Whether you are putting up a new house, raising a second story, finishing an ADU, or switching roofing materials altogether, a new roof installation is your one chance to get the whole system right before anything is built over it. Burbank Roofing installs new roofs across the east Valley in tile, composition shingle, and low-slope flat systems, assembled from the deck upward with proper underlayment, sound flashing, real edge protection, and the right ventilation. We pull the permit, install to the manufacturer's written spec, satisfy the current California energy and fire requirements wherever they apply, and pass inspection, so the roof performs the way it should from its very first day.

- The complete assembly built up from the deck
- Cool-roof and fire-zone requirements met where they apply
- Permit pulled and the work inspected to current code

- A free, no-pressure consultation to start
Choosing the roof that fits the particular Burbank home
A new roof begins with picking the material that suits the house, the budget, and the setting, and we lay out the genuine trade-offs rather than nudging you toward whatever product is easiest for us to move. Tile is a fine match for a great many Burbank homes, both for the look that belongs to so much of the town's older architecture and for its long service life and natural fire resistance, though it carries real weight and needs a structure rated to bear it. Composition shingle is easier on the budget, comes in cool-roof rated versions that genuinely matter under the Valley sun, and is simple to repair down the road. Flat low-slope membranes are the right answer for the modern and multifamily designs that line many streets near the studios. Which way to go depends on the design, the structure, and how long you plan to stay.
Because our business is installing the roof rather than pushing one particular product, the recommendation you get is rooted in what truly fits your circumstances. A foothill home inside a fire zone, a flat-deck modern near the lots, and a classic stucco-and-tile house each lean toward a different system, and we give you the honest side-by-side comparison and leave the final call to you.
Assembled correctly, from the deck to the ridge
A new roof is a great deal more than the material you see from the curb. On new construction, additions, and ADUs we assemble the whole system from the deck upward. We confirm the sheathing is sound, lay quality underlayment with the right protection at the eaves, the valleys, and any low-slope transitions, fit new flashing at every penetration and every wall, set clean edge metal, and finish with the roofing material itself. Each layer carries its own job, and the roof only performs when every one of them works as a piece. On a tile roof especially, it is the underlayment and the fastening detail that keep the home dry, and getting those right on a new build sets the roof up to last for decades.
Ventilation is designed in from the very start, which is one of the real advantages of getting the roof right on a new build. In this climate the chief concern is shedding heat, because a hot, unvented attic bakes the roofing from underneath and runs up the cooling bills all summer in a town that already runs hot. A balanced arrangement of intake and exhaust keeps the attic nearer the outside temperature and shields the roof from the very heat that wears out so many Burbank roofs ahead of their time. Inside a fire-hazard zone, the vent details also have to answer for ember resistance, and a new installation is exactly the right moment to build that in from the beginning.
By the book, signed off, and stood behind
Any new roof deserves to be done squarely by the rules. We take out whatever permit the job calls for, install to the manufacturer's specification so the material warranty stays valid, satisfy the California energy and fire requirements that apply to your home, and have the work inspected the way code demands. Skipping any of those corners might shave a little off the price up front, but it puts the warranty, the insurance, and the future sale of the home all at risk, and that is simply not how we work.
Fitting the roof into the wider build is part of doing the job right. On new construction, additions, and ADUs the roof has to land at the proper moment in the sequence, after the framing and the sheathing are set and in step with the trades around it, so the structure gets dried in without holding up everything that follows. We stay in steady contact with the owner and, where it applies, the general contractor so the install is timed well, rather than treating the roof as some stray task dropped into the middle of a project.
It begins with an unhurried conversation about your project. We study the plans or the structure itself, walk through the material options and what each one means for cost, weight, fire rating, and the finished look of the home, and put a clear written estimate in your hands with the scope spelled out. When the new roof is finished, you receive the paperwork, the manufacturer's coverage, and our own workmanship warranty layered on top of it, so the roof over your new space is one you can simply stop thinking about.
