Roofing in Pasadena

Pasadena is known for its Craftsman bungalows, and it also has Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean and Tudor houses. The bungalows usually have low-pitched gables, wide eaves and exposed rafter ends, and composition shingle is the usual roof. The Spanish and Mediterranean houses more often have tile. The eaves and edges are where these roofs go wrong and where the detail work matters, because the framing and fascia are part of the look.

Some Pasadena neighborhoods are designated landmark districts, such as Bungalow Heaven. Exterior work in a landmark district may need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the City before you start, and material and color choices are part of that review. If your house is in one, find that out before you order materials, not after. We can help you work through what a replacement in kind involves.

Santa Ana winds hit Pasadena hard, and mature trees around older neighborhoods drop leaves and branches onto roofs and into valleys. Hillside parts of Pasadena, including areas near the Arroyo and the foothills, include fire zones where the roof covering must meet the fire rating that applies. Roofs on these houses benefit from a look after major wind events.

Pasadena issues its own roofing permits through the Planning and Community Development Department's Building Division. South Pasadena has its own building division, and Altadena is unincorporated, so its permits come from Los Angeles County. We confirm which applies to your address and handle the application on replacement jobs.

We also work in South Pasadena, Altadena, San Marino, Glendale and Alhambra. See all areas we serve.
