Wedge Roofing’s 49 years of demonstrated roofing expertise, renowned customer service and ethical business practices have earned the company its reputation as one of the best roofing contractors nationwide, and the sole San Francisco Bay Area roofing company to earn the industry’s most prestigious accreditations and awards. This includes the National Roofing Contractors Association 2016 Gold Circle Award, the 2017 Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Ethics and the SPFA Industry Excellence Award for Best Spray Foam Roof Nationwide three consecutive times (2020, 2022 and 2023).
Being certified as a GAF Master Elite, CertainTeed Select, Metal Roofing Alliance and SPFA Spray Foam Roofing Contractor places Wedge Roofing in the top 1 percent of the roofing profession, representing the highest standards of roofing expertise, renowned customer satisfaction and ethical business practices in the roofing industry today.
“Built on values of honesty and integrity, Wedge Roofing is committed to providing clients with high-quality, cost-effective roof installations and repairs, delivered with phenomenal customer service on schedule, in budget, and in compliance with all building regulations.”
When it comes to roofing technology, the future is foam.
Advancements in roofing technology have yielded an array of cutting-edge products and systems, but one innovation stands out as particularly unique: spray polyurethane foam roofing. “Unlike shingles or tiles, a polyurethane foam roof is sprayed on, after which it quickly expands into a seamless, monolithic membrane,” explains Gary Harvey, owner/CEO of Wedge Roofing in Petaluma. “By acting as both a thermal and moisture barrier, a spray foam roof provides superior insulation and waterproofing.”
Mr. Harvey explains what makes polyurethane foam such an effective insulator. “Polyurethane foam is the same material that insulates your refrigerator and freezer. Consider the fact that a mere half inch of this product makes your freezer’s interior temperature unnoticeable from the outside; now, imagine doubling that insulating value and applying it to your roof. Unlike traditional roof insulation, which merely reduces heat transfer, a polyurethane foam roof’s superior insulating ability allows it to completely block up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit of temperature transfer.”
Superior insulation isn’t the only advantage spray polyurethane foam roofs provide. Since they can be installed directly over most existing roof membranes, they represent a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly alternative to complete roof removal and replacement. The foam goes on seamlessly and bonds to whatever substrate is beneath it, with no shingles or fasteners required, which cuts down on material costs.
Despite their foam composition, spray polyurethane foam roofs are incredibly durable, often outlasting ostensibly sturdier roofing materials. “Spray foam roofs are able to withstand normal building movement without compromising the membrane’s integrity, and they also add to a structure’s shearing and racking strength,” explains Mr. Harvey. “That’s why you can find 50-year-old spray foam roofs throughout the Bay Area that are still intact and under warranty. A spray foam roof’s only real vulnerability is ultraviolet light, but this is easily addressed by applying a commercial-grade silicone coating. As long as you reapply its coating as needed, your spray polyurethane roof should be the last roof you ever install.”
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 Wedge Roofing, the key to keeping clients happy is providing them with the highest level of safety, performance, quality and professionalism. “From the initial contact with our front office to the final cleanup, we’re committed to making sure our clients have top-quality experiences,” says Owner/CEO Gary Harvey.
Wedge Roofing’s unyielding emphasis on professionalism drives the company to perfecting its trade. After years of education and practice, Wedge Roofing’s staff is now called upon to instruct and teach the next generation of roofing professionals. Wedge Roofing is one of the few contractors recognized by the California Apprenticeship Council with approval to train. Training of apprentices consists of a curriculum of book study as well as on-the-job instruction.
In the application of steep roofing systems, Wedge Roofing holds top honors such as GAF Master Elite Shingle Roofing Contractor and CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster™ Contractor. The company specializes in stone, slate, tile, metal and Fire Class A wood shake roofing. In addition to working on all traditional low-slope roofing systems, Wedge Roofing has earned the prestigious National Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA PCP) Contractor Company Accreditation, which shows a dedication to the most advanced techniques in the installation of spray foam and is awarded after rigorous training and testing. This accreditation is held by only 12 contractors throughout the United States. Wedge Roofing is the only SPFA PCP Accredited Contractor in the State of California.
Unlike less experienced roofing companies that offer a limited range of products, Wedge Roofing presents its clients with a full spectrum of options. “We can provide virtually any type of roofing system or material upon request,” affirms Mr. Harvey.
Yet another attribute that distinguishes Wedge Roofing from its competitors is its formidable breadth of experience and credentials. “We’ve been serving the Bay Area for more than 41 years, during which time we’ve earned a reputation for outstanding quality and dependability,” says Mr. Harvey. “Roofing is assembled onsite from thousands of components by the mechanics that the contractor sends out. Our clients can be assured that our crews are properly supervised and trained to use the best equipment and most advanced tools.”
