Roofing for Sylmar homes and mobile homes, Los Angeles, CA 91342
Sylmar is the top of Los Angeles: ranch houses on big lots, newer tracts against the San Gabriel foothills and several large mobile home parks. Wind off the canyons, foothill fire and summer heat set the agenda for most roofs here.
- Answered 24/7
- Mobile home roofs
- Foothill fire zone
In Sylmar we re-roof ranch houses and newer tract homes, repair wind damage off the foothills, harden roofs on streets that back onto brush, and roof over or coat mobile homes in the local parks. Sylmar is part of the City of Los Angeles, so house permits come from LADBS, while mobile home roofs inside a park are permitted through the state HCD. Calls are answered 24/7.
Big lots, foothill streets and mobile home parks
Much of Sylmar is single-story ranch houses on deep lots, many still under their second or third shingle roof, with concrete tile on the newer tracts closer to the foothills. Santa Ana winds come straight down the canyons here, so loose ridge caps, lifted shingles and slipped tile are regular calls.
The mobile home parks are their own kind of work. Most coaches have thin metal or rolled roofs that leak at seams and vents, and the lasting fix is usually a roof-over or a reflective coating rather than another patch. On the upper streets, we pair re-roofs with ember-resistant vents and sealed edges.
The November 2008 Sayre Fire burned 480 of the roughly 600 homes in Sylmar's Oakridge Mobile Home Park and stood as the city's worst loss of homes to fire until 2025. It showed how quickly a lightweight roof can go in a wind-driven fire. When we roof over a mobile home here, we use a noncombustible assembly, close the gaps along the edges and screen the vents, so embers have fewer places to land and catch.

LADBS and HCD permits
Houses in Sylmar are permitted through LADBS because the neighborhood is part of the City of Los Angeles, and streets against the foothills fall under the fire-zone roofing rules. Mobile homes inside a park are permitted through the state Department of Housing and Community Development instead.
