Call (415) 410-7917New-construction and addition roofing in Saratoga 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 Saratoga'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.
Hillside custom homes in mapped fire hazard areas, with complex roof lines and steep access.
Mid-century and custom homes with low-pitch roofs and long eaves.
Hillside parts of Saratoga are mapped fire hazard zones. Class A assemblies, ember-resistant vents and clean gutters are the basics here.
Reroofs in Saratoga are permitted through the city's Building Division. In mapped fire hazard zones the roof assembly has to meet Class A requirements, and we spec to that from the start. We pull the reroof permit with the city and handle the inspections.
Permit office: City of Saratoga Building Division. How we handle permits across the Bay Area: roofing permits explained.
If the property is in a mapped Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which covers much of the hillside area, a reroof has to be a Class A assembly. We check the parcel and spec the roof, vents and edges accordingly.
Both can work. Tile lasts longer but is heavy and needs a structure built for it. A Class A architectural shingle is lighter and lower cost. We recommend a system in writing after the inspection.
That's how we prefer to work on Saratoga 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 Saratoga 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 reroof or addition we pull the permit with the local building department ourselves.
