New Construction in Fresno, CA

New Construction in Fresno, CA

New construction roofing in Fresno typically costs $14,000 to $32,000 for a full roof on a newly built single-family home, depending on roof size, pitch, and materials. We install new roofs on custom homes, additions, ADUs, and full rebuilds across Fresno, Clovis, and surrounding San Joaquin Valley communities. If you’re framing a new house or planning a build, call Brennan Roofing Co Fresno at (559) 785-2160 and we’ll put a written price in your hands before any work starts.

New construction is different from re-roofing. There’s no tear-off, no hidden decking surprises under old shingles, no working around a family’s belongings. It’s a clean build, start to finish, and it demands the same discipline we bring to every Roof Replacement & Installation in Fresno job. The difference is that we’re working alongside your general contractor, your framer, and your electrician, and the schedule has to hold. We show up when we say we will, with background-checked uniformed technicians, and we don’t leave until the roof is watertight and inspected.

Travis Oakley runs our Fresno operation, and he insists on one thing above all: the price goes on paper before any work begins. That’s the Garrison Standard. No allowances, no “we’ll settle up later,” no change orders that appear out of nowhere. New construction is stressful enough. The roof should be the part you don’t worry about.

When You Need New Construction

New construction roofing isn’t just for brand-new custom homes. Here are the situations where we’re typically called in across Fresno:

• You’re building a custom home. Whether it’s in Woodward Park, Van Ness Extension, or out toward Madera Ranchos, a new build needs a roof system designed for the San Joaquin Valley’s heat, not just whatever the lumberyard had on sale.
• You’re adding an addition. A bedroom addition or second-story build in the Tower District or Sunnyside means tying new roof structure into existing framing. That transition point, if flashed wrong, leaks for years before you notice it.
• You’re building an ADU. Fresno’s ADU ordinance has made garage conversions and backyard units common. A 600-square-foot ADU roof is a smaller job but no less important, and it has to meet current Title 24 energy requirements.
• You’re doing a full rebuild after fire or structural damage. We’ve worked on rebuilds where the original roof was the only thing holding the house together. Starting clean is a chance to get it right.
• Your builder doesn’t have a roofing crew they trust. Many local GCs sub out roofing to whoever’s available. We work with several Fresno builders who got tired of no-shows and started calling us because we show up inside the promised window, every time.
• You’re a first-time owner-builder. Managing your own build is a big lift. The roof is one trade you want a real warranty and a real paper trail on.

Our New Construction Process

Here’s how new construction roofing works with Brennan Roofing Co Fresno, step by step. No mystery, no surprises:

1. Site walk and plan review. We look at your framing plans or walk the site if framing is already up. We check roof pitch, truss spacing, overhang detail, and ventilation design. Travis Oakley or a senior technician handles this meeting personally.
2. Written proposal with a fixed price. You get a line-item proposal on paper: underlayment, decking if needed, flashing, drip edge, ventilation, shingles or tile, labor, and any custom detail work. That number doesn’t move at the door. It’s the Garrison Code, and we don’t break it.
3. Material selection, explained plainly. We walk you through your options, from GAF Timberline architectural shingles to CertainTeed Landmark to Boral concrete tile for higher-end builds. Every option gets a straight explanation of cost, life expectancy, and how it holds up in Fresno’s 100-degree summers. No upselling, just facts.
4. Scheduled installation, coordinated with your builder. We coordinate with your GC or framer on the schedule. Our crew arrives in uniform, background-checked, and the foreman on site is the same person you met at the walkthrough. We don’t send a different crew and hope for the best.
5. Inspection walkthrough and written guarantee. When the roof is done, we walk it with you or your builder before the city inspector even arrives. Then we hand you the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: one full year, and if anything fails, we come back at no charge.

New Construction Pricing in Fresno

The cost of new construction roofing in Fresno depends on three things: roof size, roof complexity, and material choice. Here’s what we see across the valley:

Roof Type	Typical Range in Fresno	What Drives the Price
Standard architectural shingle roof (2,000 – 2,500 sq ft home)	$14,000 – $22,000	Single story, simple gable or hip roof, standard pitch
Higher-end architectural shingle (GAF Timberline HDZ or CertainTeed Landmark Pro)	$18,000 – $26,000	Upgraded shingle line, steeper pitch, more valleys and eaves
Concrete or clay tile (Boral, US Tile)	$28,000 – $45,000+	Tile material cost, heavier roof structure requirements, more installation labor
Standing seam metal	$30,000 – $50,000+	Premium material, specialized installation, high-end detail work
ADU or garage (400 – 800 sq ft)	$6,000 – $12,000	Smaller footprint but same permitting and inspection requirements

Roof pitch matters more than most people expect. A 4/12 pitch is quick work. A 10/12 pitch on a two-story custom in the Fig Garden area means safety harnesses, slower progress, and more labor hours. Complex rooflines with multiple valleys, dormers, and chase penetrations also add cost, because every transition point needs hand-cut flashing and careful underlayment detailing.

