Roof Replacement in Chandler Park: what actually fails

On a half lot there is nowhere to put anything. The dumpster goes on the street, which needs arranging rather than assuming, and the tear-off has to come down through a side yard that is barely a walkway. The covering is the quick part of a Chandler Park replacement; getting the old roof off the property is the part that sets the schedule.

Burbank housing is older and tighter than the post-war tracts further out in the valley, and it is mixed: streets here can carry a 1920s house, a 1940s tract house and a 1960s addition within a few doors of each other. That matters because a replacement quote written off a drive-by assumes one roof, and these are frequently three roofs joined together.

What it costs

Roof replacement cost in Chandler Park

A full replacement in Los Angeles County is estimated at $10,000 to $25,000 for most houses. The range is that wide because covering, pitch, access and what the old roof was hiding all move it -- which is why the survey comes before the number. These are small roofs and the fixed costs do not shrink with them. Permit, mobilization, waste and a crew day cost the same on a 1,100 square foot roof as on a 2,000 one, so the price per square foot reads high until you see the line items. Junction count, not area, drives the labor.

01

What makes it cheaper

A simple roof shape, easy street access, a plywood deck in good condition, and booking outside the winter rush when every roofer in the valley is on a ladder.

02

What makes it cost more

Skip sheathing that has to be overlaid, a second story, tile rather than composition, a sloping lot, or soft decking found once the covering is off.

03

What should never be a surprise

Sheathing replacement priced per sheet, the tear-off included or excluded, and the underlayment actually named. Those three account for most of the gap between quotes.

Buildings in Chandler Park

Roofs in Chandler Park, and what that means for roof replacement

The streets either side of the Chandler Bikeway, a rail right-of-way converted to a path, close in to downtown Burbank.

Small lots, including a distinctive run of half-lot houses, built close together.

Small lots mean short roof runs with a lot of geometry in them -- several hips and valleys inside a small area, and very little side yard to work from. More junctions per square foot is more places to leak, and tighter access means the tear-off and the load-out are the slow parts of the day rather than the covering.

Chandler Park is built around the Chandler Bikeway, a converted rail right-of-way, and includes a run of half-lot houses on unusually small parcels.

Before you replace

Some roofs that get replaced did not need to be

This is a replacement company saying so, which is the point. The most expensive mistake in this market is buying the whole roof when the job was a section of it.

01

On tile it is the starkest

A tile roof quoted at $30,000 to $60,000 for replacement is very often an $8,000 to $22,000 lift and relay, because concrete tile outlives felt by decades and only the felt has failed. Somebody has to count your tile before that question can be answered.

02

Sometimes a partial is the honest answer

A separate garage, an outbuilding, a rear addition on its own roof, or one slope that failed years ahead of the others. What we will also tell you is when a partial is just a deposit on doing the rest at a second mobilization cost.

03

Sometimes a replacement is the honest answer

When it is, we will say so plainly, because that is the same job as saying the opposite done honestly. What no homeowner should accept is either verdict without being walked through the reasoning.

All services

Tile Roof Replacement in Chandler Park

A relay needs somewhere to stack the tile while the underlayment goes down, and on a half lot that space does not exist.

Shingle Roof Replacement in Chandler Park

These small roofs have more hips and valleys per square than anything else we work on, and that changes the arithmetic of a shingle job.

Flat Roof Replacement in Chandler Park

Flat porch and carport roofs on these lots usually drain to a single outlet, and a single outlet is a single point of failure.

Apartment Roof Replacement in Chandler Park

Small blocks on small lots have no on-site staging at all -- no yard, no spare bay, nothing.

Partial Roof Replacement in Chandler Park

On a roof this small, half of it arrives quickly -- two slopes can be most of the area on a half-lot house.

Questions

What homeowners here ask

I have three quotes and they are thousands apart. Why?

Usually because they are not the same roof. Check whether each one includes a full tear-off, how sheathing replacement is priced, and what underlayment is specified. Those three account for most of the spread you are looking at.

What is skip sheathing and why does it matter to my price?

It is a deck of spaced boards rather than continuous plywood, common on Burbank's older houses because it was built for wood shake. A modern covering cannot be nailed into the gaps, so the deck has to be overlaid or replaced first. It is a real cost and it should appear on the quote, not after the tear-off.

Does my new roof have to be a cool roof?

It depends on the slope. Burbank is Title 24 climate zone 9, and the steep-slope cool-roof requirement applies in zones 10 to 15 -- so a pitched roof here is generally outside it. Low slope is different: that requirement applies in all sixteen zones with no exemption, once more than half the roof area is replaced.

Do you charge for the survey or the quote?

No. The inspection is free, the written quote is free, and there is no obligation attached to either. What we will not do is give you a price at the door without going up.

How much does a roof replacement cost in Burbank?

A full replacement in Los Angeles County is estimated at $10,000 to $25,000 for most houses. Composition shingle runs $7 to $11 per square foot here and tile $15 to $25. The range is wide because covering, pitch, access and what the old roof was hiding all move it, which is why the inspection is free and the quote is written down.
