🔹 Introduction:
If you’re a homeowner in Sacramento, chances are you’ll need to repair or replace your roof at some point. Whether it’s because of age, weather damage, or a home renovation, roofing can be a big investment—and it’s natural to have questions.
At 916ContractorPros, we’ve worked with hundreds of local homeowners and compiled the top 5 roofing questions we get all the time—with straight, honest answers.
🔸 1. How Long Does a New Roof Last in Sacramento?
A typical asphalt shingle roof in Sacramento lasts between 20–30 years depending on the materials and ventilation. Tile or metal roofs can last 40–70 years with proper maintenance.
🌞 Sacramento’s hot summers can shorten a roof’s lifespan if it’s not properly ventilated, so we always recommend installing ridge vents or attic fans.
🔸 2. What Type of Roofing Material Is Best for My Home?
This depends on your budget, climate, and roof pitch. In Sacramento, most homeowners choose:
- Asphalt shingles: Affordable and easy to install
- Tile roofing: Great for heat resistance, especially in hot valleys
- Metal roofing: Durable and energy efficient
We’ll help you compare costs and performance based on your home’s structure and aesthetic goals.
🔸 3. Do I Need a Permit for a Roof Replacement?
Yes. In Sacramento County and surrounding cities, you need a permit for any full roof replacement.
We handle all permit applications for our clients, so there’s no paperwork for you to worry about.

🔸 4. How Much Does a Roof Replacement Cost?
On average:
- Small homes: $8,000–$12,000
- Medium homes: $12,000–$18,000
- Large homes or premium materials: $20,000+
We offer free roof inspections and detailed estimates with no pressure. Cost can vary based on slope, material, and whether the underlayment needs replacing.

🔸 5. Can You Work with My Insurance Company?
Absolutely. If your roof was damaged by wind, storms, or fallen trees, your homeowner’s insurance may cover the repair.
We’ll:
- Inspect the damage
- Help you file the claim
- Work with your adjuster to ensure the right repairs are approved
✅ We’ve helped over 100 Sacramento homeowners navigate roofing claims with success.
❓ Bonus FAQ: Can I Roof Over My Existing Shingles?
Technically, yes. But roof-overs (also called “overlays”) can void warranties and don’t allow for proper inspection of the decking underneath. We recommend full tear-offs for long-term protection—especially in the hot Sacramento climate.
