Roofing in Magalia, CA
Magalia sits above Paradise at about 2,300 feet, high enough for real snow most winters and deep enough in the pines that a roof fills with needles twice a year. The south half of town burned in the Camp Fire; the north half, Paradise Pines, did not, and its 1960s to 1980s houses are carrying roofs that are due.
Magalia is unincorporated, so permits come from Butte County, and it sits in the state responsibility area where the fire code's Class A and ember-resistant vent rules apply. Metal is the roof most people want up here, for the snow and the needles, and we put on a lot of it.
