At Upstate Roofing, we pride ourselves on providing Northern California homeowners with reliable, long-lasting roofing systems. For this property, the homeowner needed a comprehensive structural and exterior overhaul. Whether we are conducting a standard shingle tear-off or a full Tile to Composition Roof Replacement in Citrus Heights, CA, our goal is always to deliver a safe, code-compliant, and visually stunning result. This project required extensive dry rot repair, a complete gutter replacement, and the installation of a premium GAF Lifetime Shingle system.

Project Challenges

Upon our initial inspection and tear-off, we uncovered a massive area of severe dry rot and wood deterioration along the roof's overhang, which completely compromised the eaves. Additionally, the home's original water routing systems—including the old gutters and roof valleys—were failing, leaving the property vulnerable to future moisture intrusion.

Our Solution

Before any new roofing materials could be laid, our carpentry team carefully cut away the extensive wood rot and spliced in brand-new, sturdy plywood to restore the roof's structural integrity. We then protected the fresh deck with high-performance GAF synthetic underlayment. To permanently solve the water routing issues, we constructed a closed-cut valley system to efficiently channel water down the slopes, installed a chimney cricket to prevent pooling, and completely replaced the outdated gutters with a modern system.

The property has been completely transformed. The new GAF Timberline Reflector Series shingles in Stone Gray provide a sleek, modern aesthetic while actively reflecting solar heat to improve the home's energy efficiency. With the structural wood fully repaired and a flawless new gutter system in place, this Citrus Heights home is thoroughly protected against the elements for decades to come.
