Roof Replacement in Burbank — Written Price, Workmanship Warranty

Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Burbank

Roof replacement in Burbank typically runs $9,500 – $18,500 for a standard asphalt shingle tear-off on a 1,200 – 1,800 sq ft ranch, and $13,000 – $26,000 for flat or low-slope membrane work. Most Burbank homes fall into the 1940s – 1960s building stock, which means the real cost driver isn’t the shingle you pick. It’s what we find when we open up a roof that’s been cooking under Valley heat for sixty-plus years. Our crews work Burbank every week, from Magnolia Park to the Verdugo foothills, and inspections are free. Call (866) 942-4187 to schedule one.

Why Orange County Roofing Co Is Burbank’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company

Kurt Hensley built this company around one idea: give Burbank homeowners a straight answer about their roof, then stand behind the work. We’re material-agnostic by design. We carry GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, so when we recommend a shingle or a membrane, it’s because that product fits your Burbank home, not because it pads our margin.

Our Roof Replacement team has torn off more mid-century Burbank roofs than we can count. We know what a 1951 ranch on the grid south of the airport hides under its third layer of shingle. We know how flat tar-and-gravel roofs on the Rancho blocks behave after a decade of Valley summers. That local knowledge is what turns a vague quote into a real number. Burbank homeowners call us because the inspection is a diagnostic, not a sales pitch. It tells you exactly what your roof needs, nothing more.

Reroofing in Burbank

Reroofing in Burbank means one of two things: we either tear off the existing roof and start fresh, or we install a new roof over the old one when local code allows it. On Burbank’s mid-century ranches, a full tear-off is almost always the smarter move. Most homes in 91521, 91522, 91523, and 91526 have two or three layers of old shingle already, and the decking underneath is original to the house. You can’t see what’s failing until it’s exposed.

Tear-Off and Decking Reality Check

Burbank’s housing stock was built fast between 1940 and 1965. The original roof decking on many of those homes was never spec’d for the heavier architectural shingles people want today. We price for decking replacement as an allowance in the initial quote, in writing, before we touch anything. That way a split board over the ridge doesn’t turn into a surprise change order you didn’t approve.

What Reroofing Costs Here

A standard tear-off and reroof with architectural asphalt shingles on a Burbank ranch runs $10,000 – $17,000. Add full decking replacement and you’re looking at $14,000 – $21,000. Those numbers assume a typical 1,400 sq ft roof with standard pitch. Flat roofs and tile work run higher.

Flat Roof Replacement in Burbank

Flat Roof Replacement in Burbank is a different animal from shingle work, and it’s everywhere here. The postwar building boom gave Burbank thousands of flat and low-slope roofs, from the duplexes off Magnolia Boulevard to the commercial strips along San Fernando Road. These roofs sit in direct sunlight all day, every day, for nine months a year. The membrane cooks, cracks, and eventually lets winter rain through to the dry, neglected decking underneath.

Membrane and Decking Issues

We regularly find failed tar-and-gravel membrane over decking that’s dried out and split after decades of heat. Once the membrane cracks, the decking rots slowly, and the homeowner doesn’t catch it until the first heavy storm of winter. By then the damage is done. We inspect the decking before we quote, and we write any needed replacement into the contract as an approved allowance, not a blank check.

Flat Roof Replacement Cost in Burbank

Flat roof replacement in Burbank typically runs $13,000 – $26,000 depending on square footage, decking condition, and the membrane system you choose. Modified bitumen, TPO, and PVC all have different price points and lifespans. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs honestly. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll set up a free inspection.

Trusted Brands We Service in Burbank

We’re authorized to install products from seven major roofing manufacturers, and that matters in Burbank because one brand doesn’t fit every roof. Atlas makes a solid architectural shingle that handles Valley heat well. Tamko offers strong warranty tiers at a mid-range price. GAF and Boral both have cool-roof options that help with Title 24 compliance. We stock common parts and materials in our Corona yard, which means faster turnaround for Burbank jobs. The right material for your roof, backed by the manufacturer’s own warranty.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Burbank Homes

• Split or undersized original decking. Homes built in the 1940s and 1950s used thinner boards than modern code requires. When we strip a roof in Magnolia Park or the Rancho district, we often find decking that can’t support today’s heavier shingles without reinforcement.
• Cracked flat-roof membranes. The inland Valley heat is relentless. Flat roofs on Burbank’s postwar multi-family buildings and older homes bake for months each summer, and the membrane eventually splits. It’s a slow failure until winter rain finds it.
• Santa Ana wind damage. Fall winds in the Verdugo foothills and the flat grid south of the airport strip loose fasteners and lift shingles. A roof that survives summer can get torn open in October. We check fastener placement and edge detailing as part of every Burbank inspection.
• Missing or failed flashing at penetrations. Older Burbank homes rarely had proper flashing around vents, chimneys, and skylights. Water gets in at those points long before the shingles themselves fail. We replace flashing at every penetration on every Burbank replacement.
