Roofing Contractor in San Pasqual, CA

Adjoining East Pasadena, San Pasqual is a very small unincorporated area of older homes, about 35 miles and 65 minutes from our Torrance base. There are not many streets to describe, and we would rather say so than pad a page. Three things matter for a roof here: the homes are older, the permit office is the county and not Pasadena, and the roofs tend to have had several rounds of patches.

Older roofs with a history of patches

An older home often carries layers of past repairs. A bead of sealant here, a replaced shingle there, flashing nailed over flashing. Each patch is a guess about where the water came from, and some guess wrong. Our job at an inspection is to separate the current leak from the old repairs, photograph both and tell you which one needs work.

What a roofer finds in the attic of an older home

Much of the story of an old roof is written on its underside. In the attic we look for daylight at penetrations, dark stains on the sheathing, rusted nail tips and soaked insulation. Each points to a different problem. Daylight means a gap, staining that follows a rafter bay traces a specific leak, and a field of rusty nail tips suggests moisture condensing under the roof rather than a single hole. We photograph each one, which gives you a record to compare against in later seasons.

Next to East Pasadena, with the same trees and wind

San Pasqual is a short distance from East Pasadena, so the notes on that page about mature trees, county oak rules and windstorms apply here too. What differs is how little ground there is: few streets, older lots, and homes that have often kept an older roof structure. Model building codes generally bar a new covering over a roof that already has two or more layers, so an old roof with a history may need a full tear-off. Confirm the layer rule with county Public Works.

County, not City of Pasadena

County handling is the rule for a San Pasqual re-roof, given its unincorporated status. Pasadena runs its own process, so the boundary matters. The Los Angeles County service area page describes the pattern. We deal with the permit side of a re-roof. Confirm current requirements for your address.
