Roofing in Larkspur often means an older home. Many houses on the streets off Magnolia Avenue and in the hills above downtown were built before 1950, with steep roofs, wood shakes or older shingles and chimneys that need fresh flashing.
Redwoods and oaks shade much of Larkspur, so roofs stay damp, grow moss and collect needles. Valleys and gutters clog, and wind-driven rain in winter storms finds the gaps. Homes near Larkspur Creek and Bon Air Road see this most.
Roofing permits for Larkspur homes come from the City of Larkspur, and homes in the historic downtown area may face extra review. The roofer inspects the roof and attic and gives a written estimate before any work starts.
