We recently completed a full asphalt shingle roof replacement on Selva Drive in San Diego. If you’re researching roofing San Diego options, this project highlights why a professional roof replacement in San Diego and a free roof inspection matter. We also offer a free roof estimate and trusted options like Dibiten torchdown for flat sections.
Project Overview
- Location: Selva Drive, San Diego
- Scope: Full asphalt shingle roof replacement with new underlayment, flashing, ventilation upgrades, and wood replacement where needed. Flat roof sections received Dibiten torchdown application.
- Initial inspection: Our free roof inspection identified widespread weathering, lifted and missing shingles, and failing flashings causing active leaks. Based on findings, we provided a free roof estimate outlining full replacement costs and options.
Why Replace vs. Repair
- Long-term value: Patching would have been temporary — a full roof replacement restores weatherproofing, improves curb appeal, and offers long-term warranties.
- Safety and integrity: Replacement allowed us to remove rotten decking, properly install new underlayment and flashing, and correct ventilation to prevent future damage.
- Cost predictability: The free roof estimate compared repair vs. replacement costs; replacement proved the better investment for performance and resale value.
Materials & Work Performed
- Asphalt shingles: High-quality architectural shingles installed with manufacturer-compliant nailing patterns and starter courses.
- Underlayment: Hi quality synthetic underlayment across the roof deck for superior leak protection.
- Flashing & penetrations: New metal flashing at chimneys, skylights, and around the perimeter; pipe flashings and vents replaced. Some new attic vents were added.
- Dibiten torchdown: Flat roof areas and low-slope transitions were finished with a 2-ply Dibiten torchdown for a durable, waterproof membrane suited to San Diego’s climate.
- Cleanup & warranty: Job-site cleanup included magnetic sweep. Work completed with a workmanship warranty and manufacturer shingle warranty.
Timeline & Coordination
- Timeline: Inspection and estimate (free roof inspection/free roof estimate) → scheduling → 2–5 day replacement depending on size and wood repairs → Dibiten torchdown crew finished flat sections.
- Coordination: We coordinated inspections, material deliveries, and final walk-through with the homeowner to ensure satisfaction.
Results & Benefits
- Leak elimination and restored structural integrity.
- Enhanced energy performance and ventilation.
- Improved curb appeal and increased property value.
- Durable flat-roof protection where Dibiten torchdown was used.
