Residential Roofing in Richmond
Richmond's residential roof mix runs from 1920s bungalows near the waterfront to mid-century ranches in the Annex and newer two-story homes in the hills. That range means no single roofing approach fits every house. Older homes often need decking work and updated attic ventilation, while newer homes mostly need storm damage repair and maintenance. Homeowners here care about three things: stopping leaks before they reach the ceiling, keeping the roof warranty valid, and not overpaying for a job that could have been a repair. We handle all of it, from a single cracked flashing fix to a full replacement with a 50-year material warranty.
- Full roof replacement in Richmond — We tear off to the deck, replace any rotted sheathing, and install a new GAF or Owens Corning system with ice-and-water shield at the eaves. Most single-family homes finish in two to three days, and we dry in the same day we strip.
- Leak tracing and repair — Richmond leaks travel, so we use moisture meters and attic inspection to find the real entry point instead of guessing. We repair the flashing, underlayment, or shingle field causing the problem and test with a hose before we leave.
- Storm damage and emergency tarping — When a winter windstorm lifts shingles or a tree limb punches through, we tarp the same day and document the damage for your insurance claim. Permanent repair follows once the weather clears and the adjuster signs off.
- Attic ventilation and Title 24 compliance — Older Richmond homes often have undersized attic ventilation, which shortens shingle life and drives up cooling costs. We size ridge vents and intake vents to the attic square footage and document compliance for your permit file.
