Properties we reroof

Built for homes, multifamily properties and active businesses.

Every property changes the plan. Occupied sites, rooftop equipment, drainage, access, noise, landscaping and daily cleanup are considered before work begins.

01

Single-family homes

Shingle, tile, clay, slate and low-slope sections with careful property protection and clean daily staging.

02

Multifamily & HOA

Phased work, resident communication, protected entrances and repeatable specifications across buildings.

03

Commercial buildings

TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, self-adhered systems and restoration options around equipment and penetrations.

04

Mixed roof properties

Correct transitions between steep-slope shingles or tile and patios, dead valleys or low-slope additions.

Start with roof pitch

Slope determines which systems belong on the roof.

Final specifications must follow the adopted code, local requirements and the selected manufacturer’s listed installation instructions.

2:12 and steeper

Asphalt shingles

Asphalt shingles are permitted at 2:12 or greater. Roofs from 2:12 to under 4:12 require the code-prescribed special underlayment application. Zenith does not install shingles below 2:12.

2½:12 and steeper

Clay & concrete tile

Standard clay and concrete tile begin at 2½:12. From 2½:12 to under 4:12, code requires a double-underlayment application; 4:12 and steeper uses the standard prescribed application.

Low-slope assemblies

Membrane roof systems

Roofs below steep-slope covering limits need a listed low-slope assembly selected for drainage, deck, use and existing conditions—not shingles or standard tile forced onto the wrong pitch.

Explore low-slope roofing

Important: Below 2½:12, standard clay or concrete tile is not used unless a specifically approved/listed assembly allows it. Existing reroofs and unusual assemblies may require project-specific review.

Real installation conditions

We design around the entire roof—not just the field membrane.

Skylights, drains, walls, HVAC curbs, vents, conduit, edges and transitions determine whether a new roof performs. The proposal should explain how those details are rebuilt and tied into the selected system.

A clear replacement process

From inspection to final documentation.

01

Inspect & measure

Identify the roof systems, slopes, drainage, penetrations, layers, deck and access conditions.

02

Compare options

Explain appropriate systems, scope differences, materials, limitations and upgrades.

03

Prepare & install

Protect the property, remove or prepare existing roofing, address approved deck work and install to specification.

04

Verify & close out

Complete detail checks, cleanup, photos, maintenance guidance and applicable warranty documentation.

Roof replacement FAQ

Questions property owners ask before choosing a system.

How do I know which roofing system is best?

We start with slope, deck, drainage, existing materials and property use. Then we compare only systems that fit those conditions.

Can shingles be installed below a 2:12 slope?

No. Zenith does not install asphalt shingles below 2:12. Low-slope areas require a compatible listed membrane assembly.

Can tile be installed below 2½:12?

Standard clay and concrete tile are not used below 2½:12 unless a specifically approved/listed assembly permits it. Low pitches need project-specific review.

Do you replace residential and commercial roofs?

Yes. We work on homes, multifamily properties and commercial buildings using steep-slope and low-slope systems appropriate to each structure.

Can you combine systems on one property?

Yes. Many buildings have shingle or tile pitched areas plus low-slope patios, additions or dead valleys. Those transitions must be designed as part of the complete roof.
