GAF Construction in Lompico, CA | Brookside Contractors
We provide independent GAF roofing construction and repair across Lompico – Timberline shingles, EverGuard TPO, ridge ventilation, and full roof replacements built to Santa Cruz County code. What makes our GAF work different here is simple: we’re set up for canyon access, steep driveways, and wildfire-season detailing. Most roofing crews around the county are not. If you’re dealing with a leaking GAF roof or planning a replacement on a heavily treed Lompico lot, call (833) 725-3508 for a free estimate, and we’ll be straight with you about what the job actually involves.
Why Lompico Residents Choose Us for GAF Service
We’re an independent construction contractor working on GAF systems throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains, with hands-on familiarity with the Timberline HDZ, Timberline UHDZ, and EverGuard lines. We are not authorized, sponsored, or warranty-endorsed by GAF – and frankly, that’s the point. We’re not pushing a manufacturer’s agenda. We’re building to the manufacturer’s published install specs because they’re good specs, and we’re doing it on lots that would make a flatland crew quit.
Nate Burrell runs our GAF work, and he grew up in this kind of terrain over in the South Valley, training in construction technology at Gavilan College before spending the better part of two decades on job sites across this region. He’s the one who’ll walk your roof and tell you whether a $600 repair makes sense or whether you’re throwing money at a field that’s already done. That’s the kind of honesty Lompico homeowners tell us they can’t get from a dispatch-based roofing outfit.
We keep OEM-compatible parts and GAF-branded accessories moving through our Lompico jobs because canyon humidity and canopy debris don’t forgive cheap substitutions. When your GAF roof needs service, you get a crew that knows the product line and the actual road up to your house. That combination is rare.

Common GAF Construction Problems We Solve in Lompico
- Premature seal failure on Timberline HDZ fields. Lompico’s summer heat cycling and winter canopy debris trap moisture against the shingle mat. On shaded north slopes, seal strips never fully bond. We see this constantly – the roof looks fine from the ground, but a wind storm lifts an entire field because the shingles never locked together.
- Granule loss on redwood and tanoak-facing roof planes. Constant leaf litter and wet needle buildup holds damp organic debris against the shingles, which accelerates granule loss and weathering. By the time a homeowner notices bare patches, the mat underneath is usually shot. This is a replacement situation, not a repair one.
- Leaks from under-ventilated Cobra ridge or intake setups. Older cabin-era roof structures in the canyon often have low pitch and zero soffit venting. That means mountain humidity can’t move, and the shingle deck rots from the underside. The ridge vent is fine – the intake side was never built for it.
- Flashing failures at chimneys and skylights on steep canyon roofs. Lompico gets heavy wet-season rain volumes. Step flashing and counter-flashing that was clipped short or installed without a proper cricket gets overwhelmed fast. We rebuild these penetrations to handle the actual water volume this canyon throws at them.
- Gutter and drainage failures tied to the roof assembly. When gutters sized for a mild climate get hit with canyon rain plus redwood needle load, they clog and back up under the eave, which rots the GAF starter strips and fascia. Roof and gutter work in Lompico are the same job – we treat them that way.
GAF Service in Lompico: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Lompico’s narrow, winding private roads and steep driveways off Lompico Road frequently can’t take a standard shingle delivery truck. That changes everything about how a GAF roof gets done up here. GAF bundles and underlayment often have to be staged at the road and shuttled in on smaller loads or by conveyor before a roof crew can even start. This is a logistics constraint that doesn’t apply to a flat Felton or Ben Lomond lot. It means the project timeline, the staging plan, and the labor line item are all different for Lompico homeowners than they are for someone three miles down the road. We plan for that from the first site visit. If a roofing company quotes you a Lompico replacement without ever asking how they’re getting the shingles up your driveway, be suspicious.
On a steep, redwood-shaded lot off Lompico Road, our crew tore off a failing cabin-era roof and found the deck was too far gone for overlay, so we re-decked and installed a GAF Timberline HDZ field with Pro-Start starter and Cobra ridge vent, then added new gutters sized for canyon rain. Because the shingle truck couldn’t make the driveway, we staged bundles at the road and shuttled them up in smaller loads, and we detailed the ember-resistant vents and edge flashing for the summer fire exposure. That’s what a Lompico GAF job looks like when it’s done right.
GAF Models & Products We Service in Lompico
We work across the GAF product line that matters for mountain construction: Timberline HDZ architectural shingles, Timberline UHDZ for homeowners who want the heavier dimensional look, EverGuard TPO single-ply membrane for low-slope sections, and the accessory layer that holds the whole system together – Pro-Start starter strips, Cobra ridge and exhaust ventilation, and GAF-branded underlayment.
Where the assembly’s warranty and fire rating depend on matched components, we specify GAF-manufacturer accessories. Where quality aftermarket flashing and fasteners meet or exceed the spec, we use them and say so. We keep common Timberline HDZ colors and GAF accessory stock moving through our Lompico jobs so delays stay short and your roof isn’t left open waiting on a backorder from somewhere else.

FAQs – GAF Construction in Lompico
Yes, but it takes staging that flatland crews don’t plan for. We stage shingle bundles and underlayment at the road on Lompico Road or wherever your driveway flattens, then shuttle material up in smaller loads or by conveyor. The job takes a little longer and the labor line item reflects it, but it gets done right. Call (833) 725-3508 and we’ll walk your access before we quote anything.
Most re-roofing and full GAF replacements in unincorporated Santa Cruz County require a building permit, and yes, the county path is different from a city building department. We handle the paperwork, inspections, and Chapter 7A-style detailing. Call (833) 725-3508 for an exact quote on your specific roof.
Timberline HDZ is our go-to for shaded canyon roofs because of its wind rating and the way the seal strips behave when they’re not fighting constant moisture. Timberline UHDZ is the heavier visual upgrade if you want the dimensional look and your deck structure can handle it. We’ll tell you which one earns its cost on your specific roof plane.
Timberline HDZ and UHDZ carry a Class A fire resistance rating when installed to the manufacturer’s spec with matched accessories. The rating is only as good as the assembly – ember-resistant vents, proper edge detailing, and clean gutters all matter. This is the exact conversation we have with every Lompico homeowner, because your insurance company will have it too.
It depends on the deck and the granule condition. An isolated flashing leak runs $400 to $1,800 to repair and holds for years. Widespread granule loss or a soft, wet deck on a 20-year-old field means a repair is throwing good money after a roof that’s already done. Call (833) 725-3508 and Nate will get on the roof and give you a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
