Roofing in San Gabriel, CA 91775 and 91776
San Gabriel grew up around its mission, and the Spanish revival style it inspired still sets the look of many streets. Clay tile, stucco parapets and low pitches are everywhere, alongside post-war ranch homes and newer two-story houses.

In San Gabriel we repair and relay clay tile roofs, replace worn underlayment, rebuild parapet caps and flashing on Spanish revival homes, and re-roof ranch houses and newer homes. San Gabriel has its own building division, so permits come from the city, and calls are answered 24/7.
Mission-style roofs and the details that keep them dry
Spanish revival homes here often combine a low-pitched clay tile roof with flat sections hidden behind stucco parapets. The tile sheds most of the water, but the flat parts and the parapet tops are where problems start: cracked stucco caps, clogged scuppers and worn membranes behind the walls.
We treat those homes as two roofs in one. The tile slopes get a clay tile repair or relay over new underlayment, and the hidden flat sections get proper drainage, a sound membrane and caps that send water back onto the roof.

Mission San Gabriel Arcangel was founded in 1771, and the Mission revival look it inspired is still common on homes around the city, with clay tile, thick stucco walls and parapets. Those homes are handsome but detail-heavy: parapet tops crack, scuppers clog and flat sections behind the walls hold water. We inspect those details closely before quoting any tile work on these homes.
City of San Gabriel permits
San Gabriel issues its own building permits, so re-roofs are permitted by the city rather than LADBS. The permit filing and inspection scheduling are part of our job.
If your home has a designated historic status, we'll check what that means for materials before planning the job.
