What Cardiff Homeowners Say
"Estate-grade craftsmanship. The copper flashing detail on our Cardiff chimney is something you rarely see anymore, and the ridge caps were hand-cut on site. If you own a home worth protecting, this is the roofer to call."

"California First Roofing replaced our Cardiff roof and the crew was flawless from the drone estimate to the final cleanup. They understood exactly what our home near Composer District needed for coastal salt spray and marine layer humidity. Fixed-price proposal, zero surprises, and the finished work looks better than the day the house was built."

Stainless fasteners, upgraded synthetic underlayment, and hidden flashing detail throughout. Solid 5-star experience — my neighbors have already asked for their number."
