Local rules
In California, licenses for roofing contractors come from the Contractors State License Board. Ask for a written estimate that lists materials, tear-off, disposal and how any rotten decking will be handled.
EBMUD supplies water from the Mokelumne River watershed. The Kaiser shipyards built 747 ships here during World War II. Wastewater from homes here goes to the West County Wastewater District or the Richmond Municipal Sewer District, depending on the area, and permits run through the City of Richmond Building Services Division. Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park is in Marina Bay.
The local picture in Richmond
The Hayward Fault runs along the east side. Many older homes have raised foundations.
Point Richmond has older homes on hillsides. Additions often have a lower-pitch roof tied into the original one, and that seam is a common spot for leaks. Ferries run from Richmond to San Francisco.
Fire-resistant roofing and ember-resistant vents are required for new work in many high fire-risk areas. Atchison Village was built as wartime housing.

Quick answers
Do you cover Marina Bay and May Valley?

What is flashing?
Metal or other material that seals joints around chimneys, vents and walls. Failed flashing is a common leak source. Rusty, bent or lifted flashing is a common reason for leaks around chimneys and skylights.
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 Richmond a little different for roof repair?
Marina Bay was redeveloped from shipyard land in the 1980s and 1990s. Richmond has 32 miles of shoreline, more than any other Bay Area city. The Richmond-San Rafael Bridge starts here. Share what you know about your home when you book.
Does roof repair in Richmond need a permit?
Some jobs do and many small repairs don't. In Richmond, permits are handled by the City of Richmond Building Services Division, and the roofing contractor can tell you if your job needs one.
