—we don’t install roofs in the rain, and we won’t rush a job to meet an arbitrary deadline. You’ll know the timeline upfront, and we’ll update you if anything changes.
The permit process adds time before we start. San Jose permits typically take one to two weeks to clear, depending on the city’s workload. We handle the application and follow up, but the city controls the timeline. Once the permit’s approved, we schedule your project.
Yes. California requires permits for roof replacements, and skipping them creates serious problems. Unpermitted work shows up in title searches when you sell your home. Buyers will either walk away or demand you fix it, which means tearing off the roof and starting over—with permits this time.
Insurance companies can also deny claims if they discover unpermitted work. If your roof fails and causes water damage, you might be on the hook for everything because the roof wasn’t installed to code.
Permits aren’t just bureaucracy. They ensure the work meets California’s building and energy codes, including Title 24 requirements for cool roofing and proper ventilation. Inspectors verify the job was done right. That protects you, your home’s value, and your insurance coverage. We include permit handling in every project because it’s not optional.
Heat and UV exposure are the biggest factors. San Felipe gets extremely hot during summer, and that heat sits on your roof all day. Asphalt shingles break down faster under constant UV bombardment—you’re looking at 15 to 20 years of lifespan instead of the 25 to 30 years advertised in cooler climates.
Poor ventilation accelerates the damage. If your attic doesn’t breathe properly, heat builds up underneath the shingles and cooks them from both sides. That’s why every roof replacement we do includes a proper ventilation setup. It’s not an upsell—it’s how you get your money’s worth from the materials.
Winter rain also plays a role, especially if your flashing wasn’t installed correctly. Water finds its way into valleys, around chimneys, and along roof-to-wall transitions. Once it gets under the shingles, it rots the decking. By the time you notice a leak inside, the damage is often extensive. Proper installation prevents that.
It depends on your home’s size, roof complexity, and what we find when we inspect the decking. A straightforward replacement on a 1,500-square-foot home typically runs differently than a 3,000-square-foot home with multiple valleys, chimneys, and skylights.
Material choice affects cost too. We use quality shingles from manufacturers like TAMKO and Firestone because they hold up better in California’s climate. Budget materials cost less upfront but fail faster, which means you’re replacing your roof sooner. That’s not a good trade.
Permits add $300 to $600 depending on your home size. Decking replacement is extra if we find rot or damage during demo—that’s common in older homes or homes with a history of leaks. We give you a detailed estimate after the inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying for and why. No surprise charges mid-project.
Start with licensing. California requires a C-39 Roofing Contractor License for anyone doing roof work. If they’re not licensed, walk away. Unlicensed contractors can’t pull permits, and their work won’t pass inspection.
Ask about their process for permits and inspections. If they suggest skipping permits to save money, that’s a red flag. Unpermitted work creates legal and financial problems when you sell your home or file an insurance claim.
Check how long they’ve been in business locally. Fly-by-night contractors show up after storms, do cheap work, and disappear when problems arise. We’ve been serving this area since 1985—you can verify that. Look for companies with real roots in the community, not just a website and a phone number.
Finally, ask about warranties. You should get manufacturer coverage on materials and a workmanship guarantee from the contractor. If they won’t stand behind their work, don’t hire them.
It depends on the damage and the roof’s age. If you’ve got a few missing shingles or isolated leak, repair usually makes sense—especially if your roof is less than 10 years old. We replace the damaged section, check the surrounding area, and make sure the repair blends with the existing roof.
If your roof is 15+ years old and showing widespread wear—curling shingles, granule loss, multiple leaks—replacement is the smarter move. Repairs become a band-aid at that point. You’ll spend money fixing one problem, then another pops up six months later. Eventually, you’ve paid for a new roof in repairs without actually getting one.
We’ll inspect the entire roof system and give you an honest assessment. If repair makes sense, we’ll tell you. If replacement is the better investment, we’ll explain why. You make the call based on real information, not a sales pitch.
