Roofing Work We Do on Pasadena Homes and Buildings
A roof repair deals with one defined part of an existing roof. We reset slipped tile, patch shingle, and rebuild the flashing at walls, chimneys and valleys. If water is showing inside the building, tell us where you see it and when it started.
A full roof replacement covers the entire building rather than a single area. We strip the old covering down to the wood deck and replace boards that have deteriorated. Then we lay down new underlayment before we install the finished roofing material.
Additions and new construction usually reach us as architectural drawings from a builder or an owner. We quote the roof from those plans and then build it. If you're building from supplied plans, our new roof installation page explains how we handle that work.
Deciding Between a Roof Repair and a Full Roof Replacement
The right choice depends on the actual condition of your roof. That comes down to the covering, the flashing at walls and chimneys, and the layer that sits underneath.
We go through the options with you in plain language and make a recommendation. You decide what you want done, and the roofing quote is free either way.
Bring us into it early if you are not sure which one you need. Tell us what you have noticed and we will work through it with you.
Residential Roofing for Pasadena Homes and Small Apartment Buildings
Residential roofing here covers single family homes, duplexes, townhomes and small apartment buildings. We work on the pitched roof and on any flat section attached to it. Our residential roofing page covers the full range of that work.
Tile roofing is a different job from shingle work, and it is common on older Pasadena streets. Clay, concrete and slate tile all rest on an underlayment, and that hidden layer keeps water out.
When the tile itself is still in good shape, the work often replaces what sits under it. Our tile underlayment replacement page explains that job and when it makes sense for a roof.
Commercial Roofing for Business and Property Owners
We roof storefronts, offices, medical suites, restaurants and small industrial buildings around Pasadena. Commercial work usually involves a flat or low slope roof, where drains, vents and rooftop units complicate the installation.
Property managers call us about ponding water, split seams and a leak over a tenant space. Drains, seams and the flashing around every curb and unit all affect the quote.
Some buildings call for a single ply membrane, and we install TPO roofing when that fits the deck. On other low slope roofs we make the case for a torch down system instead. Start on our commercial roofing page if you own or manage a building in Pasadena.
Roofing Materials and Systems We Install and Repair
These are the roofing systems we work on around Pasadena, and each one has its own page. Plenty of buildings carry two of them at once, and we can take on both.
- Asphalt shingle roofs carry overlapping shingles laid in courses across a pitched slope. Our asphalt shingle roofing page has the detail.
- Clay, concrete and slate tile sits over an underlayment, and that underlayment does the waterproofing.
- Flat and low slope roofs have very little pitch, so we seal the covering at the seams. Our flat roofing page covers that work.
- Torch down modified bitumen is the system we usually put over a flat deck. Our torch down roofing page explains how we put it on.
- Standing seam metal uses long panels joined at raised seams with hidden fasteners, and our metal roofing page covers it.
What Goes Into a Roofing Quote
Several things about the building shape a roofing quote, and the size of the roof counts for most. Pitch and the number of stories matter too, and so does access, because material goes up and debris comes down.
What is already on the roof matters just as much. We have to tear off extra layers before we install new material. Once we strip the old covering off, we replace any rotted decking.
Tile adds hand labor, because we lift sound tile off and set it back piece by piece. Walls, chimneys and valleys add work as well, since every one of them needs flashing.
A property inside a mapped fire hazard severity zone can face different requirements for the finished roof assembly. Call (626) 240-1360 and describe your roof in your own words. We will talk you through what that means for your building, and the quote is free.
Free Roofing Quotes and Paid Roof Inspection Reports
Our estimate and the written roofing quote that follows it are genuinely free. A detailed roof inspection with a written report is paid work. Call (626) 240-1360 and we will tell you the current fee for that report.
The two documents answer different questions: a quote sets out work we propose to carry out for you. A report documents the condition of the roof for a buyer, a seller or an insurer.
Ask for a documented roof report by name when another party has asked you for that paperwork. Ask for a quote when you want us to bid the actual roofing work.
Older Pasadena Roofs, Permits and Fire Hazard Maps
Pasadena has a considerable amount of older housing, and roof coverings age along with the buildings they sit on. About 73 percent of the city's 62,853 housing units were constructed before 1980. We keep that in mind whenever we look at an older roof.
Which documents a roofing project requires depends entirely on the scope of the work. We help property owners pull the required roofing permit from the city with jurisdiction. The City of Pasadena publishes current requirements at its Permit Center.
Parts of Pasadena sit inside mapped High or Very High fire hazard severity zones. That mapping can change the requirements a replacement roof assembly has to satisfy. The City publishes its fire hazard severity zone map, where you can look up your own address.
Some blocks also sit inside designated landmark districts, where the City can review a change of roofing material. We raise that with you before the roofing scope is finalized.

Roofing Questions Pasadena Callers Ask
Are your roofing quotes really free?
Yes, our estimate and the written roofing quote that follows it are both free. That applies to a small repair and to a full replacement, so call (626) 240-1360 and ask.
Is a roof inspection free as well?
No, a detailed roof inspection and its written report are paid work. Ask about the current fee when you call (626) 240-1360.
Do you take small roof repairs?
Yes, we take leaks, slipped or cracked tile, shingle patches and failed flashing. We handle full replacements on the same kinds of buildings.
Water is coming through my tile roof. Do I need new tile?
A leak does not always mean you need new tile. The underlayment beneath the tile is often the layer that failed, and that work happens beneath your existing tile. Tell us what you are seeing and we will help you work out which applies.
Do you help with the roofing permit?
Yes, we help property owners pull the required roofing permit from the city with jurisdiction. What your project needs depends on its scope, and the City confirms that for the address.
Do you work on flat roofs and commercial buildings?
Yes, flat and low slope roofing is a large part of our work. Torch down modified bitumen is our usual system over a flat deck, and we install TPO as well.
