Residential Roofing in Palo Alto
Most of our Palo Alto work is on homes, and the housing stock here is unusually varied. You have mid-century Eichlers with flat roofs, 1920s bungalows near downtown, and newer two-story builds in Midtown and Crescent Park. Each type needs a different approach. Homeowners here usually want a roofer who can match materials to the home's style, handle the permit and keep the yard clean. We do all three. Whether you need a roof leak repair before winter or a full replacement on an aging shake roof, we treat your home like it is on our own block.
- Asphalt shingle roof replacement — We install GAF, Owens Corning and CertainTeed shingles on Palo Alto homes, matching profiles to the neighborhood look. Most replacements take two to four days, and we handle the permit and Title 24 documentation. We also install new ridge vents and underlayment so the roof performs as a system.
- Flat and low-slope roof repair — Eichler homes and additions across Palo Alto often have flat roofs. We repair and replace TPO membrane, EPDM membrane and modified bitumen, and we check drainage on every visit. Ponding water is the main cause of failure, so we correct slopes when needed.
- Roof leak repair and emergency tarping — Winter rain exposes leaks fast. We trace the source, repair flashing or underlayment, and tarp active leaks 24/7. Most Palo Alto leak repairs are completed in a single visit, and we test with water before we leave.
- Roof inspection for buyers and sellers — If you are buying or selling a home in Palo Alto, a roof inspection gives you a clear picture of remaining life and needed repairs. We check shingles, flashing, gutters and attic ventilation, then send photos and a written summary within 24 hours.
