From traditional built-up roofing systems for flat and low-slope structures to advanced solar-reflective shingles that improve energy efficiency, our services combine time-tested techniques with modern innovation. We specialize in re-contouring flat roofs for proper drainage, installing rigid foam insulation for comfort and energy savings, and building durable tile or composition shingle roofs that add both beauty and value. For homeowners who love natural materials, we also offer fire-treated cedar shakes and shingles as well as cedar sidewall siding that bring timeless warmth and charm—while ensuring safety and longevity.
Every detail matters when it comes to safeguarding your investment. That’s why we complement our roofing services with custom gutters and sheet metal flashings that direct water away from your property, preventing costly damage to foundations, siding, and landscaping.
No matter which system you choose, our team delivers the same trusted craftsmanship and integrity that has defined Marin County Roofing for over 100 years. Whether it’s a small repair, a full roof replacement, or specialized upgrades, we work with precision, professionalism, and respect for your home or business.
Built-up roofing is a durable, time-tested option for flat or low-slope roofs. Layers of roofing felt are applied with factory supplied modified bitumen, then topped with a protective cap sheet. The result is a strong, weather-resistant system that provides excellent waterproofing and long-lasting performance. This system is ideal for clients who want a proven solution that will stand up to decades of sun, wind, and rain.
This system combines the strength of traditional built-up roofing with the added protection of a reflective coating. The coating improves energy efficiency by reducing heat absorption, extends the roof’s lifespan, and provides extra defense against UV damage and water intrusion. Homeowners and building owners benefit from lower cooling costs and a longer-lasting roof.
Rigid foam insulation is installed beneath the roof system to improve thermal efficiency and comfort. It helps maintain stable indoor temperatures, reduces energy bills, and supports proper drainage by allowing precise slope adjustments. Clients appreciate that this investment not only enhances their roofing system but also makes their property more energy-efficient year-round.
Poor drainage is one of the biggest threats to flat roofs. Our re-contouring service corrects slope and water flow issues, preventing standing water, leaks, and premature roof damage. By ensuring water moves efficiently toward drains and scuppers, we extend the life of the roof and save clients from costly repairs down the line.
Tile roofs offer timeless beauty and unmatched durability. Available in both clay and concrete, these tiles resist fire, pests, and rot while delivering decades of reliable protection. They’re especially popular in Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes common in Marin. Beyond aesthetics, tile roofs provide excellent insulation and add long-term value to your property.
Lightweight concrete tiles provide the beauty of traditional tile without the added structural demands. They’re perfect for homes that want the elegance of tile roofing but need a lighter option to protect structural integrity. This system combines style, safety, and performance while reducing overall roof load.
Composition shingles are one of the most versatile and cost-effective roofing options. They’re durable, easy to maintain, and available in a variety of colors and styles to complement your home. Our premium installation ensures protection from the elements while enhancing curb appeal. This is an excellent choice for homeowners seeking reliability and value.
These shingles offer all the benefits of traditional composition roofing with the added advantage of solar-reflective technology. They reduce heat absorption, keep homes cooler in the summer, and lower energy bills—all while meeting California’s Title 24 energy requirements. Clients love this option for its blend of eco-friendliness, performance, and aesthetics.
For homeowners who love the natural beauty of cedar, fire-treated shakes and shingles provide both rustic charm and added safety. Treated to meet fire-resistance standards, this option gives you the warmth and elegance of wood while offering peace of mind in wildfire-prone areas.
Cedar shingles aren’t just for roofs—they make beautiful siding too. Cedar sidewall shingles add character, warmth, and timeless appeal to your home’s exterior. Naturally resistant to insects and decay, they age gracefully and enhance curb appeal for decades.
Proper water management is key to protecting your investment. Our custom gutters and sheet metal flashings are designed to move water safely away from your roof and home, preventing leaks, foundation issues, and damage to landscaping. Built to last, these systems ensure your roofing investment is fully protected from the elements.

"I would like to thank the foreman on the job and the great roofers who put on the cedar shakes and also the tar and gravel part of our roof. Everyone in our neighborhood asked me who did such a good roofing job in that short amount of time. Keep up the good work."
