Malibu Roofing Built for Salt, Wind, and Wildfire.

Almost certainly. Nearly all of unincorporated Malibu, most of the City of Malibu, and every canyon between PCH and the 101 sit inside a VHFHSZ. That means Cal Fire and LA County Chapter 7A ember-resistant construction rules apply to any re-roof — including Class A assembly and ember-resistant vent screening. We handle the compliance paperwork with your permit.

Concrete tile, clay tile, and Kynar-finished standing-seam metal are the three materials that consistently outlast marine exposure in Malibu. All three carry 50-year material warranties. Asphalt shingle works but expects a 20–25 year lifespan on the ocean side vs. 30–35 inland. Every flashing detail must be stainless steel, copper, or marine-grade galvanized — never bare steel.

Yes. We've completed 40+ post-Woolsey rebuilds across Point Dume, Malibu Park, and the Palisades. We work directly with insurance carriers, provide line-item scopes matching Xactimate, coordinate with your public adjuster, and phase the roof to unlock other trades. Bring us the loss report and we'll build the scope.

Sometimes. Visible material changes on Malibu ridge-line lots, ocean-view lots, and inside HOAs (Malibu Colony, Point Dume Club, Malibu West) typically require design review or HOA approval. Same-in-kind re-roofs (tile-for-tile, shingle-for-shingle, same color family) usually skip design review. We'll flag this on your estimate.

Typical Malibu re-roofs run $32,000 to $95,000+ depending on square footage, material, pitch, and Chapter 7A compliance work. Beachfront and bluff lots with copper flashing, standing-seam metal, or stone-coated steel run higher. Every quote is fixed line-item — including permit and Chapter 7A vent conversion.

Yes — usually same day. We keep a dispatch crew based in the West Valley that reaches Malibu, Topanga, and Pacific Palisades within 90 minutes. Emergency tarping and water-intrusion control are billed separately from the eventual repair, and we document every step for your insurance claim.
