Shingle Roof Replacement in Chandler Park: what actually fails

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. Waste factor goes up, valley detailing becomes most of the labor, and a price quoted purely on roof area will be wrong. The junctions are the job here, not the field.

Composition shingle is the most common covering on Burbank houses and it is the one where corners get cut, because it is cheap enough that the temptation is to go fast. The two places that happens are the tear-off and the flashings.

  • Hips, valleys and junctions -- the detailing, not the field
  • Street access and where the dumpster is allowed to sit
  • Drainage on flat porch and carport sections to a single outlet
  • Total roof area measured, because 50% arrives fast on a small roof

What it costs

Shingle roof replacement cost in Chandler Park

Composition shingle runs $7 to $11 per square foot in Los Angeles, with about $8.50 being typical. National figures put it nearer $4, which is why an online estimate and a local quote look like they are describing different work. They usually are. 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 single-layer tear-off onto sound plywood, a simple roof with few penetrations, and a covering choice at the standard end of the architectural range.

02

What makes it cost more

A second or third existing layer, skip sheathing, a lot of valleys and hips, steeper pitch, or a designer-profile shingle.

03

The corner not to cut

Flashings. Reusing old step flashing or bedding new shingles into old mastic will leak within a few seasons no matter what the shingle cost.

Buildings in Chandler Park

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

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 choose

Five things worth checking on every replacement quote you get

Including ours. There are enough door-knockers working this valley that the checks are worth making on anybody.

01

How is sheathing replacement priced

Nobody can know how much decking needs replacing before the covering is off. It should be a rate per sheet in the scope, not a lump guess and not a change order.

02

Are the two quotes specifying the same roof

A fire-rated assembly, a named underlayment and a cool-roof compliant product each move the price. A cheaper quote is sometimes a lesser roof rather than a better price.

03

Nobody can price a roof from the street

A covering can look sound from the sidewalk and be finished at the laps. Insist that the roof and the roof space are both looked at before a figure is written down, ours included. What you should never accept is a number at the door, because a number at the door has to be padded to be safe.

Questions

What homeowners here ask

Can I just have new shingles laid over the old ones?

It is allowed up to a limit and it is usually the wrong call on a roof this age. An overlay hides the deck, adds weight, and sits on a surface that is no longer flat, which shortens the life of the new covering. On Burbank's older skip-sheathed houses it is worse again, because there is no solid deck to nail into.

How do I know if my shingle roof is actually finished?

Look at the field rather than the failure. Composition here tends to go across a whole slope at once -- granules gone, tabs brittle, seal lines broken -- rather than in patches. A bald section on an otherwise sound slope is a repair; a whole slope like that is a replacement.

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.
