New Roof & Roof Replacement in Orange County
When a repair isn’t enough anymore. Full roof replacements in tile, shingle, slate and flat roofing, from a licensed contractor that’s been in business in Orange County since 1945.
Sometimes a repair isn’t enough
Roofs get ignored until there’s a problem, and by then a patch may not fix it. Poor roofing leads to big issues down the road. When the damage is too far along, a complete replacement is the best thing you can do for the building.
A replacement is a big job, and it’s exhausting if you’re not working with a professional. We tell you what’s under the old roof and what it means before we quote anything, and we only recommend replacement when repair stops making sense.

When should you replace your roof?
A general rule of thumb is that a roof lasts about 30 years, but it depends on the roof type and its surroundings. Some last only 15 years; others last up to 75. Asphalt shingles may need replacing after 15 to 30 years, while a metal roof can go up to 75.
The best way to know is to have it inspected every year. These are the most common signs it’s time:
- Damaged shingles
- Missing shingles
- Damaged slate or tile
- Rot or mold
- Water leaks
- Dark spots
Composite and asphalt shingles show these problems sooner than metal. If the damage is too severe, it’s time for a new roof. Book a roof inspection.

New roof questions
How much should you pay for a roof replacement in Orange County?
It depends on the material, the size of the roof, the hours the job takes and what we find under the old roof. It’s a significant investment, but a new roof adds years of stability and safety. We give you a free written estimate before anything starts.
Should I hire a roofing company or a handyman?
A roofing company. Handymen often charge less, but they aren’t always licensed to work on roofs. A licensed roofer delivers the results you’re paying for, every time.
How long does a new roof last?
Around 30 years as a rule of thumb. Asphalt shingle roofs may need replacing after 15 to 30 years; metal roofs can last up to 75.
How long does a roof replacement take?
On an average-size California home, usually three to five days. Weather and a complicated roof can stretch that. You get a timeline with your estimate.
Can my roof be repaired instead?
Often, yes. We check first, and if a repair will do the job, that’s what we recommend.
