Gilroy Roof Pros provides professional roof repair in Gilroy, CA for residential and commercial properties across the South Santa Clara Valley. Call this the known-damage page: shingles lifted by a valley wind, a cracked pipe jack, broken ridge tile, a satellite mount that needs closing, one pitch scuffed by a fallen limb. Leak detection is a separate service.
Gilroy publishes the number, which saves everyone an argument. The Building Division's re-roof handout states that a permit is required for repairs that exceed one hundred square feet. Below that figure a covering repair is a repair; above it you are in permitted, inspected work.
The same handout carries two more limits worth knowing. An overlay is allowed over one existing layer only, and a pre-roof inspection has to happen before anything covers it. If the finished assembly will exceed seven and a half pounds per square foot including sheathing, the framing goes to the city's structural reviewer.
Those three lines together tell you why a cheap second layer is often not available on a Gilroy house, especially a tile one. They also tell you what a legitimate repair bid should mention, and a bid that mentions none of them is worth a second read before you sign it.
Who pulls that permit matters too. The handout requires a contractor to show a current C-39 license, workers' compensation and a current City of Gilroy business license before the counter will issue. If a bidder suggests you pull the permit yourself as an owner-builder to save a step, understand that you are taking on responsibility for the work meeting code.
Whether to fix it at all turns on age, on how far the trouble went, and on what sits beneath. South Valley sun ages an asphalt covering steadily and the wet season finds every tired flashing, so a covering approaching twenty has limited margin. Firm sheathing and one application argue for fixing it; doubled covering or a deck that moves argues against.
Matching gets an honest answer. New shingles will not vanish into a twelve-year-old roof, since the sun has already moved its color and some products are no longer made. Concrete and clay are kinder, because a relay puts your own tile back down, though cracked pieces cannot go back up and we will not pretend they can.
Then the counsel that can cost us the job. Where the covering is spent, one pitch is the wrong place to put money, and we will bid the whole roof and set both numbers in front of you. Insurance follows the same logic: send your carrier a loss that plainly outruns the deductible, and settle anything smaller yourself.
Our insured and bonded team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — assembly weight in pounds per square foot including sheathing, standard-weight concrete tile at nine to eleven pounds per square foot, stone-coated steel formed in a barrel profile, 7/16-inch Exposure 1 sheathing with edge blocking at the panel joints, 26-gauge galvanized wall and roof intersection flashing, net free ventilating area at a one-to-150 ratio — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Gilroy and nearby communities including Morgan Hill, San Martin, Hollister, San Juan Bautista.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof repair
The difference between roof repair that lasts and roof repair that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with assembly weight in pounds per square foot including sheathing, standard-weight concrete tile at nine to eleven pounds per square foot, stone-coated steel formed in a barrel profile, 7/16-inch Exposure 1 sheathing with edge blocking at the panel joints, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Gilroy job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the South Santa Clara Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
