Gutter and roof installation, cleaning, repairs and rejuvenation. Family-owned since 2002, trusted by thousands of returning Bay Area homeowners.
Napa, in short
Does Napa have its own fire department?
Yes. The City of Napa Fire Department was established in 1906, the City says. Its Fire Prevention Division inspects construction and weed abatement and looks into fire-hazard complaints. The City Code says weeds and brush on private property must be cleared by June 1 every year.
The story of Napa
Napa, the seat of Napa County, on the Napa River.
The City says Napa was founded in 1847 at the uppermost point of river navigation. Boats, then a railroad, carried its trade, and tanneries, a quarry and a steel plant were once among its biggest employers.
The City’s General Plan says Native Americans lived in the Napa Valley region for thousands of years before European settlement.
The General Plan says Mexican settlement began in the 1820s and early American settlement followed around 1846 to 1849.
The City says Napa was founded in 1847: its history page says Nathan Coombs laid out the original town site of Napa City that year, and the General Plan says Napa City was founded by Grigsby and Coombs on a small site at the confluence of the Napa River and Napa Creek.
The spot was a natural location for the town, the City’s history page says, because it was at the uppermost point of river navigation, which made it a trade and transportation center for travelers and goods.
Gold miners spent their winters in Napa, the City’s history page says, and the City calls Napa a jumping-off point for 49ers bound for the gold rush.
The first steamboat navigated the Napa River from San Francisco in 1850, the City says, and the most important transportation development of the 1860s was the Napa Valley Railroad.
The City says the formation of a county government system in 1850 brought about the building of the first courthouse.
By 1854, the City’s history page says, the town had forty buildings, mostly primitive and made of wood, with dirt streets and a theater, a company of minstrels and musicians, and a jockey club.
A weekly newspaper, the Napa Register, appeared in 1856, the City’s history page says.
The City’s Historic Interest Sites page says the Sawyer Tannery, founded in 1869, was the birthplace of “Nappa leather” and grew to be the largest tannery west of the Mississippi.
The General Plan says Napa was incorporated in 1872 as the Town of Napa City and reincorporated in 1874 as the City of Napa.
By the late 1880s, the General Plan says, there were more than 20,000 acres of vineyards producing nearly five million gallons of wine per year.
The City’s Historic Interest Sites page says Jensen and Pridham invented the loudspeaker in their Napa workshop in 1915 and went on to found Magnavox.
In the 1920s and 1930s, the General Plan says, Napa was a blue-collar community, and most men worked union jobs at the local clothing and other factories, or at the nearby Mare Island Naval Shipyard.
The Basalt Rock Company was founded in 1924, the City’s 2009 history says; its quarry just south of town supplied rock for a number of large Bay Area construction projects, including the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay Bridge, and it became one of Napa’s largest employers.
In 1955, the City’s 2009 history says, Kaiser Steel Corporation acquired Basalt’s Napa steel manufacturing facilities, and Basalt-Kaiser would ultimately employ 1,500 workers to produce pipes and steel structures.
Between 2008 and 2010, the City’s Heritage Napa program studied Napa’s historic resources, and the City posts survey reports for several historic areas.
The General Plan, adopted in October 2022, says the City’s economy today remains keyed to wine and tourism.
Fire safety
Finding your fire hazard class
The City’s hazard-zone page says: “You can search by address to find your current designation on the website: osfm.fire.ca.gov/fhsz”. The City Council’s record shows the final adoption, on June 3, 2025, of an ordinance that adds a Fire Hazard Severity Zones section (17.52.180) to the City’s code and adopts an uncodified map of the zones.

Weeds and brush on your lot
The City Code makes weeds, brush, berry vines and dead or dying trees on private property a public nuisance that the owner or occupant must clear at their own expense (section 8.24.010), and says “Vegetation removal shall be accomplished by June 1st of every year” (section 8.24.020). The City’s Weed Abatement Program page adds that the work must be “maintained throughout the fire season”, that inspections begin on the first day of June, and that properties not in compliance “may be cited and may be subject to fines”.

City rules and regulations
Re-roofs and the City’s permits
The City’s Building Division says: “Over the counter permits are issued for projects that do not require plans.” Among its examples it lists “roofing”. The City’s Master Fee Schedule, effective July 1, 2025 when we last read it, has a re-roof permit line under “Other Building Permit Fees”; the amounts are on the City’s fee page. The City Code adopts the 2025 California Building Standards Code by reference and adds no roof rule of its own (section 15.04), so the State code sets the re-roof rule.

Street trees
A street tree is any tree in the public right of way, often between the sidewalk and the street, and the City’s tree page says it is typically owned by the adjacent private property owner. The City Code makes the owner responsible for the routine maintenance of the street trees fronting the property, says “Pruning may be done by property owners providing it is done to city specifications and with a valid permit”, and says: “It is unlawful for any person to prune a street tree without a valid permit for such work issued by the department. Pruning shall include root pruning within the street right-of-way.” The City keeps a Master Trees List of trees that may be planted in the public right-of-way.

Protected native trees
The City protects seven native tree species on private property that is an acre in size and zoned residential or agricultural, and on land zoned commercial or industrial: blue oak at a diameter of 6 inches or more, coast redwood at 36 inches or more, and black oak, black walnut, California bay, coast live oak and valley oak at 12 inches or more. The City’s page says “one acre in size or larger” and its handout says “over one acre in size”, so a lot of about an acre is a question for the City.

A permit for a protected native tree
The City’s page says: “The removal or pruning of a protected native tree is prohibited unless a permit is first applied for by the property owner or person authorized by the property owner.” The handout says a permit also covers pruning a branch or limb “greater than four inches in diameter” or removing more than 10% of the live foliage in a year, cutting a root over two inches in diameter within the drip line, and changing the grade by more than two feet within the drip line.

