25-year workmanship warranty on all flat roof replacements, using premium materials from Malarkey, CertainTeed, GAF, and more

If your flat roof is leaking or sagging, you're not alone. We've fixed countless flat roofs in Novato neighborhoods like Bel Marin Keys and Ignacio — and we know the specific issues our coastal fog and winter rains cause. We'll inspect your roof, explain exactly what's needed, and get it done right.

What's Included in Every Flat Roof Replacement

When you book a flat roof replacement with us, you're getting more than just new roofing. Here's exactly what we deliver — from tear-off to final inspection.

Full Tear-Off & Disposal

We strip your old flat roof down to the deck, haul away every scrap, and leave your property clean. No layering over old problems.

Deck Inspection & Repair

We check your roof deck for rot or damage and make necessary repairs before we install anything new. This step keeps your new roof solid for decades.

Premium Membrane Installation

We install Malarkey or CertainTeed modified bitumen or TPO membranes — materials we trust for Novato's sun and rain. Seams are hot-air welded or torch-applied for a watertight seal.

Flashing & Edge Metal

All penetrations, walls, and roof edges get new metal flashing and drip edge, custom-formed on-site to match your roof's angles. No caulk-only fixes.

Drainage & Scupper Upgrades

We clean and adjust drains, scuppers, and gutters to ensure water moves off your roof fast. Standing water is the enemy of flat roofs — we eliminate it.

25-Year Workmanship Warranty

Every flat roof we install is backed by our 25-year workmanship warranty. Plus, manufacturer warranties on materials from GAF, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas.

Real Flat Roof Job: Novato Library

Here's a flat roofing project we wrapped up last year — proof we know this work inside out, from materials to cleanup.

In spring 2023, we replaced the flat roof on the Novato Library at 1720 Novato Blvd. The old built-up roof was leaking into the reading area. We tore it off and installed a new TPO membrane from GAF, fully adhered with insulated cover board. The job took 10 days, and we kept the library open the whole time by working in sections. We also added new edge metal and drains. The client hasn't had a single leak since. It's a solid example of how we handle flat roofing for commercial buildings in our own backyard.

What Our Customers Say

4.7 stars · 225+ 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.
