Roof Rejuvenation in Whittier, CA
Roof rejuvenation in Whittier works on asphalt shingle roofs that still have life, and the Craftsman homes near Uptown and ranch homes in East Whittier and Friendly Hills built here mostly in the 1910s through 1960s are the homes we inspect most.
Whittier was founded by Quakers in 1887, and its historic neighborhoods surround Whittier College. We offer free inspections in Uptown Whittier, Friendly Hills, the Whittier College area, Hadley Greenleaf and East Whittier.
Do roofs in Whittier qualify for rejuvenation?
Roofs in Whittier qualify for rejuvenation when they are asphalt shingle with a solid deck and shingles that still have life, which describes many ranch homes in Uptown Whittier and Friendly Hills.
In Whittier hillside homes in Friendly Hills see more wind on ridge caps, while Uptown homes need chimney flashing care.
A roof in the Whittier College area or Hadley Greenleaf 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 Whittier?
Most roofs in Whittier are 15 to 25 years old, with older homes near Uptown on their third or fourth roof.
If you do not know when your Whittier roof was last replaced, the permit history kept by the City of Whittier Building and Safety Division usually shows the reroof date, and we check the shingles directly during the inspection.
What does Whittier weather do to an asphalt roof?
Whittier weather brings hot summers, fall winds over the Puente Hills and some marine layer mornings.
For a ranch home in Friendly Hills or the Whittier College area, summer heat and Puente Hills winds is what dries the asphalt out, loosens granules and lifts sealant at the edges over time.
