Your Bay Area roofing questions, answered.

Brian Espindola is the licensed owner-operator of NuShake Roofing (CSLB #1142280). He started in roofing at age 18 as a tear-off crew member at Econo Roofing. By 20 he was leading a crew. At 21 he moved into sales as Econo's lead salesman. At 23, he earned his own California C-39 contractor license and took over NuShake as its operating owner. He is the son of Mario Espindola, who founded Econo Roofing in 1996. When you call NuShake, you reach an owner who has done every job on a roofing crew.

The Espindola family acquired NuShake Roofing in 2024. Brian Espindola then earned his own California C-39 contractor license (CSLB #1142280) in 2025 and took over as the named owner-operator. NuShake has been operating under Brian's licensed management since 2025, backed by the Espindola family's 30+ years in roofing.

All three are part of the Espindola family of roofers. Each brand is independently licensed and serves a distinct territory:

Econo Roofing — Mario Espindola's flagship since 1996. Serves the Central Valley from Modesto through Fresno. OC Platinum Preferred certification.

DeHart Roofing — Stanislaus County institution since 1975. Acquired by the Espindola family in 2026. Serves Turlock, Modesto, Ceres, and the Modesto–Livingston corridor.

NuShake Roofing — Bay Area and northern Central Valley since 1976. Brian Espindola's company since 2025. Serves Ripon, Stockton, Tracy, Manteca, Pleasanton, Livermore, and 18 more cities.

NuShake serves the Bay Area and northern Central Valley. Our primary territory covers 24 cities: Ripon, Stockton, Tracy, Manteca, Lathrop, Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, Fairfield, Vacaville, Sacramento, Elk Grove, Discovery Bay, and surrounding communities across Alameda, Contra Costa, San Joaquin (north), Sacramento (south), and Solano counties.

For properties in Stanislaus County, our sister brand DeHart Roofing is your crew. For the Central Valley from Modesto through Fresno, Econo Roofing serves that territory. Same family standards — the closest crew to your address.

Call us at (209) 253-0506. If the geography works, we dispatch our crew. If you are clearly in DeHart or Econo territory, we route you to the right brand rather than sending you somewhere without context. You get the same Espindola family quality — just from the crew that is closest and most familiar with your area.

NuShake holds five manufacturer certifications:

1. CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster — factory-trained for CertainTeed shingle systems. Enhanced warranty on qualifying installations.
2. GAF Master Elite — top 2% of contractors in North America. Manufacturer-backed warranties up to 25 years.
3. GAF Solar Certified — factory training for solar roofing installations.
4. Owens Corning Preferred — OC-authorized installer.
5. GAF Gold Elite — additional GAF performance and training tier.

Most Bay Area roofing contractors carry one or two certifications. Five certifications means five manufacturers have verified our training and installation standards.

Earning a manufacturer certification requires factory training, documented installation quality, and ongoing compliance audits. Most contractors stop at one or two — the work to maintain more takes time and resources. Brian comes from a family operation (Econo Roofing) that has led the Central Valley in certifications for three decades. That standard carries over. Five certifications means five different manufacturers have independently verified the quality of our work.

Yes. Brian Espindola holds California C-39 contractor license CSLB #1142280. You can verify it at www.cslb.ca.gov — search by license number. This is Brian's own license. Each Espindola family brand operates under its own independently held license.

Yes. Every roof inspection is 100% free with no obligation. Brian or a senior crew member walks your roof, documents findings with photos, and delivers a written report. You see the full condition of your roof before making any decision. Call (209) 253-0506 or fill out the form on our contact page to schedule.

Warranty terms depend on the materials you choose. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, NuShake can offer the Golden Pledge warranty (covers materials and workmanship for qualifying GAF installations). As a CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster, we can offer SureStart PLUS enhanced warranties. Brian explains all warranty options in writing as part of every estimate — no surprises on the final bill.

Call (209) 253-0506 and you reach Brian's team directly. Most active leaks and storm damage situations receive same-day or next-day attention. Response time depends on crew availability and weather conditions. Brian is reachable by phone — you are not calling a call center or a dispatch service.

Yes — and this is one of NuShake's distinctive offerings in the Bay Area. Brian's team installs attic insulation and skylights in addition to full roofing services. Many homeowners combine a roof replacement with insulation upgrades or skylight installation in a single visit. This removes the hassle of scheduling multiple contractors. Ask about insulation and skylight options when you request your free inspection.

Both are Espindola family brands — same operational standards, different regions and ownership histories.
