Big lots, big roofs and the foothills
Many Arcadia streets started out as post-war ranch homes on generous lots. Over the years a lot of them have been replaced with larger two-story houses, usually under concrete or clay tile, with hips, valleys and dormers that make for complex roofs.
Complex roofs leak at their joints, so valleys, wall flashings and skylights get most of our attention here. On new homes we work from the plans with the builder, and on older ranch houses we often find dry rot at the eaves and old spaced sheathing under the shingles.
City of Arcadia permits
Arcadia runs its own building services division, so re-roof and new construction permits come from the city, not LADBS or the county. We file the roofing permit and schedule the inspections.
On new homes the roof is one of many inspections, so we coordinate with the builder to keep the roof on schedule.
For background, read re-roofing before you add solar.
Arcadia sits at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, with its northern neighborhoods running up toward the foothills. Homes on those upper streets see more wind and more debris coming off the slopes, and the closest ones sit near the fire-prone edge of the range. We check the fire map for each address and plan valleys, gutters and vents to shed leaves and needles.
