Our Residential Roof Replacement Process
At Falcon Roofing, we’ve refined our roof replacement process over three decades to minimize disruption and maximize quality. Here’s what you can expect:
Step 1: Free Roof Inspection
We begin with a thorough inspection of your existing roof to assess its condition, identify problem areas, and determine whether roof repair or complete replacement is the best solution. This inspection is completely free with no obligation.
Step 2: Detailed Proposal & Material Selection
After the inspection, we provide a detailed written proposal that outlines the scope of work, materials recommended, project timeline, and transparent pricing. We’ll help you understand your roof replacement cost and explore material options that fit your needs.
Step 3: Permit Acquisition
We handle all necessary permit applications with the City of Mountain View or your local municipality. Our team ensures your project complies with California Title 24 energy efficiency requirements and local building codes.
Step 4: Roof Removal & Deck Inspection
Our experienced crew carefully removes your old roofing materials and inspects the roof deck for any damage or rot. We repair or replace damaged decking to ensure a solid foundation for your new roof.
Step 5: Installation of New Roofing System
We install your new roof using manufacturer-approved techniques and premium underlayment materials. Whether you’ve chosen Presidential shingles or another material, we follow strict quality standards throughout installation.
Step 6: Final Inspection & Cleanup
After installation, we conduct a thorough quality inspection and complete cleanup of your property. We walk you through your new roof, answer any questions, and provide warranty documentation and maintenance guidance.
Most residential roof replacement projects are completed in 1-3 days, depending on roof size and complexity.
Residential Roofing Materials We Install
Choosing the right roofing material is crucial for your home’s protection, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. Falcon Roofing specializes in all major roofing systems:
Asphalt Shingles
The most popular residential roofing material in America, asphalt shingles offer excellent value, variety, and performance. We install both standard architectural shingles and premium options that replicate the look of slate or wood shake.
Tile Roofing
Clay and concrete tile roofs are iconic in California architecture. They provide exceptional durability (50+ year lifespan), fire resistance, and energy efficiency. Tile roofing is particularly popular in Los Altos and Palo Alto’s historic neighborhoods.
Metal Roofing
Modern metal roofing systems combine longevity (40-70 years), energy efficiency, and sleek aesthetics. Metal roofs are lightweight, fire-resistant, and increasingly popular with environmentally conscious Bay Area homeowners.
Cool Roof & Title 24 Compliant Systems
California’s Title 24 energy standards require cool roof systems for many residential applications. We’re experts in cool roof technology that reflects solar heat, reduces cooling costs, and meets all state requirements.
Solar-Ready Roofing
Planning to add solar panels? We can design and install roofing systems optimized for future solar installation, ensuring your roof structure can support panels and integrating solar considerations from the start.

Several variables influence your total project cost:
- Roof size (measured in squares – one square = 100 sq ft)
- Roof pitch and complexity (steeper roofs require more safety equipment and labor)
- Material selection (asphalt shingles vs. tile or metal)
- Removal of existing materials (number of layers to remove)
- Deck repairs (replacing damaged plywood or sheathing)
- Permit fees (vary by city and project scope)
- Additional features (skylights, chimneys, gutter replacement)

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Roof Replacement
How do I know if I need roof replacement or just repairs?
Most roofs can be repaired if damage is localized and the roof is relatively young (under 15 years for asphalt shingles). Consider replacement if your roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan (20+ years), has widespread damage, multiple leaks, or extensive missing shingles. Our free inspection will provide an honest assessment.

Do you offer warranties on roof replacement?
Yes. We provide manufacturer warranties on materials (typically 20-50 years depending on the product) and workmanship warranties on our installation. We’ll explain all warranty coverage in detail before your project begins.
