You stop worrying every time the wind picks up during fire season. Your insurance company stops sending threatening letters about coverage. Your energy bills drop because your roof reflects heat instead of absorbing it.
That’s what happens when you install Class A fire-resistant roofing materials designed for the Santa Cruz Mountains. Metal roofing, concrete tile, and fire-resistant asphalt shingles don’t just sit there—they actively protect your home from airborne embers that travel miles ahead of wildfires.
Your property value stays protected. Many homeowners in Lexington Hills, CA see insurance premium reductions between 5-15% with properly installed fire-resistant roofs. Some carriers won’t even write policies anymore without proof of recent roof inspections or upgraded materials. You’re not just fixing a roof—you’re maintaining insurability in a market where major carriers are pulling out of California entirely.
All Fresh Temp is a family-run roofing company serving Lexington Hills, CA and the surrounding Santa Cruz Mountains. We’ve spent over 15 years learning what works in wildfire country and what doesn’t.
We know the California Building Code requirements. We understand WUI regulations and what CAL FIRE actually looks for during inspections. We’ve worked through the insurance claims process enough times to know exactly what documentation your carrier needs.
You’ll talk to the same people from estimate to completion. We show up when we say we will, explain what we’re seeing on your roof, and give you options without pressure. If you have an emergency—a leak during a storm, wind damage, or urgent repairs—we’re available 24/7 because we know roofing emergencies don’t wait for business hours.
We start with a thorough roof inspection. Not a quick glance from the driveway—an actual assessment where we check for fire vulnerabilities, structural issues, and code compliance problems that could affect your insurance or resale value.
You get a detailed explanation of what we found and what your options are. We walk through material choices based on your home’s specific exposure to wildfire risk, your budget, and how long you plan to stay in the property. Metal roofing lasts 50+ years with minimal maintenance. Concrete tile offers excellent fire resistance and holds up well in high winds. Fire-resistant asphalt shingles cost less upfront but need replacement sooner.
Once you decide, we handle permits and make sure everything meets local Lexington Hills, CA requirements and California’s Cool Roof Code for energy efficiency. Our installers work quickly without cutting corners. We clean up completely when we’re done. You get documentation for your insurance company and warranty information for your records.

You’re in a community where the median home value is $1,176,900 and 84.6% of residents own their homes. Your roof isn’t just overhead protection—it’s a critical component of your property’s value and insurability.
We install Class A fire-resistant materials that meet California’s strictest wildfire codes. Every installation includes proper ventilation, fire-resistant underlayment, and ember-resistant edge details that most roofers skip. These aren’t upgrades—they’re standard because your location demands them.
You get a roof designed for the specific challenges of Lexington Hills, CA: steep slopes, heavy tree coverage, and proximity to wildland areas. We account for the wind patterns that funnel through the Santa Cruz Mountains and the ember exposure that comes from being surrounded by dense vegetation. Your roof gets built to handle what actually happens here, not what works in flat suburban neighborhoods.
Emergency repairs are available immediately when you need them. Leaks don’t wait, and neither do we. You’ll have our direct contact information and can reach someone who can actually help you—not a call center three states away.
Most insurance carriers in California now offer premium reductions between 5-15% for homes with Class A fire-resistant roofing materials. Some companies require these materials as a condition of coverage in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones like Lexington Hills, CA.
Your actual savings depend on your specific carrier and policy. Some insurers also require proof of recent roof inspections or won’t cover roofs older than 15-20 years regardless of condition. The bigger issue isn’t just saving money—it’s maintaining coverage at all. Major carriers including State Farm and Allstate have stopped writing new homeowner policies in California or dropped existing customers in high-risk areas.
A properly documented fire-resistant roof installation gives you leverage when shopping for coverage and proof of mitigation efforts that many carriers now require. Keep all your installation records, material specifications, and inspection reports. You’ll need them.
Metal roofing typically lasts 50+ years with minimal maintenance in the Santa Cruz Mountains climate. Traditional asphalt shingles last 15-20 years before needing replacement, even with proper care.
