Marin County Roofing Contractor

On the Shores of San Francisco Bay

Selecting a roof for a home on the shores of the San Francisco Bay, such as in Tiburon, Belvedere or Sausalito, requires specific considerations due to salt-water exposure and the possibility of corrosion. 

Hot Summers

In the warmest areas of Marin, such as San Rafael, Lucas Valley, Nicasio, and Novato the benefits of a cool roofing system are tremendous in lowering energy costs and keeping the home comfortable during the summer. 

Redwood Groves and Oak Trees

Proper roof selection and an emphasis on maintenance are necessary for the shady neighborhoods of Marin, such as Mill Valley, Larkspur, and Fairfax where roofs are vulnerable to the growth of litchen, mold, and moss under a canopy of redwood trees or oaks.

Fire-Safe Roofing

It is important to note that many Marin homes and buildings are in designated “Wildfire Urban Interface” areas. These neighborhoods are at increased risk of danger from major wildfires and are subject to more restrictive city and county regulations for roofing options. In these areas, the selection of a Class-A fire rated roofing system is an important safety decision. Please visit Fire Safe Marin for vital information. 

What are the Most Popular Roofing Systems in Marin County?

Spray Foam Roofs

Throughout Marin County, Spray Foam is the top choice for flat and low-sloped roofs. Homeowners and businesses appreciate the sleek look of a spray foam roof and the lower energy costs resulting from the installation of this highly-insulated, reflective roofing system featuring a low VOC coating.

Shingle Roofs

Ultra-dimensional architectural shingles are the top roofing system for steep slope roofs in Marin.  The most popular brands are GAF’s Timberline, Camelot, Glenwood, Grand Canyon, and Woodland designer shingles; CertainTeed’s Presidential and Landmark luxury shingles; Owens Corning’s Berkshire and Woodcrest extra-large shingles; and premium shingles from IKO and Malarkey.

Tile Roofs

From Novato to Sausalito, clay tile roofs are an integral link to Marin County’s architectural history. Popular on newer homes are concrete tile roofs. Both are long-lasting, sustainable roofing systems. Tile Roofing brands include Boral, Eagle, Ludowici and MCA Roof Tiles

Metal Roofs

Class-A Fire Rated Metal roofs are adaptable to all types of Marin County architecture, from Cape Cod houses in Marinwood to ultra-modern homes in Mill Valley. Standing Seam Metal Roofing Systems by ASC Metal, Metal Sales, and Custom-Bilt Metal are popular choices in Marin, as well as Metal Roof tiles manufactured by Gerard/Boral and Decra.

What are the newest trends for roofing in Marin County?

Mixed Material Roofing

The newest roofing trend is a combination of both standing seam metal panels and high-definition shingles installed on separate pitched roof sections. Combination roofs are also seen on Eichler homes in San Rafael and Lucas Valley with spray foam roof installed on the flat roof sections, and shingles on the steep sections.  

Slate Roofs

Slate roofs have become increasingly popular in Marin County as the beauty of a slate roof is undeniable, and with a lifespan reaching the century mark, there is no better roof for sustainability.  Genuine slate roofing brands include American Slate, Evergreen Slate, and GAF TruSlate.
