Achieve custom-fit results on challenging, one-of-a-kind roofs with Rivas Roofing’s specialty roofing services. We handle steep-slope, historic, and architectural projects that demand the use of premium materials and attention to complex details. Every job is planned, installed, and finished with hands-on care by a family team that takes pride in the result. Always.
Custom Roofing
Craftsman-style homes and historic properties need more than standard roofing: they need someone who understands the details that make them special. At Rivas Roofing, we handle custom roofing projects that respect original architecture while addressing real-world issues such as aging materials, leaks, and outdated systems. From wood shake and architectural shingles to specialty flashings and trim work, we personalize every detail of the project.
For historic home roof repair and replacement, we take a hands-on approach. We assess what can be preserved, what needs upgrading, and how to meet current code requirements without changing the character of the house. Every detail matters, from roof pitch and ventilation to material, to produce a roof that looks right, performs better, and stands the test of time.
Energy-Efficient & Cool Roofs
Rivas Roofing, we install energy-efficient roofing systems that reflect sunlight, improve insulation, and reduce roof surface temperatures. This includes cool roofing materials and assemblies that help minimize heat transfer while extending the life of your roof under the harsh sun.
Cool roof coatings take efficiency further. These reflective, liquid-applied systems are designed to meet California Title 24 requirements by increasing solar reflectance and thermal emittance. When applied correctly, cool roof coatings can lower the interior temperatures and reduce HVAC demand. We evaluate your existing roof, recommend compliant options, and install coatings or systems that meet code while delivering real performance benefits.
High-Pitch & Steep-Slope Roofs
High-pitch and steep-slope roofs demand a higher level of skill and planning. On Tudor, Victorian, and modern custom homes, roof angles are often extreme, with complex layouts, dormers, and multi-level transitions. Rivas Roofing handles these projects with crews trained to work efficiently on challenging slopes while maintaining precise installation standards and protecting the structure below.
These roofs also require specialized safety systems and protocols. We use proper harnessing, rigging, roof jacks, scaffolding, and fall-protection equipment to ensure safe steep-slope work. Every step is planned before we start, from access points to material staging. The result is clean, accurate workmanship on roofs that many contractors won’t touch, completed safely and correctly, with attention to the architectural details that make the home unique.
Premium Slate & Synthetic Tile Roofs
Premium slate and synthetic tile roofs are chosen for their refined look, durability, and architectural presence. These aren’t installed like ordinary asphalt: they require precision, proper layout, and a deep understanding of weight, fastening patterns, and flashing details. At Rivas Roofing, we work with natural slate alternatives and high-end synthetic tiles that deliver luxury aesthetics without compromising long-term performance.
Architectural shingles also fall into this premium category when installed correctly. Their layered profiles, enhanced thickness, and dimensional design demand more skill than standard shingles to achieve clean lines and consistent exposure. We help produce roof systems that look intentional, perform reliably, and reflect the craftsmanship expected on high-end homes.
