Roofers in Burbank, CA
Burbank roofers work on homes and buildings that don’t fit a single mold: ranch houses from the 1940s with original wood shake, Spanish-style homes from the 1930s, and flat-roofed studio and commercial buildings all sit within a few miles of each other. The dry heat, Santa Ana winds, and occasional heavy winter rain mean a Burbank roof has to handle fire risk and drainage pressure at the same time. Mercer Roofing handles repairs and full installations across the city, always with a written price before any work starts. Call us at (213) 521-8272.
Why Burbank Homes Are Different
Burbank’s housing stock runs older than most of the San Fernando Valley. Single-story ranch and Spanish-style homes built between the 1930s and 1960s still make up a large share of the city, and many of them are on their second or third roof by now. That matters because an older roof replacement in Burbank rarely means simply tearing off old shingles. It often means reworking flashing that has outlived its sealant, replacing decking that has gone soft in one corner, and correcting slope or drainage where the original design didn’t account for how water moves off a low-pitch section.
The hillside neighborhoods above Bel Aire Drive add another layer. We see wood shake roofs there that are still in place under grandfather rules, but the moment a significant repair is required, the code requires a switch to Class A fire-rated material. That triggers permit work and sometimes a full re-roof rather than a patch job. We walk homeowners through what the city requires so there aren’t surprises mid-job. The flat and low-slope roofs common on commercial and studio-adjacent buildings have their own failure points: pooled water after winter rain, cracked seams around vents, and drainage paths that silt up with dust from dry-season wind. In Burbank, a roofer who only knows shingles misses half the city’s roofs.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Burbank Services
Burbank homeowners usually call us for one of three reasons: a roof that is actively leaking, a roof that needs to come off and be replaced, or a general roofing company they can trust to inspect, advise, and handle either extreme. Each service page covers its own pricing, process, and Burbank-specific details.
Roof Repair in Burbank
Roof repair in Burbank usually means finding water where it shouldn’t be, and that often starts with failed flashing around chimneys, vents, or the low-pitch transitions common on older ranch homes. The dry heat ages sealant faster than people expect, and when winter rain arrives, the gaps let water in. We identify the source, quote the fix in writing, and include a written guarantee with every repair. If a repair doesn’t hold within 365 days, we come back free. It’s part of our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Learn more about Roof Repair in Burbank.
Roofing Company in Burbank
As a full Roofing Company in Burbank, we handle the full range: inspections, repairs, replacements, and the coordination work that comes with Burbank’s specific permit and fire-code requirements. Every technician who comes to your door is background-checked, identity-verified, and wearing a clean, marked uniform with a photo ID badge. You’ll know their name and see their photo before they arrive. That’s the Threshold Verified standard, and it’s the same on every visit, no matter how small the job.
Roof Installation in Burbank
Full roof installation in Burbank usually means either replacing an aging asphalt shingle roof on a ranch or Spanish-style home, or, in the hills, converting from wood shake to a Class A fire-rated system that meets current wildfire hardening codes. We work with manufacturer-recognized shingle brands including GAF and CertainTeed, and we put the full scope and price in writing before the first nail is driven. Read about Roof Installation in Burbank for costs, timelines, and what to expect from start to finish.

AfterPricing for Roofers in Burbank, CA
Burbank pricing reflects the age and variety of the city’s roofs. A straightforward shingle patch on a one-story ranch costs far less than re-flashing a low-slope section on a 1950s addition or replacing rotted decking underneath. Here’s what you can expect roughly, before a free inspection pins down the exact figure.
| Service | Typical range in Burbank |
|---|---|
| Minor shingle repair | $250 – $600 |
| Flashing repair around chimney or vent | $400 – $900 |
| Roof decking repair (per sheet, installed) | $120 – $300 |
| Underlayment replacement (per 100 sq ft, open deck) | $90 – $180 |
| Typical repair call (labor + basic materials, less materials markup) | $350 – $700 |
| Complete asphalt shingle roof replacement (per square, materials + labor) | $550 – $850 |
| Full roof replacement on a 1,800 sq ft home | $9,900 – $15,300 |
| Flat or low-slope roof membrane (per square) | $700 – $1,100 |
| Roof cleaning | $300 – $650 |
| Roof inspection | $0 (free with a repair scope) |
What pushes a Burbank roofing price upward is usually access and existing structure: hillside lots with steep pitches, wood shake tear-off and disposal, or rot discovered after shingles come off. Whatever the job, Mercer Roofing gives you a written price before any work starts – and that price holds. No surprise line items, no change orders you didn’t approve first.

FAQs About Roofers in Burbank
Most Burbank homeowners can get an inspection scheduled within a day or two, depending on current call volume and weather. An active leak with water coming through the ceiling is different, and we treat that as urgent. Call (213) 521-8272 and a live person will answer, day or night.
Most full roof replacements in Burbank do require a permit, and hillside wood shake-to-Class A conversions almost always do. Mercer Roofing handles the permit paperwork and makes sure the inspection gets scheduled. Repairs that don’t change the roof structure often don’t need one, but we’ll confirm before work begins.
Yes. Before every visit, we send you the technician’s name and photo. When they arrive, they’ll be in a marked uniform and present a photo ID badge at the door. That’s the Threshold Verified standard on every job, and it’s not optional.
