Which Types of Roofing Systems Work Best in Southern California?
Most asphalt shingle roof replacements on Burbank homes cost between $10,000 and $25,000. Where your project falls in that range depends mainly on the size and shape of your roof, how many old layers need to come off, and the condition of the wood underneath. Here’s what drives the price, and how to get an accurate number for your home.
What’s Included in a Full Roof Replacement
A complete replacement from Ikon Roofing includes tearing the old roof down to the decking, inspecting the wood underneath, installing new underlayment and flashing, and installing your new shingles. We handle the City of Burbank permit and final inspection, clean up daily, and run a magnetic sweep for stray nails at the end. Every replacement includes our 10-year leak-free preventive maintenance program, on top of the manufacturer’s warranty.
What Makes a Roof Cost More
Multiple layers. Many older Burbank homes have two or even three layers of roofing, sometimes with wood shakes underneath. Every layer has to be removed, which adds labor and disposal costs.
Damaged wood. Rotted decking, rafters, or fascia boards have to be replaced before a new roof goes on. This often can’t be seen until the old roof comes off. If we find it, we show you and explain the cost before any additional work is done.
Steep roofs. Steeper pitches require extra safety equipment and take longer to work on.
Two-story homes and difficult access. Height and access affect how materials get on and off the roof.
Size and complexity. More valleys, skylights, chimneys, and roof planes mean more detail work and flashing.
Material choice. Upgraded shingle lines cost more than standard architectural shingles.
Burbank Requirements That Affect Your Roof
Permits. Roof replacements in Burbank require a permit. We handle the entire process, from application to final inspection.
Cool roof rules. Under California’s Title 24 energy code, replacing more than half of a roof generally requires a cool roof product rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council. We’ll confirm what applies to your home and recommend compliant options.
Fire ratings. Homes in hillside fire zones typically require Class A fire-rated roofing. We’ll check your property’s zone during the estimate.
What About Repairs, Tile, and Flat Roofs?
Repair costs vary widely depending on what’s causing the problem, so we don’t quote repairs without seeing the roof first. Tile and flat roof projects (TPO, torch-down) are also priced individually, because the cost depends heavily on the roof’s design and condition. In every case, you’ll get photos of what we find and a written price before any work begins.
