What makes Sylmar different is that most of it sits in unincorporated Los Angeles County. That changes the process. County building permits and inspections from the Department of Building and Safety’s Sylmar district office are required on nearly every full tear-off, not the City of Los Angeles. We handle that paperwork so you don’t have to learn a county system from scratch.

Dylan Pace leads our crew, and he’s walked more Sylmar roofs than most roofers in the Valley. When we inspect a home near El Cariso Park or up in the hills above Hubbard Street, we know what we’re looking at before we climb the ladder. 1950s ranch with original decking? Heat-baked underlayment? Tile that Santa Ana winds already loosened at the rake edges? We’ve seen it, fixed it, and documented it with before-and-after photos you receive by text.

Every technician who arrives at your Sylmar home is background-checked, uniformed, and sends you a live arrival time you can track. You’ll know who’s coming before they pull into your driveway. And a live person answers our phones 24/7. No voicemail loops.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Sylmar

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Sylmar is the most common full tear-off we do, largely because the housing stock is dominated by 1950s through 1970s ranch homes whose original composition shingle roofs are now 50 to 70 years old. Those roofs weren’t built for Sylmar’s heat. Summer highs above 100°F bake shingles until the asphalt oxidizes, granules shed, and the mat underneath cracks. Add poor attic ventilation in those older ranch builds, and you get shingles curling long before their rated lifespan.

Heat-Baked Shingles and Ventilation

When we strip a Sylmar ranch roof, we often find the decking is sound but the shingles are toast. The bigger issue is airflow. Most 1960s builds lack ridge vents and have only minimal soffit intake, which means attic temperatures climb well past the roof surface temperature. We address that on every replacement by verifying or adding ventilation. County inspectors want to see it too.

Architectural Shingle Upgrades

Many Sylmar homeowners upgrade from three-tab to architectural shingles when they replace. Architectural shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning carry higher wind ratings and look more substantial on a ranch street with mature eucalyptus and pine trees. A standard 1,600-square-foot Sylmar ranch typically runs $9,500 to $14,000 for a full architectural shingle tear-off with new underlayment and drip edge.

New Roof Installation in Sylmar

New Roof Installation in Sylmar covers two very different situations. The first is a home that’s getting a roof for the first time because it’s new construction, often on a hillside lot or an open acreage property where the house is being built from the ground up. The second is a home where the existing roof is so far gone that patching doesn’t make sense and a complete structural re-roof is the only honest option. Both run $12,000 to $22,000 or more depending on complexity.

New Construction on County Acreage

Sylmar has a lot of open lots, especially east of the 210 and up toward the Angeles National Forest boundary. New roof installation on raw land means we’re coordinating with county inspectors from the start. Septic and well setbacks often dictate where the house sits, and that affects roof overhang design. An eave that extends past the allowable building envelope can fail county inspection after framing is already up. We scope those boundaries before quoting so the number we give you is the number that holds.

Full Structural Re-Roofs

Some Sylmar homes need new roof installation because the existing structure is inadequate. We’ve opened roofs where the decking was so heat-warped and water-damaged that replacing it wasn’t optional. On those jobs, we replace the roof decking, install new underlayment rated for Sylmar’s wind zone, and rebuild the roof as a complete system. You get a written line item for every layer before we start.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sylmar

We install and repair manufacturer-backed materials from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, and we can source IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral as needed. For Sylmar customers, that means we can match an existing tile profile or shingle color without waiting weeks for special orders. Whether you’re replacing a 1990s concrete tile roof in the hills or a composition shingle roof on a flat ranch off Maclay Avenue, we stock what your house needs. Written warranty coverage comes standard on every job, and the material warranty is separate from our own 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Sylmar Homes

• Santa Ana wind damage at the drip edge. Gusts over 60 mph peel back shingles and tile where drip edge was never fastened to current code. One strong storm can leave open decking exposed, and by the time you see the shingles in your yard, water has already soaked the underlayment.
• Parapet wall leaks on older flat-roof ranch homes. Thermal expansion from Sylmar’s 100°F summer days cracks hot-mop patches at parapet transitions. Water wicks down the soffit and fascia for months before you see a stain on the ceiling inside.
• Heat-degraded underlayment under tile. We tear off tile roofs and find underlayment that has turned to dust. The tile itself looks fine, but the waterproofing layer beneath it is gone. That’s why a tile roof replacement in Sylmar is really an underlayment replacement with tile reinstallation.
• Septic and well setbacks confused for roof overhang zones. On acreage properties, homeowners sometimes assume the roof can extend anywhere. It can’t. New eaves or gable extensions that cross county septic or well setback lines fail inspection after the roof is framed. We check that before we quote.
