Roof Inspections
We perform detailed roof inspections for homes and businesses across Pasadena. Our process covers flashing, gutters, shingles, roof membranes, and any problem areas that can lead to leaks or structural issues. Our inspection protocols are important for Pasadena's historic homes, including those in the 800-home Bungalow Heaven historic district, where maintaining architectural integrity is essential.
We use checklists and photos to create a simple report. Homeowners looking to buy or sell a property can rely on our inspections for peace of mind. Business owners use our assessments to plan maintenance or improvements and prevent expensive repairs. With Pasadena homes having a median value well above the national average, our thorough inspections help protect your valuable real estate investment.
If we find issues, we clearly explain your options. We never push services you do not need. We're familiar with the unique roofing considerations for homes in all Pasadena neighborhoods, from the historic Orange Grove Boulevard area (once known as "Millionaire's Row") to newer developments throughout the city.
Our inspections help extend your roof's life and ensure your property stays safe in all weather. This is especially important given Pasadena's climate data showing average precipitation of 4.51 inches in January, 5.16 inches in February, and other significant rainfall months that can test roof integrity.
Roof Repairs
Our crew repairs leaks, storm damage, broken shingles, and other common roofing problems. We respond quickly when you notice interior stains, missing tiles, or roof leaks. With Pasadena experiencing around 42.7 days of measurable precipitation annually, prompt roof repairs are essential to prevent water damage.
First, we identify the source of the problem and explain our findings. Then, we offer clear repair estimates and review what needs to be done. Our team is prepared to address damage from all weather conditions, including the rare snow events like the one in February 2019 when Pasadena received 1 inch of snowfall.
Our repairs use materials that match your existing roof whenever possible. W45e take care to prevent debris from falling onto landscaping or walkways. We're particularly careful when working on historically significant properties, like those in Pasadena's landmark districts where maintaining architectural authenticity is crucial.
We keep you informed throughout the repair so you know what to expect. After finishing, we check that the problem is fixed before leaving your property. Our repair protocols are designed with Pasadena's specific climate in mind, where temperatures can vary from record lows of 21°F to record highs of 115°F.
Roof Replacement Solutions
We offer several durable and attractive roofing options to fit different homes and budgets in Pasadena. Each material provides unique benefits in terms of appearance, lifespan, and maintenance. Our solutions are tailored to Pasadena's unique housing stock, where 45% of housing units are owner-occupied and 55% are renter-occupied, according to the 2010 census.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles are popular because they offer a great balance of cost and performance. We use high-quality shingles designed to resist wind, rain, and intense sun. These shingles are available in several colors and styles, allowing us to match the look of many homes throughout Pasadena. Particularly important for Pasadena's climate, our shingles are rated to withstand temperatures exceeding 90°F, which the city experiences regularly from July through September when average daily maximum temperatures range from 89.1°F to 91.3°F.
Installation is straightforward and often quicker than other materials. Most asphalt roofs can be completed in just a few days. Maintenance is simple, with occasional inspections and quick repairs as needed. For Pasadena's 55,270 households (as of the 2010 census), asphalt shingles provide an affordable yet durable option.
Key Benefits:
- Affordable and cost-effective
- Variety of styles and colors
- Quick installation process
- Easy maintenance and repair
- Excellent performance in Pasadena's average 283 sunny days per year
If you want a sturdy and attractive roof without a major investment, asphalt shingles are a reliable choice.
Tile Roofing
Tile roofing offers a classic look, especially for Spanish or Mediterranean-style homes. We use high-quality clay or concrete tiles built to last for decades. Tile roofs stand up well to Pasadena's warm climate and resist fading, fire, and bugs. This style complements many of Pasadena's historic districts and Spanish Colonial Revival architecture that became popular after the city's population boom in the 1920s when its population grew to 76,086 residents by 1930.
Installing tile takes more time and skill than asphalt, as each tile must be carefully placed. Tiles are heavier than many other roofing materials, so we may need to check your home's structure to ensure it can hold the extra weight. This is especially important for older homes in Pasadena, where approximately 34.1% of households are made up of individuals living alone, many in historic properties built before modern building codes.
Advantages:
- Long lifespan (often 50 years or more)
- Natural insulation keeps homes cooler
- Resists rot, insects, and fire
- Enhances curb appeal on many home styles
- Perfect for Pasadena's average of 0.06 inches of rainfall in July and 0.03 inches in August, when heat reflection is crucial
If you prefer a traditional look and long-term durability, tile roofing provides excellent value.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is an excellent option for homeowners seeking longevity and energy efficiency. We install steel and aluminum panels that are tough enough to handle heavy rains, high winds, and years of sun exposure. Metal roofs reflect sunlight, helping keep homes cooler during Pasadena's hot summers. This is particularly beneficial given that Pasadena experiences a mean maximum temperature of 99.3°F in July and 101.6°F in August, according to climate data from 1991 to 2020.
They require very little maintenance, with panels that rarely crack or warp. The lightweight nature of metal makes installation easier on older homes, and proper coatings protect against rust and fading.
Features:
- 30 to 50+ years of lifespan
- High resistance to weather and fire
- Cool roof technology saves energy costs
- Recyclable and environmentally friendly
- Ideal for Pasadena's hottest months with 0.2 inches average rainfall in June and 0.1 inches in July
Metal roofs work well for homeowners who want a modern look and dependable, low-maintenance protection.

