General
What areas do you serve?
Downtown San Jose (95113) and the surrounding Santa Clara County communities, including Japantown, Naglee Park, Willow Glen, Rose Garden, Almaden Valley, Santa Clara, and Campbell. See our full service area page for details.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We carry general liability insurance and operate in compliance with California roofing contractor requirements and the City of San Jose's local building and Title 24 energy codes.
Do you offer free inspections?
Every inspection is free, with no obligation to move forward. You'll get photos and a written summary of what we find either way.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family home replacements take one to three days depending on roof size, pitch, and material. Weather can shift the schedule during the winter rainy season, and we'll keep you updated if it does.
How do I get a roofing quote?
Call us or fill out the contact form and we'll schedule a free on-site inspection. You'll get a written, itemized quote based on your actual roof — not a phone estimate.
Pricing
How much does a roof repair cost?
It depends entirely on the scope — a single flashing repair costs far less than deck repair after long-term water damage. We give you an exact written number after the free inspection, not a phone estimate.
How much does a full roof replacement cost in San Jose?
Cost depends on roof size, pitch, material choice, Title 24 cool-roof compliance, and how much deck repair is needed underneath the old roofing. Asphalt shingle replacement is generally the most cost-effective option; concrete tile and standing-seam metal cost more upfront but last significantly longer and carry a Class A fire rating out of the box.
How much does a roof inspection cost?
Nothing — every inspection we perform is free, whether or not you move forward with repairs.
Do you require a deposit?
Standard practice for larger jobs is a modest deposit to schedule materials, with the balance due on completion. We'll spell out the exact payment schedule in your written estimate.
California Codes, Storms & Insurance
Do I need a Title 24 cool roof?
Most re-roofing projects in San Jose now trigger California's Title 24 cool-roof requirements once a significant portion of the roof is replaced, following the 2025 Building Energy Efficiency Standards that took effect January 1, 2026. We build CRRC-rated, code-compliant material options into every replacement quote.
Is my roof required to be Class A fire-rated?
Class A is the highest fire-resistance rating a roofing assembly can earn, and it's required by code for new construction and most reroofs across much of California's Wildland-Urban Interface zoning. Even in denser San Jose neighborhoods outside a designated fire hazard zone, Class A materials (composition shingle, tile, and metal) are a smart, code-forward choice we'll walk you through.
Will homeowners insurance cover storm or leak damage?
Most California homeowner policies cover sudden water intrusion from a storm event, subject to your specific policy and deductible — gradual wear from age typically isn't covered. We document damage thoroughly and can meet your adjuster on-site — see our insurance claims page for the full process.
What should I do immediately after a leak during a storm?
If there's active water intrusion, call us right away for emergency tarping. Avoid going on the roof yourself during or right after a storm — wet tile and shingle roofs can be dangerously slippery.
