Six shingles. That was all the original insurance scope included. 👀

This Mira Mesa homeowner was facing a small roof repair that would not have addressed everything we found. Our inspection documented wind-damaged shingles, a deteriorated valley, and vulnerable low-slope transitions. The existing three-tab shingles were also discontinued, making a proper matching repair a challenge.

After the insurance carrier reviewed the additional documentation, the approved scope expanded to nearly half of the roof.

We removed one layer of roofing, replaced damaged plywood roof sheathing at the valley, and rebuilt the transition into the patio cover. The main roof received Owens Corning Oakridge shingles in Driftwood with Titanium UDL30 underlayment. We used Titanium PSU30 in the approximately 2:12 areas and installed a three-layer Owens Corning DeckSeal system across the low-slope sections.

For the approved work, the homeowner’s responsibility was limited to the deductible required by her policy.

The hardest part of this commercial roof replacement wasn’t the roof.

It was the four rooftop units sitting on top of it.

Before we could replace the aging tar-and-gravel roof on this Escondido property, all four equipment units had to be removed. That gave us the access needed to tear off the old roofing and install the new system correctly beneath them.

Our team installed new equipment curbs, replaced four roof drains, and completed the flat roof with a two-ply Johns Manville DIBITEN APP torch-down system. The rooftop units were then reinstalled, and we repaired the adjoining tile roof areas.

Here is the part property owners do not always see: a commercial flat roof is more than the white membrane. The details around equipment curbs, drains, penetrations, and roof transitions are what bring the entire system together.

Look through the photos to see the completed project from above.

🚨 THINK YOU'RE SAVING MONEY BY ROOFING OVER OLD SHINGLES?

You might be...

But probably not in the way you think.

This Rancho Peñasquitos home had two complete layers of shingles before we ever installed the new roof.

A lot of homeowners are told that installing another layer of shingles is a "money saver."

Here's what usually isn't explained.

The tear-off and dump fees are only one part of a reroof.

You still have to buy...

✔ New shingles

✔ Underlayment

✔ Flashings

✔ Ventilation

✔ Labor

✔ Accessories

The biggest difference is that most major manufacturers don't warranty shingles the same way when they're installed over an existing roof.

Even worse, stacking shingles traps more heat. That additional heat can cause faster granule loss, uneven aging, and expose the fiberglass mat much sooner than a properly installed roofing system.

That's why we removed both roofing layers on this Rancho Peñasquitos home before installing Titanium 30 synthetic underlayment and Owens Corning Duration Cool Sand Castle shingles.

Sometimes the cheapest roof ends up being the most expensive one.

🏠 Most homeowners choose a new roof by looking at the shingle color.

But the shingles are only one part of the roofing system.

A quality roof is built in layers, and what goes underneath the shingles is just as important as what you see from the street.

For this home in Escondido, we removed the existing roofing system and started fresh with a complete roof replacement.

The new roofing system features Titanium® 30 synthetic underlayment beneath Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles in Amber, creating a durable roofing system designed to protect the home for years to come.

While the new Amber shingles gave the home a beautiful updated appearance, the real value is knowing every layer of the roof was installed correctly from the roof deck up.

Zenith Truth

A beautiful roof catches your eye. A properly installed roofing system protects your home.

This roof had more than 300 cracked lightweight concrete roof tiles.

At first glance, you might think that was the reason for the leaks.

It wasn't.

Once we removed the tiles around the skylights and chimney, we found the real issues. Several areas were missing aluminum tile pan flashing, mortar had been used where proper flashing belonged, and one section of the roof deck had been damaged by moisture over time.

We replaced the damaged tiles, installed new aluminum tile pan flashing, added self-adhered waterproofing around the skylights and chimney, replaced the damaged plywood, and rebuilt each area correctly before reinstalling the surrounding tiles.

One of the most important parts of a roof inspection is finding the problems you can't see from the ground. That's where experience makes the difference.

🚨 The insurance company thought this roof could be replaced with shingles.

The problem?

The homeowner didn't have a shingle roof.

One of the biggest misconceptions about roof insurance claims is that the insurance company's first estimate is the final answer. In reality, it's often just the beginning of the claims process.

This homeowner in Escondido contacted us after high winds damaged the existing metal roof on their mobile home. The original insurance estimate proposed replacing it with asphalt shingles and simply wasn't enough to restore the existing roofing system.

After inspecting the roof, we documented the existing conditions and provided the information needed to support a like-kind replacement. The insurance carrier revised the claim, allowing the homeowner to receive substantially more insurance benefits under their policy and move forward with a roofing solution that better reflected the home's existing roof.

