Edge Roofing provides roof installation and repair services for residential and commercial clients throughout the Bay Area. The company has the training and equipment to work on a wide range of roof types, from asphalt and wood shingle to TPO and modified bitumen, and it’s also qualified to perform roof inspections, install seamless aluminum gutters, and more.
Owner William Young says Edge Roofing’s customer-oriented approach to roofing work has played an important role in its success. “We love forming relationships with our clients and making it easy for them to improve their homes and businesses. Once we determine what they want, we utilize our experience to streamline the entire process and deliver high-quality results.”
Edge Roofing prioritizes quality control in every aspect of its operations, from training its crew members to maintain clean jobsites to providing the hands-on expertise of Mr. Young himself. “Even if I’m not walking the job all day, I have someone who’s in control of important items who reports back to me,” he explains. “We pride ourselves on our dedication to safety and quality on all of our projects.”
“Our goal is to make sure each client has the best possible experience, so we focus on providing them with high levels of service that exceed their expectations every step of the way. We promise cleanliness, punctuality and professionalism on each job, and we always keep our promises.”
Keep trees and foliage away from your roof for a longer-lasting, better-looking product.
A new roof should look great and protect your house for many years. So, who knew something as lightweight and common as leaves could cause roof failure? According to William Young, owner of Edge Roofing in San Mateo, the best thing homeowners can do to care for their roofs is care for nearby trees. “A lot of homeowners neglect this, but you should have a landscape professional maintain trees near your roof at least twice a year.”
While it might be difficult to immediately discern a difference, Mr. Young says having trees too close to your home can reduce the lifespan of your roof. “Clogged gutters and foliage hanging on your roof cause moisture, so if your roof gets damp and never really dries out because it doesn’t get much sunlight, that can lead to a lot of problems.”
Along with clogged gutters and moisture-welcoming foliage, unkempt trees can cause other issues:
• Unmaintained trees can drop limbs, causing roof damage like broken shingles and holes. This can let water seep under shingles and into the home, causing mold and water damage.
• Branches that touch the roof can rub against the shingles, causing wear and tear.
• Pine needles, leaves, bark and other tree debris can gather on lower or tight sections of your roof, such as against dormers or in crevices. This can allow water to pool, weeds to grow and shingle damage to occur.
• Rodents and other pests can gain access to the roof by using nearby branches. Once there, they can chew into the roofing or build nests that damage the surface of the structure.
• Branches near rooflines can drop leaves that become lodged in gutters. This can cause rainwater to back up and spill over the gutters and along your roofline or into your home.
Maintaining customer satisfaction is a crucial aspect of any business, but it’s even more important for roofing contractors that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award. For Edge Roofing, the key to keeping clients happy is simple: always deliver on its promises. “Building relationships with clients is the most important part of our job, so it’s crucial that we always do what we say we’re going to do,” says owner William Young. “By prioritizing cleanliness and being punctual and professional, we can ensure an overall experience that leaves each client satisfied.”

In addition to working on a wide range of roof types (including wood shingle, asphalt, modified bitumen and TPO), the company has the training and equipment to perform roof inspections, install seamless aluminum gutters, and more.
Unlike roofing companies that hire inexperienced technicians in an effort to reduce their operating costs, Edge Roofing maintains a staff of highly trained professionals who are qualified to perform all types of roofing work. “We understand that quality results start with quality employees,” says Mr. Young. “Our clients often tell us how friendly and accommodating our technicians are. They go the extra mile because they’re happy where they work and they want to deliver for our customers.”
Another distinguishing attribute of Edge Roofing is its emphasis on quality control and craftsmanship in every aspect of its work. “I personally visit every jobsite, and I also have one or two employees who make sure everything is being done according to our high standards,” says Mr. Young. “We also believe in communicating with our clients throughout their projects. If they have any questions or concerns, they know we’ll be there to take care of them.”
