What San Diego Homeowners Say About Tilehurst Roofing San Diego
Reviews aren’t decoration. When a San Diego homeowner has water coming through the ceiling or decking that’s gone soft underfoot, they want to know who showed up, what it cost, and whether the fix held. We earn every review the same way: a written price before any work starts, a crew that arrives when we say we will, and a written guarantee handed over before we leave the driveway. What follows are real experiences from homeowners across San Diego County, in their own words, about roof repair and replacement work done under the Kingswell Guarantee.

We had a leak over the kitchen that two other companies said was a flashing issue. They both quoted different fixes. Tilehurst found that the original underlayment had torn away from the roof deck where the patio cover tied in. They showed us photos from the ladder, explained what we were looking at, and had the written price in our hands before anything started. The repair held through February’s storms and the guarantee paperwork was on the counter before the crew left.

Our 2003 asphalt shingle roof in Rancho Peñasquitos was at the end of its life. Tilehurst walked us through the replacement, and what stood out was that they didn’t push one brand. They laid out options from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Tamko with the price difference on each, and let us decide. The written quote never changed. Not once. That alone earned the five figures we spent.

I called at 8:40 on a Sunday night after a section of ridge cap blew loose in a Santa Ana wind event. A live person answered on the second ring. Not a machine. The next morning, a uniformed technician was on the roof in La Mesa, resecured the ridge cap, and checked the surrounding shingles for lift. He left me a written guarantee on the repair before he drove off. You don’t forget that kind of response.

Most roofers we talked to in Chula Vista wanted to replace the whole thing after a simple leak around the plumbing vent. Tilehurst actually repaired the boot and the surrounding underlayment for a few hundred dollars, and told us the rest of the roof had several years left. A written guarantee came with the repair. That honesty is why we’ll call them when it’s time for the full replacement.

We bought a 1960s home in North Park with the original shake roof still partially in place. Tilehurst was straight with us: full tear-off, new decking where needed, new drip edge, new underlayment, and a standing seam metal option we chose after seeing Atlas and Boral samples side by side. They pulled permits, passed inspection the first time, and the written price before work started matched the final invoice to the dollar.

Our flat roof in Mission Hills had been patched three times by previous owners, and every winter the same corner leaked. Tilehurst found the real problem: the slope wasn’t draining, and the old torch-down had cracked along the parapet wall. They fixed the drainage, replaced the membrane, and matched the existing stucco. A year later, not a drop. And we have the written guarantee and the 365-Day Done Right Promise behind every bit of it.

How Much Do Roof Repairs Cost in San Diego?
Roof repair pricing in San Diego varies widely depending on what’s actually wrong, but you should know what to expect before you call. Most small asphalt-shingle repairs run $350 to $750, which covers things like replacing a handful of torn shingles, resealing a pipe boot, or fixing a small flashing leak. Larger repairs that involve replacing underlayment, rebuilding a valley, or addressing decking damage typically run $900 to $1,800. If you’re looking at a full roof replacement on a San Diego home, expect $9,000 to $18,000 for asphalt shingles and $18,000 to $35,000 for standing seam metal, depending on square footage, tear-off complexity, and material choice among GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, or Boral.

Every one of these jobs starts the same way: a written price before any work starts. Not a ballpark. Not a handshake. A line-item number on paper that doesn’t move when the crew finds something unexpected, because we price for what we see and we honor it. Call (619) 393-3877 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Customers Trust Us
The reviews above share a pattern, and it’s not an accident. Every job starts with a written price before any work starts, which means no surprises after the tear-off begins. Then a background-checked, uniformed technician arrives in the window we gave, explains what they found in plain language, and does the work with materials from seven manufacturers, so the product matches the home and the budget. Before the crew leaves, the written guarantee is in your hands. If a repair fails inside the guarantee period, Tilehurst Roofing San Diego returns at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. That’s the Kingswell Way: say the price before the work, show up when we said, leave the roof cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, come back if it fails. To talk through your roof, call (619) 393-3877 and speak with a live person, any hour, any day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Full roof replacements in San Diego require a permit through the city’s Development Services Department, and Tilehurst Roofing San Diego pulls the permit, schedules the inspection, and doesn’t call the job done until it passes. The written price includes permit fees, so there’s no add-on charge after the fact.
No. The price we put in writing before any work starts is the price you pay. If the crew opens a section of roof and finds decking damage we couldn’t see from the surface, we’ll show you a photo and a number before touching it, but the original scope and price never changes without your written approval. Call (619) 393-3877 for a free estimate with the price in writing.
Every repair from Tilehurst Roofing San Diego carries a written guarantee that’s delivered before the crew leaves, not mailed later. If that repair fails during the guarantee period, the crew returns and corrects it at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. You’ll have the terms in your hand, in plain language, with the technician’s name on it.
Most asphalt shingle replacements take 1 to 2 days on a standard single-family home. Tear-off, decking repair, underlayment, and the new roof all happen in sequence, weather permitting. Larger homes with complex roof geometry or tile reset work can take 3 to 5 days. We’ll give you a schedule in writing before the job starts, and we hit it.
