The type of roofing material that's best in San Leandro will depend on factors such as your budget and how often you're willing to do maintenance.
Slate is more expensive but is more durable, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but will require more maintenance. In San Leandro, winters can be cold. This can make a wood roof, with its superior insulation, a better choice for you. On the other hand, clay roofs can be beneficial during the summer, as they reflect San Leandro's bright sunlight and save you money on cooling costs.
In California, licensing is handled by the Department of Consumer Affairs Contractors State License Board. Contractors are required to have a valid license to work on roofing projects valued over $500, and in most cases must be bonded.
San Leandro has around 12 roofers in the area. Use our guide to the best local roofers to find the right one for you.
Your roof absolutely impacts the energy efficiency of your home. For example, in the summer a good roof helps you cool your home more efficiently. Some materials, such as metal, provide superior insulation compared to other types. Another way to improve energy efficiency, and potentially a great use of roof space in San Leandro, is installing solar panels.
A professional might either pressure wash or "soft wash" your roof, depending on the material and the extent of the cleaning needed. Power washing is not recommended for certain roof types, such as asphalt shingles. To soft wash your roof, your contractor might use chemicals like bleach and detergent, and tools such as brushes and brooms.
