Why Oakdale chooses DeHart Roofing.
Oakdale is the Cowboy Capital of the World. About 24,000 people live here, with a small-town downtown feel and a strong ranching and agricultural identity. The Stanislaus River runs along the north side of the city. Highway 108 connects Oakdale to the rest of the county — and to the Sierra foothills just beyond.
DeHart Roofing has been in Stanislaus County since 1975. Larry DeHart founded the company in Turlock. In 2026, the Espindola family acquired DeHart and brought it to the same operational level as Econo Roofing. Lead salesman Clayton DeHart — Larry's brother — stayed on through the change. So did the installation crews.
Oakdale is about 16 miles northeast of our Turlock HQ. We work here often. The historic core homes have complex geometry that requires real care. The newer east-side builds are more straightforward. We handle both with the same team and the same standards.
The product other Espindola roofers don't offer: DeHart quotes Pabco base-tier shingles. Econo Roofing and NuShake Roofing do not typically carry Pabco. For Oakdale homeowners who want professional installation at a lower material cost, Pabco is the option worth asking about when you call.
What makes Oakdale roofs different.
Oakdale sits where the flat valley meets the Sierra foothills. That geography creates roofing conditions you do not find in flat-valley cities like Modesto or Turlock.
Historic downtown homes: complex roof geometry.
Homes near F Street and the old downtown blocks were built from the early 1900s through the 1940s. Victorian and Craftsman styles are common. These homes have steep pitches, dormers, multiple valleys, and hip returns.
Complex geometry means more flashing points. More flashing points mean more places where water can get in. We flash every valley, every dormer, and every penetration to the full specification — not just the code minimum.
Older Spanish-tile roofs on ranches and estates.
Oakdale has older Spanish-tile roofs on ranch properties and larger lots. Tile systems fail differently than asphalt. Mortar at the ridge and hip caps breaks down over time. Cracked or shifted tiles let water under the system.
We inspect tile roofs apart from shingle roofs. We repair or replace mortar and tiles as needed. A tile roof in good shape can last 50 or more years — worth maintaining right.
Thermal cycling at the foothills edge.
Oakdale summers reach 105 degrees. Winter nights drop into the 30s. That is a 70-degree swing — larger than in flat-valley cities like Modesto or Turlock. This cycle stresses sealant strips and flashing joints harder and faster.
We hand-nail ridge caps on steep roofs and set all flashing with roofing cement at every seam. It takes more time, but it holds through the temperature cycles.
River moisture from the Stanislaus.
The Stanislaus River runs along Oakdale's north edge. Homes near River Road and Woodward Reservoir get more moisture than city-center properties.
That moisture grows algae and moss on north-facing slopes. We use algae-resistant shingles on all river-side and north-slope jobs. The right shingle adds 10 to 15 years of life under the manufacturer warranty.
