The local picture in Davis
The city switched from groundwater to mostly river water in 2016. Tule fog can settle in on winter mornings.
Old North has homes from the early 1900s. Low-slope sections over porches and additions are common leak points. Village Homes was built in the 1970s as an early solar-designed neighborhood.
Fire-resistant roofing and ember-resistant vents are required for new work in many high fire-risk areas. Most homes sit on slab foundations.
Utilities, permits and licensing
In California, licenses for roofing contractors come from the Contractors State License Board. A full replacement usually needs a permit from the City of Davis Building Division, and the contractor normally pulls it. Ask for the scope, materials and cleanup in writing before the first shingle comes off.
Who runs what: the City of Davis for water, the city's wastewater treatment plant for wastewater and the City of Davis Building Division for permits. Many homes have rooftop solar. UC Davis is the city's largest employer.

Questions from Davis residents
How long does a shingle roof last?
Typically 20 to 30 years depending on the product and climate. Heat, sun, wind and the quality of the original install all affect how long a roof actually lasts.
Which parts of Davis can you help with?
Pros we work with cover Davis neighborhoods such as Old North, Central Davis, Village Homes and Wildhorse, in ZIP codes . Apartment and condo jobs count too, so give the unit number and any buzzer or parking details. If nobody's available, we'll tell you.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
At least once or twice a year, more if trees overhang the roof. Clogged gutters send water back under the roof edge and down the walls, so they matter more than they seem.
Any Davis details worth mentioning when I call?
Davis has more than 100 miles of bike lanes and paths. The Davis Farmers Market runs year-round in Central Park. Summer highs often top 95 degrees. It helps to say roughly when your home was built.
Where do permits come from in Davis?
Davis permits come from the City of Davis Building Division. Ask the roofing contractor before work starts whether a permit applies to your job.
