Roofing company in Sacramento, CA

Five manufacturer certifications

NuShake holds five active certs. They are GAF Master Elite, GAF Solar Certified Installer, GAF Gold Elite, CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster, and Owens Corning Preferred.

That spread matters when you want a 50-year warranty. Each brand's top warranty needs its own certified contractor to install it. One cert limits your options. Five opens the full menu.

Sacramento's diverse housing stock

Sacramento is California's state capital. It also has many home styles. That mix means different roofing needs in each neighborhood.

Land Park & Curtis Park. Victorian and Craftsman homes with steep pitches and a wood shake history.

East Sacramento. Mid-century ranch and bungalow homes with aging shingle roofs.

Natomas. Newer subdivisions from the 1990s to 2010s, many due for their first replacement.

Midtown. Older multi-unit and mixed construction.

Elk Grove & Rancho Cordova borders. Suburban tract homes with standard asphalt shingle.

Our crew checks each neighborhood's roofing profile before we quote. There is no one-size formula for Sacramento roofing.

There's also a timing pattern worth knowing. A large share of the metro's 1990s-through-2010s subdivisions — Natomas, Elk Grove, and the Rancho Cordova edge among them — are reaching the age where their original asphalt shingle is due for its first replacement, and they're hitting it in the same few years. We wrote up what that clustering means for scheduling and material lead times in our Sacramento metro roof-replacement wave guide. And like the rest of the Valley, Sacramento roofs sit under weeks of winter tule fog that keeps north-facing slopes damp, so we check decking and underlayment before we quote.

Why pair solar with a new roof

Sacramento summers are long, bright, and hot, and cooling bills climb with them every July. That same sun can power your home — and the best moment to add solar is when the roof comes off. NuShake is GAF Solar Certified, so we handle the roof and the solar work as a single project, with one contractor instead of two.

There is a practical reason too: panels installed on an aging roof have to come off whenever that roof gets replaced, while panels on a brand-new roof stay put for decades.

NEM 3.0 changed the math

Under NEM 3.0 (California's current solar billing rules), power you send back to the grid earns less than it once did. That makes planning matter more than ever, so pairing solar with your roof replacement — and right-sizing the system to how your home actually uses energy — is now the smarter path.

A new roof planned around the solar.

No paying twice to remove and reinstall panels.
