AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Company Across Davis
Roofing work in Davis carries a specific set of rules that most roofers do not deal with anywhere else. The city’s 2005 cool-roof ordinance means every re-roof and new construction project must use CRRC-listed reflective materials, and City of Davis inspectors verify the reflectance rating at final inspection. That is not a suggestion. It is a permit condition.
Brennan Roofing works under Roofing Company standards that fit Davis perfectly: a written price before any work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians on site, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If your roof fails within a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. Call (361) 320-9467 to schedule a free estimate, and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Brennan Roofing Is Davis’s Preferred Roofing Company Company
Davis homeowners deal with a roofing reality that Sacramento or Woodland roofers can miss: the cool-roof ordinance, the valley oak canopy, and an aging stock of 1960s through 1980s wood-shake roofs that are failing under the Central Valley sun. We know those houses. When we quote a re-roof in East Davis or Willowbank, we plan for what the tear-off will expose, not for a best-case scenario.
Travis Oakley leads the team and sets the standard on every job. The Garrison Standard is not marketing language. It means the price goes on paper before work begins and does not move at the door. It means the technician on your roof has passed a background check and wears a uniform. It means the guarantee is written for one full year, with a free second visit if the repair or installation fails.
Our Davis customers call with questions about cool-rated shingles, decking condition, and whether a permit will pass. A live person answers around the clock. No voicemail, no automated system, no callback queue.
Residential Roofing in Davis
Residential Roofing in Davis usually means one of two things: a full re-roof on an older wood-shake or original asphalt shingle home, or a repair on a newer composition or tile roof in Mace Ranch or South Davis. Typical re-roofs in Davis run $12,000 to $28,000 for single-story tract homes, depending on material, pitch, decking replacement, and whether the existing roof is wood shake. Repairs on asphalt shingle roofs run $350 to $1,200 for flashing, shingle, or minor decking fixes.
Every re-roof in Davis must use a CRRC-listed cool-rated material. We install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning architectural shingles that meet the reflectance requirement, and we confirm the rating before we order so the final inspection passes the first time.
Wood Shake Tear-Off and Replacement
Older East Davis and Willowbank homes still carry original wood shake roofs. Those shakes are brittle after 40 to 60 years of UV exposure, and tear-off frequently exposes soft decking, failed flashing, and framing problems the homeowner could not see. We price the tear-off realistically, write allowances into the contract for decking and framing repair, and document every additional cost in writing before we touch it.
A full wood-shake tear-off and cool-rated replacement on a 1,200 to 1,800 square foot Davis home typically runs $18,000 to $30,000, depending on decking replacement and ridge detail.
Composition Shingle Re-Roof
Newer Davis homes in Mace Ranch and South Davis often need a straightforward composition shingle re-roof. We strip the existing layer, inspect the decking, install new underlayment and drip edge, and lay architectural shingles rated for the city’s cool-roof requirement. Expect $12,000 to $22,000 on a mid-size single-story home.
Roof Maintenance in Davis
Roof Maintenance in Davis has one job above all others: keeping the valley oak leaves and debris from sitting on the roof long enough to trap moisture. In older neighborhoods like East Davis, the canopy is beautiful and the leaf load is constant. Moss grows on wood shake and composition shingle where debris holds water through the wet season, and by spring the sheathing underneath is softening.
Annual maintenance in Davis typically runs $250 to $600 for a thorough clean, inspection, and minor caulking or flashing tune-up. That is far cheaper than the $1,500 to $4,000 repair that follows a season of trapped moisture.
Gutter and Valley Cleaning
Gutters under live oaks fill fast. We clean and flush them, clear the valleys where debris accumulates, and check the downspouts. A typical Davis home takes two to three hours and runs $200 to $450, depending on roof height and tree coverage.
Post-Winter Inspection
Winter rains in Davis expose leaks that developed during the dry season. We walk the roof, check flashing at penetrations and valleys, and document any soft spots before they become structural. Inspections run $150 to $350, and the report is yours to keep whether or not you hire us for the repair.
Trusted Brands We Service in Davis
We install and service materials from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, and we keep the common parts for those lines stocked locally so Davis repairs do not wait on a parts delivery from Sacramento. Whether you need a shingle match for a composition roof or a full cool-rated re-roof, we explain the material options in plain English and put the brand, the model, and the CRRC rating on the written quote. You know exactly what goes on your roof and why it will pass the Davis inspection.
Common Roofing Company Problems We See in Davis Homes
- Cool-roof ordinance failures. A contractor installs a shingle that is not CRRC-listed, the final inspection fails, and the homeowner pays for a second tear-off. We verify reflectance before we order anything.
- Wood-shake decay under the valley oak canopy. Moss and debris sit on older East Davis roofs through the winter, the sheathing softens, and the decking is rotted by the time anyone looks. Annual cleaning prevents this.
- Decking surprises after tear-off. Original 1960s and 1970s roofs in Davis often hide soft decking and failed flashing that a visual inspection cannot catch. We write allowances into the contract so the quote does not move unexpectedly.
- UV damage from Central Valley summers. A hundred days over 100°F accelerates shingle granule loss and cracking on low-pitch roofs. Cool-rated architectural shingles last longer and keep the attic cooler.
Pricing for Roofing Company in Davis, CA
Roof repairs in Davis run $350 to $1,200 for typical flashing, shingle, and minor decking work. Full re-roofs run $12,000 to $30,000, with wood-shake tear-offs on the higher end because the decking and framing underneath usually need work. The variables are pitch, roof size, material grade, and how much decking the tear-off exposes.
We give you the range before we write the contract, and the contract includes written allowances for decking and framing. If we find something unexpected, we document it, price it in writing, and get your approval before we proceed. Call (361) 320-9467 for a free estimate. No pressure, just numbers on paper.

FAQs About Roofing Company in Davis
Yes. The City of Davis has required cool roofs on all re-roofs and new construction since 2005, and the inspector checks the CRRC reflectance rating at final. We only install materials that meet the requirement, and the CRRC rating goes on your written quote. If a contractor cannot name the rating, they are guessing. Call (361) 320-9467 and we will show you the numbers.
Usually three things: soft decking where old shakes leaked, failed flashing at valleys and penetrations, and sometimes undersized or damaged framing from prior work that was never permitted. We tore off an original wood-shake roof on a 1974 single-story in East Davis, and under the brittle shakes the decking showed the soft spots and failed flashing the dry-season rains had been quietly feeding. The tear-off also exposed undersized framing at the ridge where a prior owner had cut in a penetration without a permit, so we documented it, priced the repair in writing, and only then set new underlayment.
The valley oaks drop a steady load of leaves and debris onto roofs in East Davis and other older neighborhoods. That debris holds moisture through the winter, moss grows, and the sheathing underneath softens. Newer treeless subdivisions in Mace Ranch rarely see this. Older Davis homes need annual cleaning and inspection to stay ahead of it.
Because the decking under an old Davis roof is often worse than anyone could see before the tear-off. The quote moves when the framing or decking requires work the original visual inspection could not detect. We handle this by writing allowances into the contract up front, and we price every additional item in writing before we proceed. The price never moves at the door without your signed approval.
Yes, we quote by the square, which is 100 square feet of roof area. A mid-size Davis single-story is usually 15 to 25 squares. We measure the roof in squares, price the material and labor per square, and show you that math on the written estimate. You will know exactly how many squares we are charging for and why. Call (361) 320-9467 for a free measurement and estimate.
