New construction and remodel installs across Los Gatos — we coordinate with your GC, hit framing inspection windows, and finish to architect-spec.
New-construction and addition roofing in Los Gatos 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 Santa Clara County final without a punch list.
New construction in Los Gatos'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.
Every roof in Los Gatos answers to the same forces: a Mediterranean with mountain influence, 25" annual rainfall, cooler hillside temps, and an aging housing stock dominated by Spanish Colonial, Tudor, Mediterranean luxury estates, hillside contemporaries. The specific local stressors that decide how long a roof actually lasts here: Higher rainfall and dense tree canopy create significant moss and debris accumulation. Hillside properties face fire risk — Class A materials are essential. Steep pitches require specialized safety equipment. We've spent enough time on Los Gatos roofs to know which failure modes show up first, and we plan new roof installation around them rather than discovering them halfway through the job.
That's how we prefer to work on Los Gatos 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.
Yes — additions, ADUs, and dormers are common Los Gatos jobs. The tricky part is tying the new roof into the existing one watertight; that transition is where we spend the most care.
On a ground-up build the GC usually holds the master permit and we work under it, owning the roofing inspection. On a standalone re-roof or addition we pull the Santa Clara County permit ourselves.
