Roofers in Altadena, CA: roof repair, replacement and leaks

Heat wears on roofs here: the Pasadena weather station averages 74 days a year at 90 degrees or higher, so sun and repeated heating and cooling crack and curl older materials. Roof repair covers leaks, damaged flashing and loose or lifted sections, and the inspection finds where the water is getting in. The written estimate lists the repair and its cost before work starts. Call to describe what you see and request the estimate.

In ZIP codes 91001 and 91003 data, 90.6% of homes were built before 1980 and the median home dates to 1945, so many roofs are on a second or later covering. A replacement job starts with an inspection of the decking, flashing and vents, since older homes tend to hide problems under the shingles. You then get a written estimate that spells out the work before anything begins. Call to book the inspection and ask for the written estimate.

Los Angeles County's most recent federal disaster declaration, on April 13, 2024, covered severe winter storms, tornadoes, flooding, landslides and mudslides. When a storm opens your roof, emergency repair means tarping and stopping the leak, then an inspection and a written estimate for the permanent fix. Call 24 hours a day, and check your attic after the next heavy rain.
