Roofing on the Peninsula: San Mateo County, from Daly City to Menlo Park
San Mateo County sits between our two offices, with the head office in San Francisco to the north and the San Jose service office to the south, so Peninsula jobs are run from whichever is closer to the address.

Quick answer. Roof Doctor covers San Mateo County from both offices: Daly City, South San Francisco, San Bruno, Millbrae, Burlingame, San Mateo, Foster City, Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood City, Menlo Park, Pacifica and Half Moon Bay. Most Peninsula homes are older than the national average, so repairs, relays and re-roofs on decades-old decks make up most of the work.
San Mateo County
Older homes than most of the country
The median home in San Mateo County was built in 1966, according to Census estimates reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, against 1981 for the country as a whole. On the Peninsula that means stucco ranches and split-levels from the postwar boom, many on their third roof, and a good number of original board decks and flashings that were never replaced.
The practical result is that a Peninsula leak repair often includes a look at the deck and the flashing around it, and a re-roof usually includes some sheathing. We price both in writing before any tear-off.
San Mateo County
Fog on the coast, sun inland
The county has two roof climates. On the coast side, from Pacifica to Half Moon Bay, fog and wind keep roofs damp for long stretches, moss and algae grow on shaded slopes, and fasteners and flashing corrode faster. Inland, from San Mateo to Redwood City, the pattern looks more like the South Bay: long dry summers that crack sealants and boots, then a concentrated wet season.

Wildfire reaches the Peninsula too
The 2020 CZU Lightning Complex burned more than 85,000 acres and displaced more than 77,000 people across Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties. Homes in the Santa Cruz Mountains foothills and the coastside hills are where Class A roof assemblies, ember-resistant vents and clean gutters matter most, and we specify all three on re-roofs there.
