Roofing in Berkeley, CA

Serving Berkeley and Surrounding Areas

Berkeley’s fog and winter rains create a perfect storm for roof damage. Here’s what we fix most:

- **Moisture intrusion** – The marine layer keeps roofs damp for months. Water seeps under lifted shingles, wicks along the decking, and eventually rots the wood. We find this in North Berkeley’s older homes and newer builds alike. - **Granule loss** – Asphalt shingles in South Berkeley and Elmwood lose granules after years of fog and sun. That erosion exposes the fiberglass mat, and then the shingle starts to flake and curl. A roof replacement is often the only fix. - **Sagging and settling** – Hillside homes in Claremont and the Berkeley Hills can shift over time. A sagging roofline means structural issues, not just a cosmetic problem. We shore up the framing and relay the roof with proper ventilation. - **Leaks around penetrations** – Chimneys, skylights, and vents are where most leaks start. Over time, the flashing corrodes or the sealant peels. We recaulk, repatch, or reinstall flashing to stop the drip before it becomes a ceiling stain. - **Storm damage** – Winter storms bring high winds and heavy rain. We’ve seen whole sections of shingles blow off in Rockridge and West Berkeley. We provide emergency tarping and permanent repairs within days.

If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait. Water moves fast, and rot spreads faster. Call us for a free inspection.
