Composite Roofing in San Jose, CA

What Is Composite Roofing

Composite roofing is made from a blend of asphalt, fiberglass and advanced recycled materials. This combination creates a strong, flexible and resilient roofing system that handles the unique weather patterns of Northern California. Many homeowners ask what composite roofing is and what a composition roof means. The answer is simple. It is a high performing roofing system known for its long life, resistance to harsh weather and wide variety of design options.
Composite roofing shingles are designed to look like cedar shake, slate or other premium roofing styles while keeping costs manageable. This makes them a smart and reliable choice for homes throughout San Jose and the surrounding communities.

Why Composite Roofing Works Well for San Jose Homes

Designed for Local Weather Patterns

San Jose experiences long periods of sun, significant UV exposure, occasional heavy rain and strong seasonal winds. Composite shingles hold up extremely well in these conditions. They resist cracking, curling and lifting, which makes them ideal for our climate.

Strong Fire Protection

Fire safety is an important concern in California. Many composition roof materials carry a Class A fire rating. This gives homeowners an added layer of protection and peace of mind.

Great Curb Appeal With Minimal Maintenance

Composite roofing offers the look of high end materials without the upkeep required by wood or tile. The shingles resist fading, algae, mold growth and moisture damage. This keeps your roof looking clean and attractive for many years.

Long Lifespan and Excellent Value

Long Lifespan and Excellent Value

A professionally installed composite roof can last between 30 and 50 years. Maintenance costs remain low and repairs are usually simple. This makes composite roofing one of the most cost effective options for residential properties.

Roof was done reasonably efficiently given inspection delays from the city. PJ was very knowledgeable and helpful with the scoping. Rodrigo was a good project manager that communicated frequently. Silvano, Luis, and Jose did good work, and left the area clean.

Clean Roofing, led by Jose and his crew, and project lead Miguel, did an excellent job installing a new roof, gutters and gutter covers, and roof jack. The work was professional, on time, and I would highly recommend Clean Roofing for any roofing project. They kept me fully informed, were tidy and cleaned up, and the entire roof appearance is beautiful. Thank you very much Clean Roofing.

I was researching solar and reroofing options and even though I did not choose to work with this company in the end, I felt I had to give them good reviews for their help along the process. I had to get many quotes to understand the market and my options so I had to turn down all but 1 company in the end. But I do appreciate the information provided by Art Balaoro. Email communication is quick, clear, and informative. Answered my questions on roofing to work with a solar system for me and was very professional and patient. I think they would've been a solid choice too. I decided to work with a local family-owned roofer whose owner is the roofer and came in person.

We had clean roofing put a Tesla roof on our new house. If you want to get a Tesla roof these are one of the few guys in town that can make it happen for you. When it comes to the service they are good communicators and are very helpful and responsive.

We had Clean Roofing on as the company to do a major roof project for an expected future solar installation. Miguel Huerta and his crew did an excellent job on the project. We needed the whole roof replaced with new plywood, shingles and gutters and their team worked fast. It took a week for everything to be complete and they didn't leave a mess at all. Any complications that came up, they communicated it with us and resolved it in a timely manner. The quality of the roof overall is great and looks beautiful.

I chose Clean Roofing for a full roof replacement going from wooden shaker panels to composite asphalt. Clean Roofing also has a sister company called Clean Solar, and my initial contact was with Art (sales) who mostly answered my solar questions but was more than well versed in answering general questions on roofing as well. He was professional and didn't try to cross sell services, nor was he pushy when I was hesitating on such a costly expense. Ultimately, choose Clean Roofing over other companies because of the professionalism working with Art, the follow-ups, and the detailed quote provided. Their quote came in right in the middle of all the bids, and they have their master installer warranties to put the cherry on top.

Service:
I landed Rodrigo as the foreman and Miguel as my project manager. Both were communicative, and informed me of any issues as the project went along. I always have a healthy bit of skepticism when contractors leave the door open for "unforeseeable issues", but I felt they were very honest in terms of what absolutely needed to be repaired vs what could've waited. My project was close to 40k, but we only saw about a 1k over-run due to dry-rot. They took plenty of pictures of the problem areas, and gave me the option if I wanted to replace.

Miguel followed up daily to ensure I didn't have any questions, and Rodrigo led his crew with a professionalism that inspired confidence in his craftsmanship. He was also very joyful, and that's awesome to see someone that loves their job so much.

Cleanliness:
Re-roofing is a loud and messy job, but everyday I came home to a clean worksite. The floors were all blown clean, and they neatly made a pile of their tools in a corner of the driveway for use the next day. I have an exposed garage, and the team offered to tarp my belongings before the project started, and tried their best to clean the garage of all the debris that fell by the end of the project.

There was a bit of an obstruction that found it's way into my bathroom exhaust vent, but Rodrigo took care of it right away when he was back on site the next day by blowing it out.

Quality:
From what I could tell, the roof looks clean. It passed inspection on first try, and all flashings look properly cut. I guess I'll only truly know when it's rainy season again, but we love how clean the roof looks for now!

Would highly recommend Clean Roofing, their service was top notch and I feel confident in their work.

[UPDATED REVIEW]
Following the initial unfortunate incident, the company's president Micah personally reached out and assured that he would oversee the roof replacement process. Although their bid was not the most economical, I chose this company over several others due to positive reviews highlighting exceptional service.

The day of the teardown proceeded seamlessly. The team arrived promptly in the morning and removed the old roof within approximately three hours. Later that afternoon, new materials were transported onto the roof in preparation for an early start the next day. Anticipating potential rain, the crew covered the roof with felt paper to prevent any water leakage into the home.The re-roofing was efficiently completed within two days, and the team executed an outstanding job.

They undoubtedly went above and beyond, even touching up paint on trim and fascia boards, as well as patching small areas of stucco to ensure the roof's optimal appearance. Throughout the process, I experienced excellent communication, decision-making autonomy, outstanding customer service, and superior workmanship quality.

I would highly recommend Clean Roofing!

[PREVIOUS REVIEW]
I wanted to replace my roof and asked for a quote, The estimator visited the property and did an review and told me that i had 2 layers of roof and he would send an updated quote in next couple of hours. I was in a hurry to get the process started so i followed up the next day when the quote was not sent. They replied back with the updated quote.

I noticed that quote still mentioned 1 layer of roof removal. I asked for the correction on thursday and followed up again on monday when i didn't get a response on Friday.

i got a response but the price changed again, i was under the impression the initial updated quote was including the price of two roof layers. I expressed my displeasure at the of me having to follow up a lot and how this process has not been good so far.

But that's when i call back and had person yell at me, accusing me that i called off work hours and was expecting a response over the weekend. I never called that company or any person in that company but only have incoming calls. But the experience of person from a company yell at you because i expressed that i was having a bad experience in communication is a first me. All this before signing a contract, think of what you can expect after signing the contract. This should tell you of what kinds customer service you can expect from this company.

They are arrogant, non responsive and really difficult to work with. From my experience I would not work with this company, and advice other to do the same.
