Storm damage roof repair in San Rafael follows the big winter storms that come in off the Pacific, usually between November and March. Strong gusts lift shingle edges, peel back ridge caps and pull gutters loose, while long soaking rain finds every weak spot in flashing.
Exposed homes along the bay side, such as Peacock Gap, Bayside Acres and the Canal, take the most wind. Hill neighborhoods under oaks, eucalyptus and bay laurels, such as Sun Valley, Dominican and Lucas Valley, take the most limb damage.
After a storm, look for shingles or tile in the yard, bent gutters, granules piling at downspouts and new stains on ceilings. The roofer checks every slope, since wind damage is often on the side of the house you cannot see from the street.
Section repairs are common when the rest of the roof is sound. When an older roof has damage on several slopes, the written estimate compares repair with replacement. Larger repairs inside city limits may need a permit from the City of San Rafael Building Division.
Technician insight
Wind damage often hides on the back slope. Shingles can lift, break their seal and lie back down, so they look fine from the ground but leak in the next storm.