The project became even more unique because mobile home roofing permits for this community are processed through Riverside County. Their approved construction requirements required the existing metal roof to remain in place.

Working with WeatherBond, we installed a fully adhered TPO roofing system directly over the existing metal roof using CAV-GRIP bonding adhesive, heat-welded seams, and TPO-coated drip edge, creating a durable, energy-efficient roofing system built for decades of protection.

This project is a great reminder that every insurance policy is different, every roof is different, and every claim deserves a thorough inspection before deciding what the proper solution should be.

Zenith Truth

The first insurance estimate is a starting point, not always the finish line. A properly documented claim helps ensure the homeowner receives the roofing system their policy was written to restore.

When you can see fiberglass, your roof is telling you something. 🏠☀️

This roof in Vista had reached the point where the protective granules had worn away, exposing the fiberglass mat beneath the shingles. Once the fiberglass is exposed, the shingles lose much of the protection they were designed to provide, leaving the roof more vulnerable to sun, weather, and eventually leaks.

For this project, we removed the aging roofing system and installed Titanium 30 synthetic underlayment before finishing the roof with Owens Corning Oakridge architectural shingles in Amber. While the new roof gave the home a beautiful updated appearance, the biggest improvement is the complete roofing system underneath.

One of the most common misconceptions is that a roof only needs to be replaced once it starts leaking. In reality, the warning signs usually show up much earlier. Exposed fiberglass, excessive granule loss, curling shingles, and brittle roofing materials are all indicators that a roof is nearing the end of its service life.

Replacing a roof before water intrusion begins is almost always less stressful and more predictable than dealing with emergency repairs after a leak develops. 🔨

This Fallbrook home came with a challenge before we ever climbed onto the roof. Limited driveway access meant every bundle of shingles, every piece of debris, and every delivery had to be coordinated to keep the project moving efficiently.

Once work began, we removed two existing layers of roofing, exposing the roof deck so the new roofing system could start with a clean foundation. In total, this project covered more than 50 squares, making planning and organization just as important as the installation itself.

The homeowners selected Owens Corning Duration Cool shingles in the Night Sky color, giving the home a bold new appearance while installing a complete roofing system designed for long-term protection.

One thing many people don't realize is that tearing off multiple roofing layers adds more than labor. It also adds weight, debris handling, and time. Starting fresh allows the roof deck to be inspected and ensures the new roofing system isn't being installed over aging materials that have already reached the end of their life.

Every project has its own challenges. The goal is always the same: leave behind a roof that's built to last. 🔨

One photo from this Rancho Santa Fe project explains why tile roofs eventually need a lift and lay. 🏡

This custom home near the golf course came to us after a general contractor saw our work on another new construction project and asked Zenith Roofing Services to handle the roofing on this build.

We installed Westlake Saxony 900 concrete tile in Blend Charcoal over Malarkey Right Start UDL synthetic underlayment, working alongside the painters, stucco crews, window installers, deck contractors, plumbers, and the general contractor to keep construction moving on schedule.

One of the photos from this project also shows something homeowners almost never get to see.

It shows what 30-year-old tile underlayment looks like after the tiles have been removed. Notice how the underlayment has worn through where the flat portion of each concrete tile rests. Years of heat, expansion, contraction, and the weight of the tile slowly wear away the waterproofing layer beneath the roof.

That's why tile roofs can begin leaking even though the concrete tiles themselves still look perfectly good from the ground. The tiles are designed to shed water, but it's the underlayment underneath them that keeps the home dry.

By the time you can see damage from inside the house, that aging process has usually been happening for years.

Sometimes the part you can't buy is the part you have to build. 🔨🏡

This Valley Center home featured an older Los Arcos concrete tile roof, and that created an interesting challenge. The original tile profile has a much larger barrel than today's concrete roof tiles, and the matching bird stop flashing is no longer manufactured.

Instead of trying to make a standard product fit, we fabricated custom metal bird stop flashing to properly support the existing tile and maintain the integrity of the roofing system.

After removing the tiles, we installed two layers of Malarkey UDL synthetic underlayment, renewed the waterproofing beneath the roof, and carefully reinstalled the original tiles. We also replaced the low-slope roof with a terra cotta granulated two-ply torch-down roofing system, giving every section of the home the roofing material best suited for its design.

To finish the project, we pressure washed the tile roof, revealing the natural color that had been hidden beneath years of dirt and weathering. The difference was incredible.

Every roof has its own challenges. Sometimes the right solution isn't found in a catalog. It's built specifically for the home.