In Fresno, we also deal with Title 24 energy compliance, which can require specific ventilation design or cool-roof rated materials depending on your build. We handle that paperwork and make sure the roof passes inspection the first time.

Every new construction roof we price includes the full system: synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, drip edge, all flashing, ventilation, and the shingles or tile. Some roofers quote a bare “shingle price” and then add for underlayment, flashing, and trim once the job starts. We don’t do that. The written proposal covers the complete roof system from day one.

Call (559) 785-2160 for a free estimate. We’ll come out, walk the site or review your plans, and give you a number in writing. No obligation, no pressure.

Materials We Install and Why They Matter in Fresno

Fresno summers are brutal. A roof in this valley has to handle 105-degree days, UV exposure that bakes cheap shingles in a decade, and the occasional valley floor downpour that dumps water faster than the drainage can handle. Material choice isn’t cosmetic here. It’s the difference between a roof that lasts 20 years and one that fails at 12.

We install from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. We don’t push a single brand. We explain what each line actually costs and how it performs in this climate, then you decide. For most Fresno new construction, GAF Timberline HDZ or CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles hit the right balance of cost and durability. For high-end custom builds, Boral concrete tile adds serious longevity and fire resistance, though it needs a properly engineered roof structure underneath it.

Whatever you choose, you’ll know the real cost before we start, and you’ll have a written guarantee for one full year after we finish.

The Garrison Standard on Every New Build

Brennan Roofing Co Fresno operates under the Garrison Standard, a defined set of practices we don’t bend on. Here’s what that means on a new construction job:

• Written price before any work starts. Not an estimate range. A fixed number on paper, before the first shingle is loaded on the truck.
• Background-checked, uniformed technicians on every job. You will know exactly who is on your roof and on your property. No day labor, no unknowns.
• Live person answers the phone, 24/7. When you call about a schedule question or an inspection time, you get a human being, not a voicemail tree. That’s true even at 2 AM if something goes wrong.
• 365-Day Done Right Promise. Every new construction roof is guaranteed in writing for one full year. If something fails in that year, we come back and fix it at no charge. We don’t argue about whose fault it was. We just make it right.

We’re an independently owned local business, not a franchise. Travis Oakley runs this shop. When you call, you’re calling the person accountable for your roof, not a dispatch center in another state.

FAQs – New Construction

How much does a new construction roof cost in Fresno?

A new construction roof in Fresno typically costs between $14,000 and $32,000 for a standard single-family home, with premium materials like concrete tile or standing seam metal running $28,000 to $50,000 or more. The main cost drivers are roof size, pitch, complexity, and material selection. Call (559) 785-2160 for an exact written quote. Estimates are free, and the price we put on paper is the price you pay.

How long does new construction roofing take in Fresno?

Most new construction roofs in Fresno take 3 to 7 working days from start to final inspection, depending on size and complexity. A standard single-story architectural shingle roof on a 2,000-square-foot home usually takes 3 to 4 days. Steeper pitches, tile installation, or complex rooflines add time. We coordinate directly with your builder so the schedule holds.

Do you work with general contractors and custom home builders?

Yes, we work with general contractors, custom home builders, and owner-builders across Fresno and the surrounding valley. We understand construction schedules, we show up when we’re promised, and we provide the paperwork and warranty documentation your lender and inspector expect. Call (559) 785-2160 and we’ll coordinate directly with your GC.

What’s included in your new construction roofing price?

Our written proposal includes the complete roof system: synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield at all eaves and valleys, drip edge, all flashing, ventilation, and the shingles or tile you select. There are no add-on charges for the components every roof needs. The price you approve is the price you pay. Call (559) 785-2160 for a free estimate and see the full line-item breakdown yourself.

Do you offer a warranty on new construction roofs?

Yes. Every new construction roof we install carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If anything fails within one full year of installation, we return and fix it at no charge. No arguments, no trip fees, no fine print. That guarantee is separate from the manufacturer’s material warranty, which runs longer and covers shingle defects.
