Local Roofing Contractor Stockon



Just finished this new roof in Stockton, Ca.  
To start we remove the old roofing shingles & take them to a local recycling facility. Then the sheathing is checked for rotted wood or defects that would affect the integrity of the new roof.
Once the wood surface is good to go, we install new lifetime composition shingles. With the latest advances in roofing material manufacturing, and more stringent environmental regulations it makes sense to use cool roof shingles, which we try to use on every new roofing job.

On every new roof we include all new roof flashing with a new roof and if the homeowner has elected to replace the rain gutters, we install steel rain gutters with all down spouts & gutter drains soldered rather than caulked.

Review by a homeowner in Stockton, CA
Project: New Roof In Stockton
Certified Roof requires a 10% deposit before he begins work. Once they receive the deposit, they call to set up an appointment. I called before they did because an impending storm was coming. I spoke to Ron at Certified Roof about my concern and he told me he would be out as soon as the rain subsided. He repaired the missing shingles the next day when the rain had stopped for a few hours. Ron was professional and courteous every step of the way. I would definitely use his services again.

The Importance of Roof Flashings Stockton Roofing Contractors


Roof Flashing and Stockton Roofing Contractors -

When a roof develops a leak, 95% of the time it will be at the point where the roofing materials  intersect with a roof flashing of some type.
That is why when installing a new roof it is important that ALL NEW FLASHINGS are a part of the job. That being said, over the years I have come across many roofing quotes that specify new roof flashings only to find that when the work was actually done, some of the roof flashings were not actually replaced.
Flashings that tend to get skipped are the electrical mast flashing, chimney flashing and skylight flashing, because they are more expensive to replace than the others.
At Ron Williams' Certified Roof & Inspection we have an in house sheet metal shop where we make new flashings for chimneys, skylights and electrical masts so that all flashings really are replaced on every job. You may find us by visiting www.roofcertified.com on the web, or call 800 409 4910

Project: Clean and Seal DecksRon is very courteous and professional. He power washed, did some repairs, and stained/sealed our deck for us. He ran into some unexpected issues, as in the deck needing more repairs than he originally thought, and took care of them very professionally. He did a very nice job and we thought so much of him, we hired him to do the same to our roof.

Flat Roof Leaks & New Roofing

A new flat roof gets installed in Stockton. Visit www.roofcertified.com for info.


Lots of detail work on this new TPO flat roof installation in Stockton CA. The existing roof surface had been roofed over 3 times without fixing the fundamental flat roof issues,  mainly drainage. The roof surfaced drained every which way and the roof drains were dilapidated.

We stripped the roofing down to the wood & removed all of the old roof drains as well. After some plumbing changes we will install the new roof drains. When the new flat roof is completed it will also greatly improve the reflectivity of the roof surface, reducing the cooling cost in the living space.

Finally, be sure to Always Hire Local for roofing because if there is ever an issue your local roofing contractor is there for you!

What is a Roof Inspection?

What is a Roof Inspection?

It seems like the answer would be obvious. A qualified roof inspector (a licensed inspector that is aware of building codes, manufactures specifications and  industry standards) checks out the roof & then provides a report providing all of the  information   about the roof that may be relevant to the parties involved.
It is not nearly that simple, the reason is that the majority of the roof inspections done in San Joaquin & Sacramento Counties  completely subjective.
What is a "subjective" roof inspection?
sub·jec·tive / adjective  1.based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions. /  "his views are highly subjective" -  in other words, not based on fact, why would anyone want a roof inspection or  roof certification that is not based on fact?
Finally...make sure your inspector is ACTUALLY LOCAL by checking with the city here.
Now that you know the facts, the rest is up to you! Don't buy into the hidden fees and disclaimers.

Stockton Roof Certification - 3 Main Rules


  From:  www.roofcertified.com

Roof Certification & Inspection in Stockton.


Roof Certification & Inspection in Stockton.
Unfortunately for homeowners, there are no regulated guidelines under which roof certifications are issued, so for now the decisions are made solely upon the roof inspectors opinions of whether or not the roof can be made leak free for the term of the roof certification. In-particular, roof certifications that are based on  "subjective" roof inspections can be misleading because usually the home buyer or owner is under the impression that the roof is good to go if they get a 2 year roof certification, when in reality, with a "subjective" inspection on a 2 year roof certification there will likely be problems in two years or less, otherwise the opinions would not need to be subjective.


sub·jec·tive / adjective  1.based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions. /  "his views are highly subjective" -  in other words, not based on fact, why would anyone want a roof inspection or  roof certification that is not based on fact?
 

The term subjective is a blanket disclaimer for all of the information given in the report that is why it has no value as a roof inspection. A roof certification is only as good a the roof inspectors knowledge and integrity and in my opinion hidden blanket disclaimers and hidden fees are signs of trouble in these areas.

3 Main Rules of Roof Certification

1. Was the roof inspector verifiably licensed?
* If not he/she was not qualified to give you information on your roof in a professional capacity.


2. Are there ANY additional fees associated with servicing the roof certification?
*A roof certification should only have a one time up front fee, with no service fees of any kind.

3. Is it a subjective roof inspection?
*If so, by definition so far as a roof inspection the information in the roof report is only of value to the contractor and carries no value as a roof inspection to the hiring party. A real roof inspection should not be subjective of any particular party, rather based on building codes, roofing industry standards and manufacturers specifications.
These are the organizations that actually develop the standards by which your roof should be assessed, anything else is just some guys opinion (or "subjective") and that is a good reason to have a licensed roof inspector who is aware of these standards perform the roof inspection.

Find Best Roofers

Who are the best roofers?
According to standards established by the roofers unions and the governing bodies, a journeyman is the highest level of industry trade experience attainable.
Beyond that, like everything else it is determined by individuals & their levels of training, experience & dedication. Visit www.roofcertified.com for more info -
So the best roofers are likely to be found in the form of long term, accountable workers.
When a contractor says something like "we only use licensed contractors" to do the work,  it is clear that what that actually means  is that they are subcontracting every little job, which automatically deludes quality & accountability that is why this is the worst scenario short of being completely unlicensed.

Shake Roof Maintenance

Thirty Years Ago Shake Roofing was THE most popular residential roofing product in California.

15 Years ago those roofs began to wear out but there are quite a few left. There is no question we still get a lot of calls for shake roof repair & many times the problem is something that could have been fixed for $20.00 - $30.00, however we cannot do it for that with overhead etc. and I would really like to help those consumers that could do this without spending needless hundreds.
