Roofing Contractor in Sonoma, CA

Rea Roofing Inc. serves the city of Sonoma and the wider valley, including Boyes Hot Springs, Fetters Hot Springs, El Verano and Glen Ellen. Tile, metal, composition and low-slope work all show up regularly within a few miles of the Plaza.

Tile is the signature material here, and the single most useful thing a Sonoma homeowner can know is that a leaking tile roof rarely needs new tile. Tile is the wearing surface; the underlayment beneath it does the waterproofing, and it ages out decades before the tile does. A lift-and-relay — removing the tile, replacing the underlayment and all the metal, then re-laying the original tile — is usually the correct and considerably cheaper answer.

The Nuns Fire in 2017 burned through the hills on both sides of the valley and reached properties above Glen Ellen and Kenwood. Homes on the valley's eastern and western slopes sit in wildland-urban interface territory where Class A fire-rated assemblies are required, and both tile and standing seam metal deliver that rating without giving up the look the architecture calls for.

In the older parts of town, low-slope and nearly-flat roofs on additions and commercial-style buildings are common and are where the real leaks live. Many were originally built up or torch-applied and have been patched repeatedly. A modern single-ply membrane with genuine slope to a proper outlet solves what another layer of patching will not.
