Trusted Roof Replacement for Sacramento Homeowners
A roof replacement in Sacramento typically costs between $9,500 and $18,000 for a standard asphalt shingle roof on a 1,500 – 2,500 square foot home, with most jobs completed in 2 – 5 days. We’re Tilehurst Roofing Sacramento, part of the Kingswell family of roofing companies founded in 2000, and we built this location for one reason: too many Sacramento homeowners have been burned by no-shows, price changes at the door, and repairs that failed within months. Every job we do starts with a written price before any work begins, and every roof we install is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right, for a full year. Call (279) 348-3049 and a live person answers, day or night.
Roof Installation
Roof installation is the complete process of removing your old roof down to the decking and building a new roofing system from the deck up, including underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and the finished shingle or tile surface. In Sacramento, where summer temperatures routinely pass 100 degrees and winter storms bring heavy rain, installation quality determines whether your roof lasts 12 years or 25. Most asphalt shingle roof installations in Sacramento run $9,500 to $18,000 depending on home size, roof pitch, and material choice. Tilehurst Roofing Sacramento handles the full installation, including permits, tear-off, deck inspection, and haul-away, with a written price in your hands before the crew arrives.
Complete Tear-Off and Deck Inspection
We remove every layer of old roofing, down to the wood decking, because layering new shingles over old hides rot and shortens the life of the new roof. Each sheet of decking gets checked for soft spots, water damage, and proper nailing, and any compromised boards are replaced before the new roof goes on. You’ll see the written decking report before we proceed.
Underlayment and Flashing Done Right
Sacramento’s winter rains punish shortcuts. We install full synthetic underlayment across the entire roof deck and replace all flashing at chimneys, valleys, and vents, so water has no entry point. Every penetration gets sealed and inspected before shingles cover it.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Replacement Contractor
A roof replacement contractor is the licensed professional who manages your entire roofing project from initial inspection through final cleanup, and choosing the right one in Sacramento means the difference between a roof that lasts decades and one that fails in five years. Tilehurst Roofing Sacramento is that contractor, and we operate under the Kingswell Guarantee: 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, and come back if it fails. Roof replacement in the Sacramento area runs $9,500 to $18,000 for asphalt shingles on a typical home, with premium materials running higher. We pull all permits, pass every inspection, and stand behind every job for a full year under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Written Price, No Surprises at the Door
The price we quote is the price you pay. If we find decking damage, we show you the damage, show you the cost, and get your written approval before any additional work happens. No change orders slipped in at the end, no “we didn’t expect this” conversations after the tear-off.
Background-Checked Crews You Can Recognize
Every technician who walks onto your Sacramento property is background-checked and wears a Tilehurst uniform, so you know exactly who is on your roof. Greg Holloway, who leads this location, personally reviews every completed roof before we call the job done.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement
Asphalt shingle roof replacement is the most common roofing project in Sacramento because asphalt shingles handle our hot, dry summers and wet winters at the best price-to-durability ratio of any roofing material. A full asphalt shingle replacement in Sacramento typically costs $9,500 to $16,000 for a standard home, depending on square footage, roof pitch, and which shingle line you choose. Tilehurst Roofing Sacramento installs shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, and Tamko, so the product fits your home and budget, not just what’s on the truck. Most asphalt shingle replacements finish in 2 – 4 days.
Architectural vs. Three-Tab Shingles
Architectural shingles are thicker, last 25 – 30 years in Sacramento’s climate, and run about $1.50 – $2.00 more per square foot than three-tab. Three-tab shingles are lighter and cheaper, but expect 15 – 20 years before needing replacement. We’ll show you samples from multiple manufacturers and give you honest numbers on both.
Sacramento Heat and Shingle Selection
Reflective shingle colors matter here. Lighter colors and certain manufacturer lines, like Owens Corning’s Cool Roof collection, reduce attic temperatures and cooling bills during 100-degree Sacramento summers. We’ll walk you through the options and tell you which hold up best to UV exposure in this region.
New Roof Installation
New roof installation is a broader term covering any full roof system built on your home, whether it’s new construction, a complete replacement, or a conversion from one material to another, and in Sacramento it’s the single biggest investment in your home’s weatherproofing you’ll ever make. A new asphalt shingle roof installation in Sacramento runs $9,500 to $18,000, while tile, metal, or flat roofing systems run higher depending on material and structural requirements. Tilehurst Roofing Sacramento completes new roof installation with full permits, written pricing, and a one-year warranty on workmanship, so you’re never guessing about coverage. Greg Holloway and our crews have installed hundreds of roofs across this region, and we treat every job like it’s going on our own home.
New Construction and Additions
If you’re building a new home or adding a room, we install complete roof systems that pass Sacramento and county code inspections the first time. We coordinate with your general contractor or work directly with you, and the written quote covers the full scope: decking, underlayment, flashing, shingles, and cleanup.
Material Conversion Projects
Switching from old wood shake or worn tile to a modern asphalt shingle system requires structural review and careful tear-off, which our crews do routinely across Sacramento. The price includes removal and disposal of the old material, and we give you a realistic timeline before the first nail is driven.
Reroofing
Reroofing means applying a new shingle layer over an existing single layer of shingles, without a full tear-off, and it can save Sacramento homeowners $2,000 – $5,000 versus a complete replacement when the existing roof is in sound condition. A reroof in Sacramento typically runs $7,000 to $12,000 for asphalt shingles on a standard home, though most Sacramento homes we see need full replacement because of decking damage or existing double layers. Tilehurst Roofing Sacramento gives you a straight answer after inspection: if your roof qualifies for reroofing, we’ll tell you; if it needs full replacement, we’ll show you why with photos and measurements, not just a sales pitch.
