We know Pasadena’s streets, its historic overlays, and its tight bungalow lots. That local knowledge changes how we stage, what we quote, and how we keep your neighbors from hating the sight of our trucks. From Bungalow Heaven to the Caltech-adjacent streets, we’ve replaced roofs on homes that demand more than a generic tear-off.

Why Marquis Roof Repair Is Pasadena’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company

Marquis Roof Repair has earned a strong local reputation in Pasadena for one reason: we investigate before we recommend. Ron Thibodeau leads every project with the same approach – diagnose the actual condition of the decking, underlayment, and flashing, then give you a straight answer on whether repair or Roof Replacement is the right call. Homeowners in Pasadena consistently tell us that honesty sets us apart from contractors who push the biggest job possible.

Our crews are on Pasadena roofs every week, which means we know the city’s permit process, historic review triggers, and the reality of working on a 1920s bungalow lot with no driveway staging. We pull permits properly, coordinate with the city when a landmark overlay is involved, and keep the jobsite clean enough that your neighbors won’t leave angry notes on the dumpster.

Since we install materials from seven major manufacturers – GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral – the recommendation you get is driven by your roof, your exposure, and your budget, not by whichever brand our supplier has in stock this week. That matters more in Pasadena than almost anywhere else in the San Gabriel Valley, because historic review can dictate what you’re even allowed to put back on.

Roof Replacement Contractor in Pasadena

A Roof Replacement Contractor in Pasadena handles full tear-off and reroof, including decking repair, underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and the final material install. Homeowners in Pasadena typically need this when the existing roof is 20-plus years old, the decking has water damage, or leaks have persisted through multiple patch repairs. The job runs $11,000 – $28,000 on most Pasadena homes, with the final number driven by material choice, roof pitch, decking condition, and site access.

Here’s what separates a Pasadena roof replacement from one in a newer tract neighborhood. You’re often working on a house that predates modern code, with rafter spacing that doesn’t match today’s panel sizing and eaves that extend two feet past the wall. That means the decking inspection is not a formality – it’s where we find the hidden cost drivers before they surprise you mid-project.

Decking Assessment and Replacement

On 1920s Craftsman and California bungalow homes, the roof decking is often 1×6 or 1×8 plank rather than plywood or OSB. We inspect every sheet and plank after tear-off, and we’re straightforward with you about what must be replaced versus what can stay. If the decking is sound, you don’t pay to replace it. If it’s rotted at the eaves or valleys, we show you photos before we write the change.

Historic Review Coordination

In Pasadena, several neighborhoods sit within historic districts or under landmark overlays. That can mean city review before visible changes to the roof – material swaps, color changes, even the profile of the replacement shingle. We’ve handled this process enough to know when it applies to your house and how to keep it from stalling your start date.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Pasadena

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Pasadena is the most common reroof we do, and it typically runs $9,500 – $18,500 depending on square footage, pitch, and whether you choose architectural or three-tab shingles. Most Pasadena homeowners go with architectural shingles for their dimensional look and 30 – 50 year manufacturer warranties, and because several historic districts accept them as compatible replacements when the original material is no longer practical.

The climate here is rough on asphalt. Long dry summers bake the asphalt and cause granule loss and cracking, while winter storms put the sealant strips to the test. That’s why we’re particular about nailing patterns, valley treatment, and underlayment on every Pasadena job – the roof has to survive both extremes in a single year.

Architectural Shingles for Older Homes

Architectural shingles give older Pasadena homes a thicker shadow line that reads well against period details. They’re also more resistant to wind lifting than three-tab, which matters on streets where the San Gabriel Mountain foothills funnel gusts down toward the Arroyo Seco.

Flat Roofing and Low-Slope Sections

Many Pasadena bungalows and Period Revival homes have low-slope sections over porches, additions, or covered patios. We address those correctly with membrane systems rather than forcing shingles onto a slope they’re not rated for. A shingle on a 2:12 pitch will leak, and we won’t install one there.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pasadena

As authorized installers for GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, we’re not married to a single manufacturer. That means a Boral tile recommendation on a Spanish Colonial in Pasadena is made because tile is the right material for that house and that historic context, not because it’s the only product we can sell. We stock common shingle profiles, underlayment, and flashing locally so we can pull materials quickly when a Pasadena homeowner calls. Seven manufacturer lines, one point of contact – built to the Marquis standard.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Pasadena Homes

• Deodar cedar and live oak debris in valleys. Mature trees overhang roofs across Pasadena, and needles and small limbs pack into valleys and behind fascia boards. If we don’t clear them at tear-off, the new underlayment and flashing degrade within a couple of seasons.
• Historic-district material restrictions. Some Pasadena homes are in landmark districts where the city must approve visible roof changes before permit issuance. We confirm your property’s status early so the crew never gets stopped mid-project.
• Roof decking rot at eaves and rafter tails. Older bungalows often have exposed rafter tails that wick moisture back into the decking. We inspect the first two feet of decking at every eave line, because that’s where Pasadena roofs fail first.
• Tile-to-shingle swaps flagged during review. Homeowners sometimes assume they can trade original clay tile for asphalt shingles. On landmark-overlay properties, that swap may not be permitted at all. We start the material conversation with the historic review, not the roof deck.
