Davis Roofing Group provides a wide range of roofing services for residential and commercial clients throughout the greater Sacramento Valley. The family-owned and operated company handles everything from reroofing, repairs and roof maintenance to debris removal and gutter cleaning.
Treasurer/Secretary Cintra Davis says Davis Roofing Group’s emphasis on communication has been an important aspect of its success. “Whenever we take on a roofing project, we keep in contact with the client throughout the entire process so they know what to expect. When they see the final product, they’re not surprised because they’ve been included in every decision, which customers really appreciate.”
Davis Roofing Group prioritizes quality control during each phase of the roofing process, which Mrs. Davis says is the key to ensuring positive results. “Michael [Davis, president] is a perfectionist, so if he’s not satisfied with a certain portion of our work, he’ll make sure it’s correct before moving on. At the end of the day, we want every client to get exactly what they envisioned.”
“Our ultimate goal is to make our clients happy, so we focus on providing excellent customer service and high-quality work that gives them the best value for their money. Our cost-effective roofing solutions enable our clients to keep their homes and businesses safe and aesthetically pleasing for the long term.”
If you’re looking to install a new roof on your house, consider the benefits of a cool roof.
For the past decade, new and replacement roofs have been required to comply with updated environmentally-friendly standards (per Title 24 legislation). Fortunately, the roofing industry has kept in step with these changes and developed roofing materials that both comply with the law and surpass their predecessors in terms of aesthetics and functionality. A roof that’s constructed with these types of materials is called a “cool roof.”
“Cool roofs are now required in just about every city and county we work in,” says Cintra Davis, treasurer/secretary of Davis Roofing Group in Galt. “Anything we install has to be cool roof compliant with either cool roof shingles or a radiant barrier OSB.”
Cool roofs are characterized by a high level of performance in two aspects: solar reflectance and thermal emittance. Both the lightness of color and specific composition of the roofing materials account for their ability to simultaneously reflect light and deflect heat. In comparison with a traditional roof, which features dark shingles that absorb and retain heat rather than reflect and release it, a cool roof will typically remain 50 to 60 degrees cooler during hot weather.
This reduction of roof temperatures presents numerous benefits for both homeowners and the environment. For homeowners, it means a significant decrease in energy costs (due to less air conditioning usage) and maintenance costs, as cool roofing practices both increase a roof’s life expectancy and make for easier replacement. For the environment, it means less energy usage and a relief of the “urban heat island effect,” which is an incremental increase in air temperature caused by the collective heat retention of a community’s roofs.
Even though Title 24 requires all new and replacement roofs to comply with updated standards, some homeowners still don’t want to use these newer roofing materials because of aesthetic preferences. Fortunately, the legislation allows for alternative ways of meeting the regulation. In essence, the goal of Title 24 is to ensure homes achieve a Solar Reflective Index (SRI) rating of less than 16. Since the law is primarily looking for a number, as long as your home achieves the desired SRI, it doesn’t matter how you do it. To achieve a compliant SRI rating as economically as possible without converting to a cool roof, try improving your attic ventilation.
“One of the easiest ways to improve attic insulation is to install vents on the roof, but if you don’t like the way those look, you should consider a ‘vent-a-ridge,’ which goes along the entire ridge line of the home,” says Mrs. Davis. “Ridge cap shingles can be installed right on top, so hot air can escape from the attic but can’t enter.”
Maintaining customer satisfaction is a crucial aspect of any business, but it’s even more important for roofing contractors that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award. For Davis Roofing Group, the key to keeping clients happy is simple: take a personalized approach to every project, regardless of the extent of the work. “Customer satisfaction is very important to us, so we remain professional throughout the entire roofing process,” says Treasurer/Secretary Cintra Davis. “Our clients aren’t just numbers to us—they’re people who truly care about their homes and businesses, so we take the time to make sure they’re completely satisfied with our work.”
Davis Roofing Group has been providing roofing services for residential and commercial clients throughout Sacramento County since 2017. The family-owned and operated company has the training and equipment to handle everything from reroofing, repairs and maintenance to debris removal and gutter cleaning.
Unlike roofing companies whose owners delegate project management responsibilities to less experienced employees, Davis Roofing Group provides every job with the hands-on expertise of President Michael Davis. “Michael is a perfectionist, so he does a thorough walkthrough after each project to make sure everything has been done correctly,” explains Mrs. Davis. “We also have a foreman who grew up working with Michael and shares his detail-oriented mentality, which means our clients can always expect the best possible quality control.”
Ultimately, Mrs. Davis sees Davis Roofing Group’s professional, straightforward approach to roofing as its most important attribute. “We don’t like the ‘sales approach’ where you pressure a client to sign a contract right away—we prefer to get to know our customers on a personal level so they can see exactly why we’re the best choice,” she says. “They know we’ll always be available to return their phone calls and answer their questions, and that really makes a difference when it comes to their overall experience.”
