Shingle Roof Replacement in the Rancho Equestrian District: what actually fails

Under the Griffith Park canopy, shingle takes organic damage rather than ultraviolet damage. Constant shade and leaf litter mean algae staining, retained damp and granule loss concentrated where the debris sits, and those are the courses to look at. A roof that looks fine on the open slope can be finished along the shaded run.

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.

  • Every structure on the parcel, house and outbuildings alike
  • Debris load in valleys and gutters under the park canopy
  • Long-span low slope on barns and shelters, checked for ponding
  • What is stored under each roof, because it sets the priority

What it costs

Shingle roof replacement cost in the Rancho Equestrian District

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. Expect an itemized quote rather than a single figure, because there is usually more than one roof on the parcel. Long-span outbuildings price differently from the house, and the saving on a Rancho property comes from doing them on one mobilization.

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 Rancho District

Roofs in the Rancho Equestrian District, and what that means for shingle roof replacement

There is usually more than one roof on a Rancho property, and the accessory buildings tend to be the ones in worse condition because nobody looks at them until something stored underneath gets wet. The tree canopy is the other local variable: leaf litter in valleys and gutters holds water against the covering long after the rain stops.

The Rancho Equestrian District is zoned for horse keeping and runs up against Griffith Park, so most properties here have outbuilding roofs as well as a house roof.

Roof Replacement in the Rancho Equestrian District

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.

How long does a replacement take?

A typical single-family Burbank house is a three to five day job once it starts: tear-off and dry-in first, covering after. Tile takes longer than composition, and a lift and relay longer again because the tile is handled twice. Weather moves it, and we will not dry-in a roof we cannot finish.

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 I need a permit, and who pulls it?

Re-roofing is permitted work. In Burbank it goes through the City of Burbank's Building and Safety Division -- not LADBS, because Burbank is its own incorporated city -- and re-roof permits can be pulled through the city's own portal. Toluca Lake and North Hollywood are City of Los Angeles and do go through LADBS. We pull it either way, and the inspection is your independent check that the specification was followed.
