Roofing services in San Rafael
ARS handles the full range of roofing work for San Rafael homes and businesses:
- Free roof inspections and assessments
- Roof maintenance, including an annual tile roof maintenance program
- Roof repair: flashing repair, emergency leak repair, deck board replacement
- Full roof replacement, always with a complete tear-off of old layers first
- Waterproofing for decks and low-slope roofs
- Solar prep roofing
- Roof ventilation adjustments, including bathroom exhaust vents
- HOA, condominium, and multi-family roofing, backed by additional liability coverage
ARS is a GAF Master Elite Certified Contractor, so GAF-installed shingle roofs can carry up to a 25-year workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer’s material warranty. For the flat and low-slope roofs common on San Rafael’s downtown commercial buildings, ARS also installs IB Roof Systems, a heat-welded single-ply membrane that’s the only roofing product with a warranty against ponding water.
Gutter services in San Rafael
ARS also inspects, repairs, and replaces gutters throughout San Rafael. The city sits right on San Rafael Bay, so properties closer to the water see more fog and salt air than homes further inland, and copper gutters are worth considering there. Most San Rafael homes, especially those set back from the bay or up in the hills, still do fine with standard prepainted steel or aluminum.
Not every gutter problem needs a full replacement. ARS repairs leaky seams, re-hangs sagging sections with better slope, and swaps out damaged downspouts before recommending anything bigger. The team also offers annual and semi-annual cleaning plans, plus gutter guards matched to the trees on your property.
HOA and Multi-Tenant Roofing in San Rafael
Multi-tenant and HOA housing units need more than a standard homeowner’s job: board approvals, shared common areas, and insurance a typical policy doesn’t cover. ARS carries additional liability insurance specifically for HOA, condominium, and apartment properties, and the team is familiar with board sign-off timelines and keeping property managers informed as work moves forward.
- Board-ready estimates covering scope, materials, and timeline
- Ongoing communication with property managers and HOA boards
- Scheduling built around occupied units, with advance notice for residents

- GAF Master Elite Certified Contractor
- Family-led since 2004 by CEO Letitia Hanke, recognized nationally for entrepreneurship and community leadership
- ARS donates up to 5% of the earnings from every job to The LIME Foundation, which trains at-risk youth in construction trades and supports local seniors and veterans
Built for San Rafael's homes and businesses
San Rafael has hillside neighborhoods near open space where fire risk runs higher than in the flatter areas closer to the bay. ARS installs Class A fire-rated metal roofing for property owners who want that protection, a non-combustible option that also tends to last 40 to 70 years with minimal upkeep. For older homes with tile roofs, ARS’s annual tile maintenance program is often a better first step than an early replacement.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer roofing services in San Rafael?
Yes. ARS Roofing & Gutters is based in Santa Rosa and serves San Rafael as part of its Marin County territory, alongside Sonoma and Napa counties. San Rafael customers can reach the dedicated Marin line at (415) 459-7200.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. ARS holds CA Contractor License #837618, carries full bonding and insurance, and adds liability coverage for HOA, condominium, and apartment properties.
Do you offer emergency roof repair in San Rafael?
Yes. ARS answers calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. If you have an active leak, call right away rather than waiting for regular business hours.
Do you repair gutters or only replace them?
Both. ARS repairs leaking seams, re-slopes sagging sections, and replaces downspouts, and installs full new gutter systems when the existing ones are undersized or failing in multiple spots. Homes closer to San Rafael Bay sometimes do better with copper gutters, though standard prepainted steel or aluminum covers most properties in the city.
What roofing material is best for a San Rafael home?
It depends on the property. Composition shingles from GAF or Certain Teed cover most standard reroofs, older tile roofs often do better on an annual maintenance program than an early replacement, and Class A fire-rated metal roofing is worth considering in San Rafael’s hillside neighborhoods near open space. An inspection is the fastest way to get a recommendation specific to your roof.
