Meet the Owner
I'm Jake, owner of North Bay Roofing Co. After 19 years roofing Novato and the North Bay, I've settled on Malarkey as my go-to for residential and commercial roofing. Their polymer-modified asphalt and built-in smog-reducing granules mean a roof that lasts longer and works smarter—exactly what our neighbors deserve.

About Malarkey
We've been installing Malarkey shingles since 2008, starting with a full tear-off on a 1920s craftsman near Grant and Olive in Novato. That roof still looks sharp today. Malarkey's polymer-modified asphalt holds up better in our coastal fog and hot inland summers than standard shingles we've tried from other lines.
What sold us was the built-in smog-reducing granules and the UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating. When a storm rolls in off the bay, we know a Malarkey Legacy or Highland shingle won't crack from hail or wind-driven debris. That means fewer callbacks and real peace of mind for our neighbors in Novato, San Rafael, and Petaluma.

We’re a Malarkey-certified installer, and we price our work honestly. Costs vary by your home’s size, pitch, and the specific Malarkey line you choose. Here’s what drives the estimate.
Malarkey shingle line (Windsor, Legacy, Vista) affects material cost per square
Roof size and complexity—steep slopes or multiple valleys add labor time
Underlayment, flashing, and ventilation upgrades for a full-system install
Removal and disposal of your old roof—we handle all debris cleanup
Prices are estimates; your final quote depends on a thorough inspection. We’ll walk you through every line item before work starts.

Customer Voice
When our old roof started leaking after that big storm last winter, we called North Bay Roofing Co. They showed up fast and walked us through the whole Malarkey shingle lineup. We went with the Malarkey Legacy shingles—they look sharp and the warranty gave us real peace of mind. Thanks to their crew, our home on Redwood Blvd feels solid again.

We run a small commercial building on Grant Ave and needed a roof that could handle the North Bay weather. North Bay Roofing Co. recommended Malarkey because of its durability and energy efficiency. The install was clean, on schedule, and the team kept us updated every step of the way. Our tenants love the quieter interior, and we love the reduced heat in summer.

Verified Reviews
North Bay Roofing Co. replaced our 22-year-old shingle roof in two days flat. The crew was respectful of our landscaping, cleaned up every nail, and the GAF system they installed looks incredible. The price was fair and they filed the permit without us having to chase it. Will absolutely call them again.
After a winter storm tore off two sections of our flashing, North Bay Roofing Co. was on-site within 24 hours. They tarped the exposed decking that same afternoon, walked us through the insurance claim process, and had the permanent repair done by end of week. Honest estimates, no upsell pressure.
I called for a pre-purchase inspection on a home in Petaluma. The inspector found two soft spots the listing agent hadn't mentioned, documented everything with photos, and gave me a written repair estimate I could use in negotiations. Saved me thousands.
