Roof repair in Altadena
We take on roof repair in Altadena, on the Craftsman, Spanish and ranch houses either side of Lake Avenue. Call (310) 857-2520 and we return your call within a few hours.
The building visit is free. Your file starts that day, with photos of your roof.
You may already know which ceiling marks every time it rains, because you have lived with it for years. Or the house is new to you, and you want to know what is up there before the first wet week.
Either way, the visit is the same.
What every job gets
- The building visit is free. It takes about 45 minutes a roof, and your file starts that day, with photos of your roof.
- The written scope follows within 48 hours. Each part of the roof has its own price, so a board can approve one part now and leave the rest.
- We stop a leak that day. Give us the address and the unit, and we tell you, or the tenant, once the water has stopped.
- Every building gets its own file. It holds a plan of the roof with each problem numbered and photographed, what we did and what it cost.
- Ten years on our workmanship, counted from the day the final page is signed. Where a fault is in our work, we repair it and the building pays nothing. The roofing material has the manufacturer's own warranty, on a second paper in the same file.
Lived here for years, just moved in, or renting it out
- If you have lived in the house for years. We price one repair and a new roof separately, and the choice is yours.
- If you have just moved in. Who installed the roof makes no difference to the visit, and the photos show you what you have bought.
- If the house is a rental. Every page comes to you the day it is added, and the tenant hears from us only if you say so.
The first you know of it, on a big Altadena lot
The tenant in your rental calls about the ceiling
Ask for the room and a photo, then give us the address and stay where you are.
Once the water has stopped, the photo of where it got in comes to you.
A box on the garage shelf is soft
A detached garage has a roof of its own, and its leak shows on what is stored under it. If you find damp on a shelf, call, and the free visit takes in the garage and the house together.
Each roof gets its own price, so the garage can wait for the dry months if the house cannot.
A ring on your own living room ceiling after the first rain
A ring that has dried is still worth a call, because the next storm will use the same way in. Tell us which room it is over.
Our page on roof repairs and leaks shows what comes next.
Craftsman, Spanish, ranch and newer houses
- Craftsman houses. Steep roofs with valleys where two slopes meet, which is where the water slows down and gets in.
- Spanish houses. Tile on the main roof, and often a low flat part behind a front wall that holds water after rain.
- Ranch houses on the big lots. One long low roof, and foothill summers that work on the sealant around pipes and skylights before anything else.
- Newer houses. If you have just moved into one, the free visit tells you what kind of roof is up there and what it needs.
