A local owner/operator running a single crew. In their own words: “We do one roof at a time.” Clay Saunders is the owner/operator, the work defaults to the highest grade materials, and the warranties are transferable and often extendable.
Roofs first, and the exterior work that usually comes with them.
Shingle, shake shingle and flat roofing, installed by the owner's own crew, one roof at a time.
Repair, restoration and metal flashing — the work that buys a sound roof more years before replacement.
The business also trades as Beethoven's Roofing & Gutter Works. Gutters are part of the job here, not an afterthought.
Their listing puts it plainly: “We are a local traditional owner / operator running a single crew. We do one roof at a time.” The work defaults to the highest grade materials and workmanship, and the warranties are transferable and often extendable.
Clay Saunders, the founder, describes it on his own site as “over 20 years of experience with my own successful company, Beethoven Roofing Works.” Beyond roofs, that means exterior residential restoration work — dry rot, siding, and the details that decide whether a roof lasts.
“Beethoven's Gutter Works and Roofing started as a way to support music in public schools. Our love of music and public education has been our driving force since 2010. To date, we have written hundreds of checks that our clients send in to the Berkeley Public School Fund, who in turn writes grants directly to teachers.”
