High-Pitch Gable Roof Upgrade for Oakland Bungalow

Full roof replacement for an Oakland bungalow with an extended gable design, optimized for ventilation and long-term durability.

Project Overview

This Oakland bungalow features a long, high-pitched gable roof with a secondary cross-gable entry and a side-positioned brick chimney. The structure’s extended layout and symmetrical ridge required careful coordination to maintain balance across ventilation and roofing elements. Multiple vents and plumbing stacks were integrated along the ridge, requiring precise placement to support airflow without disrupting the overall roof system.

Completed high-pitch gable roof with clean, consistent shingle layout.

Roofing System Installed

The installation included a complete roofing system designed for performance and ventilation efficiency. Components included Owens Corning True Definition Cool Roof shingles, upgraded underlayment, balanced ridge ventilation, and reinforced flashing at the chimney and all roof penetrations to ensure a secure and weather-resistant system.

Flashing applied around chimney and key connection points.

Work in progress along the extended roofline and ridge.

Result

The new roofing system improves both ventilation and protection, supporting long-term performance through seasonal changes in the East Bay. With clean alignment and properly integrated components, the roof delivers a refined finish and reliable durability.
