Bella J. says, "I interviewed many contractors, and Thor offered the most reasonable price and the fastest solution. I had been struggling with my leaking sunroom roof for so long, and they were the only team that didn’t just patch it with caulking — they completely rebuilt the roof for me. The crew worked incredibly fast and finished everything in just one day, while still maintaining great quality. They were professional, efficient, and very detail-oriented. They even repaired some leaking side glass areas that I hadn’t noticed myself. I’m truly impressed with their work and their honesty. I would absolutely hire them again in the future. Highly recommended!"

Narendra N. says, "Just completed a full reroof and skylight repair project and couldn't be happier with the results. The team was incredibly timely, showing up exactly when promised and finishing ahead of schedule. Alex, the foreman, and Jordan, the project manager, were both consummate professionals who maintained clear communication throughout the entire process. They kept me informed of progress daily and addressed any questions immediately. The thoroughness of their work was impressive, they paid attention to every detail and kept the property clean while working. They also did a water test for the skylights to show that the leak issues have been fixed. Their quote was also very competitive compared to other contractors we consulted. Would definitely use them again and recommend to anyone needing quality roofing work. A truly professional operation from start to finish."

Oggie K. says, "I had an excellent experience with Newhaus Roofing. I've been battling a leak for the last few years and finally got around to getting it fixed. I contacted Newhaus and Greg came out the same day and spent over an hour on my roof and took tons of photos. He also came prepared with aerial photos of my roof he had downloaded prior - very impressive. He provide a fast quote and while I initially planned to only repair the section he identified, due to the age of the roof, I decided to replace the entire roof at one time for the extra peace of mind. The team filed the permits and scheduled the work. I now have a new roof that should last me the next 30 years. Thanks Greg and the Newhaus team!"

Emily J says, "Our bathrooms needed a major upgrade, so I reached out to three contractors for quotes. After speaking with each of them, I ultimately chose Daniels team at Clarity Construction. While they werent the cheapest option, Im very glad I made this decisionwere extremely happy with the results.The process felt well-organized, almost like a technical project with distinct phases: design and implementation. Once the contract was signed, we were added to a WhatsApp group with the entire team, which made communication easy. Responses to questions were always prompt. Jael visited during the design phase. Daniel and Kobi also visited multiple times throughout the implementaiton phase to check progress and address any issues that came up.Our designer, Jael, was wonderful to work with. She was patient, knowledgeable, and thorough, answering all my questions and helping me visualize the space through renderings. She also accompanied me to various showrooms to select the right materials. As with any renovation, things changed once the walls were opened and designs took shape, but Jael guided us through adjustments and minor alterations until the very end.One example: our master bath wall couldnt accommodate a recessed medicine cabinet, and the surface-mount version took up too much space. We had to reorder mirrors, and the crew kindly removed and reinstalled them. Kobi even went out of his way to pick up the previous mirrors and help return them to Home Depot.Daniel handled challenges with calmness and respect. For instance, the backsplash in our guest bathroom initially wasnt high enough. I dreaded redoing all the tile behind the vanity, but Daniel suggested adding an additional four inches of tilea simple, elegant solution that preserved both aesthetics and functionality.For shower doors, Clarity installs premade models at no charge, but since ours were custom, they provided excellent referrals, and were very satisfied with the outcome. I also wanted to replace the old master bathroom window, and again, they connected us with a great window company. Their crew even helped install it without any extra cost.Kobi is a genuinely warm and thoughtful project manager. Both he and Daniel responded quickly to our questions, even during evenings and weekends. Their customer service is exceptionalboth objectively and from our personal experience.The foreman, Jose, was also patient and accommodating. I had second thoughts about placing a small cabinet near the master bathroom doorway, and he helped move it to the garage, reinforcing it so it could function as a nice standalone cabinet instead.From start to finish, Clarity Construction demonstrated that they truly care about their reputation, the quality of their work, and above all, customer satisfaction."

Cris C. says, "Maykon stood out from his initial visit, and distinguished himself from 3 other potential hires with his calm and professional presentation, multiple solutions to remedy my leaking roof and ultimately straight forward pricing based on type of roof and depth of the work, rather than what it looked like I could pay. He came in with the best price with his first offer and therefore did not undercut or bad mouth his potential competition. Titanium navigated a previous permit snafu on my behalf and started and finished when they said they would. The crew arrived on time with a vigor that astonished me. They were friendly, professional, thorough and most importantly fast. They left the yard clean and the roof is a now a thing of beauty. They are a new company that is dusting the competition with a new way of interfacing and getting the job done. I highly recommend Titanium for your total roof replacement."

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Asphalt shingles, slate, clay, metal and terracotta are a few roofing materials you might see on homes in San Francisco and throughout California.  

Because it is impervious to moisture and fire, slate is a long-lasting roof in the alternatively moist and parched climate of the Bay Area. Clay tile is also popular for the same reasons, though it requires more frequent cleaning.

Asphalt shingles are a good choice for homeowners on a budget, as they provide good weather protection. But keep in mind they last only 20 years, while metal, slate, concrete and clay can last 50 years to a lifetime. 

