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 🌟 ✨ 💫🌟✨💫🌟✨💫☀️🙌🏾😀👍🏾

Local Expertise
Exterior Projects in Los Gatos, California
Los Gatos has approximately 12,000 housing units. The charming downtown area features historic homes from the early 1900s, while hillside neighborhoods offer larger custom homes with premium roofing requirements.
Los Gatos requires building permits for all roof replacements. Properties in the Historic Preservation Zone have additional review requirements to ensure roofing materials are compatible with the home's architectural character.
Hillside neighborhoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains foothills, including areas near Lexington Reservoir, are in designated WUI fire zones. Class A fire-rated materials are required, and brush clearance is enforced.

Local Tip
Los Gatos's Historic Preservation Zone covers much of downtown — roofing projects on designated properties require compatibility review. Natural wood shake look-alikes in composite material are the most popular approved alternative to original wood roofs.
