Lovett & Lovett Roofing | Roofing Services in Oakland, CA 94601

The intense sun in Oakland can prematurely age roofing materials, causing shingles to become brittle, crack, or lose their protective granules. This accelerates wear and can lead to leaks. At Lovett & Lovett, our inspections specifically check for sun damage. For repair or replacement, we recommend and install materials rated for high UV resistance that are better suited to our local climate, helping your new roof last longer against the elements.

Our inspection is thorough and stems from 130 years of local experience. We don't just look for obvious problems; we methodically examine the entire roofing system—shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, and the underlying structure. We're particularly adept at tracing hard-to-find leaks, a skill that has been our trademark for generations. The goal is to assess the roof's current condition, identify any vulnerabilities from aging or weather, and provide you with a clear, honest recommendation for maintenance or repair.

As Oakland's oldest roofing specialist, we frequently work with local solar companies. We coordinate the project timeline directly with your solar installer to ensure a seamless process. This involves careful planning for the temporary removal and reinstallation of panels, inspecting and preparing the roof deck, and installing new flashing and mounts that integrate perfectly with your new roof system. Our experience means the job is done efficiently, protecting your investment in both a new roof and solar energy.
