Professional Roofing Services You Can Trust

When it comes to protecting your home, nothing matters more than the roof over your head. At Ken Cooper Roofing, we have been satisfying roofing and gutter customers in Marin County and the greater North Bay Area since 1973. As a family owned and operated business now led by a 3rd generation roofer, we bring decades of hands-on expertise to every project we take on. Our business was built on honesty, reliability, and attention to detail, and those values continue to guide us today. Whether you need a complete roof replacement, targeted repairs, or routine maintenance, we are here to deliver quality workmanship that stands the test of time.

The roofing industry has evolved significantly over the past five decades, with advances in materials, installation techniques, and energy efficiency standards transforming what homeowners can expect from a new roof. We have stayed at the forefront of these developments, continuously updating our methods and training to ensure every project meets the highest standards. When you choose us, you are choosing personal service, competitive prices, and a commitment to doing the job right the first time.

Our Roofing Process From Start to Finish

Every roofing project begins with a thorough inspection and honest assessment. Our friendly staff, starting with founder and principal Ken Cooper, is ready and eager to reduce the natural anxiety you might experience when tackling such a large home reconstruction project. We walk you through the entire process, explain our findings in plain language, and provide detailed estimates so there are no surprises along the way. We want you to be as informed as possible when making your roofing decisions.

Once we agree on a plan, our experienced crew handles everything from removing old materials and inspecting the underlying decking to installing underlayment, flashing, and your chosen roofing material. Proper ventilation, drip edges, and ice and water barriers are all part of our comprehensive approach. We follow manufacturer specifications precisely and adhere to all local building codes, ensuring your new roof performs as intended for decades to come. Cleanup is meticulous because we treat your property the way we would treat our own.

GAF Master Elite Certified Quality

Ken Cooper Roofing is proud to be GAF Master Elite Certified, a distinction held by only about three percent of roofing contractors nationwide. This certification means we have met rigorous standards for training, insurance, and proven performance. It also means we can offer GAF’s most comprehensive warranty options, including the GAF Master Elite Warranty, which provides coverage on both materials and workmanship for extended periods.

As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we install GAF’s full line of asphalt shingle systems, including the popular Timberline HDZ architectural shingles. These shingles offer exceptional wind resistance rated up to 130 miles per hour, Class A fire resistance, and a wide range of color options to complement any home style. GAF’s proprietary LayerLock technology provides a strong mechanical bond between shingle layers, while StainGuard Plus time-release technology helps prevent unsightly blue-green algae discoloration. We help homeowners in San Rafael, Novato, San Anselmo, Larkspur, Corte Madera, Greenbrae, & Mill Valley, CA select the ideal product based on their aesthetic preferences, budget, and performance requirements.

Title 24 Compliance and Energy Efficiency

California’s Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards set specific requirements for roofing materials, particularly regarding solar reflectance and thermal emittance. These guidelines are designed to reduce energy consumption and lower cooling costs, especially important in our region’s warm summer months. We ensure every roof we install meets or exceeds current Title 24 requirements, helping homeowners stay compliant while reducing their environmental footprint.

Cool roofing products, including specially designed reflective asphalt shingles, can significantly reduce attic temperatures and decrease air conditioning costs. We guide our customers through material selection with Title 24 compliance in mind, ensuring the chosen products deliver both performance and regulatory adherence.
