Fast, Reliable Roof Repair Across Pasadena
Roof repair in Pasadena runs $450 – $1,900 for most jobs, and homeowners who act on leaks, cracked flashing, or missing shingles before the winter rains typically avoid the rot that doubles or triples the work later. Our crews know Pasadena’s older roof stock from Atwater Street to Bungalow Heaven: 1900 – 1930 Craftsman bungalows, Period Revival homes with complex rooflines, and mature trees whose limbs press against shingles and valleys. We inspect first, show you what’s actually wrong, and price the fix honestly. Call (866) 705-2978 for a free estimate.
Why Marquis Roof Repair Is Pasadena’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
We built our reputation in Pasadena by doing something rare: opening a roof, finding what’s actually there, and explaining it before we touch anything else. Ron Thibodeau leads every estimate with the same question – what’s the roof telling you? Because on 1920s bungalows and Spanish Colonial Revivals near Orange Grove and Madison Heights, what the roof tells you is rarely simple. Our crews know those roofs. We know the deodar cedar debris that clogs valleys on tree-lined streets like Oak Knoll. We know the clay tile profiles the city’s historic-preservation staff expects on landmark homes east of Arroyo Seco.
Access to seven manufacturer lines means we’re not here to sell you whatever’s in the warehouse. GAF, CertainTeed, Tamko, Boral – we recommend based on your roof, not our inventory. That’s how Roof Repair should work. From first inspection to final shingle, one name handles it. Homeowners in Pasadena call us because the estimate explains itself – and the repair does too.
Styles & brands we work with
Metal Roof Repair in Pasadena
Metal Roof Repair in Pasadena typically costs $550 – $1,900, and we see it most on commercial buildings along Colorado Boulevard and older Spanish Revival homes that used metal for porch roofs or accent sections. Pasadena’s intense summer sun cycles between hot days and cool nights, and metal panels expand and contract enough that fasteners loosen and seams open over time. A small leak at a seam on a low-slope metal roof can sit unnoticed through months of dry heat, then flood the moment a real storm arrives.
Panel Seam and Fastener Repair
We track down loose fasteners, failing sealant, and stretched seams, then repair them with rated sealant and replacement fasteners. On commercial metal roofs near Caltech and the PCC campus, this often saves a full panel replacement.
Rusted or Damaged Panel Replacement
Where rust or impact damage has compromised the steel, we cut out the damaged section and install a matching panel with factory-backed fastening. For historic-listed buildings, we match metal profiles and finishes before we cut anything.
Commercial Roof Repair in Pasadena
Commercial Roof Repair in Pasadena is a regular part of our week, from flat-roof patching on Old Pasadena retail buildings to metal roof repair on light-industrial shops north of the 210. These buildings often sit with low-slope or torch-down roofs that collect the city’s deodar cedar needles and oak leaves for years, until a valley or drain clogs and ponding begins. We inspect first, map every soft spot, and lay out the repair scope in writing before work starts.
Flat Roof Patch and Drain Clearing
Low-slope roofs fail at drains and penetrations most often. In Pasadena’s older commercial blocks, we clear the drain lines, remove wet insulation, and patch membranes so water can’t pool where it used to.
Flashing and Parapet Repairs
Parapet walls and scuppers leak on almost every older commercial building we touch. We rebuild flashing, seal terminations, and use the right membrane for the roof type – so the repair holds past the next Santa Ana wind event.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pasadena
Seven manufacturer lines, one point of contact. Marquis Roof Repair is authorized to install products from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral – so when a Pasadena home needs a specific tile profile or shingle matched, we’re not sorting through a single-brand catalog hoping something fits. We stock the most-used repair materials for Pasadena’s common roof types, which means faster turnaround when a valley opens up in a January storm. The right material for your roof, not whatever happens to be on the truck.
Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Pasadena Homes
- Deferred chimney and skylight flashing: Period Revival homes around San Marino Avenue and surrounding streets carry complex rooflines, and flashing that hasn’t been touched in 25 years lets water behind fascia and soffit long before you see a ceiling stain.
- Cracked original tile and hidden underlayment failure: Original clay tile and wood shingle on 1910s – 1930s bungalows cracks under UV and debris. The tile looks fine, but the underlayment beneath has gone to dust.
- Valley clogs under mature trees: Bungalow Heaven and the Caltech-adjacent streets hold huge deodar cedars and live oaks whose needles and limbs clog valleys every dry season. Water backs up, finds the decking, and the damage goes until it shows inside.
- Historic-district repair delays turning to rot: When a roof needs repair in a landmark overlay home and the owner waits on preservation approvals, a small leak turns into rotted decking and sheathing. Our team knows those approval paths and can often start the non-visible repair work while the finish materials get cleared.

FAQs About Roof Repair in Pasadena
Yes, and it depends on the district. In designated historic districts and on landmark-registered properties, the city reviews visible roof changes – material, profile, color – before work proceeds. Repairs that restore the existing material typically clear faster than visible swaps. We know the approval paths in Bungalow Heaven and other protected neighborhoods and can file submittals while non-visible work (decking, underlayment, structural repair) moves forward. Call (866) 705-2978 for a straight answer about your specific property.
We photograph it, show you in person, and price the extra work on a written change order before we touch it. Every Pasadena quote includes an allowance for the decking and flashing failures these older homes typically reveal, and no surprise gets priced after the fact. Call (866) 705-2978 if you want an inspection-first repair estimate.
Clear the valleys and scuppers first, then repair the underlying damage the debris caused. We also trim back only what’s necessary to let water flow, because most of Pasadena’s older trees are protected and pruning requires care. Neighborhoods like Bungalow Heaven hold enormous deodar cedars whose needles will return every dry season, so we build clearing into our annual roof maintenance recommendations. Call (866) 705-2978 for a free estimate on homes with heavy tree cover.
Yes. We repair metal roofs on low-slope commercial buildings throughout Pasadena, including Old Pasadena storefronts and the warehouse district north of the 210. Most repairs involve seam resealing, fastener replacement, or section patching – and we stock common metal roof profiles locally so turnaround is faster. Call (866) 705-2978 to schedule a commercial roof inspection.
Because the original roof wasn’t built to today’s standards, and once the decking is opened, the city wants the repair to meet current code. On pre-1930 Pasadena homes, that often means adding proper underlayment, upgrading the roof sheathing, or bringing fire-rated assembly materials onto a roof in the wildland-urban interface. We build those allowances into the repair quote so you’re not surprised when the inspector signs off. Call (866) 705-2978 for an exact estimate on your roof.
