From plan-stage to certificate of occupancy: dry-in, tile or shingle install, and code-compliant ventilation for Novato new builds and additions.
New Roof Installation on a Novato Roof
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
Every roof in Novato answers to the same forces: a Mediterranean with North Bay character, 28" annual rainfall, and an aging housing stock dominated by Ranch-style suburban, hillside properties, some horse country estates. The specific local stressors that decide how long a roof actually 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've spent enough time on Novato 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.
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 re-roof or addition we pull the Marin County permit ourselves.
