Roofing Services

The best product for your home within your budget, in four systems.

  • Gables and dormers of a historic home with new shingles

    Most popular choice

    Asphalt Shingle Roofs

    The widest range of colours and the best value per year of service. Algae-resistant lines for coastal homes and heat-rated products inland.

  • A Valley Center home with an Eagle concrete tile roof

    Longest-lasting surface

    Concrete & Clay Tile

    Suits the Spanish and Mediterranean homes across the county, and outlasts the underlayment beneath it by decades.

  • A San Diego home with a vertical-seam Galvalume metal roof

    Best fire performance

    Metal Roofs

    Standing-seam panels shrug off wind and embers along the foothill edges, and reflective finishes hold attic heat down.

  • Solar panels on a concrete tile roof in Valley Center

    Integrated, not racked

    GAF Solar

    Timberline Solar shingles nail down as part of the roof. Pairing solar with a re-roof avoids paying twice to work the same surface.

Beyond a Full Replacement

On a tile roof, the tile is rarely what fails. The underlayment is the real waterproof layer, and older felt gives out around 20 to 30 years. A full tear-off is often not the answer.

Ask About a Lift and Relay
  • Roof Replacements

    Material options and budget walked through openly, then permitting and the install from tear-off to final cleanup.

  • Tile Lift & Relay

    Existing tile lifted, failed underlayment and flashings replaced, the original tile relaid. Same look, new waterproofing.

  • Leak Diagnosis & Inspection

    The actual entry point found, instead of patching the nearest suspicious spot.

  • Dry Rot, Fascia & Termite Repair

    Compromised fascia, sheathing and framing repaired, so the new roof lands on sound wood.

  • Low Slope & Flat Sections

    Patios, additions, porticos and carports detailed with membrane systems, so the flat-to-pitched junction stops leaking.

  • Radiant Barrier

    Low-E radiant barrier wrapping keeps the roof cooler and gives the air conditioning less work to do.

Matched to Your Microclimate

A roof twelve miles from the water lives a completely different life than one in an inland valley. Here is how we think about it before we ever quote a system.

  1. Coastal Corridor

    Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, Del Mar

    Salt air corrodes fasteners and flashings first, and the marine layer grows algae on north slopes.

    We spec corrosion-resistant fasteners and flashings, algae-resistant shingles, coated metal.

  2. Inland Valleys

    Escondido, San Marcos, Vista, Poway

    Heat cycling ages asphalt and bakes older underlayment brittle, and Santa Ana winds look for weak edges.

    We spec heat-tolerant architectural shingles or concrete tile, balanced ventilation, reinforced eave and ridge nailing.

  3. East County & Foothills

    El Cajon, Santee, Lakeside, Ramona

    The longest heat load in the county plus wildland-edge exposure, so the roof is part of your defensible space.

    We spec class A fire-rated assemblies, ember-resistant edges and vents, high-temperature underlayment.

What does GAF Master Elite mean for me?

Only about 2% of roofers earn GAF Master Elite certification. It gives you access to GAF’s lifetime limited warranties with the best coverage in North America.

Do I need a whole new roof?

Not always. On tile roofs the tile is often fine and the underlayment underneath has failed. A tile lift and relay replaces the waterproofing and keeps your original tile.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Sequoia Roofing, Inc. holds California contractor licence #897098 (C-39 Roofing), active since 2007, and is bonded and insured.
