| Option | Cost | What You Get | Our Take |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIY Roof Inspection | $0 (just your time) | Visual check from ground or ladder; no training, no tools for hidden issues. | Risky—you'll miss leaks, rot, and structural damage. We've seen too many Novato homeowners pay later. |
| Cheap Competitor Inspection | $50–$150 | Quick walk-around, generic report, no manufacturer-specific knowledge. | They cut corners. We've fixed their missed problems on Grant Ave and Diablo Blvd. |

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.
We’ll climb up, check every shingle, and give you a straight answer — no pressure, no hidden fees. Licensed, insured, and bonded (CA CSLB #1043871). Call or click to schedule.
