Owner operated business for 26 years. no employees. cash and check payments only. I do not accept credit cards at this time. Payment for services is due upon completion of job. I do homeowner occupied homes/condos etc, and chimney inspections for home sale purposes. I have many realtors in San Mateo County who have used me exclusively for many years (references provided upon request) My company philosophy is: DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME! And do not raise your price after being quoted in writing. I have no employees so you will never get the run-around when seeking services or for problem resolution, of which I have had only very rarely.

Chimney Caps questions, answered by experts

It’s possible to install your chimney cap in some areas, but it’s usually better to hire a professional. Before you attempt a DIY chimney cap installation, check to see if your local building department requires a permit. If it does, you should hire a professional to pull the permit and complete the work for you. Even if you don’t need a permit, getting up on your roof is dangerous, especially if you have an aggressive pitch or slippery roof material, like metal. Hiring a chimney professional guarantees the job is done correctly and keeps you safe from injury.

Metal roofs often benefit from snow guards because the slick surface can lead to snow avalanches off of your roof, potentially damaging cars or personal property below and putting your family at risk of injury. Low-slope metal roofs may not require snow guards if your area doesn’t see heavy snow accumulation, but it’s a good idea to install them for security.

The materials that make up your roof will determine how long your roof will last. Typical three-tab shingles generally have a life span of about 20 years, while architectural shingles can last up to 30 years under proper maintenance. Metal roofing materials have longer expected life spans, starting at around 40 years. They can sometimes last up to 100. Slate roofs can last 150 years or longer with proper care. 

You shouldn’t put a new roof underlayment over an old one for a few reasons. Old felt must be removed in order to assess the condition of your roof decking, such as rotting wood or other structural issues. Also, if your roofer doesn't install a fresh layer of felt as is required by shingle manufacturers, your warranty may be voided. Finally, old underlayment removal is often included in the cost of roof repair or replacement, so there's no real benefit to leaving it on before installing a new layer.

To apply for a roofing permit, contact your local building authority. You may visit their office in person or contact them via phone or email. For more information on how to start the process, visit their website.
