Flat Roof Leak Repair in South Berkeley & Lorin
South Berkeley and the Lorin District have smaller flatlands lots and a mix of older homes with additions, garages, and rear units that frequently carry flat or low-slope roofing.
Smaller Lots, More Add-On Structures
South Berkeley and Lorin lots tend to run smaller than the Hills or North Berkeley, which historically meant more creative use of the available space — garages converted to living area, rear additions, and detached structures, many of them flat-roofed. That’s exactly the kind of construction where the original roofing material may not have been correctly matched to a flat application in the first place.
