Some roofs have simply reached the end of their useful life. When patching, sealing, and spot-fixing can no longer keep water out, a full replacement is the only path to a roof that performs the way it should. A complete tear-off means stripping every layer of old material down to the decking, inspecting the wood structure underneath, and building the new roof system from scratch.
Gary Thompson has been doing full re-roofs across Riverside and the Inland Empire since 1990. He'll walk you through the condition of your existing roof, show you exactly where the failures are, and explain whether a replacement is genuinely necessary. If a repair can buy you five more years, he'll say so. There is no incentive to sell you a roof you don't need.
Roof replacement typically becomes the right call when you're seeing multiple leak points across different roof areas, when shingles are curling and losing granules across the board, when the decking beneath has water staining or soft spots, or when your roof is over 25 years old and showing its age in every section.
Material options depend on your home and budget. Thompson Roofing works with asphalt composition shingles, concrete and clay tile, standing-seam metal, and flat membrane systems including TPO and modified bitumen. Gary will recommend what makes sense for your structure, your climate zone, and your long-term goals.
Gary comes to your property, climbs the roof, and documents every issue with photos. You get a written report explaining what he found and an honest recommendation on repair vs. replacement.
Choose from asphalt, tile, metal, or flat roof systems. Gary walks you through the cost, lifespan, and performance of each option so you can make a decision that fits your home and your budget.
The crew strips the old roof to bare decking, repairs any damaged wood, installs ice-and-water shield and underlayment, then lays the new material. Gary supervises every phase on-site.
After cleanup, Gary does a full quality check with you. You see every detail of the finished roof, review the warranty paperwork, and get his direct number for anything that comes up later.
A roof replacement is one of the biggest investments you'll make in your home. Here's why Riverside families choose Thompson over the big-name contractors.
Many companies send a salesman to your door and a stranger to your roof. Gary Thompson gives you the estimate, oversees the tear-off, and checks the final install himself. One person, start to finish.
If your roof only needs a repair, Gary will tell you. He doesn't earn commission on material upgrades, and he won't push a 50-year shingle on a home you're selling in three years. Honest advice is the baseline here.
Thompson Roofing has been replacing roofs across the Inland Empire since 1990. That longevity means proven installation methods, trusted material suppliers, and a warranty backed by a company that's not going anywhere.
