Roofing in Los Gatos

Winter storms hit Los Gatos hard. Rain comes sideways, wind gusts push 40+ mph, and hail dents shingles flat. The roofs we see most often show water intrusion along the flashing, missing shingles after wind events, and rot developing in the soffit where moisture gets trapped. Mid-century modern homes and Spanish colonial estates built here decades ago weren't designed for today's weather intensity.

Summer heat cycles stress the membrane itself. Shingles curl at the edges. Underlayment gets brittle. Then fog rolls in—constant moisture that breeds algae and mold across the north-facing slopes. Gutters clog with debris. Water backs up. Rot spreads into the fascia and decking before most homeowners notice the stain on the ceiling.

We handle these problems the same way every time: tear-off the damaged section, inspect the substrate for decay, replace with proper ring-shank nails and starter course overlap, then seal every flashing joint. No shortcuts. Los Gatos roofs sit at 400 feet elevation where weather changes fast—what works in the valley doesn't work here.
