How Tilehurst Roofing Sacramento Was Born in Sacramento
When Tilehurst Roofing decided to open a location here in Sacramento, we knew exactly why. We’d spent years watching homeowners across this city get the same runaround: a lowball quote over the phone, a crew that showed up two days late, a price that somehow grew by thousands once the old shingles came off. Sacramento’s weather throws real heat at a roof, real rain, real wind. A roof that isn’t done right fails fast here, and the homeowner is the one left holding the bag.
We opened this branch because Sacramento deserved a roofing company that would say the price before the work, show up in the window it gave, and put the guarantee in writing. That’s the Tilehurst standard, and Greg Holloway was the man we trusted to carry it into every neighborhood we serve. From the first day, the promise was simple: roofs done once, and done right. No surprises at the door. No disappearing acts after the check clears.
Greg Holloway’s Personal Connection to the Roofing Trade
Greg Holloway didn’t stumble into roofing. He climbed into it, literally, and never climbed back down. Early on, he worked alongside tradesmen who could read a roofline the way some people read a book, seeing the slope, the valleys, and the weak points before their feet even left the ladder. The work was hard. Sacramento summers meant hauling bundles of shingles up a ladder when the roof surface was hot enough to soften the soles of a boot. But there was something honest about it.
He remembers the smell of hot asphalt and the weight of a nail gun in his hand, the rhythm of it. He remembers standing back at the end of a day and looking at a roof that hadn’t existed that morning. But what stayed with him most was the first time a homeowner told him a different crew had been up there six months before and the leak was back. Greg went up, found flashing done wrong so plainly that it was almost insulting, and fixed it in an afternoon. The homeowner, a woman in her sixties, nearly cried. She’d been told twice that the problem was solved. It wasn’t. Greg understood then that roofing isn’t just labor. It’s a promise to the people who live under that roof.
The trade means something to Greg beyond the work itself. It’s about what a roof protects: the birthday parties in the living room, the kids asleep upstairs while rain hammers down outside, the photo albums in the attic. He thinks about that when he’s up there, and it’s why he still walks every job himself before it’s called done. If he weren’t doing this, he’d be building something else by hand, probably in the same sun. But roofing is where his hands and his standards meet, and Sacramento is where he chose to put down those roots.
Meet Greg Holloway – The Person Behind Every Job
Greg Holloway is the Owner & Founder of Tilehurst Roofing Sacramento. He leads a local team that works the way he was taught: say the price before the work, show up when you said you would, and don’t leave a mess in someone’s yard. His background is in the trade itself, the kind of knowledge that comes from standing on roofs in every season and fixing what others got wrong.
What sets Greg apart from a corporate franchise technician is simple: he lives here. He drives these same streets. The roof he fixes on Tuesday belongs to someone he might see at the hardware store on Saturday. That changes how you work. It changes how you talk to people. Greg doesn’t hide behind a call script or a corporate ladder. He answers the question, gives the real price, and stands behind it. That’s not a policy to him. That’s just how you treat a neighbor.
Our Promise to Sacramento Homeowners
We follow The Kingswell Way, the five values stamped into every Tilehurst Roofing location. Say the price before the work. Show up in the window we gave. Leave the place cleaner than we found it. Put the guarantee in writing. Come back if it fails. Those aren’t slogans. They’re the reason Greg agreed to carry the Tilehurst name.
The Kingswell Guarantee backs every roof we touch. A written price before any work starts. A real arrival window. A clean job site. And a written guarantee on the work. If a repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. We’d tell you that face to face, and then we’d put it in writing so you don’t have to trust a handshake alone.
Our Credentials
- State-licensed roofing professionals: Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires.
- Insured & bonded: We carry the coverage a homeowner should expect before anyone sets foot on their property.
- Years of local experience: Greg Holloway has been on roofs in this region for well over a decade, and the team he built reflects that standard.
- Strong local reputation: The bulk of our work in Sacramento comes from referrals, neighbors telling neighbors who showed up and did it right.
Why these matter: a roof is a big expense, and the person standing on it is standing over everything you own. Licenses mean the pro answers to a state board. Insurance means a mistake at your house doesn’t become a lien against you. And a local reputation means the work has been seen and judged by people who live down the street from you. We’d rather be measured by that than by anything else.
Rooted in Sacramento
Sacramento isn’t a territory to us. It’s home. We know the flat ranch roofs in Arden-Arcade, the tile profiles in Folsom, the older stock in North Highlands where flashing has been failing for years. We know that a roof in Orangevale faces different wind exposure than one in West Sacramento near the delta. That local knowledge isn’t marketing. It’s what happens when the person quoting your roof drives past your street twice a week. Greg built this branch for the long haul, and the neighborhoods we serve are the reason it works.
