Roof Rejuvenation in Alhambra, CA
Roof rejuvenation in Alhambra works on asphalt shingle roofs that still have life, and the Craftsman and Spanish revival bungalows on tree-lined streets built here mostly in the 1910s through 1940s are the homes we inspect most.
Alhambra was called the Gateway to the San Gabriel Valley, and many of its homes predate World War II. We offer free inspections in Emery Park, the Midwick Tract, Granada Park, Story Park and Northwest Alhambra.
Do roofs in Alhambra qualify for rejuvenation?
Roofs in Alhambra qualify for rejuvenation when they are asphalt shingle with a solid deck and shingles that still have life, which describes many bungalows in Emery Park and the Midwick Tract.
In Alhambra bungalow roofs with dormers and porches have many transitions, which is where we focus repairs.
A roof in Granada Park or Story Park with soft decking or widespread curling is a replacement candidate instead, and we will say so at the inspection.

How old are most roofs in Alhambra?
Most roofs in Alhambra are 15 to 25 years old, because homes built between the 1910s and 1940s have been reroofed several times.
If you do not know when your Alhambra roof was last replaced, the permit history kept by the City of Alhambra Building Division usually shows the reroof date, and we check the shingles directly during the inspection.
What does Alhambra weather do to an asphalt roof?
Alhambra weather means hot summers, some marine air in the evenings and heavy leaf drop from mature street trees.
For a bungalow in the Midwick Tract or Granada Park, summer heat and street tree debris is what dries the asphalt out, loosens granules and lifts sealant at the edges over time.
What does a roof tune-up include in Alhambra?
A roof tune-up in Alhambra includes our seven steps: inspect, wash, repair flashings, seal skylights and vents, replace damaged shingles, coat with our coating, and a final check.
On 1910s through 1940s homes in Story Park and Emery Park, the repairs come first, so leak points are sealed before any coating goes on.
