Homes in Petaluma: what pros run into
SMART trains stop at downtown Petaluma. Morning fog is common in summer.
Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park is on the east side. Roofs here range from asphalt shingles to flat sections over additions, and the joints between them are common leak points. The Petaluma River is a tidal slough that runs through downtown.
Fire-resistant roofing and ember-resistant vents are required for new work in many high fire-risk areas. Downtown has one of the largest groups of iron-front buildings in the West.

Permits, licenses and your utility
In California, licenses for roofing contractors come from the Contractors State License Board. A full reroof usually needs a permit from the City of Petaluma Building Division, and the roofer normally pulls it and schedules any inspection.
Permit questions go to the City of Petaluma Building Division. Petaluma gets most of its water from Sonoma Water's Russian River supply, plus local wells. The east side was built out mostly from the 1970s on. Petaluma was once called the Egg Basket of the World.
What to have ready
Take photos of any leaks, stains or damage from inside and from the ground.

Questions from Petaluma residents
Is it safe to go on my roof?
It's better to let a pro handle it. Falls are a serious risk. Ladders and wet or steep surfaces cause serious injuries every year, and a pair of binoculars from the ground is a safer first look.
Do you cover Cader Farms and West Petaluma?
We look for independent pros across Petaluma, including Cader Farms, Sonoma Mountain, East Petaluma and McNear, and ZIP codes . If nobody's available, we'll tell you. If you're close to a ZIP code line, mention your cross street when you call.
How long does a shingle roof last?
Typically 20 to 30 years depending on the product and climate. Heat, sun, wind and the quality of the original install all affect how long a roof actually lasts.
What makes Petaluma a little different for roof repair?
Many older homes have raised wood foundations. West Petaluma has many Victorian homes. Low-lying areas near the river have flooded in big storms. Share what you know about your home when you book.
Should I get a roof inspection after a storm?
It's a good idea after high winds or hail, even if you don't see damage from the ground. Small problems are easier to fix early.
Call or book 7 days a week.
