Roof Rejuvenation in Sylmar, CA
Roof rejuvenation in Sylmar works on asphalt shingle roofs that still have life, and the ranch homes and larger lots against the foothills built here mostly in the 1960s and 1970s are the homes we inspect most.
Sylmar is the northernmost neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles, named for the olive groves once planted there. We offer free inspections in the Olive View area, the Hubbard Street area, the El Cariso Park area and the Foothill Boulevard area.
Do roofs in Sylmar qualify for rejuvenation?
Roofs in Sylmar qualify for rejuvenation when they are asphalt shingle with a solid deck and shingles that still have life, which describes many ranch homes in the Olive View area and the Hubbard Street area.
In Sylmar wind damage to ridge caps and edge shingles is the most common repair we make before coating.
A roof in the El Cariso Park area or the Foothill Boulevard area 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 Sylmar?
Most roofs in Sylmar are 20 to 30 years old, because many 1960s and 1970s homes here were reroofed in the 1990s and 2000s.
If you do not know when your Sylmar roof was last replaced, the permit history kept by the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS), because Sylmar is part of the City of Los Angeles usually shows the reroof date, and we check the shingles directly during the inspection.
What does Sylmar weather do to an asphalt roof?
Sylmar weather brings hot summers and powerful Santa Ana winds that roar through the pass at the north end of the valley.
For a ranch home in the Hubbard Street area or the El Cariso Park area, powerful Santa Ana winds and summer heat is what dries the asphalt out, loosens granules and lifts sealant at the edges over time.
