San Mateo's established neighborhoods, from the tree-lined streets off El Camino Real to the hillside homes near Laurelwood Park, are full of 1940s and 1950s houses with shingle roofs that are now well past their prime. If you live in 94401, you've probably noticed more metal roofs going up on your block, and for good reason: they last decades longer and handle the Bay Area's damp winters without the constant patching.

Homeowners here call San Francisco Metal Roofing because we've been working on Peninsula roofs since 2009, and we know the specific challenges of San Mateo's aging housing stock. Whether your home is a mid-century rancher near downtown or a larger property up in the hills, we can tell you exactly what it takes to switch to metal without surprises.

Metal Roofing in San Mateo (94401)

San Mateo sits between the bay and the hills, and that means two very different roofing environments within a few miles. Down in the flats, lots are tight, many homes have low-pitch or flat roofs hidden behind parapets, and mature street trees drop leaves and limbs that test every gutter and flashing detail. Up in the hills, roofs deal with more wind exposure, steeper grades, and the occasional fallen branch from eucalyptus and oak. We've seen plenty of aging shingle roofs in neighborhoods like Baywood and Aragon that are ready for a long-life metal system, and we know how to handle the access issues that come with narrow driveways and close property lines.

Our team has been serving San Mateo and the surrounding San Francisco area since 2009, and we're a Metal Roofing Alliance member. That means we stay current on installation methods that actually hold up in this climate.

Our services in San Mateo

How a Job Works in San Mateo

Step 1: You call us at (628) 356-4308, and we set up a free on-site assessment. We'll walk your roof, check the decking and flashing, and talk through whether a retrofit over your existing shingles makes sense or if a full tear-off is the better call. You get a written estimate with clear pricing before any work starts.

Step 2: Once you approve, we handle the permit paperwork. Roofing permits are commonly required for a replacement or re-roof in San Mateo, and thresholds vary, so we confirm the rules with the city before scheduling. If your property is in an HOA or a design-review area, we'll coordinate on panel profile and color. Then our insured crew gets to work, protecting your landscaping and keeping the site organized, which matters on the tight lots common around 94401.

Step 3: We clean up thoroughly, haul away all debris, and do a final walkthrough with you. We don't leave until you've seen the finished roof and know exactly what was done.

Pricing in San Mateo depends on roof size, access, the condition of the existing deck, and how soon you need it done. As a ballpark, metal roof installation starts around $8 per square foot, standing seam runs from about $10 per square foot, and a retrofit over existing shingles starts at $7 per square foot. Repairs and leak fixes typically start at $450, while a full replacement starts around $9 per square foot. We give free estimates, so call (628) 356-4308 and we'll put together a realistic number for your property.

My 1950s rancher near Beresford Park has original shingles. Can you install metal over them?
Often yes, as long as the existing roof has only one layer and the decking is sound. We'll inspect the shingles and flashing during the free assessment, and if a retrofit makes sense, we'll explain the process and the code limits on layers.
A storm knocked a branch onto my roof and I have an active leak. How fast can you respond in San Mateo?
Call us right away at (628) 356-4308. We prioritize active leaks and storm damage, and we can typically get out to inspect and tarp the area quickly to prevent further damage. We also document everything for your insurance claim.
What does a typical metal roof replacement cost for a 1,500 square foot home in 94401?
For a home that size, a full replacement usually starts around $9 per square foot, so you're looking at roughly $13,500 and up depending on access, decking repairs, and the panel type you choose. We'll give you an exact figure after a free on-site estimate.
Do I need a permit for a metal roof in San Mateo, and how do I check the rules?
Yes, roofing permits are commonly required for a full replacement or re-roof, and requirements vary by jurisdiction. We recommend confirming current rules with the City of San Mateo website or the building department before you start, and we handle the permit application as part of our service.
My neighbor's tree hangs over my roof and my HOA has rules about roof color. Can you help?
We can't trim a neighbor's tree for you, but we can document any damage it causes and work with your HOA on approved panel profiles and colors. If there's a property-line dispute, we'll stay out of it but make sure the installation respects your lot lines.
Are you fully insured for work at my San Mateo home?
Yes, we carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation for every job. We're happy to provide certificates before we start so you have peace of mind.
What kind of maintenance does a metal roof need in San Mateo's climate?
Metal roofs are low maintenance, but in our damp winters and under mature trees, it's smart to clear debris from gutters and check flashing around chimneys and skylights once a year. We offer inspections and can replace any failed fasteners before they turn into leaks.

“We had San Francisco Metal Roofing install a new metal roof on our brick apartment building, and the difference is night and day. The crew of four knocked it out in about a week, and they even swept the sidewalk and hauled away every scrap. The building looks sharper than it has in decades.”

“Our Victorian had a tired copper roof that we were honestly scared to touch. They came out, walked us through the whole copper replacement, and matched the original detailing beautifully. It wasn't cheap, but watching that new copper go up was worth every penny.”

“Had them put a corrugated metal roof on our forest cabin and it turned out rock solid. The panels handle the rain and pine needles way better than the old shingles ever did. Took them two days and they left the site cleaner than they found it.”

“Full metal roof replacement on our house, and I was bracing for weeks of chaos. They finished in four days, kept the yard tidy, and the new standing panels look fantastic. Only tiny gripe is they showed up a little later than promised on day one, but honestly the work speaks for itself.”

“We had a leak right around the chimney and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. They got up there, found the failing flashing, and had it sealed and repaired the same visit. No more drips after the next big storm, which is all I wanted.”

“Didn't want the mess of tearing off our old shingles, so we went with the retrofit over them. The crew was in and out in three days and you'd never know there were shingles underneath. Really relieved we didn't have to deal with a full tear-off.”

“Went with standing seam for our place and I'm genuinely impressed with the craftsmanship. The seams are dead straight and the whole roof looks like it belongs on a much fancier house. They cleaned up so well that my neighbor asked who did the work.”

“I was worried about branches hanging over the house and how the roof was holding up, so I booked an inspection. They checked everything, cleared the debris off the panels, and gave me a straight answer instead of a sales pitch. Appreciated the honesty, though I wish they'd had more availability sooner.”
