A leak on a Gilroy tile roof is almost never the tile. It is the felt or membrane underneath, which is the part actually keeping water out. The tile is a rain screen and a sunshade.

• underlayment failure
• flashing leak
• attic moisture
• valley leak
• pipe jack leak
• emergency leak repair

Storm season here is a rain season, not a hail season. What takes roofs apart in the South Santa Clara Valley is a run of atmospheric rivers landing on an assembly already at the end of its underlayment life, plus the occasional oak or eucalyptus limb. That distinction matters because it changes what counts as damage.

• storm damage roof repair
• atmospheric river damage
• wind driven rain
• fallen limb roof damage
• winter storm roof
• roof storm restoration
• water intrusion
• tree impact roof
• storm inspection

We keep this page because people search for it, and because the honest answer is worth more to you than the sale. Damaging hail is not a Gilroy problem. In this valley it is a rare, small-stone event, and in most years it does nothing to a roof at all.

Wind damage on a Gilroy tile roof is a mass problem running backwards. Ordinarily the tile's weight is what you design for. In a gust event, individual pieces at the perimeter stop being weight and start being loose objects, and where they land tells you what was holding them.

• wind damage roof repair
• lifted tile
• ridge tile repair
• blown off shingles
• tile refastening
• wind uplift
• rake tile
• roof edge repair
• wind damage inspection

Most roof inspections end in an opinion. Ours ends in a document carrying two numbers the City of Gilroy will ask you for eventually anyway: how many layers of covering are up there, and what the finished assembly weighs per square foot. Those two numbers decide your options before anything else does.

• roof inspection
• roof condition report
• pre purchase roof inspection
• roof certification
• layer count
• assembly weight
• remaining roof life
• attic inspection
• real estate roof inspection
• underlayment assessment
• roof inspection cost

In most cities architectural shingle is the default because it is cheap. In Gilroy it is often the correct engineering answer as well, and that is a very different argument to make. A laminated shingle assembly runs roughly two and a half to three pounds per square foot.

Metal is usually the upsell on a roofing website. Here it is the weight argument, and it wins on numbers rather than on taste. Stone-coated steel in a barrel or shake profile lands near a pound and a half per square foot, while keeping the tile silhouette.

We install tile, we relay tile, and we will tell you when not to put it back on your house. That last clause is why this page exists, because in Gilroy the tile decision is a load decision, and almost nobody frames it that way at the kitchen table. Standard-weight concrete tile runs about nine to eleven pounds per square foot.

• broken tile repair

Gilroy's low-slope work is rarely a whole flat roof. It is the porch return, the patio cover, the addition over the garage, the dead-flat section behind a parapet. These are the planes that leak first and get quoted last, usually as an afterthought at the bottom of a steep-slope bid.

• modified bitumen
• single ply membrane

• patio cover roof

A coating buys years on a roof that still has a sound substrate. It is not a way to fix a roof that has stopped working, and in this city it carries a wrinkle nobody mentions in the sales pitch: coatings weigh something, and weight is the constrained resource here. A high-solids silicone applied at a serious mil thickness adds real pounds across the entire surface.

Attic ventilation is the least expensive line on a roofing estimate and the one most often specified wrong. Gilroy inspects it against a fixed ratio, so there is a number to hit rather than a judgment call, and it pays to know that number first.

The requirement is one square foot of net free ventilating area for every 150 square feet of the space being ventilated, with at least half of that area placed no less than three feet below the ridge or the highest point of the space.

This page may talk you out of something, so here it is up front. In Gilroy, adding a skylight counts as a structural change. It is called out as work that may not go over the counter, and it can require a roof framing plan and structural calculations.

• skylight replacement
• leaking skylight
• tubular skylight
• sun tunnel
• curb mounted skylight
• deck mounted skylight
• skylight flashing kit
• solar tube

Gutters get treated as an add-on line at the bottom of a roofing bid. On a Gilroy tile house they are geometry, and the geometry changes if the covering changes, which is a sentence most homeowners hear for the first time after the tile is already off the roof. A tile field sits higher and projects further past the fascia than a shingle field does.

The eave is where a roof meets the wall, and where most of this city's rot lives. On Gilroy's post-1990 tract stock it is usually a boxed soffit with a continuous vent strip and a stucco or fiber cement return, which hides damage beautifully until a screwdriver goes into it. Water gets in there two ways.

• fascia repair

Two kinds of chimney sit on Gilroy roofs and they fail in completely different ways. Most houses built since 1990 carry a metal flue sitting inside a stucco-clad framed chase. The older stock nearer downtown has real masonry.

An emergency tarp exists to buy you a dry week. It is not a repair, and getting that straight at the start matters, because a tarp sold as a repair is how people end up paying twice and discovering the real damage in March. Tarping a tile roof is a specific problem, and it is the one we get called for most here.

• emergency roof tarping

Gilroy's commercial roofs fall into three groups and they are not interchangeable. The distribution and light industrial buildings out toward the freeway, the retail and outlet-adjacent boxes, and the historic downtown stock where the roof question is entangled with what the building is permitted to look like. Start with the code that catches owners out.

Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Gilroy and the South Santa Clara Valley. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling roofing work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.

Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
