Short answer: As of October 2026, the three highest-scoring roofing contractors in the Yuba City, CA metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score are All Rite Roofing (72.5), Western Valley Construction (63.0), 1 N Done Roofing Services (59.1). Each holds a certification we verified on the manufacturer’s own register, every rating was corroborated elsewhere, and placement on this page is not for sale.
The Roofing Brief scored 3 certified roofing contractors serving the Yuba City metro on a published, reproducible formula, then researched each of the top three individually to confirm its record. Yuba City and Marysville sit in a levee-protected basin where the roof threat is the south wind of a winter storm, not hail: five hail reports in a decade, against gusts of 67 and 68 mph at the county airport in 2024 and 2025. California licenses every roofer, and in this climate zone a reroof must also be a cool roof. Four certified firms appear in the directory for the metro; one is a Butte County home builder with no roofing licence, so three are ranked, all based in Yuba-Sutter, and five more licensed local roofers are listed.
What actually ages a Yuba City roof
California requires a Contractors State License Board licence for any job of $1,000 or more, and the small-job exemption never covers a reroof, because it applies only to work that needs no permit. Roofing is the C-39 classification; a general building contractor may include roofing in a multi-trade project but needs a C-39 or a licensed roofing subcontractor for a reroof on its own. Every C-39 holder must carry workers’ compensation whether or not it has employees, and every licence carries a $25,000 bond.
California’s home improvement rules cap a down payment at $1,000 or 10 percent of the price, whichever is less, and give you three business days to cancel, five if you are 65 or older, and seven days on a contract to repair damage from a declared emergency. California has no roofing-specific deductible statute of the Texas or Colorado kind. The 2025 California Building Standards Code has applied since 1 January 2026.
Every Yuba-Sutter ZIP code we checked is in Climate Zone 11, so replacing half or more of a roof brings the cool-roof rule: a steep-slope roof needs 0.20 aged solar reflectance, a low-slope one 0.63, with insulation trade-offs. Permit fees differ across the river: Yuba City prices permits by valuation, from a $268.15 minimum, while unincorporated Yuba County, which includes Olivehurst, Linda and Plumas Lake, charges a flat $190 for a reroof with roofing material only and $285 with sheathing.
The hail record is almost empty: five reports in Sutter and Yuba counties in ten years, the largest 1.25 inches, and three thunderstorm wind reports, with $7,000 of recorded damage. The weather that matters arrives in the rainy season, when Marysville averages nearly four inches in January and nothing in July. The metro’s median home was built in 1983, but Marysville’s dates from 1968, and 62.8 percent of its homes are rented.
The 3 best roofers in Yuba City, CA
Scored 2026-10-06. The metro mean rating used as the Bayesian prior for Yuba City is 4.725, across a pool of 3 certified contractors.
| Rank | Company | TRB Score | Certification | Rating (reviews) | Adjusted | In business since | Based in |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | All Rite Roofing | 72.5 | Master Elite | 4.4 (37) | 4.587 | not published | Yuba City, CA |
| 2 | Western Valley Construction | 63.0 | Certified | 4.8 (20) | 4.746 | 2014 | Olivehurst, CA |
| 3 | 1 N Done Roofing Services | 59.1 | Certified | 5.0 (12) | 4.778 | 2012 | Loma Rica, CA |
1. All Rite Roofing — TRB Score 72.5
All Rite Roofing is based in Yuba City, CA, led by John O’Neal II and Kyle O’Neal, officers since 2019 (CSLB), Not accredited; A+ rating; no complaints in three years, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: Master Elite (GAF), Owens Corning network member. Certification by more than one manufacturer is uncommon and requires meeting each programme’s separate standards for insurance, training and track record.
| Score component | Points | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Certification tier | 24 | 35 |
| Adjusted rating | 23.5 | 40 |
| Review corpus depth | 15.0 | 15 |
| Metro proximity | 10.0 | 10 |
| Total | 72.5 | 100 |
Independently corroborated:
- C-39 licence 714523, issued October 1995, current and active; the O’Neals took over as officers and qualifier in October 2019.. CSLB licence record
- A+ rating, not accredited, business start 1994, no complaints closed in three years; service area Yuba City, Marysville, Live Oak and Colusa.. BBB business profile
- Listed as an Owens Corning network contractor three miles from central Yuba City.. Owens Corning contractor locator
What they actually do. Residential and commercial reroofing, repair and maintenance, shingle and tile, gutters.
Why it ranks here. The established Yuba City roofer: a roofing-only firm on Industrial Drive holding a C-39 licence since 1995, with Master Elite certification and the clearest local service area in the pool.
Best fit for: Yuba City and Live Oak homeowners who want a long-licensed roofing specialist.
What we would want clarified. Ownership changed in 2019, when the founding Donenfeld family left the licence and the O’Neals took over, so directory listings naming the old owner and website copy about a family business of 20 years are out of date. Its 4.4 rating across 37 reviews is the lowest of the three. It is not BBB accredited. Certification tier and reviews are unverified. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.
Verify the certification yourself on the GAF registry listing. The number carried on that listing is (530) 749-7483, which is the registry’s contact line and is often a directory tracking number rather than the contractor’s own: take the number from the company’s own website and compare the two.
2. Western Valley Construction — TRB Score 63.0
Western Valley Construction is based in Olivehurst, CA, in business since 2014, led by Chad Wright, President and qualifier; Rebekah Wright, officer, BBB accredited since 29 July 2022, A+ rating, no complaints in three years, and holds Certified standing on the GAF certification registry.