Initial Consultation
We start with an initial phone call or online contact. During this time, we gather basic information about your property and listen to your roofing needs. If you have urgent issues like leaks or visible damage, we make these a top priority. We're familiar with all neighborhoods in Pasadena, from Bungalow Heaven to Orange Grove Boulevard to the South Lake Avenue district, and understand their specific housing characteristics.
After the first conversation, we schedule a convenient time for an in-person visit. We answer questions and discuss your concerns so you know what to expect. We explain our services clearly and help you decide which options may fit your home and budget best. With Pasadena's median household income of $83,068 (2015-2019), we offer options at various price points to accommodate different budgets.
Detailed Assessment
During the in-person visit, our team performs a careful inspection of your entire roof. We look for wear, damage, missing shingles, and signs of leaks. If there are hidden issues, we use safe techniques to find them without causing extra damage. Our assessment protocols account for Pasadena's specific weather patterns, including the Santa Ana winds that can reach damaging speeds, as experienced during the major windstorm of November 30 and December 1, 2011.
We take photos and answer questions on the spot. Our inspectors look at your gutters, flashing, and attic space if needed. You receive an honest review of what needs to be fixed, what can wait, and what type of materials might be best for your roof. We're particularly thorough when evaluating historic properties in Pasadena's landmark districts, where maintaining architectural integrity is crucial while ensuring modern protection.
Transparent Quoting
Once we finish the assessment, we provide a clear, detailed quote. This quote breaks down the price for materials, labor, and any extra work that might be needed. We list all costs up front so you are not surprised later. Our quotes factor in Pasadena's building code requirements and permit costs, which can vary based on your specific ZIP code within the city's 91101-91199 range.
We walk you through the quote and explain each part. If you have a question about materials or time needed, we answer it. We help you compare roofing options and understand what will work best for your house. There is no pressure to commit until you are ready.
Project Completion
Our roofing crew arrives on time and treats your home with respect. We prepare the site by laying down protective material and moving outdoor items when needed. Our team uses quality tools and follows safety rules in every job. We carefully schedule work around Pasadena's major events, such as the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game, to avoid logistical complications for homeowners in affected areas.
Work begins right away, with updates each day, so you know our progress. We clean up all debris when finished and check our work closely before leaving. Your new roof is built to last, giving you peace of mind and added value to your property. Our work is designed to protect against Pasadena's wettest months, including January (4.51 inches of rain), February (5.16 inches), and March (3.03 inches).

Insurance Claim Guidance
Our staff helps homeowners understand and use their insurance coverage for roof damage from storms, leaks, or accidents. We walk customers through the insurance claim process by explaining steps, required documents, and how to talk to insurance companies. This is especially valuable after extreme weather events, such as the windstorm of November 30 and December 1, 2011, which caused significant damage across Pasadena.

Flexible Payment Options
We offer several payment solutions to fit different budgets. Homeowners can spread out payments over time with our short-term and long-term installment plans. Our partner Service Finance allows us to finance roofing projects up to $100,000, so most jobs qualify for support. This is particularly valuable in Pasadena's competitive housing market, where maintaining your property's condition is essential for preserving its value.
Some of our payment plans require no money down or give options for interest-free periods for qualifying customers. This makes it easier to start important repairs without delay. We will provide a clear breakdown of all available choices. Our goal is to help families avoid financial strain when taking care of their homes.
