We pull the permit, install to manufacturer specification, and pass the inspection, so your new roof performs the way it should from the day it goes on.

Matching the right system to the home
Every new roof starts with choosing the right material for the house, the budget, and the way the home is built, and our habit is to lay the genuine trade-offs on the table rather than nudging you toward whatever is easiest for us to sell. Quality architectural asphalt covers a great many South San Francisco homes for sound reasons. It is affordable, it comes in colors that sit well against the stucco and frame houses common here, and it is well understood and straightforward to repair. Metal asks more up front but goes the distance and stands up to the elements that wear other materials down, while tile suits the streetscapes where it already defines the look. Which one is right turns on the house, the pitch, and how long you intend to stay.
Because our living is in building the roof and not in moving one particular product, the recommendation we make is anchored to your home rather than to a sales target. An owner settling in for the long term often comes out ahead with the tougher, longer-lived material, while another is well served by good asphalt. We set the real comparison in front of you, explain what each choice means for cost, lifespan, and upkeep, and leave the decision where it belongs, with you.
A complete assembly, not just the top layer
A new roof is far more than the material you see from the curb. On new construction and additions we build the complete system from the deck up. We verify the sheathing, lay quality underlayment with reinforced protection along the eaves and valleys where water is driven hardest, install new flashing at every penetration and wall, set a clean drip edge, and finish with the roofing material itself. Every layer has a job, and the roof performs as it should only when all of them are doing theirs together.
Ventilation is designed in from the very start, which is one of the real advantages of getting the roof right on a new build rather than inheriting a compromise. Balanced intake at the eaves and exhaust at the ridge keeps the attic close to the outside air and stops moist air from condensing on the underside of the deck and rotting the wood from below. A great many roofs fail early because the original ventilation was never right for the building. A new installation is the one moment to get it right for the entire life of the roof, and we treat it as exactly that.
Permitted, inspected, and timed to the build
A new roof is one of those jobs where the paperwork is part of the quality. We take out the permit the work requires, follow the manufacturer's instructions to the letter so the material warranty holds, and present the work to the inspector as the code requires. Skipping any of that might shave a little off the price at the start, but it leaves the warranty, the insurance coverage, and the home's resale value exposed, and that is simply not a trade we are willing to make on a homeowner's behalf.
Working in step with the rest of a build is the other half of doing a new roof well. On fresh construction and additions, the roof has to arrive at the right point in the schedule, once the framing and sheathing are ready and in rhythm with the other trades, so the structure gets dried in without stalling whatever comes next. We stay in contact with the homeowner, and with the general contractor where there is one, to land the install at the right moment rather than treating it as a stray task dropped into the middle of a project. It all opens with a free, no-pressure consultation, where we walk the project, talk through the material options, and hand you a clear written estimate with the scope laid out in plain terms. Once the new roof is on, you receive the documentation, the manufacturer coverage, and our own workmanship guarantee layered over it.
