    ABOUT OAKLAND

    A City Rebuilt Twice: From the Flatlands to the Hills

    Oakland’s neighborhoods grew up in distinct waves, from the Craftsman bungalows built near Lake Merritt in the 1900s and 1910s to the mid-century ranch homes that filled in Montclair and the hills after World War II. The 1991 Oakland Hills firestorm destroyed roughly 3,000 homes in a single weekend, and most houses in Montclair and the upper hills today were rebuilt in the years that followed under stricter fire codes.

    That mix means roofing needs vary block by block: older flatland homes often need shingle or tile replacement, while hillside properties are frequently required to use fire-resistant materials. We recommend scheduling an inspection before the rainy season starts, especially on any roof older than 15 years, and we handle the City of Oakland permitting process so it never slows the project down.
