New construction and remodel installs across Martinez — we coordinate with your GC, hit framing inspection windows, and finish to architect-spec.
New-construction and addition roofing in Martinez lives or dies on coordination. We work to the architect's spec and the GC's schedule — dry-in at the right framing stage so the trades behind us aren't waiting, then the finished system once the building is ready. That means hitting framing-inspection windows, getting ventilation and flashing details right the first time, and leaving a roof that passes Contra Costa County final without a punch list.
Martinez's hot inland summers shape the new-roof spec — proper attic ventilation and heat-tolerant materials so the roof isn't aging from day one under the UV that bakes the region.
Every roof in Martinez answers to the same forces: a Sheltered inland bay, 20" annual rainfall, mild year-round, and an aging housing stock dominated by Victorian, Craftsman, county seat historic downtown. The specific local stressors that decide how long a roof actually lasts here: Sheltered location generally mild, but winter storms can bring significant rainfall. Historic homes often have original wood shingles or early asphalt shingles past their lifespan. We've spent enough time on Martinez roofs to know which failure modes show up first, and we plan new roof installation around them rather than discovering them halfway through the job.
That's how we prefer to work on Martinez new builds — we slot into your GC's schedule, dry-in at the right stage, and come back for the finished roof so the project keeps moving.
Yes — additions, ADUs, and dormers are common Martinez jobs. The tricky part is tying the new roof into the existing one watertight; that transition is where we spend the most care.
On a ground-up build the GC usually holds the master permit and we work under it, owning the roofing inspection. On a standalone re-roof or addition we pull the Contra Costa County permit ourselves.