When Reroofing Actually Works
Reroofing only works when the existing shingle layer is lying flat, the decking is solid, and there’s only one layer on the roof. If granules are shedding heavily, shingles are curling, or you have leaks in multiple spots, reroofing just hides the problem. We inspect the decking from the attic and the surface before recommending this route.
The Weight Question
A second shingle layer adds roughly 3,000 – 5,000 pounds to your roof structure. We check your home’s framing and truss capacity before recommending reroofing, because Sacramento’s building code limits total roof load. If the numbers don’t support it, we’ll tell you to go with full replacement.
Flat Roof Replacement
Flat roof replacement is a specialized project for Sacramento homes with low-slope or flat roof sections, using membrane systems rather than shingles, and it typically costs $8,000 to $15,000 depending on the membrane type and roof size. Tilehurst Roofing Sacramento installs flat roof systems designed for our wet winters and long dry summers, including TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen membranes, each with different lifespans and price points. A flat roof in Sacramento’s climate takes different abuse than a pitched roof: standing water after winter storms, UV breakdown in summer, and debris from trees in neighborhoods like East Sacramento and Land Park. We design the replacement around those conditions, not a generic spec.
TPO and PVC Membrane Systems
TPO is the most common flat roof material in Sacramento because it reflects heat and handles ponding water well, typically running $9 – $13 per square foot installed. PVC costs a bit more but offers better chemical resistance, which matters if your flat roof is near a kitchen vent or HVAC discharge. We’ll show you samples and explain the difference in plain language.
Repairing the Drainage, Not Just the Cover
A flat roof replacement that ignores drainage is a future leak. We inspect and, when needed, correct the slope, drains, and scuppers before the membrane goes on, so water leaves the roof instead of pooling on it. That’s the difference between a roof that lasts and one that fails in three years.
Brands We Service
We install and service every major roofing manufacturer’s products, and we carry material options from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. If you have a specific brand preference, we’ll spec your roof around that manufacturer and their warranty program.
Our crews are factory-trained on IKO and Atlas installation methods, and we regularly install Tamko and Boral products for Sacramento homeowners who want specific aesthetics or durability profiles. Whether you have an existing IKO roof, want Atlas shingles on a new install, or need a Boral tile system for a Mediterranean-style home, we can help. And if you’re not sure which brand fits, we’ll show you samples from all seven manufacturers and give you straight numbers on each.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Granules in your gutters: If you’re finding shingle granules in your downspouts or gutters, your shingles are degrading and the asphalt layer underneath is exposed. In Sacramento’s sun, this accelerates fast, and a roof at this stage usually has 1 – 3 years left before leaks start.
- Curling or buckling shingles: Shingles that curl at the edges or buckle in the middle have lost their bond and let water underneath. Once this starts across more than a few square feet, spot repairs won’t hold, and replacement is the only real fix.
- Interior water stains on ceilings: A water stain on your ceiling means water has already breached the roofing system and traveled through the decking. The leak is usually bigger than the stain, and by the time you see it, the decking underneath may already be rotting.
- Daylight through the attic: If you can see light coming through your roof boards from inside the attic, water has a direct path in. This is one of the clearest signs that a roof replacement is overdue, not just a repair.
- Sagging rooflines: A sagging ridge or visible dip in the roof plane signals structural compromise, usually from water-damaged decking or failing rafters. This is a safety issue, and it needs a professional assessment, not a patch job.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Free inspection and written quote: We walk the entire roof, check the attic, and document everything with photos. You get a written line-item quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what’s included, what it costs, and what the timeline looks like.
- 2
Permits and material ordering: We pull all required Sacramento and county permits and order your chosen materials from the manufacturer. You’ll see the material invoice and know exactly what’s going on your roof before the tear-off begins.
- 3
Tear-off and deck inspection: The crew removes your old roof down to the decking and inspects every sheet of wood. Any rotted or soft decking is replaced, with your written approval on any additional work before we proceed.
- 4
New roof installation: Underlayment, drip edge, flashing, and shingles are installed to manufacturer specification and Sacramento code. Our background-checked, uniformed crews work clean and protect your landscaping, driveway, and exterior walls during the entire job.
- 5
Final inspection and written guarantee: Greg Holloway personally walks the finished roof with you, answers every question, and hands you the written guarantee before the crew leaves. It’s not mailed later. It’s in your hand on the last day, and it’s backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement in Sacramento
What is roof replacement?
Roof replacement is the complete removal of your existing roof down to the decking, followed by installation of a new roofing system including underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and new shingles or membrane. It differs from repair, which only addresses isolated damage.

How long does a roof replacement take in Sacramento?
Most asphalt shingle roof replacements in Sacramento take 2 – 5 days from tear-off to final cleanup, depending on roof size, pitch, and weather. Reroofing over a single layer typically takes 1 – 2 days, while flat roof and tile replacements can take 5 – 10 days. We give you a specific timeline in writing before the job starts, and we stick to it.

What kind of warranty comes with a new roof?

You get the written guarantee before the crew leaves, not mailed later.
How should I prepare for a roof replacement?
Clear vehicles from the driveway and areas around the house, remove wall decorations that could fall from vibration, and let us know if you have pets that need special consideration during the job. We protect your landscaping and exterior surfaces, and we’ll walk you through what to expect on day one. You don’t need to remove anything from the roof; that’s the crew’s job.
