This array of licensing not only illustrates the breadth of our company's experience, but we can also build or install any type of roof required for your project, and are also flexible enough to offer our contracting expertise to any other part of your building project as general contractors. Imagine being able to rely on the same contractor to re-roof, interior-insulate and build a new deck for your home!

We are not assembly-line roofing installers. Each project we take on is treated properly as a custom roofing assignment, installed with skill and great attention to detail. A lot can go wrong if a project is not properly installed by experienced builders. Our commitment to you is to build total reliability into your roofing system and project.

Look at some of the roofs we've installed.

Whether you own a home, townhouse, or any variety of residential building, or whether you need service or installation, our goal is to provide you with the very best.


Same-day “24-Hour” Emergency Service

When it rains it pours, and when it's pouring in on your home or business, time is the enemy. You have a housing or business emergency, but don't think police or fire departments would be very helpful... The first step is to call us now at 888-763-ROOF or 707-763-5475. We can have a crew out to put a temporary stop to the leak the same day, often within an hour. The best way to avoid roof problems which result in emergency repair is to implement a Wedge Roofing, Inc. Annual Maintenance Service Program. For information on our proactive maintenance programs, please contact us.

The next step is to protect the interior of your home or business.

  • Find something to collect the incoming water. A Pan, bucket or trashcan will work. Remember to empty them periodically.
  • When possible remove items such as papers, computers, furniture etc. from the area. Large items that cannot be moved should be covered in plastic. A plastic trash bag cut open or even a shower curtain will work.
  • If you notice your ceiling starting to bubble, take a sharp item (screw driver or even a pencil will work) and poke a hole into it to release the water, this will prevent the ceiling from becoming worse or even falling.
The final step is to take a deep breath and relax. You have contacted a 34-year-old business with experience and integrity, we will stop the leak.

Wedge Roofing's dedicated repair and maintenance division, established in 1997, has performed an average of 1000 roof repairs a year. That adds up to thousands of successful roof repairs over more than a decade-- We know leaks.

Catalogue of Roofing Systems -Guaranteed Class A fire-rated-

BUILT-UP-ROOFING
Commonly referred to as; "Tar & Gravel" or "Hot Tar". A roof system with a demonstrated track record of 75 -100 years, which still accounts for over half of the flat roofing systems installed in California. A tough, durable system with multiple redundant layers of waterproofing material, available in a variety of finishes.

CLAY TILE
Clay is considered an upgrade over concrete tile. A special underlayment is required. Clay can be offered in one-piece and two-piece styles.

COMPOSITION SHINGLES
Composition is far and away the most popular and widely-used residential roofing material. This system has a wide spectrum of life-expectancies from 25, 30, 40, 50-year or life-time guaranteed effective use. In addition, we offer many high-end 50-year composition shingle systems, and at the apex: elegant lifetime systems. 25-year shingles are used on most starter-homes and have little or no texture. 30, 40, and 50-year shingles have a unique dimensional or architectural look with good curb appeal. The lifetime design shingles are considered specialty shingles and can be tailored specially to suit the ambiance of your home.

CONCRETE TILE
This type is considered a "lifetime" roof and is typically used on upper-end homes. As their weight is an issue, a home must be engineered, or otherwise evaluated, to handle 1,000 pounds per 'square' (A square is a roofing term for a 100 square-foot area).

DECK COATINGS
Attractive, customizable, durable and trafficable fluid applied deck coatings. Available in GACO, Metacrylics and most other major coating manufacturers.

GREEN ROOFING
Wedge Roofing is a 'Build It Green' certified contractor, we offer Complete Green LEED approved, Title 24 compliant, green roofing systems. Including roof-top gardens to offset carbon footprint, installation of solar-hybrid roofing systems for energy savings and our use of recycled materials. Many of our roofing systems are considered energy-saving and green and can secure your home LEED points.

METAL ROOFING
There are two styles of metal roofing to choose from. Screwdown (with exposed fasteners) is used on most standard homes. These fasteners generally require normal maintenance every seven to ten years. Standing seam is a metal roof system which uses concealed fasteners, this is considered an upgrade and is the longer-lasting of the two.

(MODIFIED) FLAT ROOFING
Modified roofing is made by all shingle manufacturers. It can be installed by many methods including "hot mopped," or even "self-adhering" so no heat source is required. Modified roofing is used on most commercial applications as well as patio roofs and in the waterproofing of walk-on decks.

SINGLE-PLY ROOFING
Single-ply roofing is available in Carlisle, Duro-Last or other major manufacturers, which do not require a flame for installation or a kettle. These systems typically qualify for up to 20 year warranties.

SLATE ROOFING
Similar to concrete tile, slate is a higher-end, very heavy material. In order to install slate roofing, a house must be engineered to support over 1,000 pounds per square.

SPRAY POLYURETHANE FOAM
One of our most popular systems. Not only is this a durable and long-lasting system, it is also Green Home and Energy-savings compliant. Spray polyurethane foam, commonly referred to as 'SPF', is a spray-applied insulating foam that is sprayed-on in liquid form, but quickly expands many times its original size. High density roofing foam is resistant to foot traffic and "water within" moments. SPF has an extremely high insulating value of R-6.0 per inch. The excellent insulation efficiency of SPF can reduce heating and cooling usage dramatically. SPF insulates and eliminates thermal bridging (as it requires no fasteners or gaps in decking) while providing a roofing system that can be expected to outlast you and the house, as long as it is simply and cheaply re-coated with elastomeric every 10-15 years.

SYNTHETIC SLATE
This system is not as pricey as real slate and also not as heavy. No special bracing is required as most homes can handle the weight.

WOOD SHINGLES
Two styles of wood shingles are available. Wood shingles are the smaller of the styles (18") and installed over open lathe at a 5" exposure. Wood shakes are 24" installed using #30 felt at a 10" exposure. Most city codes require that any installed wood shingles be fire treated.


Energy-Saving COOL Roof Products

Energy Star Products And Your Existing Roof - It may surprise you to learn that 90% of the roofs in California reach summer peak temperatures of 150° to 190°. Excessive roof temperatures contribute to many common structural and roofing problems.

Energy Star Questions

Will installing an Energy Star compliant roof product save me money no matter where I live?
Homes and buildings located in our hot and sunny climate will realize the greatest energy and cost savings. Those living in our geographic area use more air conditioning and will see greater reductions in their energy bills than people living elsewhere in the country.

Will I save money by using reflective roof products if my home or building already has a high level of insulation?

An energy-efficient building has both reflective roof surfaces and adequate insulation. You will notice greater savings on your cooling bills if you install Energy Star labeled roof products. For more information on how to determine the optimum savings, consult Gary Harvey, certified Energy Star Consultant at Wedge Roofing.

Can I expect the same level of savings over the entire lifetime of my roof?

Due to normal wear and tear, some degradation of roof reflectivity can be expected. However, this degradation can be minimized or eliminated with a simple roof maintenance program. Implementing a maintenance program minimizes degradation and maximizes energy savings. Ask your estimator about this maintenance program option.
