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 Piedmont 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.
Roof inspection →Who you are hiring
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.
Piedmont is inside our regular Alameda County run. The shop is at 2310 Bates Ave #AA in Concord, and the crew that inspects is the crew that does the work.
On the visit
What a repair visit actually checks
An inspection comes before any price because the crew has to see what is actually failing before it can say what a repair will involve.
- Deck and underlayment. The crew checks the roof deck for soft spots and the underlayment for tears, because new material will not last if the layer beneath it is already failing.
- Flashing and penetrations. Every vent, chimney, and wall junction is checked by hand, since these joints cause more leaks than the field of the roof itself.
- Drainage path. Gutters, downspouts, and the slope of the roof are checked so water has a clear path off the roof and away from the foundation.
- 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 Piedmont roofs
For a repair, the material is matched to what is already on the roof so the patch blends and performs the same way. For a replacement, the choice comes down to the roof pitch, the framing, and how long the homeowner plans to stay, with shingle, tile, slate, and metal all on the table.
- 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 Piedmont roof repair costs
A written estimate lists the scope, the material, and the price before any work starts, so a homeowner can compare it line by line. There is no trip charge for an estimate inside Piedmont, and the crew will say plainly if a repair is the better call than a replacement.
| What moves the price | Why it matters in Piedmont |
|---|---|
| Deck condition | The rubber boot around a plumbing vent cracks and shrinks with sun exposure, and water then runs down the pipe into the attic. A homeowner may first notice a brown ring on the ceiling below a bathroom or a musty smell in the hallway. |
| Flashing and penetrations | Metal flashing at walls, chimneys, and valleys pulls loose or rusts through, and the joint that was meant to shed water starts holding it. The early sign is a stain that shows up after wind driven rain rather than after every storm. |
| Pitch and access | When gutters and downspouts fill with debris, water backs up under the lowest shingle course and rots the fascia board behind the gutter. A homeowner might see paint peeling at the roofline or water spilling over the edge during a storm. |
| 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 Piedmont 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 Piedmont permit is a line item in the estimate, not a surprise at the end. |
