Services in Newark
What we repair
Roof repair
Leak detection and repair, wind damage, failed flashing, missing shingles, and the low-slope sections that cause most of it.
Roof repair →Roof replacement
When the deck or underlayment is past a spot fix. Tear-off, deck repair, underlayment and a permitted install. We re-roof in architectural shingle, tile, slate and metal, and a full re-roof gets the same permit a new build does.
Roof replacement →Flat and low-slope
Garages, additions and mid-century homes in TPO, EPDM and modified bitumen. We tell you when a coating is the honest answer and when it is not.
Flat roofing →Emergency repair
Active water gets priority. Same-day dry-in where it is safe, then the correct repair.
Emergency repair →Gutters
A lot of "roof leaks" in Newark start at a failed gutter seam or a downspout that dumps at the foundation.
Gutter repair →Roof inspection
For a sale, a refinance or an insurance claim. Photos and a written scope you can hand to someone else.

Family owned since 1988
East Bay Roofers is a licensed, bonded and insured California C-39 roofing contractor. We have worked in the East Bay since 1988 and the same company answers the phone today.
We hold GAF certification, which is what makes the GAF Golden Pledge warranty available on a full roof system. That is a manufacturer-backed guarantee on the install, not a promise on a flyer, and it is only valid when the roof is installed by a certified contractor.
Our shop is at 2310 Bates Ave #AA in Concord, and Newark sits on a regular East Bay route, so an inspection is usually same week rather than same month.
On the visit
What a repair visit actually checks
An inspection comes before any price because the crew has to see the roof, the attic, and the flashings to know what the repair or replacement involves.
- Roof surface and edges. The crew walks the roof and checks the shingles, tiles, or metal panels for cracks, lifting, and wear. This shows whether a repair will hold or whether the covering is near the end of its life.
- Flashings and penetrations. Every vent, pipe boot, skylight, and wall junction gets checked for loose metal and failed sealant. These are the spots where small leaks start and where a targeted repair can save the roof.
- Attic and decking. The crew looks inside the attic for stains, damp wood, and daylight through the deck. This tells them whether water has reached the structure and whether decking needs replacement.
- Granule loss, curl and blistering across each roof plane
- Gutter line and downspout flow after the last storm
- Fastener backing and whether an earlier repair was nailed or glued
- Fascia and sheathing at the eaves for rot behind the drip edge
- Whether the fix is a repair or the start of a replacement, in writing
Materials
Materials we install on Newark roofs
For a repair, the material is matched to the existing roof so the patch blends and performs the same way. For a replacement, the choice depends on the roof pitch, the structure, and how long the homeowner wants the roof to last.
- Architectural shingle
- GAF Timberline UHDZ and Landmark Pro profiles, with the manufacturer warranty registered through Golden Pledge.
- Cedar shake
- Hand-split and taper-sawn cedar over a ventilated deck, so the shakes dry from both sides.
- Clay tile
- Boral and Eagle clay tile, quoted with a breakage allowance because every remove and reset breaks tile.
- Concrete tile
- Boral and Eagle concrete tile in flat, low and high profile, with the weight checked against the framing.
- Slate
- Natural slate in graduated courses, with copper flashing at the valleys and the chimney.
- Standing seam metal
- Concealed-fastener metal panel formed on site, with a factory finish that holds color.
- Copper
- Copper flashing, valley metal and chimney caps, soldered rather than caulked.
- Aluminum
- Aluminum gutters and trim, with a factory finish over the coil stock.
- TPO
- Single-ply TPO membrane for flat roofs, with heat-welded seams.
- EPDM
- Rubber EPDM membrane for flat roofs, adhered or mechanically attached.
- PVC membrane
- PVC membrane for flat roofs under trees, where falling debris would stain TPO.
- Modified bitumen
- Torch down and self-adhered cap sheet for garages, additions and porches.

Cost
What a Newark roof repair costs
A written estimate lists the scope, the materials, and the price so a homeowner knows what is included before signing. There is no trip charge inside Newark, and the crew gives the estimate after the inspection.
| What moves the price | Why it matters in Newark |
|---|---|
| Deck condition | Flashing at walls, vents, and chimneys can lift or corrode, and water gets behind it instead of running off. A homeowner may see a stain on the ceiling near a wall or a vent after a storm. |
| Flashing and penetrations | Asphalt shingles can crack, curl, or lose their granules as they age, and wind can lift the edges. Loose granules in the gutter and shingles that look uneven from the ground are early signs. |
| Pitch and access | Pipe boots, skylight frames, and valley seams are common leak points when the sealant dries out. A drip in the attic or a dark ring on the ceiling usually shows up first. |
| Roof type | An architectural shingle re-roof, a tile lift and reset and a slate repair are three different jobs with three different labor curves. Shingle, tile and slate each carry their own underlayment detail, and tile work adds breakage on every remove and reset. |
| Published ranges | Our own cost guide lists minor repairs at $450 to $1,200, standard asphalt at $14,000 to $22,000, premium asphalt at $22,000 to $45,000 and tile or metal at $28,000 to $95,000. A Newark estimate lands inside those bands or we explain the difference. |
| Financing | Financing is available on replacement work, and the estimate shows the monthly figure next to the total. |
| Permit and inspection | A City of Newark permit is a line item in the estimate, not a surprise at the end. |
