Flat Roof or Sloped Roof
Flat roofs are strong systems that offer superior protection with a modern look. In order to add to the longevity of your flat roof, it is important to have a coating to protect against extreme weather. We use Torch Down as well as Coatings in order to extend your roof’s life. These methods weatherproof your flat roof’s surface from excessive water and wind, as well as harsh sunlight.
Traditional and classic sloped roofs are always a very popular choice for residents remodeling their current homes or new occupants just moving in. If you are looking to replace or re-roof shingles, we offer a wide variety of styles, colors, and materials of shingles to perfectly match your individual preferences.
Whether you have a flat roof or a sloped roof on your home, August Roofing & Solar has expert service, quality products, and reliable support for a better customer experience and peace of mind.
Roofing Materials
There are a variety of roofing shingle types popular in Southern California, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. From asphalt shingles to clay tiles to torch down and coating, the type of roof covering you select has a lot to do with the protection, longevity, and aesthetic look of your home.
- Asphalt Shingles: Asphalt shingles are the most popular type of roofing material in the United States and are made from a blend of asphalt, fiberglass, and other materials. They are often chosen because they are affordable, durable, and come in a variety of colors and textures.
- Clay Roofing Tiles: Clay roofing tiles are a popular choice in Southern California, especially for homes that have a Spanish or Mediterranean architectural style. The tiles are made from clay and have a special coating that makes them waterproof, they are very durable, can last for many years, are fire-resistant, and are environmentally friendly, which makes them a good choice for homes in fire-prone areas.
- Cement Roofing Tiles: Cement roofing tiles provide great strength and wear resistance at a more affordable price. A blend of Portland cement, sand, and water forms into tiles and pigment can be added to the mix to give the tiles their color. The coating is made from silica fume and aluminum oxide, and a protective adhesive is added.
- Slate Roofing Tiles: Slate tiles add a popular aesthetic for higher-end homes. Often found on more traditional style homes, slate tiles have a reputation for long-lasting high quality. They tend to be more expensive and generally cost more to install, however, there is nothing quite the same as a slate tile roof.
Solar Panels
Our high-quality solar panel systems are proven to dramatically increase energy efficiency, as well as reduce your monthly bills. Over a 20-year period, you can save up to $30,000 by using safe and environmentally friendly natural solar energy. It is vitally important, however, that you get professional experts to install your panels in the right way, since improperly attached panels can lead to tremendous safety hazards.
Gutters
Your gutters are an important part of protecting your home, safeguarding the roof, the home’s interior, and the landscaping. By directing water away from the roof, your gutters help to avoid water accumulation and keep water from seeping into the home through cracks in the roof or around vents and chimneys, which can cause rot and mold. Your gutters also help prevent foundation damage and eroding soil near the home.
Skylights
If your home doesn't have much natural light, consider installing a skylight. We proudly carry a variety of Velux Skylights, including the Solar Powered "Fresh Air" skylights. Not only do these brighten up your space, but they can open to help control humidity levels as well.
Additional Services
Not only do we provide the best quality of products for new or replacement roofs, but we are thoroughly equipped to support you with many types of roof maintenance and repair.
Our expert technicians are very experienced in supporting customers with:
- Roof cleaning: One of the most important aspects of caring for your roof is regularly cleaning it. Removing any moss, algae, black moisture streaks, or mold is crucial to extending the life of your roof and the rest of your home’s infrastructure. Our experts provide safe and effective roof cleaning that will not damage your roof with harsh chemicals, nor diminish its curb appeal.
- Ventilation: It is crucial to have proper ventilation in and throughout your roof. Otherwise, continual moisture, combined with collected pollutants, can greatly damage your roof's long-term performance.
- Radiant barrier: In order to protect yourself, your family, and your home from radiant heat, it is necessary to have a unique insulation system. Made from layers of reinforced aluminum foil, the barrier blocks radiant heat. This, in turn, leads to high increases in the efficiency of your system, as well as dramatically decreases costs.
