Brett Johnson Roofing Company | Roofing Services in Truckee, CA 96161

We address these interconnected problems with solutions designed for our local climate. For gutters, we often recommend and install larger-capacity systems or heated gutter cables to manage snowmelt and prevent ice dams that cause overflow. For ventilation, we perform a detailed assessment of your attic's airflow and may upgrade to high-efficiency intake and exhaust systems. Proper ventilation is critical here; it helps regulate attic temperature to reduce ice dam formation in winter and lowers cooling costs in summer. Our fabrication shop allows us to create custom vent flashings for a perfect, watertight seal on any roof.

Our on-site shop gives us complete control over a critical part of the roofing process. For complex roof designs or historical homes common in the Tahoe area, we can fabricate precise flashings, valley metal, chimney caps, and custom snow retention systems that fit perfectly. This means no waiting for off-site orders, fewer seams or potential leak points, and a final product that is specifically engineered for your home's architecture and our local weather conditions. It's a level of customization that ensures longevity and performance.

Our process begins with a thorough inspection of your existing roof structure to ensure it can support our local snow loads, and we'll advise on any necessary reinforcements. We then help you select materials rated for severe weather, such as Class 4 impact-resistant shingles or standing seam metal, which shed snow effectively. During installation, our crew pays special attention to creating a continuous ice and water shield along the eaves and in valleys—a crucial step for ice dam prevention. Brett, with over 30 years here, oversees the work to ensure every detail meets the demands of mountain living.
