San Rafael sits where the Marin hills meet the bay, and the housing stock shows it. You've got 1920s bungalows on flat lots near downtown, hillside homes stepping up toward China Camp with steep driveways and tight access, and everything from Victorian-era cottages in Gerstle Park to mid-century ranchers in Terra Linda.

Homeowners in 94901 call us because metal roofing makes sense here: wildfire zone, marine air, and roofs that take a beating from winter storms. We've been installing and repairing metal roofs around San Rafael since 2009, and we know the difference between a roof that looks right and one that's actually fastened for these hills.

Metal Roofing in San Rafael (94901)

San Rafael isn't a single type of job. Down in the flats near Fourth Street, you're often dealing with older roofs and tight side yards, so staging materials takes planning. Up in the hills, the grade changes everything: steep pitches, limited truck access, and wind exposure that punishes poorly fastened panels. We see a lot of failed fasteners and separated seams after atmospheric-river storms, plus flashing gaps around chimneys and skylights on homes that have been re-roofed a few times over the decades. Because this is wildfire country, Class A assemblies matter, and we handle both stone-coated steel and standing seam with that in mind. Drainage is another local issue: on hillside lots, water moves fast, so gutters and downspouts need to be sized and placed correctly, not just installed.

Our experience serving San Rafael and the San Francisco area, since 2009.

How a Job Works in San Rafael

Step 1: You call (628) 356-4308 or request a free estimate. We schedule an on-site assessment, walk the roof, check the decking and flashing, and talk through options. You get a written estimate with pricing, not a ballpark over the phone.

Step 2: Once you approve, we handle the work. In San Rafael that often means coordinating with the city on permits, planning for narrow driveways or hillside access, and keeping the crew insured and safe on steep pitches. If your home is in an HOA or a design-review area, we help you understand what panel profiles and colors will pass.

Step 3: We clean up daily and do a final walkthrough with you. Magnets sweep the yard for fasteners, gutters get checked, and we don't leave until you've seen the finished roof and know what to expect going forward.

Pricing in San Rafael depends on the roof, not just the square footage. As a ballpark, metal roof installation starts around $8 per square foot, standing seam around $10, metal roof replacement around $9, and retrofitting over existing shingles around $7. Repairs start at $450, leak repairs at $450, and screw replacement or re-fastening at $750. Stone-coated steel and metal shingle systems start around $9 per square foot. The big cost factors here are access (hillside lots and tight driveways take more labor), the condition of the decking and flashing, the pitch of the roof, and how quickly you need it done. We give free estimates, so call (628) 356-4308 and we'll put real numbers on your job.

My house is on a steep lot in the hills above downtown San Rafael. Can you still install a metal roof?
Yes. Steep pitches and limited access are common in San Rafael, and we plan for them. That might mean a different staging approach, extra fall protection, or hand-carrying materials where a truck can't reach. We assess access during the free estimate so there are no surprises later.
A storm just lifted some panels on my roof in San Rafael. How fast can you respond?
We treat wind-lifted panels and active leaks as priorities. Call (628) 356-4308 and we'll schedule an inspection, often the same week. We can secure the roof temporarily if needed and give you a repair estimate. Storm and wind damage inspections are free.
What does a typical metal roof replacement cost in San Rafael?
Most replacements fall in the range of $9 to $12 per square foot for the roofing itself, but the total depends on size, access, decking condition, and whether you need new flashing or gutters. A 1,500 square foot roof is a different job than a 3,000 square foot hillside home. We give free written estimates so you can compare accurately.
Do I need a permit for a metal roof in San Rafael?
In most cases, yes. A full replacement or re-roof typically requires a permit, and the requirements can vary depending on the scope and the property. We recommend checking with the City of San Rafael website or the building department directly before work starts. We're happy to walk you through what we've seen on similar jobs, but the city has the final say.
My neighbor and I share a property line, and my roof drains toward their yard. What are my options?
This comes up in San Rafael's older neighborhoods where lots are close together. Drainage and property line rules are set by local code, and we can adjust gutter placement or downspout routing to keep water on your property. If you're in an HOA, review the CC&Rs first. We can coordinate with neighbors when access is needed.
Are you insured for work on my San Rafael home?
Yes. We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage for our crews. We're happy to provide proof of insurance before work begins so you're protected.
What maintenance should I do on a metal roof in San Rafael?
Check fasteners and flashing before the rainy season, usually in late fall. Clear debris from valleys and gutters, especially if you have redwoods or oaks nearby. After a big storm, look for lifted panels or loose screws. A quick annual inspection can catch small issues before they become leaks. We offer free estimates if you want a professional look.

“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.”

“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.”
