What kinds of roofs do we work on?
We cover every roof a home or small business needs. We install and repair asphalt shingle, tile, flat and low-slope, and metal roofs. Shingle is the most common and fits most budgets. Tile lasts for decades. Metal sheds rain fast and stands up to wind. Flat and low-slope roofs suit many light commercial buildings. We also install seamless gutters and downspouts, so water leaves your roof the right way. One local team handles all of it.
How does East Bay weather affect your roof?
Our climate is easy on people but hard on roofs. The marine layer brings damp air and morning fog off the bay. That moisture feeds moss and algae on north-facing slopes and shortens a roof's life. Homes near the hills sit in fire zones, where the state calls for a Class A fire-rated roof. And when you reroof in California, Title 24 asks for a cool roof that reflects heat and helps cut energy bills. We build for all of it. We pick materials rated for our weather and install them with proper flashing and venting, so water rolls off and the roof breathes.
What happens when you hire us?
We keep it simple and honest. First we inspect your roof and show you what we find. Then we give you a clear written estimate, for free, with no pressure. You decide. When you are ready, we do the work with the right materials and clean up when we finish. If a repair will hold your roof for years, we will tell you that instead of selling you a new roof you do not need. Call (510) 914-0348 to set up your free estimate.
Why does local experience since 2007 matter?
Roofing the East Bay is its own skill. The same roof that lasts inland can fail faster near the bay, where fog and salt air wear at seams and fasteners. Since 2007, close to twenty years, we have learned which materials hold up here, where local roofs tend to leak first, and how to seal them so they last. You talk to a real local company that has worked through many wet winters. You get honest work and a fair price. Reach us at (510) 914-0348 for a free estimate.

FAQ
Roofing, common questions
Do roofing contractors need a license in California?
Yes. California requires roofers to hold a state license through the CSLB, not just a local permit. Roofing falls under the C-39 classification. Ask any roofer for their license number, then check it free at cslb.ca.gov before you hire. Tradition Roofing Company holds CSLB license 892345, classification C-39, and we carry insurance too.
How much does a new roof cost in the San Leandro area?
These are typical East Bay ranges, not a quote. An asphalt shingle roof often runs about $9,000 to $18,000. A metal roof runs higher, about $18,000 to $35,000. Tile lands around $20,000 to $40,000. Your roof size, pitch, and material set the real price. We give you a free written estimate so you know your true number.
What is the best roof for the Bay Area climate?
It depends on your home, budget, and how long you plan to stay. Asphalt shingle costs the least and fits most homes, but damp bay air can grow moss on it. Metal reflects heat, sheds rain fast, and handles wind well for decades. Tile lasts a long time and suits our mild weather. Near the hills, a Class A fire-rated roof is the safe choice. We will help you pick.
How long does a roof last in the Bay Area?
It depends on the material and care. In our mild, damp climate, an asphalt shingle roof often lasts about 20 to 25 years. A metal roof can last 40 to 50 years or more. Tile can last 50 years or longer. Damp bay air and moss can shorten any roof's life, so regular inspections help you get the full run out of yours.
What is the best time of year to replace a roof here?
You can reroof in the East Bay almost any time, since our weather stays mild. The drier months from late spring through early fall are ideal, because roofing work goes smoothest without rain. Our wet winters bring the leaks, so it is smart to replace an aging roof before the rainy season starts. If yours is worn, do not wait for the first big storm.
Do you roof both homes and light commercial buildings?
Yes. Most of our work is on homes, where we install and repair shingle, tile, and metal roofs. We also handle light commercial buildings, including flat and low-slope roofs that need the right membrane to keep water out. Whether it is a single family house or a small shop, we roof it with the same care. Ask us about your building and we will help.
