Why Modesto chooses DeHart.
Modesto is Stanislaus County's largest city. It is also 15 minutes north of our Turlock headquarters on Highway 99. That proximity means fast response and crews who have worked Modesto neighborhoods for decades.
DeHart Roofing was founded in Turlock in 1975 by Larry DeHart. In 2026, the Espindola family acquired the company and brought it to the operational level of their Central Valley flagship, Econo Roofing. Lead salesman Clayton DeHart — Larry's brother — stayed on through the change. The installation crews stayed on too.
What sets DeHart apart from the other Espindola brands in Modesto is simple: we quote Pabco shingles. Neither Econo Roofing nor NuShake Roofing typically offer Pabco. If you want the same expert installation at a lower material cost, DeHart is your only path in this family.
Only at DeHart in Modesto: Pabco base-tier shingles. Same installation quality. Lower material cost than OC or GAF. Ask about it on your free inspection.
Modesto neighborhoods — what we know.
Modesto has distinct areas. Each has its own roofing challenges. Here is what we see regularly in each part of the city.
College Area — Spanish tile and historic homes.
The College Area has Modesto's oldest housing stock. Many homes date from the 1930s to the 1950s. Spanish tile is common here — clay and concrete. Tile roofs need experienced crews, not just shingle installers. We repair and replace tile. For historic homes, we match profile and color as closely as possible to what is already there.
This area also requires permits through the City of Modesto Community and Economic Development Department. We handle that for you.
Village One — HOA requirements and newer asphalt.
Village One is a planned community in northwest Modesto. It has active HOA guidelines covering shingle color, profile, and brand. If you live here, you need HOA approval before work starts. We have worked in Village One. We know the process. We help you select compliant materials and submit any documentation your HOA needs — before we write the quote.
La Loma and Graceada Park — mid-century decks.
These 1950s and 1960s ranch neighborhoods are on second or third roofs. Decking in homes of this era is often board sheathing, not plywood. Board decks can develop gaps and soft spots over decades. We inspect the deck structure during every free inspection and tell you before we start — not after.
McHenry historic corridor — steep pitches and thermal stress.
The McHenry corridor mixes older Craftsman bungalows, mid-century ranches, and some newer infill. Older homes here often have steeper pitches and more complex valley geometry. Thermal cycling — hot Modesto afternoons, cooler nights — stresses shingles on any pitch. We recommend cool-roof rated products for this area. They cut attic temperatures and extend shingle life.
Scenic Drive and Davis Park — complex geometry.
Upscale homes in Scenic Drive and Davis Park have hips, valleys, dormers, and multiple roof planes. These features require precise flashing at every transition. We photograph each area during the free inspection and explain exactly what we plan to do before work starts.

Pricing in Modesto.
These are typical ranges for Modesto residential projects. Your exact number comes after the free inspection, in a flat-rate written quote.
Roof Repair
Leaks, shingle or tile repair, flashing, storm damage
Roof Replacement
Full tear-off and install. Pabco is our lowest-cost material tier.
For a typical Modesto home — single-story, 1,500 to 2,200 square feet — a full replacement with dimensional shingles runs roughly $9,500 to $15,000. Two-story homes and more complex roofs cost more. The free inspection gives you the exact number.
The City of Modesto requires permits for roof replacements. We pull all permits and handle every inspection — included in your quote at no extra charge.
Why the Pabco option matters for Modesto homeowners.
Most roofers in Modesto carry Owens Corning or GAF. Both are solid products. DeHart also carries Pabco — a California shingle brand most local contractors do not stock.
Pabco makes their products in California. The shingles are built for the Central Valley's UV load, heat, and dry conditions. You get a product made for this climate, often at a lower price than the national brands.
If you want a long manufacturer warranty and premium backing, GAF or OC is the right call. If you want a solid, well-installed roof at a fair price, Pabco deserves a look. We will show you both options at the inspection.
Climate and roofing conditions in Modesto.
Modesto's Central Valley climate is hard on roofs. Here are the conditions we account for on every Modesto job.
Extreme summer heat.
Modesto summers regularly hit 105 to 110 degrees. That UV load degrades shingle granules and causes sealant strips to fail. We recommend cool-roof rated materials for any Modesto home with significant south-facing exposure.
Tule fog and winter moisture.
Winter tule fog creates long stretches of surface moisture. Algae and moss grow on north-facing slopes. We install algae-resistant shingles and check attic ventilation on every job to reduce condensation buildup inside the roof system.
Thermal cycling.
Hot days and cooler nights make roofing materials expand and contract. Over time, this stresses nail patterns and sealant. Our installation methods account for thermal movement with correct nail patterns and expansion-tolerant underlayment.
