Arcata Roof Installation & Repair. GAF Certified

Replacing your roof isn't just about shingles. We install ice and water shield in the valleys and along eaves, synthetic underlayment across the whole deck, new drip edge on rake and eave, starter strip, and ridge vent. That's how a roof lasts 30 years in California.

Missing shingles, cracked flashing, a leak over the kitchen. Whatever it is, we fix it. Our Arcata repair crew runs 6 days a week. Most repairs take half a day.

Our storm damage process: free inspection, full photo documentation, direct filing with your insurance carrier, meet the adjuster on-site, and handle the repairs once approved. We don't ask for money upfront on insurance claims.

A new roof installation starts with getting the specs right. Roof pitch determines your material options. Attic space determines ventilation needs. Local code determines underlayment requirements. We handle all of that before the first shingle goes on.

We do metal roof repairs too. Loose panels, failed sealant at transitions, rust spots on older galvanized. Not every metal issue needs a full replacement. Our Arcata crew can usually fix it same-day.

Architectural shingles are what 80% of Arcata homeowners choose. They look better than 3-tab, last longer, and handle wind better. We install GAF Timberline, Owens Corning Duration, and CertainTeed Landmark.

Modified bitumen is our go-to for residential flat roofs in Arcata. Two-ply torch-applied system with a granulated cap sheet. It handles foot traffic, thermal cycling, and California UV better than single-ply at the residential scale.

Modified bitumen (mod-bit) is still the best choice for high-traffic commercial roofs in Arcata. We torch-apply SBS-modified base and cap sheets over properly primed concrete or approved decking. Two-ply mod-bit systems carry 20-year NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranties through GAF, Firestone, or Johns Manville. NRCA member. We follow the manual.

We offer aluminum, copper, and steel gutters for Arcata homes. Most folks go with .027 gauge seamless aluminum. It's durable, affordable, and comes in 25+ colors. Copper looks amazing but costs 3-4x more.

Our Arcata roof inspections cover shingles, flashing, pipe boots, ridge vent, soffit, gutters, and decking condition. You get a written report with photos. If nothing's wrong, we tell you that.

Fallen tree limb damage requires structural assessment before repair. We check rafter integrity, decking condition, and whether the ceiling joists below were impacted. If structural members are cracked or displaced, you need a framing carpenter before we re-roof. We coordinate with trusted Arcata contractors for structural work. Insurance carriers require separate line items for structural vs. roofing repairs. We document both.

We install, replace, and repair skylights in Arcata homes. Fogged glass, cracked frames, persistent leaks around old skylights. We fix it all. Sometimes replacing a 20-year-old skylight is cheaper than trying to repair it.