- Accredited since 29 July 2022 with an A+ rating, business start March 2014, no complaints closed in three years.. BBB business profile
What they actually do. Tile, metal and composition roofing; water, fire and wind damage restoration; remodels.
Why it ranks here. An Olivehurst contractor, inside the metro near the county airport, holding both general building and C-39 roofing classifications, with a 4.8 across 20 reviews and a clean BBB file.
Best fit for: Roof replacement combined with storm or water damage restoration.
What we would want clarified. It is a general contractor and restoration firm first, with roofing one service line, and its marketing leans to Chico and Sacramento. Its workers’ compensation policy on file runs to 19 October 2026, so ask for the renewed certificate. Certification tier and reviews are unverified. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

3. 1 N Done Roofing Services — TRB Score 59.1
1 N Done Roofing Services is based in Loma Rica, CA, in business since 2012, led by Octavio Rosas Gonzalez, President and qualifier, BBB accredited since 16 April 2026, A+ rating, no complaints in three years, and holds Certified standing on the GAF certification registry.

- Accredited since 16 April 2026 with an A+ rating, business start October 2012; service area includes Yuba and Sutter counties.. BBB business profile
What they actually do. Residential and commercial reroofs and repairs, metal roofing, inspections and leak repair.
Why it ranks here. A roofing-only firm in the Loma Rica foothills of Yuba County, licensed as a roofer since 2012, with a perfect 5.0 across 12 reviews.
Best fit for: Foothill and Marysville-side homeowners who want a roofing-only firm.
What we would want clarified. Its licence renews on 30 November 2026 and its workers’ compensation policy on file expires on 13 October 2026, so confirm both before signing. Its BBB accreditation dates only from April 2026, and 12 reviews is a thin base. Certification tier and reviews are unverified.

