Roof repair and replacement for San Rafael homes
San Rafael has a wide mix of roofs. Terra Linda and Lucas Valley have many Eichler homes with flat or low-slope roofs that hold water when drains clog. Older homes around downtown, Gerstle Park and Dominican often carry shingle or tile roofs that have been patched more than once.
Most roof trouble here shows up in the wet months, roughly November through March. Wind off San Pablo Bay lifts shingle edges, and oaks and bay laurels in the hill neighborhoods drop leaves and branches that clog gutters and valleys.
When you call, the roofer inspects the roof and the attic, finds where the water gets in and gives a written estimate before any work starts. Roofing calls come from San Rafael and nearby towns such as Novato, Larkspur, San Anselmo and Mill Valley.
- Flat Eichler roofs need clear drains and sound seams before the first big storm of the season.
- Most reroofs inside city limits need a permit from the City of San Rafael Building Division.
- Lucas Valley and Marinwood are unincorporated, so their roofing permits go through Marin County.
