Our Roofing Services in Shaver Lake
We handle the full roofing scope for mountain properties: roof replacement, repair, roof inspections, maintenance, gutters, storm damage, and rooftop solar and HVAC. Every one of these services is built around one goal, keeping water out and your home protected over the long term through snow, freeze, and fire season. Whether the job is a single leak or a complete tear-off, the same crews and the same standards apply to all our roofing needs.
Roof Replacement & New Roof Installation
A new roof from us is a full system, not just a layer of shingles. We install proper underlayment, ventilation, and flashing, then finish with Class A material options suited to mountain and State Responsibility Area sites. The county reroof form identifies Class A as the minimum roof-covering classification for SRA projects, so fire classification is part of the conversation from the start. Re roofing an older cabin often means we also check the decking and attic insulation underneath while the system is open.
We work in several materials depending on your home and budget:
- Asphalt shingles: the most common roofing material, with solar reflective options that help reduce energy costs.
- Metal: can last 40 to 70 years with proper maintenance and sheds snow well.
- Tile: known for durability and energy efficiency.
- Flat and single-ply: commonly used in commercial roofing and on some additions.
Many of our replacements use the Owens Corning Total Roofing Protection System for a coordinated, manufacturer-backed assembly. When an inspection shows more than roughly 30% roof damage, replacement is often the sounder investment than repeated repairs. California Title 24 energy efficiency standards also shape material choices, and we account for them in your written scope.
Roof Repair & Leak Repair
We fix leaks, replace damaged or missing shingles, repair flashing and valleys, and seal penetrations before small problems spread. On seasonal or vacant cabins these repairs matter more than most places, because a leak can run for months unseen while you are off the mountain. Catching it early keeps the damage small and the job affordable to resolve.
Roof Inspections
Our roof inspections are specific to your property, not a checklist read from the road. We assess pitch, access, flashing, ventilation, decking condition, ice-dam exposure, and fire classification. Homeowners should inspect roofs once a year, and again after any major storm or suspected leak, which is easy to overlook when you do not live at the cabin full time.
Other Roofing Services & Commercial Roofing
Beyond a straight roof replacement, our other services include a maintenance program, gutter work, storm damage repair, and roof-integrated solar panels and rooftop HVAC installation with sealed penetrations. For lodges, rentals, and other commercial roofing needs around the lake, our flat and single-ply systems protect larger structures with the same standards we bring to a cabin.

Why Shaver Lake Homeowners Choose Our Roofing Company
If you have searched for roofing companies near me, you have probably seen a long list and little to tell them apart. Homeowners choose us because we are a licensed, accountable roofing company that treats your home the way we would treat family, and we prove it before asking for anything. We hold CSLB License #1031864, confirmed on the official site, with the BBB, and on BuildZoom. Any roofing contractor should carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and you have every right to verify credentials and past projects before you hire. We encourage it.
Here is the honest part other roofing companies skip: our office is at 4705 N Sonora Ave, Suite 115, in Fresno, not in Shaver Lake. We serve the area by traveling CA-168 east to inspect and complete projects. We mention this because trust starts with telling you the truth. Shaver Lake is a small community, with ACS 2020 to 2024 estimates identifying 2,019 housing units and only 199 occupied households, so plenty of owners are offsite much of the year. Wildflower Village, about two miles southwest of Shaver Lake, was planned primarily for seasonal residential and recreational use. A contractor who understands that will communicate with you accordingly.
What sets our work apart from other roofing companies:
- In-house crews, not rotating subcontractors, so the roofers on your roof answer to us and the security of your home is never handed off.
- Family-owned and operated, with integrity and clear communication as stated values rather than slogans. We stay committed to quality workmanship on every job.
- Concierge service built for offsite owners: photo reports, written scope, and progress updates that answer your concerns before you have to ask.
- A written scope with no-surprises change orders, so added work is documented and approved before we proceed.
- Manufacturer-backed warranties on materials through partners like Owens Corning.
