Fullerton Roof Pros provides professional roof replacement and re-decking in Fullerton, CA for residential and commercial properties across north Orange County. Replacing a roof on a house built before 1945 is two jobs sold as one: the covering you picked, and the deck underneath that nobody has looked at since the last tear-off. We price those two things separately, in writing, before anything comes off.
Houses from the citrus and oil-boom decades here sit on spaced 1x6 skip sheathing or straight 1x8 shiplap, not plywood. Skip sheathing worked under wood shake because a shake spans the gaps between boards. It does nothing for a nailed composition shingle, which needs continuous support and a fastener that bites. If the original covering is shake, a plywood overlay is not an upsell, it is how the new roof gets attached at all.
So we open a plane before quoting. A few tiles or a square of shingles come off at the eave, at a valley, and near the ridge, and we photograph what is under them. That gives us board thickness, nail withdrawal, split and cupped boards, and whether a previous crew already laid an overlay on the original. All four change the number. Guessing from the driveway is how a firm bid becomes a change order.
The estimate then reads as a roof price plus a re-deck price by the sheet, with the sheet count we expect written on the same page. If we open it up and find twelve more sheets of rot than we counted, you already know the per-sheet figure and the arithmetic is not a negotiation on day two. Padding a lump sum to cover the unknown costs you more than pricing the unknown honestly.
Tear-off on a period house is slower than on a 1985 tract roof, and it should be. Original 1x boards split when staples are pried out of them, so the covering comes off in short sections instead of long sheets, and mortar-set ridge and hip tile gets cut free rather than levered. Rushing that step turns a straightforward re-deck into rafter-tail carpentry nobody quoted. We would rather spend the extra half-day.
The covering choice follows the house, not the price sheet. A 1920s bungalow with a steep pitch and open eaves carries a heavyweight laminate or a shake-profile shingle far better than a three-tab, and a 1928 Spanish Colonial usually wants its own clay back over fresh underlayment. We will tell you which one the street already expects, and what it costs to do something else anyway.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — spaced 1x6 skip sheathing, two-piece mission barrel tile, straight 1x8 shiplap decking, self-adhered SBS modified bitumen underlayment, mortar-set hip and ridge tile, flat-lock soldered copper pans — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fullerton and nearby communities including Brea, Placentia, La Habra, Buena Park.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof replacement and re-decking
The difference between roof replacement and re-decking that lasts and roof replacement and re-decking that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with spaced 1x6 skip sheathing, two-piece mission barrel tile, straight 1x8 shiplap decking, self-adhered SBS modified bitumen underlayment, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Fullerton job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in north Orange County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
