Frequently Asked Bay Area Roofing Questions

Bay Area homeowners and property managers have unique roofing challenges - from historic district requirements to complex HOA approvals. Our licensed contractors have answered thousands of questions over 45+ years serving the region.

Find answers to common concerns about permits, timelines, materials, and what to expect when working with a professional roofing contractor. Can't find your answer? Contact our licensed team for personalized guidance on your specific Bay Area roofing project.

How can I verify a roofing contractor is properly licensed?

Look up any California contractor using their license number on the Contractors State License Board website (cslb.ca.gov). Central Bay Roofing holds License #435272 with both Class B (general building) and C-39 (roofing) classifications. We're also bonded and insured with current coverage you can verify. Never work with unlicensed contractors - it voids your insurance coverage and leaves you liable for accidents.

What should be included in a roofing estimate?

A professional estimate should detail material specifications, labor breakdown, timeline, permit requirements, and cleanup procedures. We provide written estimates within 48 hours that include city-specific permit costs and HOA requirements if applicable. Avoid contractors who provide verbal estimates or demand immediate decisions. Our estimates remain valid for 30 days and include warranty details.

Who handles building permits for roofing work?

Licensed contractors should handle all permit applications and inspections. Bay Area cities have different requirements - San Francisco differs from Oakland, Berkeley, or San Jose. We coordinate permits across all jurisdictions and schedule required inspections. The permit cost is included in our written estimates. DIY permits often result in failed inspections and costly corrections.

What warranty should I expect on roofing work?

Reputable contractors provide written warranties separate from manufacturer coverage. Our workmanship warranty covers installation defects and is backed by our 45+ year track record and proper licensing/bonding. Material warranties come directly from manufacturers and vary by product. Always get warranty details in writing before work begins.

How do you handle insurance claims for roof damage?

We work directly with insurance adjusters to document damage and provide detailed repair estimates. Our team photographs damage, measures affected areas, and provides material specifications that meet insurance requirements. We handle the paperwork but you maintain control of your claim. Never sign over insurance proceeds to contractors before work completion.

What happens if problems arise during the project?

Communication is key. We provide daily progress updates and immediately notify you of any unexpected issues like hidden damage or structural concerns. Changes require written approval with cost adjustments detailed in advance. Our project managers coordinate with you to minimize disruptions and keep work on schedule.

Do you provide references from recent projects?

We maintain current references from recent Bay Area projects and can provide contact information for similar work in your area. Check our Google reviews and Better Business Bureau record. Licensed contractors should have verifiable local project history and satisfied customers willing to discuss their experience.

How long will my roofing project take?

Project timelines depend on scope, materials, permits, and weather. Most residential re-roofs take 2-5 days once materials arrive and permits are approved. We provide written timelines in our estimates and update you on any delays. Commercial projects and historic homes may require additional time for inspections and specialized materials.
