Five Communities. Five Roofing Conversations.
Encinitas isn't one neighborhood it's five distinct ones unified into a single city in 1986. Each has its own physical character, its own housing stock, and its own roofing needs. The 1920s cottages along Coast Highway 101 in Old Encinitas need different care than the modern Encinitas Ranch builds inland. Leucadia's eclectic bungalows are nothing like Olivenhain's equestrian estates. Cardiff hillside cottages catch ocean spray that Olivenhain never sees.
Sequoia Roofing has been the trusted choice for Encinitas homeowners across all five communities for over two decades. We're owned and operated by Mike Rochholz, a midwest-raised craftsman who built this company on honesty, technical precision, and genuine craftsmanship. When you call us, we don't show up with a template estimate we show up with the right approach for your home and your neighborhood.
Schedule My InspectionMaster Elite Credentials. Real Local Knowledge.
Three reasons Encinitas homeowners across all five communities choose us when their roof matters most.
GAF Master Elite
Fewer than 2% of roofers nationally earn this certification. It means lifetime warranty coverage you can only get through us, and crews trained and verified directly by GAF.
Historic-Home Care
The Old Encinitas Historic District includes 1920s cottages that need careful tear-offs and an eye for original detail. Our crews respect older sheathing, original flashing, and the character that makes these homes valuable.
Coastal Expertise
Salt air, marine layer humidity, and ocean wind exposure demand specific materials and techniques. We've been roofing coastal North County homes for decades. We know what holds up and what fails within sight of the Pacific.
Encinitas Neighborhoods We Serve
From the surf cottages of Leucadia (92024) to the rural estates of Olivenhain and the historic homes along Coast Highway 101 we work every corner of Encinitas and adjacent coastal communities.
Every Encinitas Roof Type, Done Right
From the asphalt shingles on a Leucadia bungalow to the clay tile on an Olivenhain estate, we specialize in all four major residential roofing systems plus solar integration.
GAF Asphalt Shingle Systems
The default for Encinitas cottages and historic homes. GAF Timberline HDZ, Grand Sequoia, and Camelot II full Master Elite system with lifetime warranty coverage available only through certified contractors.
Concrete & Clay Tile
Common across Encinitas Ranch and Olivenhain estates. Eagle, Boral, US Tile color-matched replacements that respect existing architecture and HOA standards.
Standing Seam Metal
Galvalume, copper, and steel corrosion-resistant systems perfect for Cardiff hillside homes and modern Encinitas builds. 50+ year longevity in coastal salt air.
Solar-Ready Roofing
Planning solar? We coordinate with your panel installer so your roof and panels are spec'd properly the first time no costly retrofits.
Six Miles of Pacific Coast Take Their Toll
Few cities in California sit closer to the ocean than Encinitas. Six miles of Pacific coastline means salt air, marine layer humidity, and ocean wind reach almost every neighborhood from the Neptune Avenue cliffs to inland Olivenhain. That exposure accelerates degradation on metal flashing, fasteners, and underlayment. Marine layer creates ideal conditions for tile efflorescence and shingle granule loss.
We don't spec for some imaginary climate. We spec for what coastal Encinitas actually deals with: stainless or copper fasteners, marine-grade underlayment, ridge ventilation calibrated for ocean breezes, and the GAF Master Elite system that backs it all with the strongest warranty in the industry. The result lasts. Your investment is protected.

We Handle the Encinitas Paperwork
Encinitas requires building permits for roof replacements, and the city has specific fire-rating requirements that surprise many homeowners. As a fully licensed California contractor, we take care of all of it so your project moves smoothly from estimate to final inspection.
Encinitas Building Division at 505 S Vulcan Ave
We pull permits through Encinitas' Building Division (administered by InterWest) and coordinate the residential plan check process for every replacement project.
Class A Fire Rating Required
Per Encinitas Municipal Code, any roof where more than 50% is replaced within a year must use Class A fire-retardant roof covering. We spec only Class A materials by default.
CSLB License #897098
California state contractor license required by law and proudly displayed. Bonded, insured, and verifiable through the Contractors State License Board.
Coastal Zone Awareness
Many Encinitas properties especially in Cardiff, Leucadia, and along the coast fall within the Coastal Zone. We know which addresses need extra review and handle it as part of the job.