10 severe weather reports in a decade, and why that matters in Yuba City
Aggregate hail counts tell you very little about a specific roof. These are the individual events: every severe-weather report logged by the National Weather Service across the 2 counties of the Yuba City, CA statistical area over ten years, with the dates, the stone sizes and the towns they landed on. Over that decade the metro logged 5 hail reports, 3 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 2 tornadoes. The database’s property-damage fields are left blank for most of these reports, so it carries no usable loss total for this metro and we do not quote one.
The biggest hail to fall on Yuba City in a decade
| Date | Stone size | Reported near | County |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 May 2016 | 1.25 in | Yuba City | Sutter |
| 5 May 2016 | 1.0 in | Yuba City | Sutter |
| 5 May 2016 | 1.0 in | Yuba City | Sutter |
| 23 January 2017 | 1.0 in | Yuba City South | Sutter |
| 30 May 2020 | 1.0 in | Brownsville | Yuba |
The largest stone on record for this metro fell on 5 May 2016 near Yuba City, measured at 1.25 inches. One inch is the point at which hail starts bruising asphalt shingles, which is damage an adjuster can find even when a homeowner cannot.
Wind. The strongest thunderstorm gust logged in the metro was 50 knots, about 58 mph, near Yuba City South on 2 February 2019. Asphalt shingles begin lifting at roughly 67 mph when they are correctly nailed, and considerably below that when they are not.
Tornadoes. 2 tornadoes touched down in these counties over the decade, the strongest rated EF0 near Arboga on 21 March 2018.
What the National Weather Service wrote about it
The NWS logs a written account of each severe-weather episode. This is its description of the 16 September 2019 event near Marysville, reproduced verbatim:
A walnut tree was snapped 3 miles north of Marysville on highway 70. Time stamp of wind gust damage is estimated based on radar.
That is what the specification has to anticipate here, written up by the agency that recorded it rather than by a contractor selling the repair.
When it happens. Severe weather reports cluster in May (4), January (2), February (2). The worst years on record were 2016 (3), 2019 (3), 2017 (1). If you are scheduling non-urgent work in Yuba City, the months outside that window are when crews are least stretched and least likely to be triaging emergency callouts ahead of your job.
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database, county-level detail files 2016 to 2025, filtered to the counties of this statistical area by The Roofing Brief. Damage figures are as reported to the NWS and undercount insured losses.
What to do with this. Hail is not the governing risk in Yuba City. Weight your decision toward wind rating, ventilation and flashing detail rather than paying extra for impact-rated shingles.
Wind and water, not hail
Federal storm records list just five hail reports in Sutter and Yuba counties from 2016 to 2025, three of them on a single afternoon in May 2016, the largest 1.25 inches. Over the same decade the NWS forecast zone covering the valley floor logged nine high wind events, and those are the storms that damage roofs here.
On 4 February 2024 Yuba County Airport recorded a 68 mph gust. NOAA records an elderly man killed when a large redwood fell on his home and crushed him; Sutter County’s emergency office closed four schools, reported more than 11,000 customers without power and proclaimed a local emergency. On 24 and 25 December 2025 southerly gusts of 50 to 80 mph swept the central Sacramento Valley, with 67 mph at the county airport and 63 at Beale Air Force Base.
Even the area’s tornado record is a winter story: an EF0 south of Yuba City on 2 February 2019 knocked down several trees and left minor roof damage to a home.
Behind the wind is water. In February 2017 FEMA declared an emergency for the potential failure of the Oroville Dam spillway, upstream, covering both counties, and more than 180,000 people downstream were ordered to evacuate. Five of Sutter County’s six non-pandemic federal declarations since 2016 are winter storm or flood events, and Yuba City’s 2026 permit worksheet carries a levee improvement fee per square foot on every new home.
For a Yuba-Sutter homeowner that means the questions to ask are about wind and trees: what wind rating the shingle carries, how the edges and ridge will be fastened, and what the roofer does about overhanging limbs. In a basin where many homes are older, especially in Marysville, ask too what the roofer will do if the sheathing under the old roof is soft.

Before you sign anything in Yuba City
Licensing is required in CA. California requires a Contractors State License Board licence for any job where labour and materials combined reach $1,000 or more, a threshold raised from $500 by Assembly Bill 2622 on 1 January 2025. The exemption never covers a reroof: under Business and Professions Code 7048 it applies only to minor work under $1,000 that needs no building permit, and is lost if the person employs anyone or advertises as a contractor. Roofing is the C-39 classification. A B General Building contractor may include roofing in a multi-trade project, but a stand-alone reroof needs a C-39 licence or a licensed roofing subcontractor (B&P 7057).
A C-39 qualifier must document at least four years of journey-level experience and normally passes both a trade examination and a law and business examination unless a statutory waiver applies. Every active licence carries a $25,000 contractor’s bond, and C-39 roofing licensees must carry workers’ compensation whether or not they have employees: roofing is one of the few classifications that cannot file the no-employee exemption.
Check here: CSLB Check a License. The CSLB record also shows complaint and disciplinary history, including citations and accusations. Treat any status other than Active as disqualifying.
Four checks to run before you sign anything, in any state.
- Verify certification at the source. Use the GAF verification tool rather than trusting a badge image on a company website.
- Get the certificate of insurance from the insurer, not the contractor, and confirm general liability and workers compensation are both active on the day work starts.
- Confirm who pulls the permit. If a contractor asks you to pull it as the homeowner, that moves liability onto you. Decline.
- Get warranty terms in writing before any deposit, and check the manufacturer warranty being promised actually requires the certification tier the contractor holds.
How many certified roofers Yuba City actually has
3 certified roofing contractors serve the principal cities of the Yuba City, CA statistical area, of which 0 hold the top President’s Club tier. The pool carries 69 customer reviews between them at a mean rating of 4.725.

