Half Moon Bay roofs don’t fail the way inland roofs do. You know the fog that rolls in off the Pacific and sits on your house all summer? That fog carries salt. And salt does something to metal that sun and heat don’t. A proper inspection here has to look at what the shingles are nailed to, what’s holding your flashing together, and where wind-driven rain pushes water sideways into places rain shouldn’t go. That’s the work we do, and we do it by a standard we put in writing.

Why Brennan Roofing Is Half Moon Bay’s Preferred Roof Inspection Company

Homeowners in Half Moon Bay call us because the inspection actually tells them something useful. Travis Oakley runs a crew that works to a defined standard called The Garrison Standard, and that means the price goes on paper before we start, the technician who shows up is background-checked and in uniform, and the report you get is written in plain English, not roofing jargon with a sales pitch attached.

We see the same failure patterns on this coast over and over. Corroded galvanized nails backing out of decking. Flashings that rusted through from salt fog. Moss on the north slope hiding soft decking underneath. When a Half Moon Bay homeowner asks us to inspect a roof, we check the things that actually go wrong here, not the checklist a roof inspector in San Mateo would use. That local read is the whole point of hiring someone who works this fog line every week.

Every inspection comes with a written report and our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something we said was sound turns out not to be, we come back and make it right at no charge. That guarantee is for one full year, in writing, and it’s the same on a $295 inspection as it is on a full re-roof.

Hail Damage Roof in Half Moon Bay

Hail damage roof work in Half Moon Bay is rarely what it is in Texas or Colorado, but when a winter atmospheric-river storm swings through with cold air aloft, you can get pea-sized hail and heavy wind-driven rain in the same afternoon, and the damage is real: bruising on composition shingles, knocked-loose granules, and cracked tile on coastal bluff homes. When we assess hail damage in Half Moon Bay, we’re looking for impact points on the shingle surface and checking whether the underlayment and flashing absorbed water during the storm that followed.

What We Check After a Storm

We document every impact point with photos, then test for granule loss on the shingle surface and soft spots in the decking underneath. On a Half Moon Bay roof, hail is often the secondary story. The primary damage is usually wind-driven rain that got under a flashing that was already corroding.

Working With Your Insurer

We’ll document what we find in a format insurance adjusters recognize. If hail damage is present, we’ll give you a scope of work and a written repair or replacement price, then you decide whether to file a claim or handle it as a regular repair.

Roof Estimate in Half Moon Bay

A roof estimate in Half Moon Bay should tell you two things: what the work costs and why it costs that amount. We give you a written, line-item estimate before any work starts, and the number on that page is the number you pay. No add-ons at the door, no change order because the crew found something the estimator “didn’t see.” The price is fixed before we order material, and it stays fixed.

What the Estimate Covers

We walk the roof, check the decking, flashings, underlayment, and drip edge, and then we price the work for your specific roof, not a generic model. If you have a coastal-side home west of Highway 1, we’ll price stainless fasteners and a peel-and-stick membrane at the eaves as the default, because that’s what this climate demands.

Long-Lead Items and Timing

On custom coastal homes with slate, tile, or standing-seam metal, the material lead time often drives the schedule more than labor. We order early, lock the price in writing, and tell you the real calendar, not the optimistic one. The estimate is free. The clarity is the point.

Trusted Brands We Service in Half Moon Bay

We work on all major roofing systems and install materials from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Half Moon Bay homes, we keep a local stock of the fasteners and flashings that actually fail here: stainless nails and screws, copper and stainless flashing stock, and ice-and-water-style membrane for the eaves and valleys. If your roof has older Atlas or Tamko shingles and you need a matching repair, we can source what’s needed faster than most, because we know what this coast consumes.

Common Roof Inspection Problems We See in Half Moon Bay Homes

• Corroded galvanized fasteners and flashing. The salt-laden fog west of Highway 1 eats galvanized metal faster than inland heat ever could. We see nails backing out of decking and flashing rusted through at the chimney on homes that are only 10 to 15 years into a 25-year shingle.
• Wind-driven rain intrusion at chimney and vent flashings. Winter southerly storms push rain sideways into flashings that pass a dry-day check. On ocean-facing homes, that’s the most common leak source we document.
• Moss and algae on north-facing slopes. The fog drip keeps north slopes damp for months. Moss hides cracked underlayment and soft decking, so a surface-only inspection misses real moisture damage underneath.
• Low-pitch roof detailing on mid-century ranches. Alsace Lorraine and the older tracts have ranch homes with pitches that don’t shed water aggressively. Proper underlayment and drip edge detailing matters more on those roofs than on steeper custom builds.
