ROI at Resale
San Francisco isn't one weather zone—it's five. A roof in **The Sunset** faces constant salt fog and horizontal rain, while a home in **The Mission** deals with high UV exposure and urban heat. Roof Express custom-engineers every installation for its specific neighborhood requirements.
Copper-infused shingles (StainGuard Plus™) to prevent fog-induced moss & algae growth.
6-nail precision fastening pattern for 130 MPH wind-uplift certification.
Our 6-Step Precision Installation Standard
We remove all old layers down to the wood deck. In San Francisco, we often find "hidden" rot under 50-year-old shingles that only a clean tear-off can reveal.
We replace compromised sheathing or ship-lap with CDX grade plywood, ensuring a structural foundation that meets 2026 seismic building codes.
Installation of self-adhering waterproofing membranes in valleys, chimneys, and all critical transition points—the #1 source of Bay Area roof failures.
System-match installation of GAF or CertainTeed shingles using specialized fastener patterns for maximum warranty compliance.
Installation of Ridge Vents and Soffit Intake systems to create a "Lungs" effect, preventing attic mold and extending the life of your new shingles.
