Call (415) 410-7917The small work is what keeps a Berkeley roof out of expensive trouble. Gutters that actually move water away from the foundation, skylights that don't seep at the curb, and a documented annual inspection that catches a lifted shingle or a tired boot before it becomes a leak. We clear and repair gutters, reseal and reflash skylights, and hand you a written, photographed inspection report you can actually use.
On Berkeley roofs the conditions that matter most — 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. — are what we plan the work around, not an afterthought.
Roofs in Berkeley answer to a Mediterranean with strong afternoon winds, 25" annual rainfall, mild temps and a housing stock dominated by Craftsman, Arts & Crafts, Victorian, UC campus-area mixed-use. The local stressors that decide how long a roof 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 plan gutters, skylights & roof inspections around them rather than discovering them halfway through the job.

Both. Most Berkeley skylight leaks aren't the glass — they're the curb flashing and seal around it, which is roofing work. We reseal and reflash; if the unit itself is failed we'll tell you.
Often, yes. Re-pitching, resealing joints, and rehanging a sagging section solves most Berkeley gutter problems. We replace only when the metal itself is shot.
