Roof City did an excellent job on my roof. They were professional, fast, efficient, and clean. They over- delivered on their promise to do a five- star job in two days, which included all materials and permits needed. They deserve a 10 star rating 🌟 ✨ 💫🌟✨💫🌟✨💫☀️🙌🏾😀👍🏾

The team dis an excellent job on our roof. Carlos and his team are punctual, communicative and kept the worksite clean throughout the project. There was a slight delay in the beginning but the whole process felt smooth and stress free. Alex was generous enough to add in extra service worth $759. Highly recommended, honest roofing work.

They offered a reasonable price for my roof replacement, and overall I’m satisfied with the work. The main issue was that it took quite a while to finish because of the permit process. At one point, I was worried that the roofing materials left at the property might be stolen, so I texted them about it. They responded to my message right away, which I appreciated, and luckily nothing was stolen. Overall, the price was fair, they were responsive when I had concerns, and the project was completed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Didn't find the answer to your question? Call Now (650) 977-3351
What areas do you serve?
We serve Northern California across three regions: the San Francisco Bay Area, Greater Sacramento, and the Central Valley. Our published guides cover 14 counties and 88 cities. Our Castro Valley and Sacramento offices support local estimating, permit coordination, and project planning across these regions.
How does billing and financing work?
Financing may be available for eligible projects with approved credit. Available terms depend on lender approval, project scope, and current programs. Your project manager can review the options that apply before work begins. We also accept checks, ACH, and major credit cards.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Hamilton Exteriors holds CSLB License #1078806, active general liability coverage, and the required contractor bond. We also hold GAF Master Elite and James Hardie Elite Preferred credentials. We can provide current proof of coverage before work begins.
Do I need a permit for my exterior project?
Permit requirements depend on the project scope and local jurisdiction. Hamilton Exteriors coordinates required applications, plan documents, corrections, and inspections. Permit fees and allowances appear in the proposal before construction begins.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Hayward?
A typical asphalt shingle roof replacement on a 2,000 square foot home in Hayward costs $17,500 to $21,500, including tear-off, underlayment, flashing, and cleanup. Metal roofs run $25,000 to $40,000. Tile roofs run $30,000 to $50,000. Permit fees add $250 to $600. See our 2026 Bay Area roof replacement cost guide for detailed pricing by material.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Hayward?
Yes. The City of Hayward requires a building permit for all roof replacements. We handle the permit application and all required inspections. Permit fees run $250 to $600 depending on the scope of work (Hamilton Exteriors 2024-2026 project data). If a contractor suggests skipping the permit, that is a red flag.
How long does a roof replacement take in Hayward?
Most residential roof replacements in Hayward take 2 to 5 days, depending on the roof size, material, and complexity. A straightforward asphalt shingle job on a single-story home may take just 2 to 3 days. Tile or metal roofs can take a week or more.
What roofing material is best for Hayward homes?
For most Hayward homes, premium architectural asphalt shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning deliver the best balance of cost, durability, and warranty coverage. If you live in the hills and want maximum fire protection, metal roofing is an excellent choice. For Mediterranean or Spanish-style homes, clay or concrete tile offers unmatched longevity.
What areas of Hayward do you serve?
We serve all Hayward neighborhoods, from downtown and the Bayside area to the hills above Mission Boulevard and the industrial corridor near the San Mateo Bridge. If you have a Hayward address, we can help.
