BSW Roofing, Solar & Air

Roof replacement

A new roof, done once, done right.

When patching becomes a subscription, a replacement resets the clock. Here is how we do it and what you can expect.

A replacement is the biggest thing most people ever do to their house, and it is the one project where corners hide best. Everything that matters happens under the surface you see from the street.

What a BSW replacement includes

Tear-off down to the deck, so nothing questionable gets buried under new material. Deck inspection and repair where the wood needs it. New underlayment, flashing and ventilation detailing, then the roof you chose, installed to the manufacturer's specification by crews who train on it.

You get photos at each stage. If the tear-off uncovers something the estimate could not see, you hear about it the same day, with options and prices, before any extra work happens.

Tile, shingle, or something else

Kern County homes wear concrete tile, asphalt shingle, and increasingly flat and low-slope sections that need membrane systems. Each has a different life, weight and price. We walk you through what your house, your neighborhood and your budget actually call for, and we will tell you plainly when the premium option is not worth it for your situation.

The warranty conversation, without the fog.

Roofing warranties get conflated on purpose. There are two different things: what the manufacturer covers on materials, and who stands behind the installation. You should have both in writing.

  • Manufacturer material coverage, in writing
  • GAF enhanced system warranties on qualifying roofs
  • Workmanship coverage stated in your quote
  • A company that has answered its phone since 1942

All our credentials

Replacement, answered.

What homeowners ask before signing.

  • Most homes take a few days from tear-off to cleanup. Bigger or steeper roofs take longer, and we tell you the expected schedule with the quote, not after.
