What wears out roofs in Lafayette
Wildfire
Large parts of Lafayette are mapped fire hazard zones, so Class A assemblies, ember-resistant vents and clean gutters are the baseline.
Inland heat
Hot summers age roofing fast, and attic ventilation matters as much as the shingle.
Oak debris
Leaves and acorns fill gutters and valleys every fall.

Our own crew on every job, the permit pulled, and a written warranty on the workmanship.
Why Lafayette homeowners choose Alpha Eagle Roofing
Wooded hillsides, old shake conversions and fire-zone rules shape most roof decisions in Lafayette. Here is what we bring.
A state C-39 license
License #1148511 with the CSLB, bonded and insured, so you can verify us before the first visit.
Fire rating checked before the quote
We confirm whether your parcel needs Class A or Class B roofing and price the assembly, vents and gutters accordingly.
Free inspection, written estimate
Each part of the job, including any new decking over old skip-sheathing, gets its own line on the estimate.
A photo log of the work
We record each stage in CompanyCam, so the fire-rated layers and flashing details are on file.
Air Force veteran at the helm
Kooshan Alam, a U.S. Air Force veteran, owns the company.
Emergency line, day or night
If a limb comes through the roof, call the 24/7 emergency line; other questions get a same-business-day reply, Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm.

Lafayette roofing permits
Reroofs in Lafayette are permitted through the city's Building Division, and fire-zone parcels need a Class A assembly. We pull the reroof permit with the city and handle the inspections.
- A reroof generally needs a permit before work begins; we file it and schedule the inspections.
- Contra Costa County's re-roof handout notes that Lafayette has specific areas requiring Class A or Class B roofs and tells owners to check with the city, so we confirm the requirement for each parcel.
- In a mapped Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, state wildfire rules generally require a Class A roof assembly with ember-resistant details.
- Title 24 may require a cool-roof rated product on some Lafayette reroofs, depending on slope, scope and climate zone.

Frequently asked questions
Does my Lafayette home need a Class A roof?
If your parcel is in a mapped Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, a reroof has to be a Class A assembly. We check the parcel before writing the estimate.
Do I need a permit to reroof in Lafayette?
Yes. We pull the reroof permit with the city, schedule the inspections and include it in the written estimate.
What should I do about the old shake roof?
Untreated wood shake is a fire risk in the hills. We replace it with a Class A shingle or tile assembly and deck over any skip-sheathing.
How do you handle steep hillside access?
We plan staging and debris removal before the job starts and protect landscaping and driveways throughout.
Are you licensed to work in Lafayette?
Yes. Alpha Eagle Roofing's C-39 roofing license, CSLB #1148511, is a California state license and covers Lafayette. The company is also bonded and insured.
How do I choose a roofer in Lafayette?
Check the license and insurance on the CSLB website, then compare written, itemized estimates. Ask whether the roofer has confirmed the fire-rating requirement for your parcel, what will replace any old shake, and how they plan to stage materials on a steep, wooded lot.
