Roof Replacement & Installation in Sacramento

Roof replacement means stripping the old roofing material down to the deck (or sometimes overlaying, though most reputable Carmichael contractors will steer you away from that), inspecting and repairing the plywood or OSB sheathing underneath, installing new underlayment and flashing, and laying new shingles, tile, or metal panels. It's a bigger job than a repair: expect a crew on your roof for one to three days, a dumpster in the driveway, and a fair amount of noise. New installation, on an addition or a home that never had a roof to begin with, follows the same sequence but starts from bare framing.

We've profiled 7 roofing contractors serving Carmichael in this category, ranging from small owner-operated crews to larger regional companies. Before hiring any of them, get a written estimate that breaks out materials, labor, tear-off, disposal, and any deck repair contingency, and confirm the contractor carries current liability insurance and workers' comp (not just a license number on a business card). Ask who actually pulls the permit and who will be on the roof day-to-day, since some companies sell the job and subcontract the labor.

Our ranked guide to Carmichael roofing contractors scores each business on review consistency, responsiveness, and how well they handle the details buyers actually complain about, like cleanup and follow-through on warranty claims. See our methodology for how we weigh these factors.
