Single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and small-commercial roofs across Berkeley — same crew, same standards, scaled to the building.
From a single-storey Berkeley bungalow to a flat-roof office or a multi-unit building, the work plan scales but the install discipline doesn't. Residential work is pitched shingle, tile, and steep-slope detailing; commercial and multifamily lean toward low-slope membranes, drainage, and minimizing tenant disruption. The same crew that respects a homeowner's landscaping respects a property manager's tenants and parking — and documents the job either way.
Commercial and multifamily roofs in Berkeley's fire-prone zones carry the same Class A obligation as homes — we spec membranes and assemblies that meet it without compromising low-slope drainage.
Every roof in Berkeley answers to the same forces: a Mediterranean with strong afternoon winds, 25" annual rainfall, mild temps, and an aging housing stock dominated by Craftsman, Arts & Crafts, Victorian, UC campus-area mixed-use. The specific local stressors that decide how long a roof actually lasts here: Berkeley Hills are a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone — Class A roofing is mandatory. Afternoon winds from the bay can lift improperly fastened shingles. Significant earthquake activity means proper roof deck fastening is essential. We've spent enough time on Berkeley roofs to know which failure modes show up first, and we plan commercial & residential roofing around them rather than discovering them halfway through the job.
Yes — small-commercial and multifamily Berkeley buildings are a regular part of our work, typically low-slope TPO, EPDM, or modified-bitumen systems with proper drainage. We scope around your tenants and operating hours.
We can. The key on an occupied Berkeley building is sequencing and communication — staging the work so tenants keep access and parking, and keeping the building watertight every night.
Regularly. We provide the documentation, scope, and scheduling Alameda County HOAs and property managers need to approve and coordinate the work.
