Roofing in Sunnyvale.
Sunnyvale holds street after street of Eichlers alongside street after street of conventional ranchers. Two very different kinds of roof, one standard of work. Repairs, replacements, flat and tile, with a free estimate first.
Two kinds of city, two kinds of roof.
Most of Sunnyvale sheds water the normal way. The Eichler streets barely slope at all, and that difference decides everything about how their roofs are built and fixed.
Eichlers and their nearly flat roofs
Sunnyvale's Eichler neighborhoods carry roofs with almost no pitch and no attic below. The ceiling inside is the roof deck itself, so water that gets through shows up in the living room fast. Membranes, coatings and drainage have to be right, and inspected honestly.
No attic means no second chance
On a conventional home the attic catches a small leak for months. An Eichler gives you no such buffer. That is why we treat low slope drainage, scuppers and edge details as the whole job, not the finishing touch.
The ranchers age like the rest of the valley
Away from the Eichler tracts, Sunnyvale runs postwar ranchers under composition shingle that take the full valley sun. Worn fields, tired boots and flashing that outlived its sealant. All standard work, done properly.
Asked in Sunnyvale.
Answers to what Sunnyvale homeowners ask before anyone climbs a ladder. The wider list lives on the services page.
It depends on what is up there now and what shape the deck is in. Sometimes a sound roof takes an elastomeric coating and gains years. Sometimes resurfacing is the honest answer. We inspect first, show you photos, and quote the options rather than one take it or leave it number.
On the right roof, yes. A coating seals a sound surface and reflects heat, which matters on a roof the sun hits all day. On a failing surface it is money wasted, and we will tell you that to your face before you spend it.
That is the job. On a low slope roof water travels along the deck before it drops, so the stain and the entry point are rarely in the same place. We trace it back, fix the cause and photograph what we did.
