Roof Repair

Q: How do I know if my roof needs repair or full replacement?

Q: Can you repair flat or TPO roofs?

A: Yes. We repair and install flat roofing systems including TPO membrane roofing for both residential and commercial properties throughout the Bay Area.

Q: What causes most roof leaks?

A: Common causes include failed flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights; cracked shingles or tiles; aging sealants; clogged gutters; and storm damage. We diagnose the root cause, not just patch symptoms.

Reroofing & New Roof Installation

Q: What types of roofing materials do you install?

A: We install asphalt shingles, concrete tile, clay tile, slate tile, and TPO flat roofing systems. We help you choose the best material for your home, budget, and Bay Area climate.

Q: How long does a new roof installation take?

A: Most residential replacements take 1–3 days depending on size and complexity. We’ll give you a clear timeline before work begins.

Q: What is the difference between reroofing and full replacement?

A: Reroofing (overlay) installs new material over the existing layer — faster and less expensive, but only appropriate when the underlying structure is sound. Full replacement involves tearing off the old roof before installation. We recommend the right approach after inspection.

Q: How long does a new roof last?

A: Asphalt shingles typically last 20–30 years; concrete and clay tile 40–50+ years; slate 75–100+ years. Proper installation and maintenance significantly impact longevity.

Gutters, Skylights & Specialty Services

Q: Do you install and repair gutters?

A: Yes. We install, repair, and replace gutter and downspout systems to ensure proper water drainage away from your foundation, siding, and landscaping.

Q: Do you install skylights?

A: Yes. We install new skylights and replace old or leaking ones, ensuring a fully waterproof installation integrated seamlessly with your roofing system.

Q: What is a roof coating and do I need one?

A: Roof coatings are protective layers applied to flat or low-slope roofs to extend lifespan, reduce heat absorption, and prevent moisture infiltration. We’ll assess whether it’s the right solution for your situation.

Q: Do you handle ventilation and chimney work?

A: Yes. We install ridge vents, assess attic ventilation, and install chimney caps to keep water, animals, and debris out of your roof system.
