"Incredible service from the EHL team. They replaced my shingle roof in Daly City in just 3 days. The drone inspection was super cool and honest—no hidden damage fees. Highly recommend!"

"I was quoted $24k by another company, but EHL did it for $18k with better materials (Landmark Pro). The crew was professional, cleaned up perfectly, and the 50-year warranty gives me peace of mind."

"Finally a roofer that answers the phone! The 2-hour response time is real. They fixed a leak in my flat roof that two other contractors couldn't find. Honest, direct, and skilled."

Why San Francisco Roofs Are Different

Roofing in the city isn't just about shingles; it's about logistics, permits, and fighting the salt air.

Strict Permitting

SF DBI (Department of Building Inspection) requires a registered C-39 contractor for all reroofing. We handle the entire permit process for you.

  • Title 24 Compliance
  • Historic Review Ready

The "Fog Belt" Factor

Constant moisture in the Sunset and Richmond districts accelerates rot. We use specialized waterproofing and algae-resistant materials.

  • Silicone Coatings
  • Modified Bitumen

Tight Access Logistics

Zero lot lines and steep streets? No problem. Our teams are experts in navigating SF's challenging urban density without disrupting neighbors.

  • Debris Management
  • Pedestrian Safety

Navigating SF DBI Requirements?

San Francisco has some of the strictest roofing codes in California. From Title 24 energy compliance to historic preservation reviews in districts like Alamo Square, we handle the entire permit process for you.

  • Class A Fire Rating: Mandatory for all SF roofs due to urban density.
  • Cool Roofs: Required for low-slope roofs (Title 24).
  • Insulation: R-19 minimum often required during reroofing.

Tailored Solutions for Your Neighborhood

Sunset & Richmond (The Avenues)

Flat roofs (Tar & Gravel or Modified Bitumen) are standard here. We specialize in converting old gravel roofs to modern, leak-proof TPO or Torch Down systems that resist the constant fog.

Noe Valley, Mission & Castro

Victorian and Edwardian peaks require skilled shingle work and careful flashing around ornate details. We preserve the historic look while upgrading protection.

Pacific Heights & Marina

High-wind exposure and salt air demand premium slate, tile, or heavy-weight architectural shingles with stainless steel fasteners to prevent corrosion.

SOMA & Downtown

Commercial and mixed-use buildings benefit from our cool-roof coatings that reduce building cooling costs and meet strict Title 24 commercial standards.
