Roofing in Novato covers a wide spread of homes, from 1960s and 1970s tracts around San Marin Drive to hillside houses near Indian Valley Open Space Preserve. Many of those original roofs have been replaced once already, and the second roof is now reaching the end of its life.
Novato is warmer and sunnier than southern Marin, so asphalt shingles on west and south slopes dry out and lose granules faster. In winter, storms push wind-driven rain under lifted edges, and oaks on the hill lots drop limbs onto roofs.
Roofing permits for Novato homes come from the City of Novato. The roofer inspects the roof and attic and gives a written estimate before any work starts. Storm damage calls are answered 24/7.