How these Yuba City rankings were produced
Every contractor in the Yuba City, CA pool was scored out of 100 on four published components: certification tier, a Bayesian adjusted rating, review depth and distance from the metro centre. In this metro that meant scoring 3 certified contractors, of whom 0 hold President’s Club standing and 1 Master Elite, against a metro mean rating of 4.725. The top three were then researched individually against Better Business Bureau records, state licence registers and manufacturer directories. The findings are printed above whether they flatter the contractor or not, and nobody paid to appear.
Set aside in Yuba City. A contractor that would otherwise have scored into the top three was removed for the reason stated. The score is computed from public data, but where the research pass finds evidence undermining an input to that score, the score is set aside.
- Cornerstone Construction, which scored 57.8: Excluded on service area and core trade. It is based in Oroville, Butte County, and its website names only Butte County areas. It holds a general building licence with no C-39 roofing classification and describes itself as a builder of custom homes and remodels, with roofing one service among many.

The largest hailstone logged by the National Weather Service in the Yuba City, CA statistical area between 2016 and 2025 measured 1.25 inches, reported near Yuba City on 5 May 2016. One inch is the point at which hail starts bruising asphalt shingles, which is damage an adjuster can find even when a homeowner cannot. Across the decade the metro recorded 5 hail reports.

When is the worst time of year for roof damage in Yuba City?
Severe-weather reports in the Yuba City, CA statistical area cluster in May, January, February, on the NOAA record for 2016 to 2025. If the work can wait, booking outside that window usually buys you shorter lead times and more of the contractor’s attention.
Do roofers need a licence in CA?
California requires a Contractors State License Board licence for any job where labour and materials combined reach $1,000 or more, a threshold raised from $500 by Assembly Bill 2622 on 1 January 2025. The exemption never covers a reroof: under Business and Professions Code 7048 it applies only to minor work under $1,000 that needs no building permit, and is lost if the person employs anyone or advertises as a contractor. Roofing is the C-39 classification. A B General Building contractor may include roofing in a multi-trade project, but a stand-alone reroof needs a C-39 licence or a licensed roofing subcontractor (B&P 7057). A C-39 qualifier must document at least four years of journey-level experience and normally passes both a trade examination and a law and business examination unless a statutory waiver applies.

The CSLB record also shows complaint and disciplinary history, including citations and accusations. Treat any status other than Active as disqualifying.
Wind and water, not hail?

Over the same decade the NWS forecast zone covering the valley floor logged nine high wind events, and those are the storms that damage roofs here.
Is Yuba City a hard market to find a good roofer in?
Yuba City and Marysville sit in a levee-protected basin where the roof threat is the south wind of a winter storm, not hail: five hail reports in a decade, against gusts of 67 and 68 mph at the county airport in 2024 and 2025. California licenses every roofer, and in this climate zone a reroof must also be a cool roof. Four certified firms appear in the directory for the metro; one is a Butte County home builder with no roofing licence, so three are ranked, all based in Yuba-Sutter, and five more licensed local roofers are listed.
Why is Cornerstone Construction not on this list?
Excluded on service area and core trade. It is based in Oroville, Butte County, and its website names only Butte County areas. It holds a general building licence with no C-39 roofing classification and describes itself as a builder of custom homes and remodels, with roofing one service among many..
