First Choice Home Builders recently completed a full roof replacement project in La Jolla, San Diego, upgrading an aging roofing system with modern materials engineered for coastal performance.
La Jolla homes face constant exposure to ocean air, sun, and seasonal moisture. This project required careful material selection and structural precision to deliver long-term durability while maintaining the property’s architectural character.
Project Type: Full Roof Replacement
Location: La Jolla, San Diego, CA
Scope of Work: Old roof removal, decking inspection, structural repairs, underlayment installation, new roofing system installation, flashing replacement, ventilation upgrades, final inspection
The existing roof had reached the end of its service life. There were visible signs of wear, aging shingles, and compromised flashing. The homeowners wanted a complete roofing upgrade that would improve protection, energy performance, and property value.
Before replacement, the roof showed:
Given La Jolla’s coastal climate, long-term exposure to salt air can accelerate material breakdown. A full system replacement was the most effective solution.
The project began with complete removal of the existing roofing materials down to the decking. We carefully inspected the roof deck to identify any soft spots or structural concerns. Necessary repairs were completed before installing the new system.
A high-performance underlayment was installed to provide moisture resistance and secondary protection beneath the visible roofing materials. Proper sealing was applied around valleys and roof penetrations.
The selected roofing material was chosen for durability, wind resistance, and long-term performance in coastal environments. Installation followed manufacturer specifications to maintain warranty compliance.
New flashing was installed around chimneys, vents, and transitions to prevent water intrusion. Ventilation components were upgraded to improve airflow and reduce heat accumulation in the attic.
Each material was selected to withstand coastal weather conditions while preserving the home’s architectural style.
The completed roof replacement provides:
