Residential Roofing in Sylmar
Sylmar is mostly a homeowner town, and most of our work is on single-family houses. The housing stock splits roughly in two: older 1950s and 1960s homes with original or layered roofs, and newer builds closer to the foothills with steeper pitches and more complex rooflines. Both need the same thing, which is a roof that can survive valley heat and wind without leaking. Families here usually call us for one of three reasons: a leak showed up after a storm, an inspection flagged a failing roof before a sale, or they are tired of patching the same slope every year. We quote all of it with a written scope and a realistic schedule.
- Full tear-off and replacement — Most Sylmar homes over 25 years old need a full tear-off rather than another layer. We strip to the deck, replace rotted sheathing, and rebuild with new underlayment, flashing and ventilation. Typical 2026 pricing for a 1,500 square foot home runs $9,500 to $18,000.
- Leak tracing and repair — Sylmar leaks rarely show up where the water lands. We trace the path along the underlayment, find the actual breach at flashing, valleys or penetrations, and repair it properly. Small repairs usually finish the same day for $350 to $900.
- Attic ventilation upgrades — Hot attics are the number one reason Sylmar shingles age early. We balance intake and exhaust, install correctly sized ridge vents, and check that insulation is not blocking airflow at the eaves. It is one of the cheapest ways to add years to your roof.
- Annual maintenance plans — Two visits a year, one in spring and one in fall, keeps a Sylmar roof ahead of the heat and the rain. We clear gutters, reseal flashing and pipe boots, replace cracked sealant, and sweep the yard with a nail magnet. Plans start around $300 annually.
