Residential Roof Replacement & Shingle Installation in Davis, CA

The primary obstacle on this Davis property was the extent of underlying structural decay hidden beneath the original shingles. Once the initial tear-off was complete, extensive sections of compromised decking were exposed, requiring immediate intervention to meet California Building Code requirements. Additionally, severe dry rot had compromised the fascia boards, particularly along a 96-foot stretch adjacent to a custom metal trellis. Ensuring the new roofing system integrated seamlessly around this trellis and the large masonry chimney required precise woodwork and custom sheet metal fabrication to prevent future water intrusion.

Upstate Roofing addressed the structural deficiencies immediately by executing comprehensive roof deck re-sheeting. We removed the damaged sections and installed fresh, code-compliant OSB and CDX plywood panels, securely fastening them to create a rock-solid, even substrate. To resolve the dry rot, our carpenters carefully removed the degraded wood and installed 96 feet of robust 2x12" fascia, matching the existing construction perfectly along the metal trellis line to restore the roof's architectural edge.

With the foundation restored, we applied a high-quality protective moisture barrier across the entire deck and secured a new 2” x 3” metal drip edge to facilitate proper drainage. Around the chimney, our technicians installed specialized synthetic underlayment and custom step, base, and counter flashing, sealing the masonry joint with premium elastomeric sealants. Finally, we installed manufacturer-approved starter strips and laid down a beautiful composition asphalt shingle system, locking the peaks with durable ridge cap shingles and integrating brand-new roof vents for optimal attic breathing.

To deliver a permanent, watertight solution, our team performed the following residential roofing services:

Roof Tear-Off & Disposal: Complete removal of the existing roofing system down to the bare deck, including one layer of shingles, with legal hauling and disposal.
Roof Deck Re-Sheeting (CDX & OSB): Removal of deteriorated sheathing and installation of new, code-compliant plywood and OSB panels to establish a secure, solid substrate.
Woodwork & Dry Rot Repair: Replacement of damaged roof framing, specifically installing 96 feet of 2x12" fascia on the right-hand side near the metal trellis.
Chimney Flashing Upgrade: Complete removal of old flashing, replaced with new step, base, and counter flashing, integrated with synthetic underlayment and premium sealants.
Drip Edge & Underlayment: Installation of a new 2” x 3” metal drip edge along all perimeters and a high-quality moisture barrier underlayment over the entire roof deck.
Shingle System Installation: Application of manufacturer-approved starter strips, followed by high-quality composition asphalt shingles, and finished with ridge cap shingles for enhanced wind and water resistance.
Flashing, Vents & Final Cleanup: Replacement of all roof vents and step flashing around penetrations, concluding with a thorough jobsite cleanup and magnetic nail sweep.

The Davis residence is now fortified with a structurally sound, fully modernized composition asphalt roofing system. The extensive CDX and OSB re-sheeting, combined with the newly installed 2x12" fascia, eradicated all structural dry rot and restored the integrity of the home's exterior. The meticulous custom flashing around the chimney and metal trellis guarantees a watertight seal against driving rain. Concluding with a rigorous jobsite cleanup and magnetic sweep, Upstate Roofing delivered a pristine property and a high-performance residential roof built to endure decades of California weather.
