Antioch's mid-century housing is aging fast. Thousands of homes were built between 1950 and 1975. You'll find them in the Rivertown corridor, the older blocks near Highway 4, and the central city. Many sit on roofs 50 to 75 years past their first install. Many have never been replaced. This is exactly our specialty. We know older homes, layered roofs, honest assessment, and fair pricing. When you compare roofing companies in Antioch, check the license and the reviews first — NuShake holds 4.5★ across 107 Google reviews under CSLB #1142280.
Antioch sits where the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta meets the East Bay, so its roofs face a mix most inland towns never see. Delta air pushes moisture into attics and under aging flashing, which is why we look hard for Delta humidity & roof moisture on mid-century Rivertown homes. Then winter drives atmospheric-river storm damage straight at brittle shingles and worn seals a dry-climate roof would shrug off.

Antioch grew fast in the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s. Bay Area workers came east of the hills for low-cost housing. That wave built thousands of homes. The roofs on those homes are now 50 to 75 years old.
Even well-kept roofs don't last forever. By year 50 to 70, the original sheathing can have soft spots. That comes from decades of heat cycling and stray moisture. The flashing sits around chimneys, at valleys, and along walls. It has likely been patched many times and may hide rot behind it.
Many Antioch homeowners got their homes from the first buyers and never replaced the roof. Others had two layers of shingles added over the original. They never fixed the sheathing underneath. When you peel back layers on a 1960s Antioch home, you can find surprises. That's why a full inspection comes before any repair or replacement.
Our crew is trained to spot these problems early. We give you an honest read on the deck, not just the surface shingles. If the deck needs board replacement before the new roof goes on, we tell you up front. We quote that work then, not mid-project.

Say your 1965 home has board-by-board rot under two layers of old shingles. We find it before the job starts and quote it up front. We don't spring it on you day-of and ask for more money.

This was the second house I have had re-roofed by NuShake and each time they have exceeded my expectations. The office staff is amazing and the workers are so professional. My roof looks amazing, they were clean and communicated well with me every step of the way.
During a heavy rainstorm, discovered the roof was leaking badly. The pro desk at Home Depot recommended NuShake. They were very responsive, came out within a couple of days, arranged the work quickly, did it reasonably and professionally, and were a pleasure to work with.
These people are the best of the best. I am very critical and picky when it comes to having work done at my home. This group blew me away. The salesperson, the 5–6 crew members, the office staff — all were upbeat, smart, friendly, and respectful. They made it fun even.
