Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across San Martin
Roof replacement in San Martin typically runs $14,000-$28,000 for a standard single-story ranch home with architectural asphalt shingles, depending on square footage, decking condition, and whether we’re also re-paneling an outbuilding. Our crews work on acreage properties off Foothill Avenue, Pacheco Pass Highway, and the quieter roads east of Highway 101 every week. If your roof is leaking, showing granule loss in the gutters, or simply past its useful life, call (945) 303-9821 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
San Martin isn’t a city. That matters more than most roofers admit. Permits run through Santa Clara County Building and Planning, not a city counter, and on one-acre-plus parcels with wells and septic systems, the scope often has to account for setbacks a Morgan Hill city lot never triggers. We know this because we work here constantly. Call us, and we’ll scope your roof the way San Martin actually sits.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Is San Martin’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Tilehurst Roofing is a Kingswell family company, founded in 2000, built for homeowners who’ve already been burned once by a no-show or a price that changed at the door. In San Martin, that means our written price is in your hands before a single nail is pulled. It also means our 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job: if it’s not done right, we make it right, for a full year, in writing.
Greg Holloway leads our team, and every crew member who steps onto a San Martin roof is background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know exactly who is on your property. When you call (945) 303-9821, a live person answers. Not a voicemail. Not a callback queue. That’s true at 2 p.m. and at 2 a.m.
We quote San Martin work with the right assumptions from the start: long material hauls, septic and well setbacks, outbuildings that need attention alongside the house. Most roofers treat San Martin like a suburb. We don’t, because it isn’t.
Roof Installation in San Martin
Roof Installation in San Martin usually means a full tear-off on a 1950s-to-1980s ranch home, re-decking what the fog rotted, and laying a roof that can take damp winters and 100-degree summers without blinking. A standard roof installation on a 1,800-square-foot ranch runs $14,000-$22,000. New construction on a custom home or detached ADU runs higher, typically $22,000-$35,000 depending on roof complexity and material.
What changes the price on acreage is what’s underneath the shingles. San Martin’s marine-layer fog off the Hecker Pass corridor keeps roofs damp longer than the inland location suggests. Decking rots before the shingle surface looks gone. We scope for that.
Decking, Setbacks, and Site Access
On a county lot with a well and septic system, we have to know where the leach field sits before we stage materials or park a dump trailer. Crushing a drain field costs more than the roof. We check setbacks during the estimate, not after the crew arrives.
Outbuildings and Detached ADUs
Many San Martin properties include a barn, hay shed, or detached living unit. We scope those in the same visit so you’re not left with a new house roof and a leaking outbuilding. Re-paneling a corrugated barn roof usually adds $6,000-$14,000 depending on square footage and framing condition.
Roof Replacement Contractor in San Martin
A Roof Replacement Contractor in San Martin has to handle two very different systems: asphalt shingles on the house and corrugated metal on the barn. Tilehurst does both. Full house roof replacement with architectural shingles runs $14,000-$28,000 in San Martin. Flat or low-slope sections on older ranch additions run $18-$24 per square foot for a membrane system.
As your contractor, we handle the county permit, order materials from the manufacturer you choose, and tear off the old roof down to the decking. If the decking is rotted from decades of fog and algae, we replace it at a per-sheet price you’ve already seen in writing.
What We Check Before Quoting
We walk the roof, the attic, and the outbuildings. We check flashing at the valleys, drip edge at the eaves, and how the ridge vent ties into the existing framing. On ranch homes from the 1970s, the low-slope sections over patios and carports are usually the first to fail. We quote those separately so you see exactly where the money goes.
Fixed Price, County Permitting, Written Guarantee
Every Tilehurst job in San Martin runs through Santa Clara County Building and Planning. Pulling the permit, scheduling the inspection, and passing it is our responsibility, not yours. Your written price includes it. If a repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Trusted Brands We Service in San Martin
We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That means the product fits your home and your budget, not whatever happens to be on the truck. For San Martin ranch homes, we often recommend GAF Timberline architectural shingles for their algae resistance, which matters more here than in drier parts of the valley. On equestrian outbuildings, we stock Atlas and Tamko metal panel options locally so turnaround stays fast. You get a genuine choice, and we explain the trade-offs in plain language before you commit.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in San Martin Homes
- Fog-driven moss and algae on asphalt and wood shake. The Hecker Pass corridor funnels marine layer into the South Santa Clara Valley, keeping roofs damp through spring. Moss lifts shingles and holds water against decking, which is why tear-offs here often reveal rot the homeowner never saw.
- Rusted fastener holes on older corrugated barn roofs. Barn metal installed in the 1960s through 1980s used minimal fastener sealing. Agricultural dust and dew cycling have rusted the holes past what’s visible from the ground. What quotes as a patch turns into a full re-panel once we’re up there.
- Failed low-slope sections on ranch additions. Many San Martin homes from the 1960s-1980s have flat or near-flat sections over patios and carports. Extreme moisture-to-heat cycling, damp winters followed by mid-90s summers, works those membranes loose at the seams.
- Decking rot hidden under three-tab shingles. Original three-tab from the 1970s often looks tired but not gone, while the decking underneath has been rotting for years. Tilehurst re-decks when we find it and shows you the boards before we cover them.

A full roof replacement on a typical San Martin ranch home runs $14,000-$28,000. A basic tear-off with architectural shingles on a simple roof starts around $14,000. Larger homes, steep pitches, or re-decking push toward the top of that range. Outbuilding re-panels add $6,000-$14,000. Flat or low-slope membrane sections run $18-$24 per square foot. The price changes based on decking condition, roof complexity, and how far materials have to travel across your property.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in San Martin
San Martin is unincorporated, so every re-roof permit runs through Santa Clara County Building and Planning, not a city counter. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and pass it. That’s part of the written price. County permitting also means your property’s well and septic setbacks matter, and we check those before we quote.
Call (945) 303-9821 and we’ll walk the property and tell you exactly what the county will require for your roof.
We walk the roof, the outbuildings, and the route from the street to the house. Long material hauls add labor, but we quote that cost up front, not as a surprise. We check where the septic tank and leach field sit so trucks and dump trailers never roll over them. If the house sits at the back of a long gravel drive, we may need to stage materials in phases, and you’ll see that in the written estimate.
For an exact number on your San Martin parcel, call (945) 303-9821. Estimates are free.
Almost always a replacement. On San Martin horse properties, corrugated metal installed in the 1960s through 1980s used minimal fastener sealing. Decades of agricultural dust and dew cycling have rusted fastener holes well past what’s visible from the ground. A patch might buy one season, but the panel around the patched hole keeps failing. We re-panel the structure, replace the fasteners with properly sealed alternatives, and give you a written guarantee on the work.
Call (945) 303-9821 and we’ll get on the barn and tell you honestly what it needs.
Put them side by side and check five things: decking replacement price per sheet, whether the permit is included, which shingle manufacturer and model is specified, whether outbuildings are covered, and whether the price is fixed in writing. In San Martin county jurisdiction, a bid that skips the permit or doesn’t mention septic setbacks is a bid you should question. Tilehurst gives you a written line-item price before any work starts, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the job for a full year after completion.
Call (945) 303-9821 to get a detailed written estimate to compare.
We use architectural asphalt shingles on the house, usually GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning for the main structure. On barns, hay sheds, and arena covers, we install corrugated metal panels, typically Atlas or Tamko, with properly sealed fasteners that hold up to the valley’s dust and dew cycling. For low-slope sections on older ranch additions, we use membrane systems. The right system depends on the structure, and we explain the trade-offs in plain language before you decide.
