AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Fresno
A full roof replacement on a typical Fresno ranch or two-story home runs between $14,000 and $28,000 for asphalt shingles, with most single-story 1,600 – 2,200 sq ft homes landing in the $16,000 – $22,000 range once tear-off, decking repairs, underlayment, and flashing are counted. We’re Crestview Roofing, and we’ve torn off and rebuilt enough roofs across Fresno and Clovis to know that no two tear-offs are the same until the old shingles come off and we see what’s underneath. That’s why we write a fixed price before any work starts and document every layer of the job with photos before and after. You’ll know who is on your roof, when we’ll arrive, and exactly what got done. Call (325) 246-5075 for a free, written estimate.
Why Crestview Roofing Is Fresno’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Fresno homeowners call us because we run jobs the way they expect a modern service to run. You get a name, an arrival time, a written price, and photo proof. That standard isn’t common in roofing, but it’s the only way we work. We’re led by Dylan Pace, and every project follows The Relay Standard: booked with a live trackable arrival window, documented with before-and-after photos, invoiced digitally by text. No four-hour windows. No phone tag.
Our reputation in neighborhoods like Fig Garden, Woodward Park, and the Tower District comes down to one thing: the price on the written estimate matches the invoice at the end. When we open a roof and find rotted decking or skip sheathing, we document it, explain what it means, and agree on any change before we proceed. That openness is what sets us apart from roofers who quote by square count and then hand you a change order when the roof is already open.
We also answer calls with a live person, 24/7. If you call at 10 p.m. with a question about your estimate, a person picks up. Not a voicemail loop.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Fresno
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement is the most common re-roof we do across Fresno, and for good reason: it balances cost, lifespan, and performance in the Central Valley heat. Most Fresno homes get between 15 and 20 years out of asphalt shingles before the underside of the shingle starts breaking down from constant attic heat cycling. We install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning systems, and we spec them specifically for Fresno’s climate.
A full asphalt replacement in Fresno includes tear-off of the old shingles, inspection of the decking, new synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield in valleys and around penetrations, new drip edge, and new flashing at pipes, chimneys, and skylights. On a standard 1,800 sq ft single-story home, expect to pay $16,000 to $22,000. Larger two-story homes or steep roofs run higher, typically $22,000 to $28,000.
Tear-Off and Decking Inspection
Fresno is full of 1960s and 1970s ranch homes built with skip sheathing, which is just 1x boards spaced apart with gaps between them. On top of that, many roofs have had a second layer of shingles nailed over the original. When we open a roof like that, the decking almost always needs to be reinforced or replaced before new shingles go on. We’ll show you photos of exactly what we found.
Ventilation and Heat Management
Fresno attics routinely hit 150°F or more in July and August. That heat bakes shingles from underneath, which is why so many local roofs fail visually fine on the surface but crumble when touched. We calculate ridge and soffit ventilation for your roof’s square footage so the attic breathes. Proper ventilation is not optional here. It’s often the difference between a 12-year roof and a 20-year roof.
New Roof Installation in Fresno
New Roof Installation in Fresno covers everything from a first roof on new construction in the Harlan Ranch or Loma Vista areas to a complete re-roof after a full tear-off. It also applies when a homeowner in the Sunnyside or Hoover neighborhoods buys a house knowing the roof is shot and wants it replaced before move-in. New roof installation runs $17,000 to $30,000 for most Fresno homes, depending on square count, roof pitch, and whether we’re tearing off one layer or two.
New construction jobs give us the cleanest slate, because we’re laying shingles on fresh decking with no unknowns hiding underneath. On remodels and re-roofs, the price is set after we inspect the roof, check the attic, and confirm what’s under the existing shingles.
Architectural Shingle Systems
Most Fresno homeowners choose architectural shingles for their dimensional look and better wind performance. A 22-square roof in architectural GAF Timberline HDZ typically lands around $17,000 to $23,000 installed. We install these with a six-nail fastening pattern, which locks in the manufacturer’s 130 mph wind rating. That matters when the Santa Ana wind events come through in October.
