Frequently Asked Questions

How do you handle roof ridge tile movement, which is common in Los Altos?

Ridge tile movement is a frequent issue here, often caused by our local weather patterns and the settling of older homes. Our approach is to conduct a thorough inspection to determine if tiles can be properly re-secured and sealed or if replacement is necessary for long-term stability. We use materials and methods suited to the specific tile type—whether clay, concrete, or slate—to ensure a repair that blends seamlessly and stands up to local conditions.

What's involved in your roof inspection process?

Our inspection is comprehensive and designed to give you a clear picture of your roof's condition. We examine the entire surface, flashing, vents, gutters, and the attic for signs of wear, damage, or leaks. For historical or specialty roofs like wood shake or slate, we pay special attention to material integrity and fastening. You'll receive a detailed, honest assessment with photos and straightforward recommendations for any repairs or maintenance needed, with no pressure.

Can you repair a wood shake roof, and how do you match the materials?

Yes, repairing and maintaining wood shake roofs is one of our specialties. As a family-owned company with over 30 years of experience, we understand the importance of preserving the original look. We source high-quality cedar shakes that can be carefully blended and aged to match your existing roof. Our repairs focus on replacing damaged shakes, addressing underlying issues, and applying treatments to protect against moisture and sun, extending the life and beauty of your roof.
