Roof replacement in San Diego. Done right. Permit and all.
A roof replacement isn't a material swap — it's a system. Tear-off, deck inspection, new underlayment, flashing, vents, and top material. We pull the permit, pass the in-progress inspection, and back it with manufacturer warranty plus our own labor warranty. Most single-family reroofs finish in 2–4 days.
What's included in this service?
- Full tear-off to the deck — no layover installs (except where code and existing conditions allow)
- Deck inspection and plywood replacement where rot or delamination is found
- Ice-and-water shield at valleys and eaves, synthetic underlayment field
- New drip edge, step flashing, counter flashing, and valley metal
- New pipe boots, vent boots, and attic ventilation
- Top material: asphalt shingle (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed), tile (lift-and-relay or new), metal, or flat membrane
- Permit pull and in-progress + final inspection sign-off
- Old material haul-away and jobsite cleanup including magnetic nail sweep
When do you need this service?
- Roof is 20+ years old for shingle or 40+ for tile
- Multiple leaks in different locations
- Heavy granule loss visible in the gutters
- Sagging ridge line or deck (structural concern)
- Insurance or pre-sale inspection flagged the roof
- Solar install is planned and the roof has <10 years of life left
- Previous repairs were layovers and you want a proper tear-off
What do homeowners ask about Replacement?
How much does a new roof cost in San Diego?
For a typical 2,000 sq ft single-family home: architectural asphalt shingle runs $14,500 to $22,000. Clay or concrete tile (new or lift-and-relay) runs $28,000 to $48,000. Standing seam metal runs $22,000 to $38,000. Flat TPO runs $14 to $18 per sq ft of flat area. Free line-item estimate.
Do you pull the permit?
Yes, always. Every full replacement requires a permit from your city or county building department. We handle permit pull, schedule the in-progress inspection, and stay on site through sign-off. Unpermitted roofs void insurance and create problems at resale.
How long does a replacement take?
Most single-family shingle reroofs finish in 2 to 3 days: day 1 tear-off, day 2 underlayment and material, day 3 cleanup and inspection. Tile roofs take 3 to 5 days due to weight and handling. Weather and deck repair scope can extend.
What is the difference between lift-and-relay and full tile replacement?
Lift-and-relay reuses the existing tile but replaces everything under it — underlayment, flashing, battens. It's ~40% cheaper than new tile for a comparable long-term result. Only an option when existing tiles are in good shape; broken or faded tiles need replacement. We assess at the estimate.
What warranty comes with the new roof?
Material warranty per manufacturer (GAF Golden Pledge up to 50 years, Owens Corning Platinum, etc.) plus our 10-year labor warranty. We're manufacturer-certified for GAF and Owens Corning which unlocks the upgraded material warranty tiers vs. a standard installer.

Homeowners who hired us for this
Our 1990s Spanish tile roof was leaking in three spots. Instead of a full tear-off, Top Pro did a lift-and-relay with new underlayment and salvaged 90% of the original tiles. Crew was meticulous. Passed inspection on the first visit.
Got four quotes for a full tear-off and reroof. Top Pro was the only company that actually pulled up into the attic to check for rot before quoting. Found damage the others missed. Fair price. Crew was on time every day.
Live three blocks from the ocean. Salt killed our old shingle roof in 12 years. Top Pro installed stone-coated steel with stainless fasteners. Clean lines, clean job site, and they coordinated the HOA design review paperwork.
