NuShake came out to our house and removed the old roof, installed the new roof with all the trim and the aluminum around the vents, and it looks brand new. They did it all in one day and did an excellent job. I highly recommend them.

NuShake did a beautiful job of installing my new roof. The amazing crew seemed to work non-stop and the roof turned out beautifully. My property was completely cleaned of any debris and I commend them all for doing a fantastic job.
The process from start to finish was excellent. Lindsey (office manager) and Sergio (estimator) respond quickly and efficiently to calls, emails, and texts. Edgar, Carlos, and Jose were very communicative when I had questions during the removal, dry rot repair, and installation of new roof.
When to schedule a roof inspection
Most Bay Area homeowners benefit from a roof inspection every 3-5 years, plus after any major storm event.
NuShake's documented inspection is $349 in the Central Valley or $525 in the Bay Area — Brian or a senior crew member walks your roof, documents condition with photos, and delivers a written report within 1-2 business days.
The inspection isn't a pretext to upsell a replacement; many of our reports tell homeowners their roof has 5-10 years of remaining service life with minor maintenance.
Schedule an inspection when any of these apply:
| You've owned the home 5+ years and have never had it inspected. |
| You've noticed minor leaking or water staining. |
| You're considering a home sale and want to disclose roof condition accurately. |
| Your insurance company requested a roof condition report for renewal. |
| You're planning a solar install and want to confirm the roof has enough remaining life to justify the panels (we recommend at least 15 years of remaining roof life before solar). |
What our 30-50-point
inspection covers
Every NuShake inspection walks every roof slope, every penetration, every transition, and the attic interior where accessible. We document:
| Shingle / tile / membrane condition: granule loss, curling, cracking, lifted edges, hail damage, fading patterns |
| Ridge + hip caps: proper nailing, sealant integrity, lifted caps from wind events |
| Valleys + flashings: sealant condition, kickout flashing presence, step-flashing wear at chimneys and walls |
| Pipe boots + vent stacks: rubber boot integrity (replacement typically needed at year 8-12), sealant condition |
| Skylights + chimneys: curb flashing, counter-flashing, sealant + caulk condition |
| Gutters + downspouts: attachment, slope, debris, splash impact at fascia |
| Eaves + fascia: sign of water staining, soft spots indicating decking decay |
| Attic interior: insulation condition, ventilation adequacy, moisture staining on rafters |
Common issues we find
in Central Valley and Bay Area homes
After decades of roofing experience, NuShake has cataloged the most common roof failure patterns in the Central Valley and Bay Area.
Pipe boots crack from UV exposure at years 8-12 — almost universally need replacement on roofs older than a decade. Kickout flashings are missing from many homes built before 2005 — this is where water from a wall meets a roof valley, and missing kickout flashing routes water behind siding into the wall cavity.
Valley flashings wear at years 12-18 even on 30-year shingle roofs; we replace them during inspection if needed.
Atmospheric river storms 2023-2024 exposed widespread underlayment failures on Bay Area roofs installed in the mid-1990s — the underlayment outlived its rated 25-year service window. Our inspections specifically document underlayment condition, which is the layer that prevents long-term leaks even when individual shingles are still intact.
What we look for
on Central Valley roofs
Central Valley roofs age differently than coastal ones. Summer heat in Ripon, Manteca, and Stockton runs 100 to 105°F for weeks, and that heat dries out shingles and cracks pipe boots (rubber seals around vent pipes) ahead of schedule.
Valley dust and orchard debris collect in gutters and roof valleys, where they trap moisture. Tule-fog winters keep shaded slopes damp for weeks, and winter wind events can lift ridge caps.
Our inspection checklist gives Valley homes extra attention at each of these wear points.
Written report — what you get
Within 1-2 business days of your inspection, you receive a written report that includes:
| A summary of overall roof condition, with a remaining service-life estimate. |
| Photo documentation of any issues found. |
| Prioritized recommendations (immediate vs. deferred vs. cosmetic). |
| Repair quotes where applicable. |
| A replacement quote if remaining life is under 3 years. |
Many homeowners use these reports for insurance documentation, home-sale disclosures, or solar feasibility checks. The inspection fee is $349 in the Central Valley or $525 in the Bay Area, and the written report is yours to keep and share.

No. The inspection produces a written report — findings and a recommendation. NuShake does not use high-pressure sales tactics. Brian's owner-operated approach is built on honest assessments. You take the report, share it with other contractors if you want, and make your own decision on your timeline.
We prefer someone to be present for the on-site verbal summary at the end of the inspection. If that is not possible, we can conduct the exterior inspection and deliver the written report remotely. Contact us when scheduling to arrange the right access setup.
Yes, when accessible. Brian's crew checks the attic for moisture damage, mold indicators, insulation voids, and ventilation adequacy. The attic check often reveals active leaks that are not yet visible from the exterior. Let us know when scheduling if attic access needs coordination.
It's documented. It's written. It's yours.
