If the roof still has good years left, the report tells you.
Roof repair, roof replacement and a free written roof inspection in Santa Clarita, for houses, condos, HOA and apartment buildings. The median home in Valencia’s ZIP code 91355 was built in 1984, and in Newhall’s 91321 in 1978, according to the Census Bureau. Many of those roofs are past their first covering.
Deck, underlayment, then shingles or tile. The underlayment keeps the water out, and you can only check it from up on the roof.
What we check on a Santa Clarita roof
Tract roofs from the seventies and eighties, many of them with solar on top.
Solar on the roof
Panels cover part of many valley roofs. We note where the array sits, the condition of the roofing under and around it, and the flashing at each mount we can see.
Layers and decking
A house from 1984 has usually been re-roofed once. We check for an older layer left in place and the state of the sheathing at the eaves.
Ember entry points near the canyons
The Tick Fire burned through Canyon Country in 2019. On canyon-edge streets the report notes open vents, gaps at the eaves and debris in the gutters.
Before the rain in Santa Clarita
Tract roofs from the seventies and eighties, and canyon lots that collect leaves and grit.
Vent boots and flashing
Rubber collars around plumbing vents crack after years of valley heat. They are a small part and a common first leak of the season.
Under the solar array
Leaves and debris collect beneath panels where no one sees them. Packed debris holds water against the shingles at the next storm.
Gutters near the canyons
Lots by the open space fill gutters fast. A full gutter backs rain up under the roof edge in the first long storm.
Before the first big storm: book the free roof check, or read our winter storm roof guide.

Who signs off on a Santa Clarita roof
Santa Clarita has been its own city since 1987, so the city permits the work and the county fire department serves it.
Building & Safety issues the re-roof permit and inspects twice: the bare roof deck after tear-off, then the finished roof.
If the solar system is changed while it is off the roof, the city requires its own permit, plus a clearance form signed by the homeowner before the re-roof permit.
The city contracts with the Los Angeles County Fire Department. The report notes your address’s fire zone status in writing.
We get on the roof, photograph what we find and write it up.

Carriers often judge a roof from aerial imagery. A dated written report with the roof’s age, remaining life and photos of each slope, solar array included, gives your insurance agent something specific to send.

Roof questions in Santa Clarita
Repair or replace?
Usually the underlayment decides it, and you have to get on the roof to check that. The report gives you the answer, with photos.
What does a new roof change for my insurer?
Most letters name roof age. The permit and completion papers show the new roof’s date; what the carrier does with them is its decision.
Do I need a permit for a small roof repair in Santa Clarita?
Per the city’s re-roofing policy sheet, a repair under 10 percent of the roof area or 200 square feet, whichever is smaller, that leaves the solar system alone is exempt. A larger repair or a re-roof takes a permit and the city’s inspections.
Roof age, condition and solar on one page.
A free written report with roof age, remaining life and the roofing around the solar array. After the inspection you get a written quote.