The upfront cost difference is significant—metal roofing costs roughly 2-3 times more than asphalt shingles for materials and installation. But you’re comparing one roof that lasts half a century to asphalt that you’ll replace 2-3 times in the same period. Metal roofs also reflect heat away from your home during summer, reducing cooling costs. They’re non-combustible, which matters in wildfire country.
Concrete or clay tile falls somewhere in between. Tile roofs last 40-50 years and offer excellent fire resistance, but they’re heavy and require structural support that not all homes have. We assess your home’s framing during inspection to determine what materials your structure can actually support safely.
You’re subject to California Building Code requirements, Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) regulations, and Santa Clara County’s specific fire safety standards. All new roofing in Lexington Hills, CA must use Class A fire-rated materials—the highest fire resistance rating available.
California’s Cool Roof Code requires reflective roofing materials that reduce heat absorption and lower energy consumption. This applies to both residential and commercial properties. Your roof must also have proper ventilation that doesn’t create ember entry points during wildfires.
WUI codes address the edge details, underlayment, and valley construction that determine whether your roof survives ember exposure. These aren’t suggestions—they’re legal requirements that affect your certificate of occupancy and insurance coverage. We handle all permit applications and make sure your installation passes inspection the first time. You don’t want to deal with correction notices or delayed final approval because something wasn’t built to code.
We offer 24/7 emergency response for urgent roofing issues in Lexington Hills, CA. If you have an active leak, storm damage, or structural concerns that can’t wait, we can typically get someone to your property the same day you call.
Emergency repairs focus on stopping immediate damage—tarping exposed areas, sealing leaks, and securing loose materials before they cause more problems. We assess the full extent of damage once the urgent situation is stabilized, then provide options for permanent repairs or full replacement if needed.
Winter storms and high winds are the most common causes of emergency calls in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Trees falling on roofs, blown-off shingles, and sudden leaks during heavy rain need immediate attention to prevent water damage to your home’s interior and structure. The longer water sits, the more expensive repairs become. We’ve seen minor leaks turn into $50,000+ remediation projects because homeowners waited or couldn’t get anyone to respond quickly.
Choosing a roofer based solely on price. The lowest bid almost always means cut corners, substandard materials, or installation shortcuts that cause problems within a few years.
Poor installation is worse than an old roof. Improperly installed flashing leads to leaks. Inadequate ventilation causes premature material failure and ice damming. Skipped underlayment or incorrect fastener spacing means your expensive new roof won’t perform as expected. You end up paying twice—once for the cheap installation and again to fix it correctly.
The second biggest mistake is not verifying that your roofer is licensed, bonded, and insured in California. Unlicensed contractors can’t pull proper permits, which means your installation isn’t inspected and may not meet code. If someone gets hurt on your property during installation, you’re liable if they don’t carry proper insurance. We’re fully licensed and insured, and we can prove it before we start work. Ask any roofing contractor in Lexington Hills, CA for their license number and insurance certificates. If they hesitate, walk away.
If your roof is older than 15 years or shows visible wear, you’ll likely need to address it before listing. Many buyers in Lexington Hills, CA won’t even make offers on homes with old roofs, and those who do will demand price reductions that exceed your replacement costs.
Lenders often require roof inspections before approving mortgages. If the inspection reveals significant issues or the roof is near the end of its expected lifespan, the lender may require replacement as a condition of financing. That kills deals or forces you to handle replacement under time pressure with limited negotiating power.
A new fire-resistant roof is a selling point in wildfire country. Buyers know they’re getting insurance-compliant materials and won’t face immediate replacement costs. Metal roofing can increase home value by up to 6% according to recent data. Even if you don’t recoup 100% of replacement costs, you’ll sell faster and avoid deal-killing inspection issues. Talk to your real estate agent about what buyers in your price range expect—roof condition often determines whether you get multiple offers or sit on the market for months.
