San Jose is home to 136 licensed roofing contractors (C-39, CSLB September 2026) — #2 in California, about 3% of the 4,970 contractor licenses based here.
Nearby in Santa Clara County: Campbell (16), Santa Clara (13), Gilroy (11), Sunnyvale (11).
29% of San Jose's C-39 licensees hold more than one classification — most often B General Building Contractor (22%), C-33 Painting and Decorating Contractor (3%). Extra classifications can change how carriers rate your general liability and workers' comp, so list every license class when you quote.
Business structure: 29% sole owners, 63% corporations, 5% LLCs; median time licensed 10.3 years.
For roofers, underwriters focus first on: completed-operations claims when a leak shows up months or years after the job; and debris and dropped materials damaging vehicles, landscaping or neighboring property. See the full coverage guide for roofing contractors for limits, endorsements and workers' comp rules.
Asena Capital Insurance Services compares multiple markets for San Jose contractors and requests additional insured endorsements for you when a contract calls for them. Call (858) 925-9555 or request a quote — only your name, phone and email are required. CA License #6008596.
136 active C-39 licenses have a business address in San Jose (CSLB, September 2026); 92% carry workers' comp and 0% are filed exempt.
That is completed-operations coverage. Most contractor GL policies include it, but some roofing policies limit or exclude it — it is one of the first things we check when comparing quotes.
