Pasadena Roofing & Restoration
Pasadena's historic Craftsman, Spanish, and Mediterranean homes need restorers — not just roofers. We bring craft.
Roofing in Pasadena — From Locals Who Know the Area
Pasadena is one of LA's most architecturally significant cities — home to the Greene & Greene Gamble House, dozens of National Register Craftsman bungalows, and major historic districts. The City of Pasadena runs its own building department with strong historic preservation enforcement, and we work with their reviewers regularly. We've done dozens of Mills Act and historic district re-roofs here, sourcing heritage tile, salvaged slate, and period-correct shake.
We're Mills Act and historic preservation-experienced. We submit Certificates of Appropriateness for visible exterior changes, source heritage materials, and work to standards that hold up to historic review.

Pasadena Roofing Questions
Does Pasadena have its own building permits?
Yes — separate from LA County. The City of Pasadena Department of Planning and Permitting handles roof permits. We submit there regularly.
What about Mills Act / historic district homes?
We're experienced. Bungalow Heaven, Garfield Heights, Madison Heights, and other districts have strict review for visible exterior changes. We submit Certificates of Appropriateness.
Can you match original cedar shake on a Craftsman?
Yes — fire-rated alternatives only (Pasadena requires Class A). We use Class A composition shake, stone-coated steel shake, or synthetic cedar that visually matches the original.
How much does a Pasadena Craftsman re-roof cost?
1,800 sq ft Craftsman bungalow: $14,000-$25,000 for Class A composition with tear-off. Synthetic cedar shake: $25,000-$42,000. Heritage clay tile (Spanish Pasadena): $35,000-$60,000.
