How we handle new roof installation in Novato

New-construction and addition roofing in Novato 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 Marin County final without a punch list.

New construction in Novato'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 Novato roofs are up against

Roofs in Novato answer to a Mediterranean with North Bay character, 28" annual rainfall and a housing stock dominated by Ranch-style suburban, hillside properties, some horse country estates. The local stressors that decide how long a roof lasts here: Higher annual rainfall than most Bay Area cities. Hillside properties have steeper pitches and greater exposure to wind and rain. Fire risk in wildland-adjacent areas. We plan new roof installation around them rather than discovering them halfway through the job.

New Roof Installation in Novato: FAQs

Can you coordinate with my general contractor in Novato?

That's how we prefer to work on Novato 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 Novato?

Yes — additions, ADUs, and dormers are common Novato 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.
