FAQs
How do I know if my Monterey home needs a full roof replacement instead of a repair?
Signs include widespread shingle curling or loss, visible decking or underlayment, repeated leaks in multiple areas, and roofs that are 20–25 years old (or 15+ for wood shakes in a coastal setting). Because Monterey’s salt air accelerates corrosion, flashing and fasteners may also fail sooner. We begin every project with a free on-site inspection, moisture scan, and attic check; if structural decking is solid and damage is localized, we’ll recommend a repair, but if more than 25–30 % of the surface is compromised, a full replacement is the most cost-effective long-term solution.
What roofing materials perform best in Monterey’s coastal climate?
Our most requested options are (1) architectural asphalt shingles with algae-resistant copper granules, (2) standing-seam aluminum or galvanized steel metal roofs with marine-grade coatings, (3) Class A fire-rated concrete or clay tiles, and (4) high-density composite shake or slate. All withstand salt spray, occasional heavy winds, and the mild temperature swings typical of the Monterey Peninsula. We use stainless-steel or hot-dipped-galvanized fasteners to avoid corrosion and install breathable synthetic underlayment to handle coastal humidity.
How long does a typical roof replacement take and will I need a permit?
Most single-family homes in the Monterey area take 2–4 working days, depending on size, roof pitch, and material choice. Tile or metal systems can add an extra day for flashing and trim work. The City of Monterey, Pacific Grove, Seaside, and Monterey County all require a roofing permit for tear-offs or structural decking repairs. We handle the permit application, plan review, and final inspection scheduling, ensuring your new roof meets all California Building Code and Title 24 energy requirements.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Monterey and what factors influence the price?
Costs typically range from $9 to $18 per square foot installed: asphalt shingles average $9–$12, metal $12–$15, and tile or composite $14–$18. Variables include roof size and pitch, number of layers to remove, decking repairs, choice of underlayment/insulation, custom flashings, skylight re-installation, and disposal fees at the Marina landfill. We provide a detailed, itemized quote with material and labor warranties so you can compare apples to apples.
Are there energy-efficient or solar-ready roofing options that comply with California Title 24?
Yes. Cool-roof rated shingles and metal panels use reflective pigments to reduce attic temperatures by up to 30 °F, which helps meet Title 24’s prescriptive requirements. If you plan to add solar panels now or later, we install pre-engineered mounting brackets and provide structural calculations for the permit. For low-slope areas, a Title 24-compliant single-ply PVC or TPO membrane can be integrated seamlessly with your sloped roofing system.
How do you protect my landscape and dispose of old roofing materials during the project?
Before tear-off begins, we cover plants, walkways, and AC units with breathable tarps and set up plywood protection for sensitive siding or stucco. Debris is directed into an on-site dumpster via ground-level chutes; nails are collected daily with magnetic rollers. Old shingles and metal get recycled when possible, and remaining waste is disposed of at certified facilities in compliance with Monterey County environmental regulations. A final sweep and gutter clean-out are completed before the walkthrough so your property looks spotless.
