Roofers in Altadena, CA
Roof inspection in Altadena starts with understanding what this foothill community has been through since January 2025. The Eaton Fire didn’t just damage roofs – it changed how every roof here gets evaluated, repaired, and replaced. Hollywood Roofing Co has served Altadena since 2016, and we’ve spent the past year working through a rebuilding landscape unlike any other in Los Angeles County. Whether you need a post-fire condition assessment, ember-damage repair, or a full replacement built to current WUI code, call us at (833) 589-7971. We inspect first, recommend honestly, and never push a replacement when a repair does the job.
Why Altadena Homes Are Different
Altadena isn’t a tract-home suburb. The housing stock runs to century-old Craftsman bungalows and 1920s-1950s custom builds on large foothill lots – homes with original wood-shingle or clay-tile roofs, exposed rafter tails, and steep, complicated rooflines that need individual attention, not assembly-line work. These roofs were built before modern underlayment and ventilation standards existed, so what’s underneath the surface matters as much as what’s on top.
The location changes everything about how roofing performs here. Altadena sits directly against the San Gabriel Mountains at the base of the Angeles National Forest. Santa Ana winds come down those canyons hard enough to strip shingles and drive embers deep into eaves and valleys. Summers bring intense UV that ages roofing fast. Winter brings occasional frost. And in the foothill neighborhoods north of Altadena Drive, roofs often carry decades of pine needles and oak leaf litter in valleys and behind chimneys – hidden fuel that turns a minor ember into a total loss. Post-Eaton, we now routinely recommend ember-resistant vents and Class A assemblies for hillside homes that never had them.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Altadena Services
Two services dominate the calls we get from Altadena homeowners right now: repairs for storm, wind, and ember damage, and full replacements for homes rebuilding after the Eaton Fire. Both start with an honest inspection.
Roof Repair in Altadena
Repair work in Altadena runs from targeted fixes – replacing wind-stripped shingles, sealing ember-damaged flashing, clearing debris from valleys – to larger partial replacements on older Craftsman roofs where the original framing is still sound. The steep pitches and complex rooflines common in Altadena make repair work more demanding than on a standard suburban roof, but often far more cost-effective than replacement. Roof Repair in Altadena covers the full scope of what we do.
Roof Replacement in Altadena
Replacements in Altadena are different now than they were in 2024. Fire-rated assembly requirements under WUI code, ember-resistant venting, and the practical realities of rebuilding on steep foothill lots all shape the job. We work through seven major material brands to match the right system to your home’s architecture and your budget – from premium GAF and CertainTeed systems to value-tier IKO and Tamko options. Roof Replacement in Altadena walks through the full process.

Roof Inspection in Altadena
Roof inspections in Altadena have taken on new weight since the Eaton Fire swept through the foothill neighborhoods west of Lake Avenue in January 2025. Homeowners across ZIP codes 91001 and 91003 are asking the same question: is my roof still sound, or did wind, embers, and ash compromise it in ways I can’t see from the ground? An inspection answers that question with documentation and a clear condition report. Roof Inspection is a standalone service for us – not a sales appointment wearing a different name. You get an honest assessment you can act on at your own pace, whether that’s a repair, a replacement, or simply keeping an eye on things for another year.
Roof Inspection Services
Signs you need it
If you haven’t had the roof checked since the Eaton Fire, or you’re seeing granule wash-off, cracked tiles, lifted shingles, or water stains on ceilings, it’s time.
What it costs in Altadena
A standard roof inspection in Altadena runs $150 – $300, depending on roof size, pitch, and whether it’s a post-fire condition check or a routine assessment.

We walk the roof surface, check flashing, valleys, vents, and penetrations, document findings with photos, and deliver a written report with clear repair or replacement recommendations.
Hail Damage Roof
Signs you need it
Hail is rare in Altadena, but when it hits, you’ll see dents in metal flashing, cracked tiles, or bruised shingles with spots where granules are missing.

A hail damage assessment is part of a standard inspection at $150 – $300, with documented findings for any insurance claim.
How we do it
We inspect all roof planes, document impact points, check gutters for granule accumulation, and provide a report your insurer can use for a claim.

If you’re deciding between repair and replacement and want straight answers before committing to a project, a free inspection gives you that baseline.

Roof Estimate
Signs you need it
If you’re budgeting for a roof replacement in Altadena and need a hard number rather than a ballpark, a written estimate is the next step.

Brands We Service in Altadena
We’re authorized installers across seven major roofing brands, so your recommendation comes from what’s right for your Altadena home, not what a single supplier pushes.

Our brands are stocked locally, with most materials available within days.

What Altadena Customers Say
"Storm took part of the ridge off at night. They tarped it the same evening so the rain didn't get in, and did the real repair the following week."
— Kurt Norris"Valley had been done without proper underlayment and was leaking. Redone correctly, and he explained exactly what had been wrong so I could understand it."
— Jessica Tran"Full replacement after the hail. They handled the insurance adjuster meeting, documented everything, and I did not have to argue with anybody. Crew was here three days and the yard was cleaner when they left than when they started."
— Doug Ziegler
