New Construction Roofing in San Ramon, California

The new subdivisions in the San Ramon Valley need roofs built for the heat. The architectural shingles and the standing-seam metal handle the valley sun. New construction roofing in San Ramon works with the builders and the homeowners to get the roof right from the start.

What San Ramon New Construction Roofing Includes

• The roof deck — the plywood or the OSB sheathing fastened to the rafters
• The underlayment — the synthetic felt or the ice-and-water shield at the eaves and the valleys
• The flashing — the drip edge, the step flashing, the pipe boots, and the valley flashing
• The roofing material — the architectural shingles, the standing-seam metal, or the tile
• The ventilation — the ridge vent and the soffit vents for the balanced airflow
• The gutters — the seamless aluminum gutters and the downspouts

Why San Ramon New Construction Needs the Right Roof

The valley heat is the main factor. The roof needs to handle the summer sun and the winter rain. The architectural shingles with the proper ventilation and the ice-and-water shield at the eaves are the standard.

The new subdivisions on the valley floor have the wind exposure. The valley wind fetches across the valley and the roofs need the extra fasteners and the wind-resistant shingles.

Preventing Roof Problems in San Ramon

• Choose the right material for the valley climate — the architectural shingles handle the heat better than the 3-tab
• Use the ice-and-water shield at the eaves — the winter rain needs the extra protection
• Install the proper ventilation — the ridge vent and the soffit vents keep the attic cool
• Use the wind-resistant shingles — the valley gets the afternoon wind

Expert tip: in San Ramon, the new construction roof should start with the ventilation. The ridge vent and the soffit vents are easier to install during the new construction than the retrofit. The balanced airflow keeps the attic cool and the shingles last longer.
