“After several years of living with leaking hotel rooms (and after numerous attempts by other roofing contractors to fix them), we contacted Fidelity Roof Company. Fidelity found that most of the leaks weren’t related to our roof at all – they were coming from our windows! We’ve since retained Fidelity as our permanent roofing consultant. Following their recommendations has saved us a significant amount of money.”

Ernest M. Upshaw established Fidelity Roof Company in 1948. Post WWII found Northern California full of growth and promise. The economy was strong, and growth was evident by new construction of homes, schools, and commercial and industrial buildings.
At the time, Mr. Upshaw was manager of one of the largest roofing companies in the area. After 10 years of employment, he committed himself to establishing a new company. He recruited a group of like-minded roofing professionals who were: “dedicated to the faithful attention of the roofing needs of home and business owners alike.”
It would have been natural for Mr. Upshaw to name the new company after himself. However, he wanted to ensure that his new endeavor was not so much about him, but more about what his team would provide each and every day to all customers.
The creation of Fidelity Roof Company was and still is, the embodiment of the word FIDELITY.
Fidelity Roof continues Mr. Upshaw’s vision today through its team of professionals, dedicated to these ideals.
In California, persons performing contracting work of $500 or more are required to hold a contractor’s license issued by the Contractors State Licensing Board for the type of work being performed.
Unlicensed contractors can expose you to property damage and financial harm, as well as personal liability, should someone get injured while performing work on your behalf. The Contractors State Licensing Board’s web site, www.cslb.ca.gov, allows you to check on a contractor’s licensing status, specifically if the contractor is properly bonded and insured, and if any legal action has been taken against the licenses.
Fidelity Roof Company has been a licensed contractor in the state of California since its inception in 1948, and its low Contractor License number 156017 is a testament to its longevity.