Local references, our BuildZoom rating in the top 1% of California licensed contractors, and independent reviews all matter when you are choosing a professional to trust. Satisfied customers across our service region, from the Sacramento valley down to the Shaver Lake area, are the clearest proof of how we work. When you are ready, our contact page is the quickest way to start.
How It Works: From First Call to Final Sign-Off
Our process runs in clear steps: free inspection, permit and pre-roof inspection, material delivery and dry-in, installation, and final inspection to completion. Separating the schedule this way removes the guesswork and protects you from the open-ended timelines that make mountain projects stressful.
- Free inspection and written estimate. We assess the roof and give you a written quote after seeing it, never a number sight-unseen. Getting multiple roofing quotes is smart, so compare the scope of work, not just the bottom line.
- Permit and pre-roof inspection. We pull the reroof permit through the County of Fresno Department of Public Works and Planning, Building & Safety. The county’s reroof fee expressly includes a pre-roof inspection, which we coordinate. A licensed contractor must pull proper permits before any work begins.
- Material delivery and dry-in. Because materials stage before crews travel CA-168 east, we confirm the forecast and plan a same-day dry-in so decking is never left exposed overnight when mountain weather is uncertain. We also keep dust and debris controlled around your property throughout.
- Installation. Our in-house roofers complete the system. If decking damage appears after tear-off, we document it with photos and get your approval first.
- Final inspection and sign-off. We complete the county final inspection and send you full documentation once every item is covered.
Your contract details the scope, warranties, permits, and cleanup in writing. California law limits contractor down payments to 10% of the total project price or $1,000, and we honor that. For owners not on site, we deliver photo updates at each step so you always know what is happening on your roof. Note that Sierra Cedars provides snow removal on district and county roads but not on private driveways or parking areas, so access planning is part of scheduling. We strive to plan every detail in advance so there is nothing to chase.
Roofing in Shaver Lake: Permits, Climate & Access
Shaver Lake is an unincorporated community, so reroof permits are administered by the County of Fresno, not a Shaver Lake city building department. That single fact trips up roofers who treat the area like any valley town. Permits run through the Department of Public Works and Planning, Development Services Division, Building & Safety, and we handle that filing for you.
As of our research date, the fiscal year 2026 to 2027 county fee schedule lists $201.47 per structure for a single-family residential reroof, plus an additional $43.89 per structure for projects in a State Responsibility Area. These are schedule line items, not a guaranteed all-in total, so the county confirms the final figure per address. Reroofing is a no-plan permit category, but it does require a completed reroof certification packet, along with a CF1R form or Certificate of Compliance for permit issuance.
Fire classification is central here. The county reroof form identifies Class A as the minimum roof-covering classification for SRA projects, and the Fresno County Fire Protection District provides protection and planning services to the Shaver Lake Community Service Area. We check the parcel rather than assuming classification from a mailing address.
Then there is the mountain itself. Sierra Cedars sits at about 5,700 feet and reports average annual snowfall of roughly 11 feet. That means we plan for ice-dam exposure at the eaves, confirm attic ventilation, and build the schedule around a dependable dry-weather window. The broader area has moderately to steeply sloped granitic ridges, thin soils, and shallow stream-cut valleys, so we verify delivery access, dumpster placement, and crew parking before the first truck rolls. Most roofs last between 20 and 30 years in this part of Fresno County, and with a median occupied-home construction year around 1983 and roughly 91% single-unit homes, many Shaver Lake roofs are at or past that mark.
We serve the genuine local areas, including Sierra Cedars with roads like Bretz Mill, Black Oak, Hanging Branch, Smoke Tree Lane, Blue Meadow Lane, Rockledge, and Saddleback; Bretz Mountain Village south of Shaver Lake and east of Highway 168, planned for 977 dwelling units on 610 acres; and the Meadow Lakes, Mile High, and Shaver Lake Heights clusters. Shaver Lake Village and Camp Edison are recognized together in County Service Area 31B. We reach all of it from our Fresno office by traveling CA-168 east.

How much does a new roof cost in Shaver Lake?
