Why Crestview Roofing Is Fairfield’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Dylan Pace started Crestview Roofing in 2000 with a simple frustration: too many roofers quote one number, then bill another once the decking is exposed. Fairfield homeowners deal with this more than most because of what’s hiding under those older roofs. When we quote a replacement on a 1970s tract home near the Solano Mall, we price for the tear-off layers we expect, not just the shingles visible from the driveway.
Every Crestview job runs on The Relay Visibility Guarantee. That means a written price before work starts, before-and-after photos you can see on your phone, a live arrival time you can track, and a digital invoice sent by text. A live person answers our phones 24/7. If something fails on a covered repair within 365 days, we come back at no charge. That’s in writing, on every job.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Fairfield
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Fairfield is the most common type of full roof work we do, and the majority of those jobs use architectural shingles rather than the older three-tab style. Architectural shingles are thicker, rated for higher wind, and hold up better to the sun cycling we get in Solano County. On most Fairfield homes, a full tear-off and replacement with architectural shingles runs $11,000 to $18,000 depending on square count, pitch, and how many old layers need to come off.
Tear-Off and Decking Assessment
Before we lay a single shingle, the old roof comes off down to the decking. On Fairfield homes built between 1960 and 1990, this is where we usually find the problem. Original underlayment is often delaminated, and sections of plywood at the eaves are cupped or water-damaged. We photograph everything, text you the photos, and tell you exactly what needs replacing before we proceed.
Nailing to Wind Spec
Fairfield sits in a wind corridor between Suisun Bay and the Vaca Hills. That changes the spec. We nail shingles with the manufacturer’s required nail count, usually 6 nails per shingle in high-wind zones, and we install starter strip and drip edge to hold the edges down. A roof that’s under-nailed will last a few years in Fairfield, not 25. This is the difference between a roof that passes inspection and one that fails after the first big winter storm.
New Roof Installation in Fairfield
New Roof Installation in Fairfield applies most often to additions, ADUs, and the new construction pockets around the city. Whether you’re building a detached unit behind a Cordelia home or finishing a second-story addition near Paradise Valley, we install the full system from scratch: decking, underlayment, ice and water shield at the valleys, flashing at the penetrations, and shingles rated for Solano County wind. Typical new construction roof work in Fairfield runs $14,000 to $24,000 depending on square footage and pitch.
New Construction and ADU Roofing
Fairfield’s ADU ordinances have kicked off a wave of standalone units. These roofs need to tie into the existing drainage pattern, vent properly, and meet the same Class A fire rating as the main house. We coordinate with your general contractor and the building inspector so the roof doesn’t hold up the rest of the job.
Flat and Low-Slope Roofing
Some Fairfield homes, especially mid-century ranchers and contemporary builds near the creek, have low-slope or flat sections. These call for a different system entirely: modified bitumen or single-ply membrane, not shingles. We handle those sections as part of the overall replacement and tie them into the shingled slopes so water moves off the house instead of pooling.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fairfield
We install and repair roofs using manufacturer-backed materials from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Tamko. For Fairfield’s wind loads, we often recommend GAF Timberline or CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles because they carry high-wind ratings and Class A fire protection without a premium price. We keep the most common shingle colors and accessories stocked for Fairfield homes so a replacement doesn’t wait on a distributor in Sacramento. If you have a brand preference from a previous roof, say so on the call and we’ll price that line.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Fairfield Homes
- Multiple tear-off layers: Older Fairfield homes frequently have two or three layers of shingles because past owners reroofed over the old instead of tearing off. Each extra layer adds dump fees and labor, and bidding without checking means a price change mid-project. We check before we quote.
- Delaminated original underlayment: On homes built in the 1960s to 1990s, the original felt underlayment often crumbles when exposed. It has to come off and be replaced, which adds time and material. We’ve seen this enough in the Rancho Solano and Cordelia neighborhoods that we plan for it in our estimates.
- Dry rot at soffit, fascia, and eaves: Fairfield’s heat cycles bake the paint off and then winter rain gets into the wood. By the time you replace the roof, the eaves may need repair too. If we find rot after tear-off, you’ll see photos and get a written price for the repair before we do it.
- Poor valley and penetration flashing: Wind-driven rain in Fairfield finds every shortcut. Caulk-and-go flashing around chimneys and valleys fails years before the shingle warranty. Our replacements include proper ice and water shield at valleys and metal flashing at every penetration, which is what Solano County inspectors look for.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Fairfield
A typical Fairfield single-story home needs 22 to 32 squares of roofing. A square is 100 square feet. The number matters because shingles, underlayment, and labor are all priced by the square, so a 30-square roof costs roughly 50% more than a 20-square roof. Our written estimate always includes the square count so you can verify the math. Call (325) 246-5075 for a square-by-square breakdown of your roof.
Yes, Fairfield requires a building permit for roof replacement, and the city inspection checks that underlayment, ice and water shield at valleys, nailing pattern, flashing, and ventilation meet current code. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and stay on site until the inspector signs off. A permit adds cost but protects you from buying a roof that doesn’t meet code.
Most Fairfield roof replacements take 3 to 5 working days from tear-off to final inspection. Tear-off accounts for most of the first day. The inspection happens after shingles, flashing, and ridge vent are in place. Rain or high wind can push that timeline. We give you a written schedule before we start and update you with photos as the work progresses.
The two things that genuinely change price after tear-off are decking that must be replaced and hidden rot at the eaves or fascia. On Fairfield homes from the 1960s to 1990s, we often find delaminated underlayment or water-damaged plywood that no driveway estimate could catch. If we find it, you get photos and a written change price before we touch it. No surprise invoices.
Yes. Architectural shingles are thicker than three-tab, carry higher wind ratings, and handle Solano County’s sun and wind-driven rain much better. The cost difference in Fairfield is usually $1,200 to $2,500 on a typical home. Given local wind corridors, we strongly recommend them for any replacement. Call (325) 246-5075 and we’ll walk you through the numbers for your roof.
