Why Marquis Roof Repair Is Burbank’s Preferred Roof Repair Company

Burbank homes are not like the rest of LA County stock. Ours are largely 1940s to 60s single-story tract builds with low-slope or near-flat roofs, which means the work we do here is seam and flashing repair on modified bitumen, TPO, and built-up tar-and-gravel, not ridge-and-shingle patch jobs. A roofer who only swings a nail gun all day is not the right roofer for a Rancho or Magnolia Park house with a 2:12 roof pitch and 60 years of layered membrane. That’s where our Roof Repair team spends most of its Burbank call volume.

When you call Marquis, you get Ron Thibodeau’s crew, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. Ron built the company around one idea: investigate before you recommend. That matters here. We pull back the cap sheet, check the deck, trace the water path, and only then tell you whether this is a $600 flashing fix or a full re-roof. We carry seven manufacturer lines, including GAF, CertainTeed, and Tamko, so when we do recommend a product, it’s because it matches your roof and your budget, not because it’s the only brand on the truck.

Commercial Roof Repair in Burbank

Commercial Roof Repair in Burbank is a different animal from residential work, and it’s concentrated in the downtown corridor and media district, where flat mid-rise buildings with TPO or modified bitumen roofs bake under relentless Valley UV. These roofs fail at scuppers, parapet transitions, and HVAC curbs long before the field membrane gives out, so most commercial calls we take here are for ponding water, split seams, and flashing that has pulled away from the wall. A typical commercial repair in Burbank runs $900 – $4,500 depending on how many penetrations are involved and whether we’re cutting out wet insulation.

We also handle the older one- and two-story retail strips along Magnolia Boulevard and Burbank Boulevard, many of which are still sitting on original built-up tar-and-gravel from the 1970s and 80s. Those roofs have already had one layover too many, so when a seam opens, the right fix often means a full tear-off back to the deck in that section, then a new base sheet and cap sheet tied into the existing system.

What a Commercial Repair Involves

We start with a water test or thermal scan to find the actual entry point, which is rarely where the ceiling tile is stained. Then we open the membrane, dry or replace any wet insulation, and re-secure the flashing or edge metal that failed. If the roof is old enough that it’s patched with six different generations of mastic, we’ll tell you honestly whether repair is still the smart money.

When Repair Beats Replacement on a Burbank Flat Roof

If your building has 5 to 8 years of serviceable roof left and the deck is dry, a targeted repair at $1,200 clears the problem now and buys you time to budget for a full replacement on your schedule, not under emergency pressure. That’s the repair-first approach Ron insists on. We’ll show you photos of what we opened and what we found, and then you decide.

Roof Leak Repair in Burbank

Roof Leak Repair in Burbank usually traces back to a failed seam or a wall transition, not a hole in the middle of the roof. On the 1940s – 60s tract homes across Rancho, Magnolia Park, and Toluca Woods, the original built-up tar-and-gravel is often still underneath a newer TPO or modified bitumen layer, so water travels along the old membrane and exits at the ceiling far from where it entered. Finding that path takes a roofer who knows these roofs, not a generalist with a bucket of tar. Leak repairs here typically run $350 – $1,400 depending on whether we’re re-sealing one penetration or rebuilding a wall-to-roof flashing detail.

Where Burbank Leaks Actually Start

The most common entry points are scuppers, pipe boots, and the flashing where a flat or low-slope roof meets the back wall of the house. After a decade of triple-digit summers, the sealant shrinks and cracks, and the first winter rain finds it. Our Roof Repair in Burbank work usually starts with a visual inspection of those details before we touch the field.

Leak Repair vs. Recurring Leaks

If you’ve had the same leak patched twice, the roofer wasn’t finding the source. We pull the membrane at the suspect transition and inspect the deck underneath. In Burbank specifically, we often find dry rot at the edge of the sheathing where water sat against the fascia for years before anyone noticed. That’s a real repair with new wood, not another tube of sealant.

Trusted Brands We Service in Burbank

Because we install and repair products from seven manufacturers, including CertainTeed, Boral, and Tamko, we’re not stuck recommending one brand for every Burbank roof. That’s the advantage we talk about the most: the right material for your roof, not the right material for our supplier. We stock common repair materials for Burbank’s dominant roof types, which means faster turnaround when your edge metal lifts after a wind event or your scupper seal fails in the middle of a rain week.

Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Burbank Homes

• Santa Ana edge lift: After a hard wind event, we get calls from Magnolia Park and Rancho homeowners whose perimeter edge metal and cap sheet have peeled back at the fascia. The real problem is often 60-year-old built-up membrane underneath, which means we remove layered patches and fasten a proper drip edge and edge metal that the next wind event can’t grab.
• Seam and flashing failures at wall transitions: The original tar-and-gravel on Burbank tract homes sits under a newer membrane layer, and the seam between the two hides the actual deck condition. Water doesn’t enter through the field; it enters where the roof meets a load-bearing wall, a scupper, or a curb, so that’s where we look first.
• UV-aged penetrations and scuppers: Triple-digit Valley heat and months of direct sun degrade sealant and underlayment around roof penetrations faster than the membrane itself. We regularly find dried, cracked pipe boots and scupper seals on homes that otherwise look fine from the curb.
• Layover failures on original built-up roofs: Many Burbank homes have a newer membrane laid over the original 4-ply tar-and-gravel. When the new layer fails, the only proper fix is often a tear-off to the deck in that section, which changes the scope and price of what looked like a simple patch.
