In our part of Southern California, we can go months with almost no rain, then get a few strong storms. Small roof issues now become expensive leaks later. A documented inspection before rainy season beats an emergency during the first storm.

We know these roofs

Local Roof Issues We See

Every city we serve – from Pasadena, Altadena, Arcadia and Glendale to La Cañada, San Marino, Monrovia, Sierra Madre and other nearby cities – has its own roofing challenges.

Pasadena & Altadena

Older homes, mature trees, and foothill wind exposure. Tree debris, aging roof systems, and storm-season leaks are common.

San Marino & Arcadia

San Marino & Arcadia

Estate-style homes and tile roofs that need careful inspection around tile details, flashing, and drainage transitions.

La Cañada Flintridge

La Cañada Flintridge

Hillside drainage, sun exposure, mature trees, and specialty roof details, plus high-fire-zone considerations.

Steep tile roofs here often require staging, fall protection, and a crew that has done it before. These are exactly the kinds of roofs no one can price accurately from the driveway.

Monrovia & the foothills

Monrovia & the foothills

Wind, trees, drainage, and older roof systems that benefit from documented inspections.

What we look at · What you get back

What we look at, and what you get back

What we check

A real inspection looks at the whole roof system, not just the surface, whether it's shingle, tile, flat or low‑slope.

01The roof surface, shingles or tile, for wear, damage, and aging
02Flashing around chimneys, vents, and walls, a common leak point
03Roof penetrations and seals
04Valleys, where water concentrates and leaks often start

05Gutters and drainage

Why the photo report matters

Why the photo report matters

You can see exactly what is going on, no guessing or taking our word for it
It makes the repair-vs-replacement decision clearer
It helps you compare options fairly if you are getting more than one opinion
It is useful documentation for insurance or a future home sale
It gives you a clear, photo-backed estimate instead of a quick guess from the driveway
The report is yours to keep, whether or not you work with us

What roofs in this area usually cost

Most repairs we recommend land between $3,000-$5,000. Full residential reroofs are often in the $17,000-$25,000+ range, depending on size, demo and materials.

The inspection, photos, and report are what let us tell you which bucket you're actually in - and whether you can safely wait or should act sooner.

Inspection FAQ

The questions homeowners ask most.

Is it really free? What's the catch?

There isn't one. The roof inspection and photo report are genuinely free, with no obligation to hire us. We get on your roof, document what we see, and send you the full photo report to keep, even if you end up choosing another roofer. If we don't deliver your report within 24–48 hours of your inspection, you get a $100 credit toward any future repair.

How long does it take?

Most inspections take around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the roof.

Do I need to be home?

It helps so we can walk you through what we find, but it is not always required. We will confirm when we schedule.

Will you go in the attic?

When access is available and you are comfortable with it, checking from underneath gives a fuller picture. We always ask first.

Do you inspect active leaks?

Yes. If you have an active leak, tell us so we can prioritize you.

What happens after the inspection?

You get your full photo report within 24-48 hours, and it's yours to keep. If repairs or replacement make sense, we explain your options clearly, repair vs. replace, so you can decide on your own timeline. No surprises, no hard sell.

Can I compare another quote?

Absolutely. We are happy to help you compare scope and options so you can decide with confidence.

Can you just give me a price over the phone?

For existing roofs, no. Any price without seeing your actual roof is just a guess, and we don't guess with your home. We start with a free Photo Proof Roof Inspection, Report & Estimate so your number is based on real photos and measurements.

For brand-new builds or major additions with plans, we can often give an estimate from your plans without an inspection.

Do you offer financing?

Financing options may be available for qualified homeowners. Your project team can explain what applies to your project.
