Roofing Services in Marina, San Francisco
Honest, no-oversell roofing in Marina from a family-owned San Francisco contractor since 1996.
The Marina is a tight grid of 1920s–30s Spanish Revival and Mediterranean stucco homes, many rebuilt or substantially repaired after the 1989 earthquake. Most have low-slope flat roofs hidden behind parapets, with some red-tile or terra-cotta accent sections.
The Marina catches stiff wind off the Golden Gate year-round and a thick marine layer most summer mornings. Wind-driven rain at parapet-to-roof transitions is the leading cause of Marina leak calls.
"If your Marina flat roof is leaking, it's almost always the parapet flashing — not the field. We diagnose before we quote a tear-off."

Recent local project
After the 2023 winter storms we handled a wave of parapet flashing repairs on Cervantes Boulevard homes — small fixes that solved years of intermittent wind-driven leaks.
Local roof planning in Marina
A Marina stucco parapet is part of the weatherproofing system, not just a decorative border. Cracks in cap joints or failed wall-to-roof flashing can admit wind-driven water without leaving an obvious defect in the field membrane. Note whether leakage occurs only during windy storms and share that pattern with the inspector. The repair should distinguish roof work from any wall repairs that need separate attention.
Spanish Revival homes may have small tile accents in front of a larger flat roof. Those sections should be examined individually, including their connection to gutters or concealed drainage. Preserving attractive tiles does not justify leaving failed underlayment beneath them. On an occupied multi-unit building, ask how temporary weather protection, neighboring access and cleanup will be handled when a compact roof is opened for replacement.
Why choose Ace for your Marina roof?
Our family-owned company has served San Francisco and the Bay Area since 1996. We are licensed, bonded and insured, and begin with the condition of your existing roof rather than assuming replacement is necessary. Explain when a leak appears, share earlier repair records and tell us about access restrictions. That information helps distinguish a localized flashing or drainage problem from wider material deterioration. A useful recommendation identifies the defect, the work needed to correct it and any limitations of repairing the surrounding older roof.
For a replacement, compare written scopes rather than headline prices. Ask what happens to old roofing layers, how exposed decking is checked, which materials and flashings are included, and how permit requirements will be confirmed. Discuss daily weather protection, cleanup, warranty terms and approval of hidden damage before work begins. Once the project is complete, keep your photographs and paperwork together and agree on sensible drain and flashing checks. Continued maintenance is part of protecting the investment, whether the work was a small repair or a complete new roof.

Marina Roofing FAQs
Why does my Marina roof leak only in heavy wind-driven rain?
Almost always a parapet flashing or cap-stone joint. We pressure-test and re-flash those areas — it's a few-hundred-dollar fix that solves years of intermittent leaks.
Do you preserve original Spanish tile accents on Marina homes?
Yes. We carefully work around or salvage and reset original terra-cotta and Spanish tile accent sections.
Can you replace a Marina flat roof in winter?
Yes, weather-permitting. We watch the forecast closely and dry-in each working area daily so a sudden rain doesn't catch the building open.
