Tuolumne County.

Tuolumne County rises from the Sierra foothills into genuine mountain terrain. Sonora sits at 1,800 feet elevation. Jamestown, Copperopolis, and Murphys range from 1,000 to 2,200 feet. That elevation means colder winters, heavier snowfall, and more freeze-thaw cycles than the valley floor below.

Fire is the defining roofing concern in Tuolumne County. The 2013 Rim Fire burned over 250,000 acres here, and fire season now extends from May through November. CAL FIRE maps large portions of the county as High and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Building codes require Class A fire-rated roofing, enclosed eaves, and ember-resistant vents on most new construction and major reroofs.

Many homes in Gold Country date to the mid-1900s or earlier, with skip sheathing, minimal insulation, and outdated ventilation. A modern reroof here often involves upgrading the decking from skip sheathing to solid plywood, adding ice-and-water shield at valleys and eaves, and installing balanced ridge-to-soffit ventilation. We bring mountain-rated materials and valley-trained crews to every Tuolumne County project.
