San Mateo Roof Pros provides professional asphalt shingle roofing in San Mateo, CA for residential and commercial properties across the Peninsula. Composition covers most of the houses in this city, and the interesting decisions are never about the shingle itself. They are the four things underneath it that a one-page bid usually leaves blank, and any one of them can move the final number by thousands of dollars in either direction.
Decking is the first. Pre-war and immediately post-war houses here sit on one-by-six boards laid with gaps between them, and every modern shingle warranty assumes a solid nailable deck. So we re-sheathe in half-inch plywood, and we say that up front with a rate attached rather than discovering it on the second morning with a crew already standing on the roof and the old covering in a bin.
Layer count is the second. Two layers of composition, or a cedar shake layer buried under composition, is a different tear-off, a different dump weight and a different waste diversion form. We probe at the eave and at a vent penetration before quoting anything, so the number you are given is not a number that grows once the work is underway and your options have narrowed.
Pitch is the third, and it catches people. A great many San Mateo additions, porch roofs and garage returns run at three in twelve or shallower. Shingles are permitted down to two in twelve only with a doubled underlayment application, and below two they are simply the wrong product regardless of what somebody installed on that plane in 1985 and got away with since.
Fourth is the product, and here we deliberately do not upsell. A mid-weight laminate with a good sealant strip and a Class A listing is the correct shingle for a house that may well be re-roofed again when the addition finally happens. Buying the heaviest designer line for a plane with a five-year future is money that would do considerably more good sitting in the decking line instead.
Our install is unremarkable by design. Six nails in the nailing zone. Starter at eaves and at rakes. Self-adhered membrane in valleys and along the eave. Kick-out flashing wherever a roof edge meets a wall that carries on past it, which is the single most commonly omitted piece on this stock. And a photograph of every penetration taken before the shingle covers it for the next quarter century.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — Class B roof assemblies tested to ASTM E108, concealed-clip twenty-four-gauge Galvalume standing seam, dry-fix hip and ridge systems for clay barrel profiles, granule-surfaced SBS cap sheet over a self-adhered base ply, sixty-mil mechanically attached TPO over tapered polyisocyanurate, half-inch plywood re-sheathing over one-by-six board decking — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve San Mateo and nearby communities including Burlingame, Millbrae, Hillsborough, Foster City.

Materials, equipment and how we do asphalt shingle roofing
The difference between asphalt shingle roofing that lasts and asphalt shingle roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with Class B roof assemblies tested to ASTM E108, concealed-clip twenty-four-gauge Galvalume standing seam, dry-fix hip and ridge systems for clay barrel profiles, granule-surfaced SBS cap sheet over a self-adhered base ply, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every San Mateo job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Peninsula means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
