Roofing help in San Lorenzo
Tradition Roofing Company works out of San Leandro, and San Lorenzo sits right next door. We have roofed East Bay homes since 2007. San Lorenzo grew fast after World War II. Starting in 1944, the David D. Bohannon Company built San Lorenzo Village, one of the country's first planned communities. Whole streets of homes went up together. That postwar tract story still shapes every roof in town today.
Most homes here are old. About 73 percent of San Lorenzo's homes were built before 1960, and the median home dates to 1955. That puts a typical roof on a house near 70 years old. Two in three homes went up in the 1940s and 1950s, when the tract was built. Roofs that age are past their life, so a full roof replacement is usually the honest call.
About 78 percent of San Lorenzo homes are single-family detached houses. Block after block shares the same low, wide pitched roof from the tract days. A roofer who knows this layout can size and quote a job fast. We start with a careful roof inspection to check the deck and any old layers. On a 70-year-old roof, that first look tells us what the house really needs.
San Lorenzo is flat and sits low near the bay, so roofs take damp, wet winters year after year. Old flashing and worn underlayment let that moisture sneak in. Because the town is unincorporated, the roofing permit comes from Alameda County, not a city hall. We pull that county permit for you. On any flat or low-slope section, California's Title 24 code asks for a cool, reflective roof, and we install one.
We know these Bohannon tract homes street by street, and we build every roof to last through the next round of bay winters. Tradition Roofing Company is licensed and insured, and every estimate is free. For a free estimate on your San Lorenzo roof, call (510) 914-0348.

Why do so many San Lorenzo Village homes need a new roof?
About two in three San Lorenzo homes were built in the 1940s and 1950s, when the Bohannon Company built San Lorenzo Village. The median home dates to 1955, so a typical roof sits on a house near 70 years old. A roof that old has usually been patched or layered before and is past its life. On these tract homes, a full replacement is often the honest fix.
Who issues roofing permits in San Lorenzo?
San Lorenzo is an unincorporated community, so it has no city permit desk. The roofing permit comes from Alameda County, which runs an online reroof permit for its unincorporated areas, including San Lorenzo. Tradition Roofing Company pulls the county permit for you, so your new roof is legal and inspected from the start.
Should I get my original San Lorenzo roof inspected before it fails?
Yes. Many San Lorenzo roofs sit on 1940s and 1950s tract houses that are near 70 years old. A roof inspection checks the deck, the flashing, and any old layers before a leak soaks the wood. On a house this age, that first look shows whether a repair will hold or a full replacement is the smarter spend.
Does a flat roof in San Lorenzo need a special surface?
Yes, on flat and low-slope roofs. When you replace a flat or low-slope roof in California, the state's Title 24 energy code asks for a cool roof, which is a light-colored, reflective surface. It helps the reroof pass Alameda County inspection. We install a Title 24 cool roof on flat sections so your San Lorenzo home meets the code.
