1 Wood shingles or shakes are beautiful but require ongoing maintenance, can be prone to fires and don't last as long as other roofing materials. 2  Installing natural wood shingles or shakes on an average one-story, ranch-style home (1,700-2,100 square feet of gently sloping roof) costs around $6,800-$20,000 or more. Do-it-yourself materials to install an asphalt shingle roof on an average one-story ranch-style home (with a gently sloping roof of 1,700-2,100 square feet) can run $680-$3,700, depending on the quality of the materials.

Summer can bring weeks of temperatures above 100 and poor air quality. It's not a whole lot better than L.A. smog in my experience. Spring and fall have some of the best seasonal weather you'll find anywhere. It almost never snows and winters are tame. Summer is the only thing I don't like about Sacramento weather but some people thrive on the heat. The American River Parkway may be THE best thing around here. They managed to preserve 30 miles of nearly uninterrupted hiking, biking, rafting and wildlife-viewing right in the middle of 2 million people.
