Two generations of roofs
Original homes in the Western Area often have low-slope roofs that were never designed for modern roofing products. Homes rebuilt after the fire are newer, with pitched shingle or metal roofs that are now reaching the age where repairs and replacements come up.
Common jobs
- Coating low-slope roofs on mid-century homes
- Replacing shingle roofs on rebuilt homes
- Fixing ice dam leaks at eaves
- Clearing pine needles from roofs and drains
Trees and fire
The Western Area borders forested land. Keeping needles off the roof and out of gutters helps both drainage and fire safety. See wildfire season roof care.

Common questions
Should I switch to metal?
Metal sheds snow and is noncombustible. It's worth considering at replacement time. See shingles or metal.
My rebuilt home's roof is 20+ years old. Is it due?
Possibly. An inspection will tell you how much life is left.