Flat and Low-Slope Roofs
Fresno has plenty of mid-century homes and additions with low-slope or flat roof sections, especially around Fresno High and McLane. Flat roofing is a different animal: we use membrane systems, and the details at parapet walls and drains matter more than shingle laps. If your roof has a flat section over a patio or garage, we’ll spec it separately so water doesn’t pool and find its way inside.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fresno
We install and stand behind GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and other major manufacturers. That means your material warranty comes straight from the maker, not from a no-name stack of shingles that showed up on a pallet. Because we run replacement jobs across Fresno weekly, our crews know the specific shingle weights and venting requirements for each brand’s install spec. Need CertainTeed Landmark in Weathered Wood? We’ll have it on your roof, not backordered for six weeks. Material quality here is never a variable you have to gamble on.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Fresno Homes
- Skip sheathing under original shingles. Homes built before 1980 around Fig Garden and Tower District often have spaced boards instead of solid plywood. It’s fine under a 3-tab roof from 1972. It does not meet code for a modern architectural shingle install, so the decking gets upgraded before we lay anything down.
- Second-layer reroof without permits. A lot of Fresno roofs have two layers of shingles because whoever replaced the roof 20 years ago just nailed over the old one. We can’t warranty a new roof installed over that, so we tear both layers off and start clean.
- Shingle backside heat damage from under-vented attics. We find shingles that look intact from the street but crumble when handled. The attic baked them from below. Adding ridge and soffit ventilation is the fix, and it’s part of every full replacement we quote.
- Valleys and pipe boots sealed with caulk instead of proper flashing. The first leak after a wet Fresno winter is almost always at a valley or a plumbing vent boot. We flash every penetration with ice and water shield and metal, not mastic, and we take photos of the finished detail before we leave.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Fresno, CA
Expect a full asphalt shingle roof replacement on a typical Fresno home to run $16,000 to $22,000 for a one-story, with two-story and steep roofs landing in the $22,000 to $28,000 range. New roof installation on new construction starts around $17,000 and climbs based on complexity. What moves the number? Square footage, roof pitch, number of layers being torn off, whether decking needs replacement, and the shingle grade you pick. We give you a written line-item estimate before any work begins, and that number doesn’t change unless you approve a change in writing first. Call (325) 246-5075 to schedule a free estimate.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Fresno
Most single-story Fresno homes take two to three working days from tear-off to final inspection. A two-story or steep roof adds a day, and if we find decking repairs or a second layer that needs removing, it can stretch to four days. We’ll give you a start date and a realistic finish window in writing before we start. Call (325) 246-5075 to get a timeline for your specific roof.
Yes. Every full roof replacement in Fresno requires a building permit from the City of Fresno, and the job has to pass a final inspection before it’s legal. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and stand behind passing it. Any roofer telling you a permit is optional here is cutting a corner that will catch up with you when you sell the house.
The honest answer: decking. Fresno’s older housing stock often has skip sheathing or water-damaged plywood that you can’t see until the shingles come off. If we find rotted or spaced decking, we’ll document it with photos, explain what it means, and get your written approval before we proceed. That’s the only thing that changes a price on one of our jobs. Call (325) 246-5075 if you want to understand what we’d be looking for on your roof.
We spec architectural shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning paired with a balanced ridge-and-soffit ventilation system. Fresno attics regularly exceed 150°F in summer, and that heat cycling is what kills shingles early. The right venting lets attic heat escape instead of cooking your shingles from underneath. It also keeps winter tule fog from condensing on the decking, which is its own slow rot problem here.
Ignore the bottom-line number first. Look at whether the quote confirms decking condition, includes tear-off of all layers, specifies underlayment and ice and water shield in valleys, names the shingle brand and fastening pattern, and includes a ventilation plan. A quote for $4,000 less that skips ice and water shield or reuses old flashing is not cheaper. It’s an unpaid invoice waiting for a rainstorm. We’ll walk you through line items on any Fresno quote and tell you what’s missing. Call (325) 246-5075 and we’ll help you compare.
