Residential & Commercial Roofing in San Rafael
Everything we do is roofing. That focus means our San Rafael crews install more roofs per year than companies that try to do siding, windows, and remodeling on the side.
Roof Replacement
The average roof replacement in San Rafael takes one day for a standard residential home. Larger or steeper roofs might take two. Either way, we don't leave a house uncovered overnight. If we tear it off, we cover it before we leave. No exceptions.

Roof Repair
Missing shingles from wind damage expose the underlayment to UV degradation. If the underlayment is compromised, water intrusion follows the next rain. We don't just replace the missing shingle. We pull back surrounding courses, inspect the underlayment for UV damage and nail holes, replace compromised sections, and weave new CertainTeed Landmark or IKO Cambridge shingles into the existing field. Proper repair, not a patch.

Storm Damage Repair
Wind speeds above 60 mph cause shingle tab lift and adhesive seal failure per ASTM D7158 testing protocols. Our San Rafael inspectors check the entire windward exposure. Not just the obvious damage. Poor ventilation causes ice dams which cause water intrusion under the shingle field during freeze-thaw cycles. We document all contributing factors so your insurance claim covers root-cause repairs, not just surface patches.

New Roof Installation
Proper ventilation is the most overlooked element in new roof installation. We calculate intake and exhaust per IRC R806 based on attic square footage. Balanced ventilation. Soffit intake matched to ridge exhaust. Keeps your attic cooler in summer and drier in winter. That extends roof life and cuts your energy bill.

Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal with Kynar 500 PVDF fluoropolymer finish. The gold standard for color retention and chalk resistance. We install Sheffield Metals and McElroy Metal panels in 24-gauge Galvalume steel. UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance (qualifies for insurance discounts in most California markets). UL 790 Class A fire rating. Wind uplift rated to 140+ mph per ASTM E1592 testing. Concealed Z-clips allow thermal expansion without stress on fasteners. That's what makes standing seam leak-proof.

Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles cover more homes in America than every other roofing material combined. There's a reason. They're affordable, they look good, they last 25-50 years depending on the grade, and they come in dozens of colors and profiles. Our San Rafael crews have installed thousands of shingle roofs and we know the product better than most roofers in the state.

Flat Roofing
The number one cause of flat roof failure is ponding water. Standing water that doesn't drain within 48 hours after rain. We solve ponding by installing tapered insulation systems that create positive slope to drains, scuppers, or roof edges. Minimum 1/4" per foot of slope eliminates standing water.

Commercial Roofing
For commercial kitchens and restaurants in San Rafael, PVC membrane is the only option that resists animal fat and chemical exposure from rooftop grease exhaust. We install IB Roof Systems and Duro-Last PVC with heat-welded seams and custom accessories. Modified bitumen with SBS or APP polymer-modified asphalt for high-traffic commercial roofs. Two-ply systems with 20-year NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranties from Johns Manville or Firestone.

Roof Inspection
Buying or selling a home in San Rafael? A roof inspection from a licensed contractor beats whatever the home inspector saw from the driveway. We check every component, give you a remaining-life estimate, and flag anything the buyer or seller should know about.

Emergency Roof Repair
After we secure the tarp and stop the leak, we photograph and document everything while the damage is fresh. This documentation is critical for insurance claims. Adjusters want to see the damage before any repairs are made.

Skylight Installation
VELUX FS (fixed) and VS (vented) skylights installed with EDL flashing kits for shingle roofs. The multi-step flashing integrates with the surrounding shingle courses per IRC R903.2. We frame the curb with doubled 2x8 or 2x10 lumber (depending on rafter depth), install ice and water shield membrane around the entire curb perimeter, then set the skylight with factory sealant before weaving step flashing into the field. Top headwall flashing tucks under the upslope shingle course. Bottom sill pan diverts water onto the downslope shingles. Zero exposed sealant joints. Mechanical flashing only.
