Why We Started EHL Roofing

After years of installing roofs for large companies, we noticed a pattern: homeowners were paying 30-40% more than necessary due to corporate overhead and middleman markups.

We were doing the work. We had the skills. We had the experience. Why not offer our services directly?

Our Mission:

Provide the same quality roofing work at fair prices, with direct communication, transparent pricing, and the accountability that comes from building our own reputation.

Same skilled hands. No middleman. Better price.

Expert Q&A: Bay Area Roofing

Direct answers from licensed contractors with 500+ Bay Area installations

What is the most cost-effective roofing material for Bay Area homes?

Architectural asphalt shingles offer the best value, ranging $12,000-$15,000 for a typical 1,400 sqft home with a 25-30 year lifespan and excellent wind resistance for coastal conditions.

How long should a quality roof last in the Bay Area?

With proper installation and materials, expect 25-30 years for asphalt shingles, 40-50 years for metal roofing, and 50+ years for concrete tiles. Bay Area fog and salt air reduce lifespan by 10-15% compared to inland areas.

What causes most roof failures in the Bay Area?

Poor ventilation (35%), improper flashing (30%), and wind damage (20%) cause most failures. Bay Area fog creates moisture buildup, making proper ventilation critical for roof longevity.