Get free estimates and advice on roofing materials from San Francisco’s best roofers.

San Francisco’s weather largely dictates when to get a new roof. The temperature in fall and winter can be ideal in the Bay Area’s mild climate. Fall and winter are also off-peak seasons because most people do roofing replacements in spring and summer. This means homeowners may get lower prices during these times.

Contact San Francisco’s best roofers to figure out an ideal time to replace or repair your roof.

Installing a new roof on your San Francisco home may boost its value and curb appeal. The Remodeling Impact report found that new roofing has the highest percentage (107%) of cost recovered compared to other exterior projects, such as adding new garage doors, front doors and more. 

Furthermore, the study found that nearly 40% of realtors suggested that home sellers should get new roofing before attempting to sell, and 33% said this project actually helped close a sale.

Chat with the top roofers in San Francisco to start your roofing project today. 

Some of the signs that indicate you need a new roof include cupping, warping and peeling asphalt shingles, as well as cracks on certain shingles. Other warning signs may include:

  • Leakage
  • Exposed nails 
  • Missing granules
  • Droopy, sagging roof
  • Moss, mold or fungi growth 

A metal roof may need to be replaced when it grows rusty and begins leaking. Tile roofs made of clay, slate or concrete need repairs when cracked. Cleaning and inspecting the roof regularly can help prevent major damage from occurring. 

Contact the best roofers near you to inspect, repair or replace your roof.

It’s not customary or required to tip roofers. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t tip, but it is generally not expected. If you do decide to tip, you can give the tip to the foreman or distribute it yourself. 

Another idea to show your appreciation is to surprise the crew with coffee, water, snacks, breakfast or lunch when they arrive at the worksite. 

Choosing a roofer starts by reading reviews online. Compare customer ratings of roofing contractors and companies to identify pros with a good track record of craftsmanship and customer relations. Some reviews may also have photos of completed roofing jobs.

Many states require a license for someone to do roofing work, so make sure the companies you’re considered are licensed. Also, look for contractors and companies with several years of experience. 

Before you make your final choice, contact several roofers near you to get free estimates and quotes. Ultimately, choose the roofer that will do high-quality work for a reasonable price. 

Homeowners insurance generally covers roof replacement if the roof is damaged by a natural disaster or a sudden accident, according to Investopedia. However, insurance companies often won’t cover roof replacement costs if the roof is older than 20 years. Read your insurance policy to find out what types of roof repairs or damages are covered.

The best roofing material for your home will depend on your budget and what you’re looking for. If you want a roof that has longevity, consider the following lifespans for different materials: 

Roofing material Lifespan
Asphalt 20 years
Metal 40-80 years
Copper 70 years
Clay/Concrete 100+ years
Slate 60-250 years
Simulated Slate 10-35 years

There are a variety of roofing materials available and appropriate for residential applications. When choosing roofing materials, it's essential to consider the look you want, your budget and the climate in your area. 

Asphalt shingles are one of the most popular types of roofing materials because they are affordable and relatively easy to install. They come in various colors and styles designed to last decades if properly maintained. Asphalt shingle roofs also have a higher fire resistance than other roofing materials (like wood shakes), making them an ideal choice for homes in areas prone to wildfires or other natural disasters. 

Metal roofs are becoming increasingly popular because they offer superior durability, fire-resistance and energy efficiency compared to traditional asphalt shingle roofs. They are available in various colors and styles, making them a good option if you want more customization options. Metal roofs also require less maintenance than other types of roofing materials. 

Tile roofs are an excellent option for homeowners looking for long-term durability and multiple style options. Tile roofs can have great longevity with proper maintenance, making them an ideal choice for those who don’t want to replace their roof too often. Tile roofs typically cost more than asphalt shingle or metal roofs, so if budget is an issue, this might not be the best option for you. Keep in mind that tile roofs are often made out of clay or concrete — both of which are durable.

Slate roofs are known for lasting a lifetime, which means you probably won't have to replace this type of roof. Slate is durable, a curb-appeal booster and a favorite among homeowners. Just keep in mind it can get a bit pricey.

No matter which type of material you choose, make sure that you hire a top-rated professional who knows how to properly install your home's new roof. Search Thumbtack for roofing contractors and companies in your area today.

A roof’s lifespan depends on two major factors: the material and how well the roof was installed. Assuming that the roof is installed properly, here’s how long different roofing materials should last:

  • Asphalt shingle roof: 20 years
  • Metal roof: 50 years
  • Slate roof: 100+ years (lifetime)
  • Clay roof: Lifetime
  • Concrete roof: Lifetime
  • Copper roof: Lifetime

Contact the best roofers near you to get free estimates and start planning your roofing project today.

There are several reasons why it’s worth it to hire a professional roofer instead of attempting it yourself. The first is safety. Roofing is inherently dangerous, as a fall from a roof could seriously injure or kill you. Roofers have specialized equipment and training to help prevent accidents.  

Next is experience. Roofers know how to spot problems (leaks, missing shingles, moss or mold growth, etc.)  in your roof that could potentially save you from costly repairs down the road. 

And finally, roofers save you time by getting the job done quickly and with a high degree of quality.
