What people ask us
How do I know if my roof needs replacing?
Widespread curling, missing shingles, granule loss and repeated leaks are signs. An inspection can tell you more. Leaks that keep returning in different spots are another clue that patching may no longer be enough.
What causes roof leaks?
Worn flashing around chimneys, vents and skylights is a common cause, along with missing shingles and clogged gutters.
Is my neighborhood in Sunnyvale covered?
Most likely. We cover Lakewood, Birdland, Raynor and Las Palmas and other parts of Sunnyvale, across 94085, 94086, 94087, 94089. If nobody's available, we'll tell you, and you can call back later or pick another day that works better.
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.
Who issues permits for roof repair work in Sunnyvale?
Permits in Sunnyvale go through the City of Sunnyvale Community Development Department. Not every repair needs one, so ask the roofing contractor whether yours does when you get the quote.
If the problem changes before the visit, mention it when the pro reaches out.
