Roof Installation in San Jose
Simmitri Inc. completed a full roof replacement for a residential property located at Maiden Lane in San Jose. The project involved removing the existing worn roofing system, replacing damaged decking, and installing a new high-performance asphalt shingle roof using GAF materials and Tiger Paw synthetic underlayment. Solar tubes were also integrated into the new roof to bring natural daylight into the home’s interior. The work was fully permitted through the City of San Jose (Permit #2025-125648-RS) and passed final building inspection, ensuring the installation met all 2022 California Building, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Electrical Code requirements.
The Challenge
The home’s existing roof had reached the end of its serviceable life and showed signs of deterioration, including compromised eave insulation and aging decking that needed partial replacement. The homeowner needed a complete re-roof that would meet current California building codes and pass city inspection, while also improving natural interior lighting without adding electrical costs.
Our Solution
Simmitri pulled the required City of San Jose building permit and executed a full tear-off and replacement using GAF shingles and Tiger Paw synthetic underlayment for superior moisture protection. Damaged decking was repaired prior to shingle installation, and solar tubes were seamlessly integrated into the new roof system to channel natural daylight into the home. The project passed final building inspection (Code 948) and was completed to the full satisfaction of the homeowners.
