Burlingame neighborhoods we roof

Roofs change from one part of Burlingame to the next. Here is what we usually find on the houses in each area.

Burlingame Park & Burlingame Terrace

Early-1900s homes under big trees, with steep roofs, dormers and chimneys that need real flashing work.

Easton Addition

Craftsman, Tudor and Spanish revival houses, some with clay tile or slate-look roofing worth preserving.

Ray Park & Lyon-Hoag

1920s–50s homes on smaller lots, often with an earlier re-cover that should come off at replacement.

Mills Estate

Mid-century homes west of 280 with low-pitch roofs, more wind exposure and long eaves.

Burlingame Hills

Unincorporated hillside homes under heavy tree cover, where debris and moss are constant.

Downtown & Burlingame Ave

Apartment buildings and mixed-use roofs, many flat with parapets and roof drains.

Burlingame homes and the roofs on them

  • Craftsman, Tudor and Spanish revival homes where original details (tile, steep valleys, dormers) need to be matched, not simplified.
  • Heavy tree cover across much of the city, so gutters, valleys and roof edges carry a lot of debris.
  • Mid-century hill homes with low slopes where good underlayment matters more than the shingle.
  • Flat-roof apartment buildings near downtown and along El Camino.

What wears out roofs in Burlingame

Trees and moss

Eucalyptus, oak and redwood litter clogs gutters and holds moisture. North slopes grow moss that lifts shingles.

Bay wind

Homes nearer the bay and the airport side get steady wind that works on ridge caps and loose tabs.

Fog and shade

Damp mornings and shaded roofs slow drying, which shortens the life of older wood decking.

Winter storms

Older flashing around chimneys and dormers is where most storm leaks show up.

Burlingame roofing permits

Reroofs in Burlingame are permitted through the city's Building Division (Burlingame Hills is unincorporated and goes through San Mateo County). We pull the reroof permit with the city, book the inspections and keep you out of the paperwork.

  • Burlingame's Building Division handles most permit business electronically, and new submittals generally go in by email rather than at the counter. We prepare and submit the reroof application as the contractor.
  • Burlingame Hills is unincorporated, so a reroof there is permitted by San Mateo County instead of the city.
  • Where a parcel falls inside a mapped fire hazard severity zone, state wildfire rules generally require a Class A roof assembly; we check the map for each address.
  • Title 24 may require a cool-roof rated product on some reroofs depending on slope, scope and climate zone. If it applies, it is in the estimate.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Burlingame?

Yes. A reroof needs a building permit from the City of Burlingame, or from San Mateo County in unincorporated Burlingame Hills. We file it, book the inspector and list the permit in the written estimate.

Can you keep the look of my older Burlingame home?

Yes. On Craftsman, Tudor and Spanish revival houses we match the roof profile and color, keep the original lines at dormers and eaves, and salvage sound tile where possible.

Do you clean and repair gutters too?

Yes. With the tree cover in Burlingame, clogged gutters and valleys cause a lot of the leaks we see, so we clean, repair and install gutters as well.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

If the roof is fairly young and the problem is local, a repair usually makes sense. If it is near the end of its life or leaking in several places, replacement is the better money. We put the recommendation in writing after the inspection.

Are you licensed to work in Burlingame?

Yes. Our C-39 roofing license (CSLB #1148511) is issued by the state and covers Burlingame and unincorporated Burlingame Hills. We carry bonding and insurance, and you can confirm both on the CSLB website.

How do I choose a roofer in Burlingame?

Start with a CSLB license check and proof of insurance, then compare written, itemized estimates. On an older Burlingame Park or Easton Addition home, ask how the roofer will flash chimneys and dormers and whether sound tile will be saved. Ask who pulls the permit and whether gutters are included.
