About North Bay Roofing CO

We started North Bay Roofing CO because we saw too many homeowners get burned by roofing companies that promised the world and then disappeared. We wanted to be the contractor we'd want on our own roof—straightforward, knowledgeable, and always showing up when we said we would.

Our crew lives and works in Marin County. We know the foggy mornings that leave a film of moisture on your shingles, the heavy winter rains that pound Novato Creek, and the hot, dry summers that put every roof to the test. That's why we build every roof to handle the specifics of this climate, not some generic national standard.

When we take on a roof replacement, we start with a full tear-off. No overlays that hide problems. We inspect the decking for rot and decay, replace any compromised wood, and then install a self-adhered underlayment that seals around every penetration. We hand-nail each shingle with ring-shank nails, lay a proper starter course at the eaves, and stagger the field courses so water has no straight path to seep in. It's the kind of detail work that doesn't show in photos but shows up in how long your roof lasts.

We also handle roof repair, storm damage repair, and emergency roof repair. If a winter storm peels back a section of shingles, we'll get a tarp on it fast and then come back to make the repair right. We work with your insurance company, too—we'll help you document the damage, meet the adjuster, and make sure the scope of work covers everything, from the missing shingles to the flashings that got lifted.

Commercial roofing is a different beast. Flat roofs, metal panels, and built-up systems all have their own failure modes. We've repaired roofs where water ponded for weeks and wicking through the insulation, and we've replaced roofs where the membrane had delaminated from the substrate. We bring the same attention to detail to a warehouse roof that we do to a family home.

We also install gutters, skylights, and roof coatings. Gutters that are undersized or clogged can back water up under your shingles, and that's how rot starts. We size them for the roof area and the rainfall we actually get here. Skylights let in light, but only if they're flashed right—we use the right flashings and sealants so they don't leak. And a good roof coating can extend the life of an aging roof by years, reflecting heat and protecting the surface from UV damage.

We believe in honest communication. That starts with a free estimate that's detailed enough to show you exactly what we'll do and what it costs. We'll tell you if a repair is the smart move or if a replacement will save you money in the long run. We'll show you photos of what we find, explain the options in plain language, and never push you into a project you don't need.

We're proud to serve the neighborhoods of Ignacio, Black Point, Bel Marin Keys, Hamilton, and Pacheco Valle. We've worked on homes with views of Mount Burdell, properties along Stafford Lake, and places near Olompali State Historic Park. Wherever you are in Novato, we're close by.

If your roof is showing signs of end-of-life wear—granule loss in the gutters, shingles that curl or buckle, or a sag in the roofline—give us a call. We'll come out, take a look, and give you a straight answer. That's the way we do business.
