The Family That Keeps Buildings Dry
Family-owned by Fernando and Gustavo Salguero, and also known as Silver Leaf Construction. A decade of roofing and waterproofing across Southern California — and a phone that gets answered.
One Family, One Trade
Silver Leaf Roofing & Waterproofing is the family-owned company of Fernando and Gustavo Salguero, with a decade of roofing and waterproofing experience across Southern California. The company works out of Van Nuys, in the middle of the San Fernando Valley, and the crews are not fenced into one valley: they work Los Angeles County, the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys, the Conejo Valley, the Westside and the coast, and they travel with the full scope on board. Distance changes the drive, not what we can do once we are there.
California treats roofing and waterproofing as a single discipline — sealing, waterproofing, and weatherproofing structures. We think that is exactly right, and it is the whole company in one sentence: shingle and tile overhead, membranes on decks and flat roofs, sealed walls below grade before the dirt goes back. One trade, practiced everywhere water tries to get in.
Four kinds of calls come in, and they are not the same conversation. A homeowner watching a stain spread across a bedroom ceiling wants to know whether this is a repair or a replacement. A property manager or HOA board wants a scope a board can read and a crew that can work around an occupied building. Someone holding a balcony inspection report wants the flagged work repaired and documented. And someone standing under an active drip wants a truck. We take all four, and each one gets answered in its own language rather than a version of the other three.
Two Names On The Paperwork
You will see this family under two names, and both are real. On the state's records the roofing side is Silver Leaf Roofing And Waterproofing, license 1121960, classification C39 — Roofing, qualified by Fernando. The name plenty of people already know us by, Silver Leaf Construction, is its own California corporation: Silver Leaf Construction Inc., license 1091553, classification B — General Building, qualified by Gustavo. One address on Valjean, one family, one number to call: (818) 747-1131.
We spell that out because a property manager running vendor paperwork, or an owner checking a contractor before anyone gets on the roof, should not have to guess whether two names mean two stories. Both numbers sit in the footer of every page on this site, and either one opens the state's own register on the word “current and active” — without taking our word for any of it.
One name that is not us: Silver Leaf Landscape is our sister company — same family, separate business, separate license, its own crews. If you came here looking for landscape design or grounds work rather than a roof, they are the ones you want.
What We Believe
- 01
The Site Is Clean Every Day
Tear-off is messy; our job sites aren't. The crew sweeps, stacks, and tarps before leaving — every day, not just the last one.
- 02
The Scope Arrives In Writing
Before any work starts you get photos and a written scope: what is failing, what it needs, and what it costs. You should never have to remember what a roofer said.
- 03
We Answer The Phone
Before the job, during it, and after the last truck leaves. 7 days a week. It's a promise you can test right now: (818) 747-1131.
- 04
Premium Is Shown, Not Claimed
Adjectives don't keep water out, so we spend them sparingly. Judge the work in the portfolio instead: every clip is our own crew on our own job.
What a decade of keeping buildings dry adds up to.

How Every Job Runs
- 01
Inspect
Up on the roof, and underneath the deck when that is where the water is. Someone looks at the thing itself and writes down what is actually there.
- 02
Scope
The findings, the photos, and the price, in a document you keep.
- 03
Build
Our own crews do the work, and the finished job matches the scope you approved.
What Clients Have Said
Four notes clients left us on our previous website, kept word for word.
Full roof replacement
From start to finish, our experience with Silver Leaf Construction was top-notch. We needed a full roof replacement on our home, and their team guided us expertly through choosing materials, weighing the pros and cons of asphalt shingles versus tile. Work began promptly, with the crew working efficiently yet carefully cleaning up at the end of each day made a big difference for us. The new roof looks beautiful and is built to last. Their professionalism and commitment to quality truly stand out!
— Former Client Balcony waterproofing
They did a really good job of guiding me through the process of waterproofing my balcony. Really liked working with these guys.
— Luis A. Balcony waterproofing
Silver Leaf Construction turned our leaky balcony into a worry‑free space. Their crew arrived on time, communicated every step clearly, and completed the job ahead of schedule. We appreciated their deep understanding of waterproofing from deck membranes to drainage solutions. The craftsmanship is top-tier, and you can tell they genuinely care about protecting properties. They've truly earned our trust and our future business.
— Former Client Pool-area waterproofing
I recently had Silver Leaf Construction waterproof my pool area and couldn't be happier. From the initial consultation to the final check, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and exceptionally tidy. They explained the best waterproofing options, tailored to our pool's unique structure, and executed the job flawlessly. The work looks superb, no cracks, no leaks, just peace of mind. Highly recommend their expertise and attention to detail!
