Alpine Roofing Services in Lake Tahoe & Truckee
Every system we install is Class A fire-rated and engineered for the Sierra Nevada snow load — from metal and shingle roofing to roof repair, replacement, winterization, waterproofing, and gutters.
Metal Roofing
Up here metal isn't a luxury upgrade — it's the smartest roof you can buy. Standing seam metal roofing sheds the Sierra Nevada snow load instead of carrying it, won't burn in a wildfire zone, and shrugs off the high-altitude UV that bakes every other material at 6,000 feet. While your neighbors are paying to replace shingle roofs every 15 years, a properly engineered metal roof is a 50-year roof.
Architectural Shingle Roofing
The architectural asphalt shingles we install today aren't the flimsy strip shingles your parents had. A modern asphalt shingle roof is built laminated and dimensional — Class 4 impact-rated to take Sierra hail, and assembled to Class A fire resistance for the wildfire zone we all live in. Done right, asphalt shingles installation gives you the layered, high-end look Tahoe and Truckee homeowners want at a price that fits most budgets, and it holds up to the alpine wind and freeze-thaw cycles that crack cheaper roofs.
Roof Repair
Up here a roof repair is never just a shingle swap — it's detective work. By the time you see a stain on the ceiling, the water has already traveled from wherever the actual breach is, and that breach is rarely where you think. Spring thaw is the worst of it: snow that sat on the roof all winter starts melting fast, and every failed flashing, lifted shingle, and split seam lets that water straight into the deck. That's why roof leak repair up here has to start with finding the source, not just patching the symptom.
Roof Replacement
I'll tell you the one thing a new roof replacement up here is not: a shingle swap. A residential roof replacement in this basin is a structural project. Before we order a single panel or bundle, we confirm your home's Sierra Nevada snow load capacity, inspect the deck underneath, and engineer a Class A fire-rated system for your slope and exposure. Do that work first and the roof lasts; skip it and you're back on the phone in ten years wondering why it leaked.
Roof Winterization
Every winter the same thing happens: a Tahoe roof that held all season suddenly dumps a ton of snow off the eave in one slide, taking the gutter with it and burying whatever was below — a deck, a hot tub, a car, sometimes a person. That's a roof avalanche, and it's the number-one reason we winterize roofs up here. Snow retention systems aren't optional on a metal roof in the Sierra; they're how you keep the snowpack on the roof and release it in a controlled melt instead of all at once.
Underlayment & Waterproofing
Here's the part of the roof nobody sees and everybody depends on. The shingles or metal on top get the credit, but the roof underlayment underneath is what actually keeps water out of your house — and up here, it's the layer that decides whether your roof survives an ice dam or leaks through one. I've torn off hundreds of Tahoe roofs, and I can tell you the failures almost always start below the surface: cheap felt that tore in the install and never sealed, ice & water shield that stopped two feet short of where the dam actually formed, or a metal roof underlayment that cooked to pieces under a dark panel in the high-altitude sun.
Gutters & Fascia Repair
Up here a gutter isn't a detail — it's the first line of defense between the snow load on your roof and the walls of your house. When a roof avalanche lets go, it rips standard valley gutters clean off the fascia, hangers and all. When an ice dam fill the gutter solid, that weight bends it off the eave and pulls the fascia board with it. And all winter long, freeze-thaw works meltwater behind the fascia where it rots the edge from the inside out. A broken gutter up here isn't cosmetic — it's funneling water straight into your walls.
