Residential Roofing in Berkeley
Most of our Berkeley work is residential, and most of those homes were built before 1960. That means original roof decks, multiple old shingle layers, and the kind of deferred maintenance that only shows up when you tear into it. We handle everything from a single leak repair on an Elmwood bungalow to a full replacement on a hillside home above Cragmont. Homeowners here care about three things: stopping leaks before they damage the interior, getting a roof that lasts through the fog and wind, and having a crew that cleans up properly when the job is done.
- Full roof replacement for older Berkeley homes — We tear off all old layers, inspect and replace rotted sheathing, and install a new system with proper underlayment, flashing, and ridge vents. Most Berkeley bungalows take two to three days. We pull the City of Berkeley permit and handle the inspection.
- Roof leak repair and diagnosis — Leaks in Berkeley often start 10 to 15 feet from where the stain appears. We trace the source, repair the flashing or penetration, and test with a hose before leaving. Most leak repairs are completed in a single visit and cost $450 to $1,200.
- Annual roof maintenance plans — Berkeley roofs need two maintenance visits per year: one in fall to clear gutters and check flashing before the rains, and one in spring to clear moss and debris. Our maintenance plan includes both visits, plus resealing penetrations and checking ridge vents.
- Emergency tarp-overs and storm response — When a winter storm tears up shingles or drops a limb on your roof, we respond 24/7. We tarp the roof to stop water intrusion, then schedule the permanent repair. Emergency tarp-overs start around $500 and are credited toward the repair if you book with us.
