Rau Roofing,llc

Rau Roofing operates out of Jamestown in Tuolumne County, serving the Sierra Foothills communities where roofing demands differ significantly from valley and coastal California. The company handles residential and commercial projects across the Mother Lode region, from Sonora and Columbia to outlying rural properties where access and logistics require local knowledge. The foothills present a specific combination of challenges. Fire risk is the dominant concern, with wildfire seasons that have grown longer and more intense over the past decade. Class A fire-rated roofing assemblies, ember-resistant venting, and proper defensible space coordination matter here in ways that flatland contractors rarely consider. Winter brings occasional snow loads at higher elevations, requiring structural assessment and appropriate material selection for homes above 3,000 feet. Summer temperatures in Tuolumne County regularly exceed 100 degrees, pushing thermal expansion cycles that stress flashing and edge details. The swing between hot afternoons and cool mountain nights accelerates wear on lower-quality materials. Rau crews select products and installation methods that account for this daily thermal cycling, extending service life in an environment that punishes shortcuts. Services cover the standard residential spectrum: composition shingle replacements, repairs for storm damage and isolated leaks, and new construction installations. Commercial flat roof systems serve the businesses and municipal buildings throughout the county. Estimates come with detailed scope documentation, and project timelines account for the seasonal constraints that govern roofing work in mountain communities. Local jobs mean local accountability, and most business comes from neighbors who have seen the work firsthand.
