Roof Replacement in Burlingame, California

The Burlingame homes from the 1920s-50s are reaching the end of their roof life, and the marine moisture has worn them. Roof replacement in Burlingame means choosing the material that stands up to the Peninsula climate.

Signs Your Burlingame Roof Needs Replacement

• The roof is over 20 years old — the lifespan is ending
• Shingles are curling or cracking — the weather has worn them
• Granules are everywhere in the gutters — the surface is failing
• The roof has been repaired several times — the patches are adding up
• The moss has damaged the surface — the marine moisture has taken its toll

Why Burlingame Roofs Need Replacement

The age is the main reason. The Easton Addition and the downtown homes from the 1920s-50s have roofs that are decades past their life. The original roofs have been patched several times.

The marine moisture is the second reason. The fog and the damp have worn the surface, and the moss has damaged the shingles. The roof that has been cleaned and patched several times is often past its useful life.

Preventing Early Replacement in Burlingame

• Clean the moss and the algae — the marine moisture wears the surface
• Inspect the roof twice a year — after the winter rain and before the fog season
• Fix the small problems early — the small leaks become big rot
• Keep the flashing sealed — the bay wind works the metal loose

Expert tip: on a Burlingame roof, the marine moisture is the biggest factor. The fog and the damp wear the surface faster than the heat, and the moss needs the annual cleaning.
