The Johnsons had lived in their Madera foothills home for 14 years under a standard asphalt shingle roof. After the fires of 2020 came within 8 miles of their property, replacing the roof with a fire-resistant alternative became a matter of safety, not aesthetics.
Their existing roof still had functional life remaining — but peace of mind required more than RoofMaxx could provide here. They wanted a Class A fire-rated roof, and they wanted it to be the last roofing decision they ever made on this home.
We followed a systematic process to assess the situation and develop the right solution:
Consultation on metal roofing options: standing seam vs. exposed fastener vs. stone-coated
Fire rating review for each product option
HOA review for color/finish compliance in their development
Insurance pre-approval consultation to confirm discount eligibility
Full tear-off and standing seam installation
Insurance documentation package for premium discount application
Standing seam metal roof installation in Charcoal Gray. Full tear-off of existing shingles and underlayment. New synthetic underlayment. All penetrations resealed with high-temp metal flashing.
Class A Fire Rating
Class A fire rating achieved. Insurance premium decreased by 11% annually. 50-year manufacturer warranty. The Johnsons expect this to be the last roofing project of their lives on this home.
“We live in fire country. Every year we watch the news and worry. This roof finally made us feel like we did everything we could to protect our home.”
