What We Do | San Carlos Roofing & Maintenance Roofing Services
From quick fixes to major projects, San Carlos Roofing & Maintenance has been the roofing contractor San Carlos homeowners call for 20 years. Here's a rundown of what we offer.
Roof Replacement
Your roof replacement includes a full-system install: ice and water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations; synthetic underlayment across the entire deck; aluminum drip edge at rake and eave; starter strip with sealant; architectural shingles with 130+ mph wind rating; and continuous ridge vent for proper attic ventilation. We also install new pipe boots and vent flashing on every penetration.

Quick repairs prevent expensive problems. A $400 flashing fix today prevents $4,000 of interior water damage next year. If a repair makes sense, we recommend it. If your roof is too far gone, we'll be straight about that too. Either way, you get an honest answer and a written quote.

Wind damage and hail damage look different and require different documentation. Our HAAG-trained inspectors know what adjusters look for: granule displacement patterns, fractures in the shingle mat, seal failures, cracked ridge caps. Proper documentation is why our claims get approved.

New construction underlayment per IRC R905 and ASTM D226 (felt) or ASTM D6757 (synthetic). Ice barrier per ASTM D1970 required at eaves in climate zones with average January temperature below 25°F. We install ice and water shield regardless. It's cheap insurance against ice dams and wind-driven rain. Drip edge per IRC R905.2.8.5 on eave and rake edges. Proper starter strip with factory sealant for wind resistance from day one.

Color options in metal roofing are virtually unlimited. Matte black, charcoal, forest green, copper penny, barn red, slate blue. We order custom colors from Sheffield Metals and McElroy Metal with 40-year fade warranties. Your house, your style.

Architectural shingles are what we install on 90% of San Carlos homes. They're thicker, heavier, and more wind-resistant than the old 3-tab flat shingles. They also look dramatically better. Dimensional profiles that mimic wood shake or slate. Standard architectural shingles carry a 30-year warranty. Premium versions go to 50.

EPDM (rubber roofing) has a 50+ year track record as a flat roofing membrane. We install fully adhered EPDM with taped or glued seams over polyiso insulation. It's a great option for San Carlos building owners who want proven performance at a lower cost than TPO or PVC.

Multi-family properties in San Carlos need roofing contractors who understand occupied buildings. We schedule around tenants, contain debris, and minimize noise during reasonable hours. Emergency leak repairs get priority. Water in someone's apartment is an emergency.
Get a Free Quote →Gutter Installation
Gutter sizing matters more than most homeowners realize. We calculate the effective roof area, local rainfall intensity, and the number of downspout outlets needed to handle peak flow. Undersized gutters overflow. Undersized downspouts back up. We size everything to handle San Carlos's worst rain.

Annual inspections catch small problems early. A cracked pipe boot is a $150 repair. A year of water leaking through that crack causes $3,000+ in ceiling, insulation, and drywall damage. We recommend an inspection every 2-3 years for newer roofs, annually for roofs over 15 years.

Emergency protocol for active water intrusion: (1) interior containment. Buckets, plastic sheeting, water extraction if accessible, (2) exterior tarping with 20x30 heavy-duty poly sheeting over damaged area extending minimum 4 feet past damage on all sides, (3) secure with 2x4 nailer boards lag-screwed to the roof deck (not through shingles), (4) secondary tarp overlap for multi-section damage, (5) document with timestamped photos for insurance. Permanent repair scheduled within 48-72 hours once materials are sourced.
Get a Free Quote →Skylight Installation
We install three types of skylights: fixed (sealed, just for light), vented (opens for airflow. Great for bathrooms and kitchens), and tubular (flexible tube through the attic. For tight spaces where a standard skylight won't fit). Each serves a different purpose.
