We are not a single-brand shop. The right shingle for a Pacific Heights Victorian is not the right shingle for a Burlingame ranch, and forcing one product onto every roof is how contractors end up with mismatched colors and warranty headaches three years in.
Asphalt shingle (the workhorse of Bay Area residential):
- GAF Timberline HDZ with LayerLock — our default architectural shingle. StainGuard Plus algae protection, WindProven limited wind warranty, 130 mph wind rating in the StrikeZone nailing area.
- CertainTeed Landmark / Landmark Pro — heavier weight than HDZ, deeper shadow line. The Pro line ships with StreakFighter algae resistance.
- Owens Corning Duration / Duration Premium — SureNail technology gives consistent fastener placement; popular when the homeowner has matching siding from OC.
- Malarkey Vista / Highlander — polymer-modified asphalt with smog-reducing 3M granules. The premium environmental story when the homeowner cares about it.
Concrete and clay tile:
- Boral / Eagle Roofing concrete tile — the dominant Bay Area choice for tile re-roofs, especially in Atherton, Hillsborough, and Los Altos Hills.
- US Tile by Boral clay tile — when a Mediterranean-revival home needs an authentic match.
Standing-seam metal: Drexel Metals, McElroy Metal, or Custom-Bilt Metals Galvalume in 24-gauge — chosen by panel profile (1.5″ or 2″ snap-lock) and the supply yard’s stocked color match.
Low-slope and commercial: GAF EverGuard TPO, Carlisle Sure-Weld TPO, Johns Manville TPO; Carlisle EPDM for very low-traffic decks; IB Roof Systems PVC in restaurant and rooftop-deck applications where chemical resistance matters.
If you have a specific product in mind, ask us — we can source any major brand. We will tell you straight if there’s a better-suited equivalent at the same price point.
