Roof Installation
Expert roof installation for new construction, additions, and major renovations.
Why Proper Roof Installation Is Critical
You can buy the highest quality roofing materials available, but if they're not installed correctly, your roof won't perform as it should. Poor installation leads to premature failures, voids warranties, and can cause expensive damage to your building. That's why choosing the right roofing contractor for your installation project is one of the most important decisions you'll make during construction or renovation.
At CVR Castro Valley Roof Solutions, we specialize in new roof installations for residential and commercial buildings throughout Castro Valley. Whether you're building a new home, adding an addition to an existing building, or replacing an entire roof system, we have the expertise and experience to install your roof correctly the first time. We follow manufacturer specifications exactly, use proper techniques, and stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties.
Our installation crews are highly trained professionals who take pride in their work. We don't cut corners or rush through projects to move on to the next job. We build every roof as if we were going to live under it ourselves, paying attention to every detail from the roof deck to the final shingle or panel. This commitment to quality means your roof will protect your building for decades and perform exactly as intended.

Our Installation Process
We follow a systematic approach to every roof installation that ensures quality results and minimizes problems. Here's how we work:
Planning and Preparation
Before installation begins, we review architectural plans, verify all materials and accessories are on site, coordinate delivery schedules, and ensure all necessary permits are obtained. We schedule inspections with building departments at appropriate stages of the project. This planning prevents delays and ensures everything goes smoothly once installation begins.
Deck Inspection and Preparation
We carefully inspect the roof decking before installing any roofing materials. Any damaged, warped, or inadequate decking is repaired or replaced. The deck must be solid, smooth, and properly fastened to provide a suitable substrate for roofing. We also ensure proper ventilation is installed before proceeding with the roofing system.
Underlayment and Protection
We install appropriate underlayment for your roofing material and climate conditions. This includes ice and water shield in vulnerable areas, quality synthetic underlayment for the field, and proper edge protection. The underlayment provides a critical secondary layer of water protection.
Flashing Installation
Flashing is installed around all roof penetrations, valleys, eaves, and transitions before roofing material goes on. Proper flashing installation is critical to preventing leaks and is often where less experienced installers make mistakes. We use premium flashing materials and follow best practices for your specific roofing type.
Roofing Material Installation
We install your chosen roofing material following manufacturer specifications exactly. This includes proper fastener types and spacing, correct overlap patterns, appropriate starter courses, and proper ridge and hip cap installation. For commercial buildings, our commercial roofing expertise ensures low-slope systems are installed to exacting standards.
Final Inspection and Cleanup
After installation is complete, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure everything meets our quality standards. We clean up thoroughly, removing all debris and using magnetic sweepers to collect nails and metal scraps. We coordinate final inspections with building departments and provide you with all warranty paperwork and care instructions.
Materials We Install
