Walnut Creek Roofers installs and replaces asphalt shingle roofs across the East Bay, and every job starts with the same question: is the deck under those shingles still sound. Shingle roofing means stripping the old courses down to the sheathing, replacing rotted plywood, and rebuilding the layers that actually keep water out, including underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and a starter course held with ring-shank nails.

Most East Bay homes wear fiberglass asphalt shingles in three-tab, architectural, or designer. Three-tab is lightest and cheapest. Architectural shingles, called dimensional or laminated, carry a heavier granulated surface and hold up better off a roofline here. Some older roofs are wood shake or slate.
Under the shingles sit the parts that matter more: synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield along the eaves and valleys, and self-adhered membrane at the penetrations. Step flashing, counter-flashing, and chimney flashing get resealed, and drip edge keeps water off the fascia.
Cost tracks roof pitch, how many layers come off in the tear-off, and whether the sheathing is still solid. Hot, dry summers, hail, and winter rain hit shingle and modified bitumen alike. And mid-century modern, Spanish revival, and contemporary homes all pitch differently.
