Why Marquis Roof Repair Is Sunland’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Sunland homeowners consistently tell us the same thing: they want a roofer who looks before he recommends. That’s exactly how Ron Thibodeau runs our inspection process. We walk the roof before we talk replacement. We check the decking, flashing, ridge, and underlayment. If repair buys you five more years, that’s what we’ll say. When replacement is the honest call, we’ll show you why with photos from your own roof.
Our Sunland customers come to us through referrals from neighbors along Foothill Boulevard and the canyon streets near Oro Vista Park. We carry seven manufacturer lines, so the recommendation you get from us is driven by your roof’s exposure and pitch, not by whatever single brand a competitor happens to stock that week. That matters in Sunland, where wildland-urban interface requirements push material decisions that flat-valley roofs never face.
Response time to Sunland runs same-week for estimates and we schedule replacements around permit office turnaround. We’ve done enough tear-offs in these foothills to know what’s under the old shake before we lift the first course.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Replacement Contractor in Sunland
A Roof Replacement Contractor in Sunland handles the full removal of the old roof system, decking inspection and repair, underlayment, and installation of the new covering. You need one when the existing roof has reached the end of its service life in this UV-heavy climate, when leaks have compromised the decking, or when the roof fails wildfire ignition-resistance standards that flat-valley cities never contend with. Expect to pay $11,500 – $24,000 for a typical Sunland home, with tear-off discovery changes handled through written allowances before work continues.
Full tear-off and decking evaluation
We don’t roof over old roofing in Sunland. The second layer hides problems and adds dead load your framing may not be sized for. A full tear-off lets us inspect every sheet of decking, replace what the decade-old leaks ruined, and give you a surface that meets current Chapter 7A standards where they apply.
Permits and final inspection
Sunland falls under Los Angeles County and LADBS jurisdiction. We pull the permit, schedule inspections, and handle corrections if the inspector flags anything. You shouldn’t be the one on the phone with the building department.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Sunland
An Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Sunland is the most common job we do in the 91040 and 91041 ZIP codes. The valley summers bake shingles until granules shed and sealant strips fail. When homeowners call us for recurring leaks and curling edges, the answer is usually a full replacement with architectural shingles rated for high heat and high wind. Budget $9,800 – $18,500 for a typical single-story ranch; two-story and steep hillside lots run higher because of staging and safety equipment.
Architectural shingles for foothill heat and wind
Standard three-tab shingles don’t hold up well here. We recommend architectural shingles with a higher wind rating for the Santa Ana gusts that funnel through Big Tujunga Canyon. The thicker profile handles UV better and looks cleaner on the mid-century ranch homes that make up most of Sunland’s housing stock.
High-wind nailing and starter strip upgrade
We upgrade the nailing pattern to high-wind specs on every Sunland job. The original nailing on 1960s tract roofs was never designed for the gust loads we see each fall. A proper starter strip and ridge cap installation makes the difference between a roof that survives a wind event and one that peels at the eave.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunland
We’re authorized installers for GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. When a Sunland homeowner needs a material recommendation that balances heat reflectivity, wind rating, and fire resistance, we can draw from seven manufacturer lines instead of two. Your warranty options vary by product line, and we’ll walk you through the real differences, not the brochure talk. If you want Sunland weather and wildfire exposure considered honestly, bring us your roof’s pitch and your insurance requirements. We’ll match the right material to both.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Sunland Homes
- Wood-shake roofs that fail ember intrusion. Sunland’s foothill-edge homes often still carry original shake over skip-sheathing with aged felt. In a wind-driven ember event, these roofs are the first to go. Replacement means a Chapter 7A ignition-resistant assembly, not just a re-cover.
- Santa Ana damage to ridge caps and starter strips. Gusts through the canyon mouths rip off caps and peel starter strips on older tract homes. The original nailing pattern was never upgraded, and the first wind event after twenty years of sealant breakdown exposes it.
- Hidden decking rot under hillside tile. Tile roofs from the 1970s trap heat and hide failed flashing. By the time water stains show on the ceiling, the decking underneath is often compromised. Tear-off is the only way to see it.
- Squirrel and woodpecker damage on canyon-edge lots. Shake and tile roofs near the Angeles National Forest boundary are a target. Chewed fascia, drilled shake, and torn underlayment are recurring findings on the same streets every spring.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Sunland
Yes, if your home sits in a designated high fire hazard severity zone, Los Angeles County requires the replacement roof to meet Chapter 7A ignition-resistant standards for the roof covering, underlayment, and edge details. Homes on the canyon-edge streets toward the Angeles National Forest boundary are most often affected. We check your property’s fire zone status before writing the scope so there are no surprises at permit. Call (866) 705-2978 to have your address checked.
Three layers of original wood shake, squirrel-chewed fascia, dry-rotted decking, and underlayment that hasn’t shed water properly in years. We’ve opened enough of these to write allowances into the contract before the first shingle comes off. On a 1962 ranch near the Verdugo foothills, our crew tore off three layers of shake and found the decking rotted in six places. We switched the homeowner to a GAF Timberline architectural shingle system with fire-rated underlayment and ice and water shield in the valleys, replaced the damaged fascia, added a ridge vent, and got the written change order approved before we nailed a single shingle. That’s how we handle every Sunland tear-off.
Yes. Wood shake comes off, skip-sheathing gets re-decked or overlaid with solid sheathing, and architectural shingles go on top of a fire-rated underlayment. The result is a roof that meets Chapter 7A, sheds embers instead of catching them, and holds up better under the valley sun. We do this conversion regularly on homes along Foothill Boulevard and the adjacent streets.
We write allowances into the contract for the upgrades a permit inspection can trigger: solid sheathing over skip-sheathing, ignition-resistant edge metal, improved nailing patterns, and ventilation corrections. If the inspector requires an upgrade, the allowance covers it and you approve the written change order before we proceed. No one starts a nail before you’ve seen the number. Call (866) 705-2978 and we’ll walk through what your roof might trigger.
We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Sunland’s UV-heavy summers and canyon-driven Santa Ana winds, we typically recommend architectural shingles with a high wind rating and a fire-rated underlayment. The brand recommendation depends on your roof’s pitch, your fire zone, and your budget. Seven manufacturer lines means you get the right material, not the one we happen to stock. Call (866) 705-2978 for a free estimate and we’ll make the call with you.
