Repair is usually right when damage is limited to a few areas and the rest of the roof is sound. Replacement is usually right when damage is widespread, decking is rotted, or the roof is at the end of its life. In between, aging but sound shingles may be candidates for Roof Maxx restoration.
Not every aging roof needs replacing, and we’ll tell you so. Our free assessment gives you a straight answer about which option makes the most sense for your home.
✓ Free assessment with photos of what we find
✓ Itemized written quote before any work starts
✓ Honest recommendation, even when it’s the smaller job
✓ Clean, careful work around your home and landscaping

Most disruption and waste
Different signs of wear point to different solutions. Here’s how to read them.
Isolated wind or storm damage is usually a repair job: replace the affected shingles and re-seat loose flashing.
Repair first, then consider Roof Maxx
Active leaks need to be repaired first. Once the source is fixed, we can assess the rest of the roof.
Repair required first
When decking is rotted or damage is widespread across the roof, replacement is typically the right answer.
Replacement may be necessary
A sign shingles are losing protective material. Caught early, rejuvenation can slow further loss.
Good candidate for Roof Maxx
Usually caused by oil loss from summer heat. If the structure is sound, rejuvenation is often an excellent solution.
Good candidate for Roof Maxx
Soft wash removes growth completely. If shingles underneath are sound, follow with a Roof Maxx treatment.
Roof washing first, then Roof Maxx
From a single leak to storm damage, we find the source and fix it right.
We trace water back to its source, not just the stain on your ceiling.
Replace cracked, lifted, or missing shingles before water gets underneath.
Failed flashing and worn pipe boots are among the most common leak sources.
Repair after heavy winter storms, with photos to support an insurance claim.

If the roof is past repair, we’ll say so and quote a full replacement.

“Austin and Vinh were professional, on time, even repaired a part on our roof we never expected. They rinsed off our plants after finishing the treatment.”

★★★★★
“They came as expected and went above and beyond to replace some old shingles and clean things up as they went. The roof looks good and we would recommend them.”

A clear process, so you know what to expect from the first call to the final walkthrough.
1
We inspect the roof, photograph what we find, and give you an itemized written quote.
2
We confirm permit and cool-roof requirements for your address and schedule the work.
3
The old roof comes off, the decking is inspected, and the new underlayment, flashing, and shingles go on.
4
We clean up thoroughly, including a magnet sweep for nails, and walk you through the finished roof.
Replacing a roof generally requires a permit from the City of Sacramento Community Development Department, or from Sacramento County in unincorporated areas. Sacramento is in California Climate Zone 12, where cool-roof requirements can apply when more than half of a roof is replaced. We’ll confirm what applies to your home in your quote.
Some companies only sell replacements. We recommend what your roof actually needs, even when that’s a smaller job, because an honest assessment is how we earn your trust.
✓ If a repair will do, we’ll quote a repair
✓ If your shingles can be restored, we’ll tell you about Roof Maxx
✓ If you need a new roof, we’ll show you why, with photos
✓ No pressure, and no upsells you don’t need

How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?
Signs include widespread missing or damaged shingles, sagging areas, rotted decking, leaks in multiple places, and shingles that are curling or cracking across most of the roof. Shingle roofs in Sacramento typically last about 15–30 years depending on materials and upkeep. A free assessment tells you where your roof stands.
Can you repair a roof leak?
Yes. Active leaks need to be repaired first. We find where water is getting in, often damaged flashing, a cracked or missing shingle, or a worn vent seal, and fix the source. Once the leak is repaired, we can assess whether restoration or washing still makes sense for the rest of the roof.
Will Roof Maxx or roof washing fix a roof leak?
No. Roof Maxx rejuvenates aging shingles and roof washing removes algae and moss, but neither repairs active leaks, damaged flashing, or missing shingles. Leaks need to be repaired first; we can assess Roof Maxx or washing afterward.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Sacramento?
Generally yes. Roof replacements in the City of Sacramento go through the Community Development Department, and unincorporated areas go through Sacramento County. We confirm permit requirements for your address as part of your quote.
How long does a roof replacement take?
It depends on roof size, complexity, and weather, from several days to a week or two. We’ll give you a realistic timeline in your written quote.
Should I repair, restore, or replace my roof?
Repair fixes isolated damage such as a few bad shingles, failed flashing, or a single leak source. Restoration with Roof Maxx is for aging asphalt shingles that are brittle or losing granules but are still structurally sound. Replacement is for roofs with widespread damage, rotted decking, or leaks across the roof. A free assessment tells you which one your roof needs, and we’ll say so even when the answer isn’t the biggest job.
A quick assessment tells you exactly what your roof needs, with photos of what we find and an upfront quote.
