Company Overview

We employ qualified and knowledgeable roofing technicians for residential projects. We are committed to delivering quality workmanship. We prioritize the well-being of our team, your loved ones, and your home. We cherish our community and proudly stand as #SonomaStrong.

Here’s a glimpse into how we’ve gained the confidence of Sonoma County homeowners since 1962.

Palmer Roofing is a family-owned business that has been a cornerstone of Sonoma County for nearly six decades. In 1962, PFC Dean Palmer launched Palmer Roofing in Petaluma after serving in World War II. Inspired by his father’s work ethic, Herb picked up a hammer and learned the roofing trade. During his high school summers, Herb spent time on roofs, perfecting his skills and ensuring customer satisfaction.

After taking over the business in 1981, Herb continued to advance its legacy. He operated as a sole proprietor until 1986, when Palmer Roofing became incorporated. In 2008, GAF recognized Palmer Roofing for its exceptional quality and service.

Nearly 60 years later, Palmer Roofing remains committed to its core values of hard work, precision, and customer satisfaction. Dean Palmer founded Palmer Roofing in 1962. His son Herb took ownership in 1981. In April 2024, Herb retired, and Jhonathan Rivera Batres, an employee for eight years, acquired the company. For the past eight years, I’ve had the honor of working under Herb Palmer. Everything I know about roofing comes from Herb’s teachings. In April 2024, I acquired Palmer Roofing and remain alongside the same committed team. It’s an honor to uphold the Palmer Roofing name and ensure this great small business continues to flourish!

Herb is Great! We really didn't need a new roof on my daughter's house, but the insurance company was requiring it due to ""granulation"". Apparently a number of insurance companies are looking for reasons to get out of the Santa Rosa area - gee really? We got 5 estimates and went with Palmer. Herb and his crew were timely, efficient and responsive. We did have a problem with the clean up on the first day, but a discussion with Herb was all it took and the place was spotless at the end of Day Two! They removed a tube/cap that was no longer in use, patching the hole; they also removed a satellite dish that was no longer needed at no additional charge. Herb was honest (told us we didn't need a new roof for 3 to 5 years), reasonably priced and responsive to our concerns. I would highly recommend this company to anyone!

Our roof presented some unforeseen challenges for Herb as previous roof had been laid over the original roof. Herb kept us well informed throughout the process, his crew was very respectful of our home, and cleaned up after themselves very thoroughly. We appreciated the professionalism of Herb and his crew. They finished on time and did a beautiful job. We highly recommend Herb and his crew.

We just got our flat roof on a house we bought last year replaced by Herb Palmer and his crew. The previous roof he was replacing was done very poorly so we were happy to have someone who was confident enough about his work that he gave us a fantastic warranty period. He was very informative of his process and what needed to be done during the entire re-roofing, giving us the opportunity to see the damage he was taking care of and explaining every step of the way what he was uncovering. On top of his excellent work he was very personable and enjoyable to talk to. It is so hard to find people who are this fantastic to do work for you- I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Herb Palmer is a top notch professional. We were in urgent need of repairs to a chimney and he took our call when many others couldn't be bothered. He is clearly very knowledgeable and could intuit what our problem turned out to be just in the initial phone call. He was compassionate and caring about our difficult situation. I was very impressed and would certainly give him a call again.

Herb Palmer is a true professional in his field. He shows up on time, and does what he says he is going to do. We have an old house that the last roofer made mistakes on, Herb fixed them. Gave great advice on colors of gutters, which enhanced the roof tiles. Herb treated our house like it was his, with respect. Cleaned up after he was finished, reasonably priced. I give him my highest recommendation, 5++++ stars.

We had a wonderful experience in dealing with Herb Palmer and his crew. They were clean' prompt' polite' and very diligent in getting our job done. We had a 'not so typical' quite difficult job with a tear off' added ventilation' siding to remove' new wall-roof flashing to be installed (which hadn't been properly installed originally) plywood to repair' trim boards to be added/replaced caulked painted etc. It came out perfect. No remodel looking hodgepodge mess. Herb made a suggestion to use a 40 year Malarkey roofing product and were glad that he did. Its very nice looking lite weight (made with recycled materials) and considerably more quiet in rain storms. The added ventilation (Herb's suggestion) is already helping out on warm days. Herb also suggested we tear off the old roof' and again were glad we did as we found wood rot. We cannot say enough good things about Palmer Roofing the entire experience was a pleasure. We highly recommend Herb Palmer/Palmer Roofing Company. They don't cut corners and do an excellent job.

We just had our split-level home re-roofed by Herb Palmer, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the result. Exceptional in every respect. He and his crew were respectful, professional, always arrived on time, worked hard and fast, and cleaned up at the end of every day. To our amazement he actually charged us less than the quote in the agreed-upon signed contract because he was able to finish early. We would recommend Palmer Roofing to anyone who wants top-quality workmanship from a dependable honest contractor. Thank you Herb!

Herb Palmer is highly experienced and knowledgeable. He got the job done ahead of schedule and at a competitive rate. His four-man crew worked steadily and expertly. Herb makes sure that all employer mandates and safety concerns are taken care of. He brought the right equipment to the job. Above all, he's a really nice guy you can trust.

Herb Palmer did the roof inspection on a home we were looking to buy. He was fabulous. We were only given a 10 day period for inspections and he was able to come in and write the report within three days of us calling! He thoroughly inspected it, went through all the details in person with me, then wrote up the report with pictures very quickly (and did a great job with it). We were very happy with our experience and highly recommend him.
