"Overall the job went well, the workers were kind and friendly. They did not do the best job with clean up - nails left in front of and around our house, materials in our neighbors yards. Though when I let Carlos know our concerns he was there the very next day to clean up and inspect the job. Carlos is very attentive and approachable. Out of the 4 Rooferâ s I interviewed, I felt most comfortable with him. He provided information and was not overly pushy. Overall a great experience."

We welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service. No job is too big or too small for our experienced team. Call today for a quote.

"This was my second project with HEXAGON CONSTRUCTION and by far the largest and most complex. (Replacing an old, clay tile roof on a three story house is no job for a rookie.) HEXAGON’s owner, Eli Vatkin, is what everyone should be looking for in a contractor. He’s knowledgeable, reasonably priced, trustworthy, responds promptly to any concerns that you have during the project, keeps you apprised of its progress, finishes on time, and generally aims to please. His contracts were straightforward and “by the book.” On top of that, he’s a genuinely nice guy. Rarely will you find all these qualities in a contractor—and I’ve been around long enough to know. "

"I was tasked with some repairs on my parents house that had been unoccupied for 16 years. The roof had a leak (with severe drywall damage inside), the gutters had come down in places and there was a termite problem. I met with numerous contractors and exterminators and finally (after advising parents) chose Nikki with Dr Roof for the replacement of the under-layment and broken tile for the Tile roof (house in Stevenson Ranch CA). Nikki is so professional and sent pictures and kept me informed every step of the demolition and replacement process. Since I was at the residence, I didn't even really need that because I watched over much of the work, but still she went "above the call". Then as other projects were needed, she had contacts for extermination, facia replacement and painting, eve trough replacement and interior house work. I went ahead and contacted other contractors and vendors for those services, but in every case Nikki's contacts were better (or at least similarly) priced. And I am glad I went with her suggested repair people - they too were all very professional (and in no way associated with her, she just recommends them as she's been in the business 27 years and knows reputable, quality contractors). And in every case the other people I had on various projects sang Nikki's praises. She also coordinated the timing for all these contractors to do their work (obviously some things like facia have to be replaced and painted before Eve troughs installed, etc.) Dr Roof overall did a great job. They kept the place neat and I thought their underlayment was the best quality of any of the contractors I met with ( and I got other quotes from companies / individuals). There is still more work to do on the yard and in this house (projects for next year after bank account recovers from these projects - ha! ha!) Nikki will be my first call when looking for additional work on this house for my parents."

"I was looking into replacing my 20+ yrs tile roof to the Tesla solar roof but after months of waiting (I pre-ordered the solar roof and it was stuck at the design phase), Tesla told me that they no longer serve my area and refunded me the money. As I was looking for an alternative, I came across GAF's solar shingles and I was very interested in them. Guardian Roofs is GAF's certified installer in SoCal area. Larry from Guardian Roofs reached out to me within a day after I filled out the "Request for a Quote" form on GAF's website. Told me about their company and we chatted about my needs for the new roof and solar system. Within the next few days, he sent me a proposal, explained every single detail to me carefully and patiently answered all of my questions and concerns. He truly enjoy working with Larry because he would find out the answers for any questions he wasn't able to answer on the call and actually called me back and explained them to me thoroughly. I called/emailed six roofing companies/contractors, only four responded within the first week with a quote. The quote from Guardian Roofs was the second lowest (cheaper than Tesla's solar roof). The other three quotes were traditional solar panels and reroof using the existing tiles. I quickly decided to go Guardian Roof's quote not only it's much cheaper than Tesla's solar roof, but their panels also looked much nicer than the traditional ones. My only concern was that without the space between the rack and roof, how would the heat generated by the panels being released? I asked Larry this question and he explained to me but I didn't quite understand, so I asked the owner, Justin, the same question during the installation and he explained to me by showing me the actual products. Turned out the combination of the underlaying sheet, GAF's Timberline Shingles and the actual panels were playing a big part in handling the heat. The installation took a week to complete. I'm very pleased that the owner himself actually came out a couple of days and climbed on the roof to make sure everything was done correctly. He was also there to answer all of my questions about the job. Additionally, GAF sent a technician from the San Jose headquarter to oversee the installation of the panels. Not the mention William (the lead installer from Guardian Roofs) and his crew did a great job cleaning up the area after the job was completed."

FAQs for asphalt shingle roofing repair projects in Placentia, CA

Asphalt shingles last 15 to 30 years, although premium products can reach the 50-year mark. The actual lifespan hinges on climate, material quality, proper installation, ventilation, and consistent maintenance. Scheduling annual inspections, replacing damaged shingles promptly, and keeping gutters clear all extend service life and help your roof protect the rest of the house.

Repairing your asphalt shingles preserves the integrity of your roof by addressing minor, localized damage. In cases where damage is confined, applying roofing sealant beneath and over the affected area restores performance and prevents further issues. Maintaining these repairs upholds durability and forestalls deterioration. When damage is extensive or persistent, full roof replacement becomes necessary. A professional inspection confirms the ideal course of action.

Replacing individual shingles is a valid solution when only isolated sections of the roof are damaged. Asphalt shingles, as well as wooden shakes, slate, or clay roofing tiles, are engineered for individual replacement, which can be achieved by applying roofing sealant beneath and over the damaged section to restore functionality. When damage extends over a larger area or many shingles are compromised, complete roof replacement becomes necessary. A professional roofer will assess the situation and confirm the optimal repair method.
