How we handle new roof installation in Berkeley

New-construction and addition roofing in Berkeley lives or dies on coordination. We work to the architect's spec and the GC's schedule — dry-in at the right framing stage so the trades behind us aren't waiting, then the finished system once the building is ready. That means hitting framing-inspection windows, getting ventilation and flashing details right the first time, and leaving a roof that passes Alameda County final without a punch list.

New construction in Berkeley's fire-exposed areas is built Class A from the start — fire-rated assembly, ember-resistant detailing, and code-compliant venting designed in, not retrofitted.

  • Coordinated with your GC and build schedule
  • Dry-in timed to the framing inspection
  • Architect-spec system and flashing details
  • Code-compliant ventilation from day one

What Berkeley roofs are up against

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 new roof installation around them rather than discovering them halfway through the job.

New Roof Installation in Berkeley: FAQs

Can you coordinate with my general contractor in Berkeley?

That's how we prefer to work on Berkeley new builds — we slot into your GC's schedule, dry-in at the right stage, and come back for the finished roof so the project keeps moving.

Do you install roofs on additions and ADUs in Berkeley?

Yes — additions, ADUs, and dormers are common Berkeley jobs. The tricky part is tying the new roof into the existing one watertight; that transition is where we spend the most care.

Who handles the permit on new construction?

On a ground-up build the GC usually holds the master permit and we work under it, owning the roofing inspection. On a standalone reroof or addition we pull the permit with the local building department ourselves.
