The Pasadena roofer who's worked in Bungalow Heaven and Oak Knoll.

Pasadena is Craftsman country — Greene & Greene, Charles Sumner, Sylvanus Marston — and it's also the city that gets the hardest Santa Ana wind hits in the LA basin. That combination (100-year-old wood-frame homes with wind-loading that regularly exceeds 60 mph) is why Pasadena re-roofs need both historic sensitivity and modern wind-uplift certified systems. California First Roofing has been re-roofing Pasadena since 2004 across Bungalow Heaven, Prospect Park, Madison Heights, Oak Knoll, and Linda Vista.

Pasadena also enforces two overlapping historic overlays: Landmark Districts (Bungalow Heaven, Garfield Heights) and citywide historic zoning. Visible exterior work in either requires Design Review through the City of Pasadena. Same-in-kind re-roofs typically skip design review; material changes require submission. We handle the process.

Post-Eaton fire, we're also working the Altadena–Pasadena rebuild pipeline: pulling permits, coordinating with public adjusters, and re-roofing to Chapter 7A ember-resistant standards for VHFHSZ-adjacent properties along the foothill line.

Frequently asked · Pasadena

Pasadena roofing questions, answered.

Do I need Pasadena Design Review for a re-roof?

If your home is in a Landmark District (Bungalow Heaven, Garfield Heights) or is a designated historic resource, yes — for any material or color change. Same-in-kind re-roofs (same material, same profile, same color family) typically qualify for staff-level review in 2–4 weeks. We prepare and submit the application.

What roofing material handles Pasadena Santa Ana wind best?

Concrete tile with wind-rated mechanical fastening, and 6-nail architectural composition shingle (GAF Timberline HDZ, CertainTeed Landmark Solaris, Owens Corning Duration Storm) both hold through 90+ mph events. The failure point in most Pasadena wind claims is starter strip and hip/ridge — not the field. We install both to hurricane-grade spec by default.

Can you restore a Bungalow Heaven Landmark District Craftsman?

Yes. We regularly work Bungalow Heaven with historic-appropriate re-roofs — usually GAF Timberline HDZ or CertainTeed Presidential in a color matched to the original, with box-gutter rebuild and copper valley detail. We submit the Design Review application with elevation photos and color samples.

How much does a Pasadena tile re-roof cost?

Typical Pasadena tile re-roofs run $26,000 to $75,000 depending on square footage, tile profile, roof pitch, and copper work. Oak Knoll and San Rafael estates with hand-cut hips and copper valleys price at the top of that range. Landmark District paperwork and permits are itemized separately.

Are you certified to rebuild post-Eaton fire homes?

Yes. CSLB #1094851, current with LA County Building & Safety on Chapter 7A ember-resistant construction for VHFHSZ-adjacent properties along the Altadena–Pasadena foothill line. We work directly with insurance carriers on line-item scopes and coordinate with your public adjuster.

Do you pull the City of Pasadena permit for me?

Yes. We pull the re-roof permit through City of Pasadena Building & Safety (residential and multi-family), coordinate all required inspections, and hand you the final signed card. Permit fees are itemized on your estimate — no hidden markup.
