AfterRoofers in San Martin, CA
Roofing work in San Martin demands a contractor who understands both residential ranch homes and agricultural outbuildings under Santa Clara County jurisdiction. We’re Tilehurst Roofing, a Kingswell family company founded in 2000, and our crews serve San Martin from our Bay Area dispatch office. Call (945) 303-9821 to schedule your free estimate.
San Martin isn’t incorporated, so every permit runs through Santa Clara County Building and Planning, not a city office. The housing stock here is unlike neighboring Morgan Hill or Gilroy: sprawling single-story ranches on one-acre-plus lots, many with original wood shake or three-tab shingles from the 1960s through 1980s, plus barns, arena covers, and hay storage structures that suburban roofers rarely touch. The Hecker Pass corridor funnels marine layer and fog from the Salinas Valley, keeping roofs damp through winter and spring, then summer heat spikes to the mid-90s and low 100s. That moisture-to-heat cycling is hard on flashings and low-slope sections common to older ranch construction.
Why San Martin Homes Are Different
San Martin’s unincorporated status changes how every job starts. No city inspector signs off; Santa Clara County handles permits, inspections, and code enforcement. That means longer permit turnaround than incorporated cities nearby, and it means your roofer needs to know County-specific requirements for both residential and agricultural structures.
The housing stock tells the story. Most homes are single-story ranch-style builds from the 1950s through 1980s on parcels of one acre or more. Many still carry original wood shake or three-tab asphalt shingles at or past end of life. But the real difference is the agricultural footprint: barns, arena covers, accessory structures with corrugated metal roofing installed in the 1960s through 1980s with minimal fastener sealing. The agricultural dust and dew cycling on the valley floor rusts fastener holes beyond what’s visible from the ground. What looks like a patch from below often becomes a full re-panel once we’re on the structure.
Climate here is more coastal than the map suggests. The Hecker Pass opening pulls Pacific moisture inland, so moss, lichen, and algae growth on asphalt and wood shake runs heavier than in drier parts of Santa Clara County. Summer heat then bakes that moisture out rapidly, stressing expansion joints, flashing seals, and low-slope membrane sections that were never designed for that swing.
Our Main San Martin Services

What San Martin Customers Say
"Called about a few missing shingles after a windy night. They came out, fixed it, and didn't try to turn it into a huge project. Charged exactly what was quoted. Refreshing."
- Stephanie R."They repaired a spot that another company had "fixed" twice. Tilehurst found what the others missed and it finally stopped leaking. Should have called them first."
- Denise Ackerman"Full replacement after the last hail storm. They wrote up everything, worked with my insurance, and the crew cleaned the yard so well I couldn't find a single nail. Done in two days like they said."
