Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Modesto?

Yes. The City of Modesto Building Safety Division issues reroof permits, online through eTRAKiT or over the counter. We pull it and meet the inspector.

How soon can you inspect my roof in Modesto?

Usually within a few business days, and same day for active leaks when weather allows, because our crews are based in Modesto.

Do older Modesto homes cost more to reroof?

Sometimes. Pre-1980 homes more often need deck repairs, extra tear-off layers or ventilation upgrades. The bid lists those as unit prices up front.

Modesto is home base: our crews and materials start here, so most Modesto inspections can be scheduled within a few days. The city's housing is older than the Valley average (median year built 1978, with nearly 45% of homes built between 1950 and 1979), so many roofs here are on their second or third replacement, and older decking and ventilation are often part of the job.

Older neighborhoods, older roof systems

Areas such as the College Area, with its Craftsman homes near Graceada Park, and mid-century La Loma often have plank decking, multiple old layers and undersized attic ventilation. We price deck repair per sheet in the bid so there are no surprises after tear-off.

Trees and roofs

Modesto has roughly 105,000 trees, about 81,000 of them city-owned, and a mature canopy means debris-filled valleys and gutters and limb damage in winter storms. The December 2022–January 2023 atmospheric rivers caused an estimated $15 million in damage in Stanislaus County, much of it from fallen trees. (Source: Modesto Bee)
