About this page. DeHart Roofing was founded in 1975 by Larry DeHart in Turlock, CA. In 2026, the Espindola family acquired the company. We include the ownership-history questions here directly. Customers deserve clear answers — especially if you are researching reviews from before the transition. Newer reviews reflect today's Espindola-led operation.
Ownership & History
DeHart Roofing has served Stanislaus County since 1975. In 2026, the Espindola family acquired the company from its original founder. Lead salesman Clayton DeHart continues in his role. Our installation crews carried through the transition intact. Operations are now run by the Espindola family — owners of Econo Roofing and NuShake Roofing.
No. DeHart Roofing is owned by the Espindola family. Larry DeHart sold the company in 2026. He now operates a separate gutter business. That business is not affiliated with DeHart Roofing.
DeHart Roofing is owned by the Espindola family. They also own Econo Roofing (founded by Mario Espindola in 1996) and NuShake Roofing (operated by Brian Espindola in the Bay Area).
Yes. We kept the full installation crew through the transition. Clayton DeHart — Larry's brother and longtime lead salesman — continues in his role. The same crews are installing your roof today. They now operate to the standards of the Espindola family of roofers.
All three are part of the Espindola family. DeHart is the Stanislaus County specialist with roots going back to 1975. Econo Roofing is the Central Valley flagship, founded by Mario Espindola in 1996 and serving Modesto through Fresno. NuShake Roofing serves the Bay Area and northern Central Valley under Brian Espindola, who earned his own contractor license in 2025.
Service Areas
DeHart Roofing serves Stanislaus County and the Modesto–Livingston corridor, including Turlock, Modesto, Ceres, Hughson, Riverbank, Oakdale, Salida, Empire, Patterson, Newman, Denair, Keyes, Hilmar, Waterford, and Livingston.
For Bay Area roofing, our sister company NuShake Roofing serves Ripon, Stockton, Tracy, Manteca, Pleasanton, and Livermore. For broader Central Valley service, our parent brand Econo Roofing covers Modesto through Fresno.
We will route you to the right crew. The Espindola family runs three roofing brands across California. If you call DeHart from outside our primary area, we will dispatch our crew if the geography works. Otherwise we refer you to NuShake Roofing (Bay Area and north of Modesto) or Econo Roofing (Modesto through Fresno). Same family standards, closer crews.
Inspections, Pricing & Warranty
No. Every inspection is 100% free with no obligation. You receive a written report with photos. It covers the full condition of your roof.
We use flat-rate written estimates. You see the full price before work starts — materials, labor, tear-off, permit, and warranty. No surprises on the final bill. We also offer Pabco base-tier shingles. That is an entry-price option most sister brands do not carry. It gives homeowners trade-quality work at a lower material cost.
DeHart Roofing operates under CSLB License #749551, held by Mario Espindola. That license carries Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status and GAF Master Elite certification. These are the highest tiers both manufacturers offer.
We offer manufacturer-backed warranties up to 50 years on qualifying installations. Coverage includes materials, workmanship, and tear-off. Specific terms depend on the materials you choose. We explain all warranty options in writing as part of your estimate.