Storms, flood and drainage
How the City says it floods
The City’s 2024 flood guide says: “Historical records show at least 25 significant floods on the Napa River since 1862.” It calls typical floods on the river slow-rise floods with a warning time “lasting from hours to days”, and says creeks and streams within the City “may produce slow-rise or flash floods”. “Based on historic data, three inches of rain over six hours is often enough to cause creek flooding in the City of Napa.”

Free sandbags
The City says that when a flood threat develops it provides sandbags free of charge, and that emergency distribution begins when the National Weather Service posts a flood or flash flood watch for the Napa River or its tributaries. The City’s pages call the sandbags self-serve, with a limit of 10 bags per household, and say to bring your own gloves and shovel. The sandbags are given out the first Saturday of each month from November through April, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., at 720 Jackson St.; to check before you go, call the City’s Corporation Yard at (707) 257-9541.

Emergency Home Repair Grant
The City’s Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program, funded with Community Development Block Grant funds, offers Emergency Repair grants to low-income homeowners “whose homes are in urgent need of repairs”. The City’s page says the grants are “offered for repair of windows, doors, leaking roofs, plumbing, electrical problems, and more”, and the program’s file says typical repairs may include roof patching; the grants fund “only those repairs immediately needed to mitigate a hazardous condition”. The City’s Housing Rehabilitation staff “determine what repairs are needed” and “arrange for a contractor”. You must own the home and live in it, the home must be at least 15 years old (mobile homes excepted), and household income must be at or below 80% of the area median: $98,700 for 1 person and $140,950 for 4 people (HUD limits effective June 1, 2026); the file lists the other household sizes.

Home Repair Loan
The Housing Authority of the City of Napa runs the City’s Home Repair Loan: “Qualified property owners may be eligible to receive a no-interest loan for home repairs and improvements, depending on the household’s annual income and equity in owned property.” It is for the owner’s primary residence in the City, with household income at or below 80% of the area median, and the loans are “payable upon sale of your residence”. The work the City lists includes foundation, structural, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, windows, flooring, painting, insulation and termite repairs, and accessibility and energy efficiency improvements; neither the City’s page nor its file names a roof or a gutter.

The City’s Cash For Grass program offers City water customers “a financial incentive to replace their unused water-thirsty lawns with water-efficient landscaping”: $2.00 per square foot of eligible lawn, up to $2,000 for a single-family home. Rain gardens, which the City says are “designed to capture and treat rainwater that runs off roofs, driveways, or other impermeable surfaces”, receive an extra $1.00 per square foot. Funding is limited and first-come, first-served; the program “is currently budgeted through June 2027”, but the City “reserves the right to terminate this program at any time, for any reason”.

Napa, roof and gutters
Napa sits beside the Napa River at the southern end of the Napa Valley, the City’s hazard plan says. Most of the city is level, with brush- and oak-covered foothills along its eastern and western edges, vineyards to the north, and farmland, marsh and the county airport to the south. The General Plan says the City’s storm drains discharge into Salvador, Redwood, Browns, Napa and Tulocay creeks and the Napa River.
Yearly rain runs from 20.23 inches at the Napa County Airport station to 26.66 inches at the Napa State Hospital station, by NOAA’s 1991-2020 normals for the two nearest stations with a published normal, about 6 miles and 2 miles from City Hall, so we say about 20 to 27 inches. Most of it falls in the winter months.
The City lists seven native tree species as protected: black oak, black walnut, blue oak, California bay, coast live oak, coast redwood and valley oak. The General Plan says blue oak and coast oak are the dominant trees on the west-facing eastern foothills and valley oak is found on the valley floor.
We have been working on Bay Area roofs and gutters since 2002. If yours hasn’t had a look in a while, we’d be glad to come by.

Napa questions
What Napa homeowners ask us
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Napa?
The City’s Building Division says: “Over the counter permits are issued for projects that do not require plans.” It lists “roofing” among its examples, and the City’s Master Fee Schedule has a re-roof permit line. If you wish, we can also pull the permit for you, as most of our customers ask us to.
Who looks after the tree at the curb in front of my house in Napa?
Usually you do. The City’s tree page says: “Street trees are typically owned by the adjacent private property owner, but are regulated by the Napa Municipal Code, Chapter 12.44.” Pruning is allowed “after obtaining a Street Tree Pruning Permit from the Parks & Recreation Services Department”, and all work must comply with City pruning standards.
Can I prune or take down an oak on my own land in Napa?
It depends on the tree and the lot. Seven native species are protected, the oaks among them, but only on larger residential and agricultural lots and on commercial and industrial land. Where they are covered, removing or pruning one needs a permit applied for first. If your lot is about an acre, ask the City: its page and its handout word the acre differently.
Can I run my downspout into the sewer in Napa?
No. The Napa Sanitation District, which serves the City of Napa and surrounding unincorporated areas, bans it: its code names “water from rainwater leaders or downspouts” among the water that no person may send to the sewer (section 4.04.110 G).
Is the sewer pipe from my house to the street mine to fix in Napa?
The part from your house to the property line is yours. The Napa Sanitation District’s page says: “Keep in mind that the sewer lateral from the property line to the house is the responsibility of the property owner.” For sewer problems it says: “call us first, at 707-258-6000, ext. 9.”

It hosts Westwood Hills Park, a large, hilly park opened in 1976, and many of its houses were built in the 1950s, the City says.
Vintage
The City says it houses Vintage High School, Queen of the Valley Medical Center and Garfield Little League Park.
