Questions on Roof Repair, Answered!

The Yancey Family, Serving Sacramento Since 1888

Many homeowners are wary about bringing their problems to the attention of professional roofers. Why? It’s because many roofers charge them just for a consultation. We understand why, but we don’t agree with that practice.

We listen to you, the customer! Even here and now, we are willing to answer some of the most common questions on roof repair posed by Sacramento residents, for free.

Is it possible to repair my roof?
Regardless of the problem or type of your roof, the answer is almost always yes. Unfortunately, it’s not always the recommended solution. Professional contractors can replace broken and missing shingles, seal leaks, or repair flashings and ridge caps. However, when the problems are severe or the costs too high, roofers may also suggest a roof replacement as a more cost-effective solution.
How much will it cost to replace my roof?
Only after a thorough roof inspection can a contractor provide you with an accurate costing. As a guideline though, most roof replacements in Sacramento cost anywhere from $10K to $25K depending on the contractor providing the service, the materials used for the project, and the size of the roof to be replaced. For more accurate costing, you can call us for a free, no-obligation roof inspection and we’ll give you an immediate estimate.
How long will the project take?
As with any roof repair or replacement project in Sacramento, the duration of the work depends on the complexity and scope of the project. The weather can also play a factor. But barring bad weather, most roofing contractors can roof up to 1000 square feet per day or more. Again, this also depends on the material you chose for the project and the contractor doing it. For example, metal roofs are easier to install compared to asphalt shingles because of the latter’s layers.

“I need a total bathroom remodel, and everyone at Yancey has been a delight to work with. All my questions have been answered, the choices of materials were abundant, and Scott guided us expertly through the process one step at a time. I would highly recommend them!”

Laura Powell

“Yancey was awesome to work with. My estimator was Brian Speaks, and he made the entire experience simple and enjoyable for us. There was no high pressure sales, and Brian went out of his way to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and needed. His pricing was fair, and he helped us get financing right on the spot. If I would provide more than 5 stars, I would.”

Ryan Calderwood

“Tommy was very helpful in explaining the roofing process and itemizing the pricing. He was upfront and honest about policy and interpreting the contract for my mother and I. We are a house full of women and we are always worried about being taken advantage of price-wise but we were not treated that way. Thank you for the excellent service and stunning new roof!”

Caroline H

“I chose Yancey for my reroof because of their business longevity. They've run into every situation imaginable and Brian addressed these concerns in the contract. Being told in advance is an explanation, being told after the fact is an excuse. They gave no excuses. The team working was always on time and did exceptional quality work with dry rot repair. The roof looks great and I expect it to work well for years to come.”
