GAF Construction in Lompico, CA | Timberline Contractors
GAF roofing in Lompico runs $8,000 to $20,000 for a full replacement and $400 to $1,800 for a repair, with most canyon jobs needing extra staging, re-decking, and fire-hardening work that flatland quotes never account for. We’re Timberline Contractors, an independent General Contractor in Lompico and a GAF service provider working throughout the 95005 canyon, and the thing that sets our GAF work apart here is simple: we plan every job around steep driveways, narrow switchbacks, and the damp, fire-prone conditions that define Lompico construction. Nelson Fung and our crews have torn off and installed hundreds of mountain roofs across the San Lorenzo Valley, and we know exactly where GAF systems fail first in this kind of terrain. Call (866) 253-5808 to get a free estimate from someone who actually understands Lompico roof work.
Why Lompico Residents Choose Us for GAF Service
GAF Timberline HDZ, Grand Sequoia, and Liberty membrane systems are excellent roofs, but only when they’re detailed for the conditions they’re sitting in. Lompico is not a place where you can slap shingles down over old decking and expect a twenty-year roof. The shade from redwood and tanoak keeps north-facing planes damp for months at a stretch. The winter storms drive rain sideways into eaves and valleys. And the CAL FIRE very high severity designation means every penetration, vent, and edge has to be ember-resistant or the whole assembly fails inspection. That’s the work we do every week. Nelson Fung grew up watching his grandfather argue over tile prices in LA, learned the trade formally at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, and spent years on everything from Eastside bungalows to mid-size commercial builds before running Timberline Contractors. He’s the guy who’ll walk your roofline and tell you, in plain words, what’s failing and why. We’re independent GAF specialists, not factory-authorized, which means our credibility comes from the tear-offs and installs we’ve done on Lompico’s steep, shaded lots, not from a marketing badge. Do it right the first time or explain yourself twice.

Common GAF Construction Problems We Solve in Lompico
- Algae streaking and premature granule loss on shaded planes. Deep redwood and tanoak shade keeps north-facing GAF Timberline planes damp for months, so algae gets a foothold and granules start sloughing off well before the shingle’s rated sun-exposure life. We clean, assess, and when the mat is still sound, repair with matching GAF components. When it’s not, we replace.
- Hidden rot under old felt and spaced decking. Lompico’s cabin-era housing stock is mostly pier-and-beam construction with spaced decking and original builder’s felt. Moisture gets trapped from below, delaminates the shingle mat, and hides soft sheathing that only shows up when the roof comes off. We don’t guess. We strip, inspect, and re-deck where needed.
- Wind-driven rain backing up under eaves and valleys. Canyon exposure in Lompico means storms hit from odd angles. Where a roof was detailed for downhill flow only, wind pushes water up under eave courses and into valleys, lifting laps and rusting fasteners. The field shingles look fine. The leaks show up at the low edge.
- Runoff erosion eating fascia, wall flashing, and gutters. Steep slopes shed water fast in winter, and that runoff scours the lower roofline. We regularly find fascia rot and wall flashing failure where the shingles above are still doing their job. GAF system components like ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys stop this before it starts.
- Ember intrusion at vents and penetrations. In a CAL FIRE very high severity zone, a standard plastic ridge vent or open soffit gap is an ember invitation. We spec ember-resistant GAF-compatible vents and close up every penetration properly on every Lompico replacement we do.
GAF Service in Lompico: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Lompico Road is a narrow, winding single-lane canyon route, and most lots sit up long steep private driveways where a concrete truck, boom lift, or full-size delivery never makes it to the roofline. That changes everything about how a GAF roof gets built here. Shingle bundles, plywood, and a tear-off dumpster often have to be staged at the road and shuttled up with a small lift, or hand-carried the last hundred feet. That adds labor hours no flatland roofer even thinks about. It also means we plan small-load deliveries and exact material counts before the first bundle comes off the truck, because a second trip down Lompico Road eats half a day. The payoff is that the roofing system itself gets detailed better: we know the north slopes stay damp, we know the valleys catch sideways rain, and we know the eaves take runoff abuse every winter. A GAF Timberline HDZ roof installed with ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, solid decking, and ember-resistant vents will hold up in Lompico in a way that a bargain install never will.
GAF Models & Products We Service in Lompico
We work on the full GAF residential lineup you’re likely to find up here: Timberline HDZ, Timberline Natural Shadow, Grand Sequoia, and Liberty low-slope membrane for the flatter sections some Lompico additions have. Our parts approach is straightforward: we use GAF system components, matching underlayment, starter, ridge cap, and ember-resistant vents, rather than mixing brands into the assembly. A warranty-eligible roof and a fire-rated detail matter more in a very high severity zone than saving forty dollars on a generic vent. What’s stocked locally for fast Lompico turnaround is mostly the common repair kit: matching Timberline shingle bundles, starter, ridge cap, leak barrier, and the flashing materials that fail most often on canyon roofs. For full tear-offs, we order exactly what the job needs and stage it so delivery happens once.

AfterGAF Service Pricing in Lompico
What a GAF roof costs in Lompico depends on three things that flatland pricing charts ignore: whether the old roof needs full re-decking (common on cabin-era spaced decking), how much staging and shuttle work your driveway demands, and whether the roof has to be brought up to current fire-hardening standards. Here’s where typical Lompico jobs land:
| Service | Lompico Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 – $40,000 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600 – $2,500 |
Every estimate we give is free and line-itemed. You’ll see the staging costs, the re-decking allowance, the underlayment and shield materials, and the labor separately, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start. No change orders halfway through because we didn’t like the driveway. Call (866) 253-5808 for an exact quote on your Lompico roof.

FAQs – GAF Construction in Lompico
Most steep private driveways in Lompico can’t take a full-size delivery truck or a standard roll-off dumpster, so we stage materials at the road and shuttle them up with a small lift or hand-carry, a challenge we also handle with our Mount Hermon GAF service. We’ll assess access during the estimate and factor any staging labor into your quote upfront. Call (866) 253-5808 to schedule a free estimate and we’ll tell you exactly how your driveway affects the job.
A GAF Timberline HDZ or Grand Sequoia roof can meet CAL FIRE very high severity zone requirements, but only when the full assembly is detailed for ember resistance: Class A rated shingles, ember-resistant vents, and properly closed penetrations. We spec GAF system components and close every gap so the roof passes inspection and actually holds up when fire season hits.
Most cabin-era Lompico homes with original spaced decking and old builder’s felt do need at least partial re-decking, because the damp canyon air has usually softened the sheathing underneath. We find out for certain at tear-off and only re-deck what’s actually compromised, so you’re not paying to replace sound wood. Call (866) 253-5808 if you want us to inspect what’s under your current roof.
Steep slopes and canyon exposure send wind-driven rain back up under eave courses, while winter runoff scours the lower roofline, so flashing and edge detailing wear out years before the field shingles. That’s why we install ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys on every Lompico replacement, which flatland crews often skip.
Isolated wind or flashing repairs are worth doing, but a damp canyon roof with mat delamination and soft decking gets a full re-deck and replacement, not another patch. We’ll give you an honest read after walking the roofline and inspecting the underlayment. Call (866) 253-5808 for a free estimate and a straight answer.
