Roofing Services in Berkeley, Berkeley
Honest, no-oversell roofing in Berkeley from a family-owned San Francisco contractor since 1996.
Berkeley is heavy on early-1900s Craftsman bungalows and brown-shingle homes, with Berkeley-style modernist additions, and a meaningful inventory of small flat-roof apartment buildings near campus. Original wood shake roofs are still being replaced regularly.
Berkeley's hill neighborhoods are WUI fire zones — wood shake is now banned for replacement and Class A assemblies are required. The flats see fog-influenced damp mornings most of the summer.
"We replace original wood shake with Class A composition or metal regularly in the Berkeley hills. Code-compliant, fire-safer, longer-lasting."

Berkeley Roofing FAQs
Can I still install a wood shake roof in Berkeley?
No — California code prohibits wood shake replacement in WUI zones, which covers all of the Berkeley hills. Class A composition, metal, or tile are the compliant options.
Do you re-roof Berkeley brown-shingle homes?
Yes. Berkeley brown-shingles often need careful coordination with original siding and trim — we handle that work regularly.
How much does a Berkeley hill re-roof cost?
Berkeley hill jobs typically run $20,000–$55,000 depending on size, access, and material — Class A composition is most common.
