Premium roofing solutions for Glendale homes
Glendale's diverse housing stock spans everything from hillside estates in the Verdugo Mountains to Mediterranean-style homes in the flats to large multi-family apartment complexes along Brand Boulevard. WesTec Roofing brings the versatility and depth of experience needed to serve this wide range of properties with consistently high-quality workmanship.
Glendale's architectural landscape is shaped by its geography and its growth across multiple eras. In the flatlands, Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial homes built from the 1920s through the 1940s feature clay tile and concrete tile roofing in warm earth tones. Mid-century ranch homes, particularly prevalent in the neighborhoods east of the 2 Freeway, carry composition shingle roofs with simple hip and gable configurations. Climbing into the Verdugo Hills, you find a mix of contemporary hillside builds and remodeled older homes, many with modern roofing materials including standing seam metal. Glendale also has a significant inventory of multi-family apartment buildings with flat roofs that require commercial-grade membrane systems. This variety means a Glendale roofer must be equally proficient with residential tile, composition shingle, and commercial flat roof applications.
Properties in the Verdugo Hills fall within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, where fire-rated roofing materials and ember-resistant construction details are mandatory under California building code. The inland location of Glendale exposes roofs to intense summer heat, with temperatures regularly exceeding those of coastal neighborhoods by ten degrees or more, accelerating the aging of shingles and causing thermal cycling stress on flat roof membranes. The wide range of building types across the city, from single-family homes to large apartment buildings, demands a contractor comfortable shifting between residential and light-commercial roofing techniques. Older multi-family flat roofs are particularly prone to failure as original built-up roofing systems reach the end of their useful life. Seismic considerations also apply to older structures carrying heavy clay tile loads that may need structural reinforcement during a re-roof.
Clay and concrete tile installation and restoration for Glendale's Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial homes. We work with both traditional barrel tile and modern flat-profile concrete tile, ensuring each installation meets fire-rating requirements while maintaining the home's intended aesthetic.
Commercial-grade TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen systems for Glendale's apartment buildings, duplexes, and flat-roofed structures. We engineer proper slope-to-drain configurations and install reflective membrane options that reduce cooling costs during Glendale's hot summers.
Complete tear-off and re-roofing for aging Glendale homes and buildings ready for a full system upgrade. Our replacement process includes a thorough structural assessment of the existing deck and framing, which is especially important for older properties carrying heavy tile loads in a seismically active region.
From the shops and restaurants along Brand Boulevard to the trails winding through the Verdugo Mountains, Glendale is a city that balances urban amenity with residential character. WesTec Roofing is committed to protecting the homes and buildings that make this community thrive. Get in touch for a free roofing consultation.
