Holding CSLB license #871672 (C-39 Roofing) and OSHA 30-Hour certification, S&W Roof Tear-Off operates from Grossmont Boulevard in La Mesa's Grossmont area as a dedicated demolition subcontractor for roofing installers across San Diego County. The tear-off-only model means the company removes existing roof systems — shingles, shakes, concrete and clay tile, cap sheet, and ballast rock — then clears the deck for re-roofing crews from installers like Coastal Crest Roofing to begin new underlayment and material application. Government contracts on Southern California military installations require EM-385-1-1 safety compliance, Rapid Gate and DBIDS base-access credentials, and a designated Competent Person on every job site under California's 24-hour fall-protection training mandate. Commercial tear-off scopes on multi-story structures utilize custom-built trash chutes, reach machines, and dump hoppers, backed by $2 million in general liability coverage — a demolition scale that coordinates with storm-damage restoration firms such as EMS Restoration on insurance-driven re-roof timelines. Vacuum services for built-up roofing systems use a 2017-model unit registered with the California Air Resources Board PERP program, operating at reduced decibel levels up to 600 feet from the main unit to remove loose gravel and ballast from BUR membranes before overlay or full tear-off.
