Our San Ramon reroofs have included wood repair and insulation. The seasonal tear-off procedure changes how exposed conditions are documented while keeping the required inspections in place.

Permit
Roof replacement permits in San Ramon
We pull it and schedule the inspections. It’s billed at the city’s actual cost, separate from the roof.
Permit authority
City of San Ramon Building and Safety Services
Permit planning
ARS allows approximately one week for permits unless the department confirms a shorter route; issuance is not guaranteed.
Past ARS permit cost
Our March 2024 San Ramon reroof invoice listed $686.28 as the contractor-billed permit charge. That historical invoice amount is a budgeting example; it is not a municipal payment receipt or today’s quote for your roof.
Permit fee planning
San Ramon’s FY2026/27 reroof base is $160 for the first 100 square feet, plus $19 for each additional 100 square feet. Issuance, applicable energy and technology charges, and state fees can add to that calculation; request the complete assessment for your roof.
From the San Ramon building department and our own project records. Content reviewed October 11, 2026; inspection guidance checked October 10, 2026. Fees change, so we confirm yours when we pull the permit.
Inspections
Inspections and booking
Deck and sheathing — Normal sequence: tear-off inspection with sheathing exposed; replace damaged wood first. New plywood requires a roof-nailing inspection once fully nailed. October 15-April 15: San Ramon’s inclement-weather procedure substitutes a signed damage-condition letter/sketch for the early tear-off visit, permits felt for waterproofing, and requires later inspection with random felt pullbacks. It does not waive inspection.
In-progress — Required after starter roofing is installed: normally at least two bundles of shingles per roof section. The winter procedure specifies one-half square, then calling for tear-off/nailing/in-progress inspections with the letter available and felt pulled back as directed.
Final closeout — Final on completed roof; signed Title 24 paperwork and smoke/CO affidavit. Where PV was removed, obtain the separate reinstallation permit before roof final and pass roof final before reinstalling PV modules.
Scheduling — Request through San Ramon’s current CSS account and check Today’s Inspections for the time and inspector. Confirm the cutoff and availability with Building at 925-973-2580 before arranging tear-off.

Shake removal and a custom chimney saddle
A March 2024 San Ramon replacement record includes shake removal, new backing and sheathing, CertainTeed Presidential shingles and a custom fireplace saddle. It also lists a solar-powered attic fan with a thermostat. A September 2025 replacement used a 60-mil TPO cricket alongside the composition roof. These historical assemblies illustrate two different scopes; the current permit, roof condition and chosen system determine the new work.

Questions for this project
What repair size needs a roof permit?
San Ramon requires a permit when more than 200 square feet of roofing is installed, repaired or replaced. Structural changes and other work still need their applicable permits and review.
