We price the repair and the full replacement, so you can compare the two. Ask us for a free roof quote.
Arcadia has a lot of older roofs and a fair number of newer ones. A tile roof from the fifties needs different work than a shingle roof from the nineties. We quote both, and we price each one on its own condition.
Send us the address and we start by measuring the roof from satellite imagery. The estimate is free, and it comes with a written scope of work.
We repair roofs, replace them, relay tile, and install standing seam metal on Arcadia houses. On low-slope sections we install torch-down modified bitumen and heat weld the cap sheet. We also install TPO membrane, and we handle the repairs that keep any of those systems going.
On a full replacement we tear off to the deck and check the condition of the sheathing. We pull out the boards that have gone soft and lay fresh underlayment across the deck. Then we rebuild the flashing at every wall, valley, chimney, and vent.
Most Arcadia houses predate 1980, and the city kept building in the decades after. So one block can carry a tile roof from the fifties and newer shingles a few doors along. We ask what is on your deck before we quote, whatever year the house went up.
Your own valleys and edges decide what happens in a storm. We check where each plane sends its water before we quote.
A failure in one spot usually calls for a repair, while failures across the whole roof call for replacement. We trace the leak back to its entry point, then check the decking, the layers, and the flashing. The condition of those layers decides which of the two we recommend.
Water often gets in at a wall, a chimney, a valley, or a vent penetration. Flashing seals those transitions, and worn flashing lets water back in long before the open field fails.
Clay and concrete tile can outlast the underlayment beneath it by several decades. The underlayment does the waterproofing, and it is the layer that wears out first. So a leaking tile roof in Arcadia usually needs new underlayment rather than new tile.
In a lift and relay we stack the tile, strip the old underlayment, and repair the decking. Once the new felt is down, the same tiles go back onto the roof. Some tile breaks during every relay, so each estimate carries a tile allowance.
We relay clay, concrete, and slate, and our tile roofing page covers both the relay and a full replacement.
Standing seam metal suits some of the newer houses in Arcadia. The panels lock together at raised seams, and those seams hide the fasteners underneath the metal. The seams also carry the water, so the panel layout matters more than the color.
We set that panel layout before we cut a single piece. We also explain the flashing details and the upkeep a metal roof will need. See our metal roofing page for the rest of the assembly.
Arcadia's attached and multi-unit buildings often pair a pitched roof with a low-slope section tucked behind it. Each part takes its own covering and its own flashing details. We roof both parts and quote each one as a separate line on the estimate.
Torch-down modified bitumen is our low-slope default, and a reflective white cap sheet goes on where it suits the building. We install TPO as well, although its repairs cost more and take longer to complete. Our commercial roofing and flat roofing pages cover both systems in detail.
On an occupied building we phase the work, so the people inside can keep using the property.
The price comes from the roof itself, so we ask a handful of questions first. We work from the measured roof area rather than the floor area of the house. Each answer below moves the number one way or the other.
A mapped fire hazard zone can change the roof assembly that the code requires. Only a minority of parcels fall inside one, and the property address settles it.
Roofing work statewide follows the 2025 Title 24 edition of the California building code. You can check the current editions on the Building Standards Commission code page. Where your job needs a permit, we help you file the paperwork with the city.
We quote roofs in Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas 91006, 91007, 91016, 91024, and 91107. We tear off, relay, and repair the same way in 91706, 91731, 91732, 91775, and 91780.
Send us the address, the covering type, and roughly how old the roof is. Your free quote covers the roofing work we would do for you. A written report for escrow or an insurer is a separate service, and we charge for that one.
Call (626) 323-8814 and describe the roof, or send the details through our contact form.
We also work nearby in Temple City, Mayflower Village, and East Pasadena. The full map of where we roof sits on our service areas page.
We measure Arcadia roof planes from satellite imagery before we answer any pricing question. The age of the covering, the layers under it, and the condition of the deck matter just as much. These three answers explain how we handle the questions we hear most.
Roofing demand across this valley climbs through the fall and peaks in December, January, and February. Late spring and summer run quieter, although a roof that already leaks should not wait for them. We price the work the same way in any month, because measurement and roof condition set the number.
California has no 25 percent roofing rule. The threshold that does exist applies inside mapped High and Very High fire hazard severity zones. Replace half or more of the covering within twelve months, and the new construction requirements apply to the roof.
A statewide average covers every roof in California, so it cannot describe yours. Your number follows the measured area, the pitch, the layers, the decking, and any tile handling. We can price most Arcadia roofs from that measurement, and the quote is free.
