Our Replacement Services

When a roof has reached the end of its service life, replacement provides a fresh start with modern materials and the latest installation methods. Sure Roofing replaces all major roof types found on San Francisco homes, selecting systems appropriate for your building's architecture and your performance requirements.

  • Sure Roofing offers expert solutions for San Francisco's flat roofs, including torch-down and modified bitumen roof replacements designed for long-lasting durability. Flat roof systems require proper slope for drainage and careful attention to penetrations and edges where leaks commonly originate. We assess your existing roof's condition and recommend replacement systems matched to your building's needs.

  • For pitched roofs, Sure Roofing offers expert installation and replacement of composition shingles, as well as premium clay, slate, and metal roof assemblies. Each material is carefully installed to enhance curb appeal while providing long-lasting durability and weather protection. We can help you select materials that complement your home's architecture and meet your budget.

  • Metal roofing provides exceptional longevity and weather resistance for pitched applications. We replace aging metal systems and install new metal roofs over appropriate substrates, with options ranging from standing seam panels to metal shingles that replicate traditional materials.

Reroofing Evaluation

After nearly 44 years of working on Bay Area roofs, Sure Roofing has developed advanced remote assessment technology that often provides better estimates than traditional site visits. High-resolution satellite imagery provides measurements accurate to within inches, while our database of historical imagery shows how your roof has changed over time.

Remote evaluation identifies equipment, structural elements, condition issues, and special considerations that affect your project scope and budget. This comprehensive view means fewer surprises during construction and more accurate initial estimates. When your roof presents genuinely complex challenges, we recommend an on-site visit because your situation truly warrants personal attention.

When to Replace vs. Restore

Not every aging roof requires full replacement. Sure Roofing also offers silicone roof coatings that can extend the life of structurally sound flat roofs by decades, with manufacturer warranties up to 25 years. Coating costs significantly less than replacement and keeps debris out of landfills.

We provide honest assessments of whether your roof is a candidate for restoration or requires replacement. If your flat roof is structurally sound but showing signs of aging such as cracks, minor leaks, or sun damage, a coating may be the appropriate solution. Roofs with failed membranes, saturated insulation, or structural damage typically require full replacement.

Insurance Roof Replacement

We have assisted countless homeowners in meeting the requirements of insurance companies’ demands, often involving roof upgrades or replacements, while taking the stress and confusion out of navigating their process. Insurance claims involve specific documentation, timelines, and scope requirements that we understand from years of experience working with adjusters and claims departments.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Still have questions? Take a look at the FAQ or reach out anytime!

  • Signs that indicate replacement include multiple active leaks, soft spots, missing layers, visible sagging or structural damage, widespread membrane failure, and roofs that have exceeded their expected service life. Age alone does not determine replacement need. Sure Roofing evaluates your roof's actual condition and provides honest recommendations on whether replacement, repair, or coating restoration is the appropriate solution.

  • Sure Roofing replaces flat roofs including torch-down and modified bitumen systems, composition shingle roofs, clay and concrete tile roofs, natural slate roofs, and metal roof systems. We select replacement materials based on your existing roof structure, architectural style, performance requirements, and budget. Each material offers different benefits for San Francisco's coastal climate.

  • Replacement timeline depends on roof size, complexity, and material type. Most residential roof replacements are completed within one to three days of active work, though tile and slate installations may take longer. Weather can affect scheduling, particularly for flat roof systems that require dry conditions for membrane installation. We provide timeline estimates during the evaluation process.

  • Reroofing and roof replacement are often used interchangeably to describe removing an old roof and installing a new system. Some contractors use reroofing to describe installing new materials over existing roofing, though this approach is not appropriate for all situations. Sure Roofing evaluates whether overlay or complete tear-off is appropriate for your specific roof.

  • Look for a contractor with experience in your specific roof type and material. The contractor should provide detailed written estimates, explain material options clearly, and have verifiable references for similar projects. Diamond Certified contractors like Sure Roofing have track records verified by independent customer surveys and all licensing documentation on file.
