“I am very pleased with Mark Anthony Roofing. They installed my new roof in two days. The crew was very good, cleaned up every day before they left. I would highly recommend them. Very professional from start to finish.”
Ronald Smith
“We hired Mark Anthony to replace our roof and fix rotted wood eaves and facia boards on our home. Mark showed up to see how the job was progressing every day and asked us if we had any questions for him. Things were done very professionally and the team cleaned up every day and were all very polite. They also came inside and put plastic up under our vaulted ceiling to catch any dirt that may come through the roof. I had not thought of that. Everyone worked very hard and I am a very picky person.
Job well done – thank you!
I would highly recommend Mark Anthony Roofing.”
Pam C.
“Ted Figart had visited my home when I first tried contacting Mark Antony roofing and construction. Very pleasant and authentic guy. Not salesy at all. Told me what the roofing company will do for us when I sign up with them and they just did that. Among the 4 quotes I got, Mark Antony was the cheapest. They were on time, their workers were on time and did a high quality job. No issues after they removed my old roof and installed a new one. My shingle roof looks great. WOuld highly recommend Mark Antony to everyone especially those who dont want to worry about the roof once it is installed as Mark Antony and team do a phenomenal job in the installations.”

Expert cool roof replacement for homeowners in San Marcos, Carlsbad, Oceanside, and surrounding communities.
Energy-Efficient Roofing for San Diego Homes
A cool roof is defined by its ability to reflect solar heat and reduce heat transfer into the home. In California, Title 24 compliance is typically required during full roof replacement, not surface repairs or coatings.
For San Marcos homeowners, cool roof replacement often becomes necessary when:
- A roof is torn off and replaced
- An insurance-driven upgrade is required
- A home must meet updated energy code standards
We install Title 24–compliant cool roof systems as complete replacements, ensuring proper underlayment, ventilation, and reflective roofing materials are installed together as a unified system.
As a GAF Master Elite® contractor, we manage both installation and compliance documentation to help homeowners avoid delays, rejections, or failed inspections.
Lower Energy Demand
Reflective roofing materials reduce attic heat buildup and help lower cooling demand during peak San Marcos summers.
Title 24 Compliant
We install full systems that meet California energy code requirements and provide proper documentation.
GAF Master Elite® Standards
Installed by the top tier of certified contractors for long-term system performance.
Enhanced Indoor Comfort
More consistent interior temperatures without relying solely on air conditioning.
Reflective Roofing Materials
Designed to reflect solar radiation rather than absorb it.
Durable System Design
Cool roof systems resist thermal stress that can shorten roof lifespan.

Why We Replace, Not Repair
Cool roof coatings and surface repairs do not meet Title 24 requirements and are not recognized as compliant roof replacements.
- Energy Code Compliance: Title 24 applies to full replacements, not patchwork solutions.
- System Integrity: Underlayment, ventilation, and reflective materials must work together as a complete system.

Cool Roof Replacement FAQs — San Marcos, CA
What qualifies as a cool roof in San Marcos?
A cool roof in San Marcos qualifies only when installed as part of a full roof replacement that meets California Title 24 requirements.
Qualification is based on specific reflectivity and emissivity standards defined by the state, not surface coatings or temporary treatments. During roof replacement, approved cool roof materials are selected and documented to meet San Diego County building code requirements.
Is a cool roof required during roof replacement in California?
In many cases, a cool roof is required when completing a full roof replacement, depending on the building type, slope, and local jurisdiction.
California Title 24 energy standards typically apply during permitted replacement work, not repairs or partial upgrades. In San Marcos, compliance is determined at the time of roof replacement and confirmed through permitting and inspection.
How much does cool roof replacement cost in San Marcos?
A full replacement includes removal of existing tiles, inspection of the roof deck, complete tile roof underlayment replacement, updated flashings, and reinstallation of new or approved concrete tiles per manufacturer specifications.
Is a cool roof worth it in San Marcos?
A cool roof is often worth considering when installed as part of a full roof replacement, especially given San Marcos’ summer heat and California energy standards.
Cool roof systems can help reduce heat absorption, support energy efficiency goals, and ensure compliance with Title 24. Value comes from long-term durability and code alignment rather than short-term savings guarantees.
What are the disadvantages of a cool roof?
Cool roofs installed as part of a full replacement can have a higher upfront cost compared to standard materials.
Design options may also be more limited depending on reflectivity requirements and roofing material choices. Cool roof systems are not suitable for partial installs, coatings, or surface-only solutions, as those do not meet Title 24 standards.
How long does a cool roof last?
A cool roof lasts as long as the roofing system it is installed with during full replacement, not as a separate layer or paint.
Lifespan depends on the roofing material selected, installation quality, and environmental exposure common in San Diego County. Cool roofs are systems, not coatings, and durability is tied to the underlying roof replacement.
Can a cool roof be installed over an existing roof?
No — a cool roof must be installed as part of a full roof replacement to meet Title 24 requirements.
Overlays, coatings, and surface-only applications do not qualify as compliant cool roof systems. In San Marcos, proper underlayment, flashing, and material installation are required during replacement to achieve code compliance.
Does a cool roof affect homeowners insurance?
Homeowners insurance is typically influenced by roof age, condition, and documentation following a full roof replacement with Title 24–compliant materials.
A newly installed cool roof can improve underwriting confidence by demonstrating code compliance and updated waterproofing systems. Insurance acceptance in San Marcos varies by carrier and policy terms, not guarantees.
