Picking a roofing system that fits the home
A new roof installation begins with choosing the material that fits the home, the budget, and the exposure, and we lay out the genuine trade-offs instead of steering you toward whatever product is easiest to move. Concrete and clay tile crown much of South Orange for good reasons. The tile lasts for decades, it suits the Spanish and Mediterranean lines so common across Lake Forest, and it handles the inland sun far better than shingle does. The catch is that the membrane beneath the tile does the actual waterproofing and runs on a shorter clock, so a tile roof has to be built with that eventual re-cover already in mind. Architectural asphalt shingle costs less up front, goes on faster, and is simple to repair, which serves plenty of homes here just as well.
Because our living is in installing the roof, not in moving a single product, the recommendation we make is tied to what genuinely fits your situation. A homeowner settling in for the long haul, on a house framed to carry the weight of tile, frequently comes out ahead with a quality tile system. Another owner is better served by a good architectural shingle. We give you the straight comparison and leave the decision with you, including being honest about the structural and cost realities of moving from shingle to tile or going the other way.
Every layer doing its job, not just the one you see
A new roof is far more than the surface you can see from the street. On new construction and additions we build the whole system from the deck upward. We confirm the sheathing, lay quality membrane, which on a tile roof is the layer that truly keeps the water out, fit new flashing at every penetration and wall, detail the valleys, run a clean drip edge, and finish with the roofing material itself. Each layer carries a job, and the roof performs only when all of them work together.
Attic ventilation is engineered in from the beginning, which is one of the real advantages of getting the roof right on a fresh build. Balanced intake down low and exhaust up high keeps the attic nearer the outdoor temperature, which protects the roof from the inland heat that bakes shingles and cooks the membrane beneath tile from below. A great many roofs in this climate age before their time because the original ventilation was wrong and the attic ran hot for years on end. A new installation is the moment to set it right for the whole life of the roof.
By the book on permit, code, and warranty
A new roof has to be done correctly on paper as much as on the deck. We pull the permit the job requires, build to the manufacturer's spec so the material warranty genuinely holds, and have the work signed off the way the code demands. Cutting any of those corners might shave a little off today's price, but it puts the warranty, the insurance coverage, and the home's future resale at risk, and that is a trade we will not make for you.
Fitting the roof into the larger build is part of doing it well. On new construction and additions the install has to land at the right point in the schedule, once the framing and sheathing are ready and in step with the other trades, so the structure gets dried in without holding up whatever comes next. We stay in contact with the homeowner and, where there is one, the general contractor, to time it correctly rather than dropping the roof in as a stranded task. Sequenced well, the whole project keeps moving while the new space is sheltered from the weather as early as possible.
It begins with a no-pressure consultation that costs you nothing. We study the project, set out the material options and their real trade-offs, and put a clear, scoped written estimate in your hands. Once the new roof is on, you leave with the documentation, the manufacturer coverage, and our own workmanship guarantee stacked on top, so the roof over your new space becomes one more thing you never have to think about again.
