Roof Installation in the Bay Area
Composition shingle, standing-seam metal, tile and flat roofs, for re-roofs and new construction. Every roof we put on is Class A fire rated.
How much does a new roof cost in the Bay Area?
It depends on your roof: its layout, the material you pick and how easy it is to reach. So rather than post a number that may not fit your home, we come out, look at the roof and give you a free estimate.
What the job includes
- We meet you at the house, look at the roof with you and give you a free estimate.
- Every roof we put on is Class A fire rated.
- Ember-resistant vents, if you want them.
- At the end of every work day, the work area is made watertight.
- When the roof is done, we clean your gutters and sweep the yard for nails with a magnet.
- We document everything and include photos.
Roof types
| Roof | What it is |
|---|---|
| Composition shingle | Also called asphalt shingle: a fiberglass or felt mat coated with asphalt, with mineral granules on the weather side |
| Standing-seam metal, mechanical seam | Metal panels whose raised seams are closed with a hand or power seamer |
| Standing-seam metal, snap-lock | Metal panels whose seams snap together, with no seaming needed |
| Tile | Round-topped Mission and Spanish styles, or flat |
| Torch-down (flat roofs) | Sheets of modified asphalt, sealed down with a propane torch |
| TPO (flat roofs) | A single layer of flexible membrane over the whole roof |
| Tar and gravel (flat roofs) | Layers of asphalt built up on the roof and topped with gravel |
| Hot mop (flat roofs) | Layers built up on the roof, each mopped on with hot asphalt |
| Silicone (flat roofs) | A liquid silicone coating, most often put over an existing roof |
Signs it’s time for a new roof
- Shingles curling, cracking or missing in more than one place
- Shingle granules collecting in the gutters
- Water stains on a ceiling or in the attic
- A wood shake roof: it isn’t Class A rated

We had Sunshine Replace a badly leaking old gutter and also replace/stabilize sections of wood rot at the ends of fascia/rake boards on the roof. They were excellent with regard efficiency, skills overall and gave attention to detail when working with us on the aesthetics of the fascia board repair. They were extremely prompt for appointments and came to review the project on site one more time before they started. Excellent communication, feedback and follow up. I highly recommend this company.

Our gutters and downspouts were well past the end of their life and needed to be completely replaced. We got a few different quotes, and Sunshine was not only the most affordable, but also the most thorough. They explained exactly what they proposed to do any why. On the installation day, their team arrived right on time and got the whole job done in just a few hours. They were quick, courteous, considerate of our space, and did a great job. Now we’re ready for El Nino, which is a huge weight off our shoulders.

Each of the people at Sunshine Gutters who addressed a gutter problem area at our house have been very good at what they do and easy to work with. Nir, with over 20 years experience, advised upgrading from 5-inch to 6-inch gutter and downspout at a specific section to solve chronic overshoot during storms. Tammar patiently and completely answered my questions about scheduling and payment. Installer Cesar with assistant José did a neat job of fitting new gutter material to a difficult configuration of eaves and corrected the pitch to ensure proper drainage. Everyone was determined to ensure I would be a satisfied client and they definitely succeeded.

We have been very pleased with the quality and workmanship of Sunshine Gutters Inc. Nir and team were very professional, skilled, intelligent and pleasant throughout the process of having all new gutters and gutter screens put on our large house in North Oakland.

I usually don’t write reviews, but in this case I felt I had to, especially after a bad repair experience with a larger company that was originally recommended to me.
Sunshine Gutters did a great job from start to finish. I had them install new gutters at my home in Richmond and the whole experience was smooth and stress-free. They showed up on time, worked quickly, and were super professional the entire way through. The crew was friendly and easy to talk to, and they really knew what they were doing.
Scheduling was also easy, and they were quick to respond whenever I had questions, which made the whole process feel simple and organized.
Overall, I’m really happy with the service. If you need gutter work done, I’d definitely suggest them.

Huge thanks to Carol at Sunshine Gutters and Roofing!
We had a leaking skylight that was originally installed by another company, and we were preparing for an expensive repair. We received quotes ranging from $1,500 to $4,000 from other roofers and assumed we'd be paying out of pocket.
Instead of trying to sell us a repair, Carol suggested that we contact Velux directly because she thought the skylight might still be under warranty. She was absolutely right. Velux confirmed that the skylight is covered and will be inspecting and repairing it under warranty.
Carol's honesty, knowledge, and willingness to point us in the right direction saved us thousands of dollars. It's rare to find a company that puts the customer's best interests ahead of making a sale. We are incredibly grateful for her advice and professionalism.
If you're looking for a trustworthy roofing company, I highly recommend Sunshine Gutters and Roofing. Thank you again, Carol!

Sunshine Gutters far exceeded my expectations for the installation of new gutters on my home in El Sobrante. From the excellent customer service of Carol in the office, to the very reasonable and competitive price quote given by Zack during his visit, to the exceptional installation by Antonio and his staff, I could not be happier. It’s not often you can recommend a company based on a perfect experience. Kudos to Sunshine Gutters in El Cerrito.

Last week I hired Sunshine Gutters for a gutter installation at my home in Richmond, California, and I am very happy with their service!
The team was friendly and very professional. They came on time and got the job done quickly. The quality of their work is excellent, and my new gutters look great.
I also appreciated how easy it was to schedule an appointment with them. They were quick to respond to my questions and made the whole process simple.
Overall, I had a great experience with Sunshine Gutters, and I would definitely use them again in the future. If you need gutter work, I highly recommend them!

Questions people ask
Can a new roof lower my insurance?
It can help. California’s Safer from Wildfires program counts a Class A fire rated roof as one of its measures, and the state says every action in the program qualifies you for an insurance discount. Every roof we install is Class A. Ask your insurer how it applies to your policy.
What does Class A mean?
It’s the top fire rating for a roof. California’s building code puts it this way: Class A roofs “are effective against severe fire test exposure.” For many roofs the rating belongs to the whole roof as tested, the layers under the covering included.
Is a new roof guaranteed?
Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 7 years, and the roofing materials carry their maker’s standard warranty.
How long does a new roof take?
It depends on the size of the job.
Do you do new construction?
Yes, new construction as well as re-roofs.
Is financing available for a new roof?
Yes, through Acorn Finance: you can see if you pre-qualify in minutes, and checking won’t affect your credit score. Financing →
A new roof is easiest to plan before the rainy season, not in the middle of it.
