AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Winters
A full roof replacement in Winters typically runs $14,000-$27,000 for a standard single-family home, with architectural shingles landing around $18,000-$22,000 on most ranch-style and two-story houses in town. That’s the range we quote before any work starts, because the wind coming through the Putah Creek gap changes what your roof actually needs compared to a house 15 miles east. If your roof is showing age or you’ve already had one repair that failed, call (945) 303-9821 and we’ll come out, get on the roof, and put a written price in your hands.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Is Winters’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Winters homeowners call us because we answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including Sunday evening when you finally look up at the ceiling stain and decide to do something about it. That’s not a slogan; it’s how we work. Our crews know the difference between a roof on the west edge of town near the foothills and one over by Highway 505, and we scope every job with that local reality in mind.
Tilehurst Roofing is part of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000. What that means for you in Winters is simple: every job starts with a written price before any work begins, every repair carries a written guarantee, and if a repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Greg Holloway leads our team, and he holds every crew to the Kingswell Way: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails.
New Roof Installation in Winters
New Roof Installation in Winters means one of two things here. Either a brand-new house is going up on a lot outside the city limits, where Yolo County permitting applies, or an existing home near the historic core is getting a full tear-off and a clean start. Both come up constantly in this town, and we scope them differently. A new-construction roof on an acreage parcel might mean a 40-square roof with a long material haul from the supplier, crane or lift access on open ground, and a fastening schedule spec’d for gap-driven wind. A tear-off on a 1930s wood-framed house near Railroad Avenue might mean multiple layers of old composition coming off, decking that needs replacing, and working around tight lot lines.
Our Roof Replacement team handles both without changing the price at the door. The written quote covers everything we’ll do, line by line, before the first nail is driven.
County Permitting and Setbacks on Acreage
When you’re building outside Winters city limits, the permit comes from Yolo County, not the city. That changes the timeline and the paperwork. We pull permits and close them out, and we keep an eye on well and septic setbacks when we’re planning roof equipment staging. If the septic leach field sits close to the house and a crane or lift needs to run along that side, we’ll adjust the staging plan before we quote. This is exactly the kind of local headache that a generic roofer misses, and it’s why we scope acreage jobs the way we do.
Outbuildings, Shops, and Detached ADUs
Plenty of Winters properties have a detached garage, a shop, or an ADU standing near the main house. If you’re re-roofing the primary structure, that’s often the right moment to look at the outbuildings too. We scope them separately in the quote, so you see exactly what each structure costs. A 600-square-foot shop with a low-slope roof needs different underlayment and edge detailing than a 24-square house, and we’ll make sure you know both numbers before you sign anything.
Reroofing in Winters
Reroofing in Winters usually means tearing off old 3-tab shingles or two or three layers of aging composition and putting a fresh system in its place. Most of the ranch-style homes built here in the mid-20th century are now at or past the service life of their original or first-replacement roofs, and the combination of 100°F+ summers and gap-driven wind pushes those roofs to failure faster than the same shingle would wear out in Davis or Woodland. A full reroof on a typical Winters ranch home runs $15,000-$24,000 depending on square count, decking condition, and whether the roof is one story or two.
We schedule reroofs year-round. Winters doesn’t get the fog that slows work in other parts of the state, so a clean weather window is usually available even in late fall, before the real rain arrives.
Decking and Underlayment on Older Homes
Homes in the historic core often have plank decking rather than plywood, and after 80 or 100 years some of those boards are soft at the eaves. We never quote a reroof without checking the decking, and if it needs replacing, that’s a line item you see before work starts, not a surprise change order halfway through. Ice and water shield through the valleys and around wall penetrations is standard on our Winters reroofs. It’s cheap insurance against the winter storms that hit this part of the valley.
Grading and Drainage on Open Lots
On acreage parcels outside town, the land around the house often slopes toward the structure, or water ponds near the foundation after a heavy rain. A new roof can make that worse if the new drip edge overhangs differently or the gutter line shifts. We look at drainage when we quote. If the grading needs correction or downspouts need to move water farther from the foundation, we’ll tell you before we start. That’s part of scoping the job honestly, not just getting on and off the roof as fast as possible.
Trusted Brands We Service in Winters
We install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning architectural shingles, and we don’t push one brand because it’s what happens to be in the truck. On a west-facing slope off Railroad Avenue, we laid GAF architectural shingles with the manufacturer’s high-wind detail because that roof catches the full force of the gap wind every fall. Some homes in Winters look better with a CertainTeed product; others match best with Owens Corning. We stock underlayment, drip edge, and ridge materials in the quantities we need for Winters jobs, so a small supply gap doesn’t stall your reroof for a week. The product should fit the home, not the other way around.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Winters Homes
- Wind-lifted ridge caps on west- and southwest-facing slopes. The Putah Creek gap funnels Coast Range wind directly into town, and the first thing to go is the ridge cap. We see it on the west edge near the foothills a full inspection cycle sooner than on the sheltered east side near Highway 505.
- Peeled starter strips at the eave line. When the wind gets under the starter strip, the first course of shingles is next. This is a local signature failure, not something we see 15 miles east on the open valley floor, and it tells us the fastening schedule was never correct for this microclimate.
- Granule loss and UV aging on low-slope 3-tab and multi-layer composition roofs. Winters gets 100°F+ heat in summer with intense sun. Shingle granules break down and end up in the gutters, and the roof surface looks bald well before the membrane underneath fails.
- Water pushed toward the structure on acreage lots. Open-lot grading can send runoff toward the house, especially near outbuildings. If the edge metal and underlayment details aren’t reinforced at the low points, you’ll see water damage at the eaves before the roof itself actually fails.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Winters
One square is 100 square feet of roof area, and it’s the standard unit roofers use to price material and labor. A 24-square roof covers about 2,400 square feet. On a Winters home, square count matters more than the house footprint because of the roof pitch, the overhangs on older wood-framed homes, and any dormers or hips. When we quote, we show you the exact square count we measured, so the number on the page matches the roof you can see from the street. Call (945) 303-9821 and we’ll measure yours at no charge.
In most cases, a crew can be at your Winters home within a few business days, and our scheduling is coordinated from the brand’s Sacramento office with crews serving Winters locally. A live person answers the phone 24/7, so you’ll know your appointment window before you hang up. We don’t do voicemail callbacks.
Yes, we serve all of Winters and the surrounding acreage parcels in Yolo County, including the areas toward Putah Creek and the homes along Railroad Avenue, around the historic core, and out toward Highway 505. Homes on county land often have different permitting and access requirements, and we scope those directly in the quote.
Winters pricing runs slightly higher than Davis or Woodland for two reasons: the wind-rated fastening and edge details the gap wind demands, and the extra time involved with county permitting and material staging on acreage properties. A tear-off on a ranch home here is usually $16,000-$21,000, where a similar home in Woodland might land $1,500-$3,000 lower. The difference pays for the roof not lifting at the ridge cap in October. Call (945) 303-9821 for a written quote on your specific roof.
Every replacement carries the manufacturer’s material warranty plus our written guarantee, which we deliver before the crew leaves, not mailed later. If anything fails inside the guarantee period, we return at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. That’s a full year of documented accountability, in writing, from day one.
