Professional Solutions by Glendale Elite Roofing

We help homeowners protect their properties by offering full roofing solutions. Our team focuses on quality work, clear communication, and dependable results to keep your home safe and looking its best. With Glendale spanning 30.60 square miles and featuring diverse architectural styles from various historical periods—from Spanish Colonial Revival to Mid-Century Modern—we have the expertise to handle any residential roofing project.

We install new roofs on homes of all sizes and styles. Our team works with shingles, tiles, metal, and flat roofing systems. We guide homeowners through material choices, design options, and budget planning.



Each installation project begins with a detailed inspection and measurement of the roof. We explain the process step by step so you know what to expect. Our crews follow safety standards and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your home.

We also offer options that help with energy savings and modern curb appeal. Given Glendale's Mediterranean climate (Köppen climate classification: Csa) with hot summers where temperatures can reach up to 115°F (46°C) as recorded on September 6, 2020, we recommend energy-efficient materials that can withstand intense heat and occasional heavy rainfall. By choosing quality materials and skilled installers, we make sure your new roof lasts for years and stands up to Glendale's weather.

Older or damaged roofs lose their ability to protect your home. We provide roof replacement services that address these concerns. Our team first inspects the roof and shares an honest assessment about its condition.



When a replacement is needed, we discuss material upgrades and improved ventilation options. We plan every step to limit mess and inconvenience. Safety and protecting your property are our top priorities during the removal and installation.

With Glendale's housing stock representing various eras of development—from early 1900s homes in the historic Rossmoyne neighborhood to newer constructions in the downtown area near the Americana at Brand shopping center—our team is experienced in replacing roofs on buildings of all ages and styles. Our knowledge of local codes ensures that every replacement roof meets or exceeds all requirements. We recycle materials when possible. A new roof can improve your home's value, appearance, and weather resistance.

Leaks, broken shingles, and storm damage can cause major headaches. We offer prompt and reliable roof repairs to keep small problems from becoming expensive issues. Our team responds quickly to repair requests and evaluates the damage.

We repair all types of roofing systems, fixing individual shingles, sealing flashing, or repairing underlayment. Our repair methods focus on long-term solutions, not just quick fixes. We communicate what repairs are needed and explain costs upfront.



Glendale experiences an annual average precipitation of just over 21 inches (530 mm), mostly falling between November and April, with rainfall totals being highly variable from year to year. This seasonal pattern makes roof maintenance critical before the rainy season begins. For urgent needs, we offer emergency repair services to prevent water damage during heavy weather. We recommend regular checkups to address minor wear before it leads to bigger repairs.

Regular roof inspections help catch problems early and maintain your roof's warranty. Our inspections include a detailed check of the entire surface, structure, and attic if needed. We look for signs of leaks, algae, storm damage, and aging materials.

After the inspection, we provide a written report with photos and recommendations. If we notice issues, we explain repair or maintenance steps. Our inspectors are trained to spot small details that could lead to bigger problems later.



Glendale is prone to seismic activity, with several known earthquake faults crisscrossing the area, including the Sierra Madre, Hollywood, Verdugo, and Raymond faults. Following the 1994 Northridge earthquake, which had an epicenter about 18 miles from Glendale, many structures suffered damage. Annual inspections are key before and after the rainy season in Glendale. We also suggest inspections when buying or selling a home to avoid surprises.

We help local businesses keep their buildings protected with roofing that stands up to the Southern California sun and weather. Our services focus on high quality installation, flat roofing systems, and long-term care. Glendale is home to numerous commercial enterprises, with top employers including the Glendale Unified School District (4,000 employees), Adventist Health Glendale (2,600 employees), and major entertainment companies like Walt Disney Imagineering (1,011 employees) and DreamWorks Animation (847 employees).

Asphalt shingles are a popular choice because they are affordable, reliable, and versatile. We install both three-tab and architectural styles, allowing homeowners to pick based on their budget and desired appearance. These shingles come in many colors and shapes, making it easy to match a home's style.

Maintenance for asphalt shingles is minimal, and repairs are usually straightforward. They resist fire and can handle most weather conditions seen in Glendale. With Glendale's history of fire concerns and proximity to the Verdugo Mountains, fire-resistant roofing materials are particularly important for properties in the northern neighborhoods such as Verdugo Woodlands and Crescenta Highlands. Lifespan ranges from 15 to 30 years, depending on the shingle quality and care.



Asphalt remains a strong option for those looking for value and ease of installation. They are also widely available, making replacement simple and cost-effective.

Tile roofing stands out for its durability and classic Southwest look. We offer both clay and concrete tiles. Clay tiles are great for traditional style and can last over 50 years. Concrete tiles cost a bit less and hold up well in hot climates.

Tile roofing complements the Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style common in many Glendale neighborhoods, particularly in historic areas where homes date back to the early 20th century. Tile roofs are heavy and need strong support. They resist damage from sun, insects, and rot. Maintenance is low, but when repairs are needed, it is usually because of a cracked tile. We help customers choose the right tile color and shape to suit each house.



This type of roof provides excellent insulation, which can help lower cooling bills in summer. Given that Glendale experiences warm summers with temperatures frequently in the 80-90°F range (27-32°C), proper insulation is essential for energy efficiency. Tile roofing is well-suited for homeowners who want a long-lasting, beautiful option.

Metal roofing offers modern protection and a sleek look. We install steel, aluminum, and copper panels or shingles. These roofs last 40 to 70 years and are very resistant to extreme weather and fire.

Many homeowners like metal roofing for its energy efficiency. It reflects sunlight, reducing heat inside the home. This reflective quality is particularly valuable in Glendale, which receives abundant sunshine throughout the year and where cooling costs can be significant during the summer months. Metal is also very lightweight, so it works well for most structures in Glendale.

There is a wide variety of finishes and colors. We guide customers through the choices, explaining which metals are best for their needs and budget. Metal roofs require little maintenance and stand up well to sun and rain, making them a strong choice for residential homes.

Strong winds, heavy rain, or falling debris can cause unexpected roof damage. We provide fast, reliable help for homeowners after major storms. Our team is trained to safely remove any debris and secure damaged areas to prevent water from getting inside.



While Glendale's annual rainfall averages about 21 inches, the city occasionally experiences intense storms, particularly during El Niño years when rainfall can exceed 30 inches. The Santa Ana winds, which can reach up to 70 miles per hour (110 km/h) with gusts up to 100 miles per hour (160 km/h) in mountain passes and canyons, can also cause significant roof damage between October and December. We inspect all parts of the roof, including shingles, flashing, and gutters. If needed, we use emergency tarping to cover exposed areas until full repairs can be made. We know that every minute counts, so we aim to be on site as soon as possible.

We also help you document the damage for insurance claims, making the process easier for you. Our goal is to make storm recovery as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Roof leaks can start small but quickly lead to bigger problems, such as water damage or mold. We use proven methods to detect leaks, even if they are hidden under roofing materials or inside the attic.



First, we check for the most common signs of a leak, such as water stains, damp spots, or musty smells. Given that Glendale's housing stock includes many older homes, our team has specialized experience detecting leaks in vintage construction where issues may be more complex. Our technicians use moisture meters and other equipment to track moisture back to its source.

Once the leak is found, we repair it using quality materials designed to last. We make sure to seal all sources of water entry, and we test the area afterward to ensure the problem is fixed. If you need urgent help with a roofing leak, you can count on us for prompt and professional service.
