About
General Roofing Company has been serving the Greater East Bay Area since 1924 — a century of commercial and industrial roofing experience that few contractors in Oakland can match. That longevity, combined with Diamond Certified status held for 18 consecutive years, signals a contractor with the institutional credibility that property managers and facility managers need when protecting large commercial assets. Operating under California C-39 roofing license #154732, the company handles complete roof system replacements, repairs, and structured maintenance programs for commercial and industrial facilities throughout Oakland and the broader San Francisco Bay Area. For facility managers overseeing office buildings, retail centers, industrial properties, warehouses, and mixed-use assets in the East Bay, General Roofing offers a tailored maintenance program designed to extend roof service life and limit unplanned capital expenditure. Their team performs inspections and evaluations to assess existing roof conditions across system types common to Bay Area commercial stock — including built-up roofing (BUR), modified bitumen, EPDM membranes, TPO, metal roofing, and protective coatings. Beyond the roof membrane itself, General Roofing installs and repairs commercial accessories including skylights, walkable roof decks, ventilation systems, and rain gutters — components that intersect with building envelope performance and tenant comfort. The company emphasizes the use of high-quality, environmentally responsible roofing products, which aligns with the sustainability mandates increasingly common in Bay Area commercial real estate. All projects come backed by both product and installation warranties, giving building owners documented protection on completed work. With four generations of family ownership and a bilingual team serving English- and Spanish-speaking clients, General Roofing brings both technical depth and responsive personal service to every commercial engagement in Oakland and surrounding East Bay markets.
