4.9 stars · 471 verified reviews

Sylmar sits at the northern edge of the San Fernando Valley, in the 91342 zip code, with a housing stock dominated by 1960s–80s single-story ranches and a significant number of larger lots in the foothills. Sylmar is also in a designated very-high fire hazard severity zone for substantial portions of the community - Class A fire-rated roofing materials are not optional here, they're code. We specify compliant architectural shingles, clay tile, or concrete tile on every Sylmar project and document the fire rating in the permit application.

The combination of older homes, hot summers, and fire-zone requirements makes Sylmar one of our more technically demanding service areas in the Valley..

Frequently Asked Questions — Roofing in Sylmar

Is Sylmar in a fire hazard zone?
Yes — substantial portions of Sylmar, especially in the foothills and near Hansen Dam Recreation Area, are designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone by the State of California and LA County. Class A fire-rated roofing materials are required by the California Building Code in these zones, not just recommended. We verify your address against the fire zone maps before writing any estimate and specify only Class A-compliant materials — architectural shingles, clay tile, or concrete tile — on every Sylmar project.
What roofing materials meet Sylmar's fire zone requirements?
In Sylmar's Very High FHSZ, you need Class A-rated roofing. Owens Corning architectural shingles with the Class A fire rating are the most common choice — they're cost-effective, available in a wide color range, and carry the SureNail wind resistance technology. Clay tile and concrete tile inherently carry a Class A fire rating and are also excellent choices. We specify the fire rating in the permit application and document it with the material data sheets provided by the manufacturer.
How old are most of the homes you roof in Sylmar, and what condition are they in?
The majority of our Sylmar work is on 1960s–80s single-story ranches that are approaching or past their original roof's service life. Many were built in the 91342 foothill tract developments. We often see roofs that have been patched or repaired multiple times — sometimes with mismatched materials or improper flashing — which eventually leads to systemic failure. A full tear-off and re-deck inspection is the only way to assess the true condition of these roofs, and it's what we recommend on any Sylmar home over 25 years old.
