Roofing in Alhambra, CA

Tear-offs on compact lots

Narrow driveways and close neighbors mean the dumpster, material drop and tear-off debris all need a plan so driveways and sidewalks stay usable. We work that out before the start date.

Tile roof underlayment repairs

On Spanish and Mediterranean houses the tile often outlives the underlayment. We lift the tile, replace what is beneath and relay the sound pieces.

Rear addition roofs

Low-slope rear additions leak at seams and where they meet the house. Rebuilding that transition often fixes the problem without a full re-roof.

Ramona Park Tract

Southern Alhambra, laid out in the early 1900s, with Arts and Crafts homes. Older roof structures may hide layered roofs, so we check the decking before pricing a tear-off.

Midwick Tract

Alhambra's southwest corner, developed in the 1940s, with Spanish Colonial Revival, Minimal Traditional and Mid-Century Modern houses. Both shingle and tile are common, and low-slope additions are frequent.

Central Alhambra near Main Street

Houses, townhomes and small buildings near Main Street. Tell us the building type when you schedule so we scope it correctly.

North Alhambra

Residential streets with a wide range of twentieth-century houses. Sun-aged shingles and wall flashing leaks are the common problems.

Asphalt shingles

Asphalt shingles cover most Alhambra houses. On compact lots the tear-off plan matters as much as the shingle choice.

Clay and concrete tile

Clay and concrete tile are common on Spanish and Mediterranean houses. Heat wears out the underlayment long before the tile looks worn.

TPO and torch-down (low-slope)

TPO and torch-down cover many rear additions and flat garage roofs. Seams and wall flashing are the usual repair points.

Driveway and street width

Tell us about driveway width, shared driveways and street parking. On compact Alhambra lots those decide where the dumpster sits and how tear-off debris leaves the site.

Which tract you're in

If the house is in the Ramona Park or Midwick tract, say so. The age of the tract hints at layered roofs or older sheathing we should plan for.

Rear additions

Mention any low-slope rear addition and whether it was roofed at the same time as the house. Additions roofed separately often fail first at the joint.
