La Mirada Roofing Contractor. Tile, Repair, Reroof.
We are a La Mirada roofing contractor families here trust for honest tile repair, reroofs, and leak repair on the postwar ranch homes that fill these tracts. Most were built between the early 1950s and the 1960s, so a lot of them are at reroof age now. Family-run, bilingual, with 40 years across Southern California.
A family roofer who knows postwar tracts.
La Mirada was built fast as a planned city, with thousands of single-story homes going up across tracts from the early 1950s through the 1960s near Windermere, the area around Biola, and the streets that ring La Mirada Regional Park. Those original roofs are now well past their first life, so we see a steady run of reroofs and underlayment jobs here. We answer the phone ourselves, in English and Spanish, and we tell you straight what your roof actually needs.
What La Mirada roofs deal with.
Roofs at reroof age
Tracts built in the 1950s and 1960s are on their second or third roof now. The tile may look fine while the underlayment under it has worn out.
Santa Ana winds
The dry winds that blow through here from October into February lift and crack tile on these long, low ranch rooflines. We re-bed and replace what they loosen.
Sun then winter rain
Long sunny stretches bake the underlayment, then winter rain finds the worn spots. Low-slope ranch roofs show this first along the flatter runs.
Why a leaking tile roof is usually an underlayment job.
A lot of La Mirada homes wear concrete or clay tile, and the tile itself lasts a long time. Concrete tile runs 50 to 75 years and clay can go 75 to 100 or more, but the felt or synthetic underlayment beneath it wears out in 15 to 50 years depending on the type. When a tile roof leaks, the tile is usually fine and the underlayment is what failed. The honest fix is to lift and reuse your existing tile, replace the underlayment, and re-lay the tile, which costs less than a full new roof.

Questions
Straight answers.
Do you serve all of La Mirada?
Yes. We cover La Mirada across the older tracts near Windermere, the neighborhoods around Biola University, and the streets near La Mirada Regional Park and Splash. La Habra is our home base and sits right next to La Mirada, so we get out there quickly.
My 1950s or 1960s La Mirada home has tile. Do I need a whole new roof if it leaks?
Usually not. On these postwar tile roofs the tile commonly outlasts the underlayment beneath it by decades. When the roof leaks, the tile is normally still good and the underlayment has worn out. We can lift your existing tile, replace the underlayment, and re-lay the same tile, which costs less than a full new roof.
How much does a roof in La Mirada cost?
It depends on the roof and the material. As a rough Orange County guide, concrete tile runs about $8 to $13 per square foot and clay about $10 to $15, so a typical home lands around $16k to $48k. An underlayment reroof that reuses your existing tile costs less, and a repair costs far less. We give a free written estimate with the real number.
How long do these roofs actually last?
On a tile roof the tile lasts far longer than the layer that keeps water out. Clay tile can last 75 to 100 years or more and concrete tile 50 to 75, but the underlayment under it lasts 15 to 25 years for asphalt felt and 30 to 50 for synthetic, and the metal flashing 20 to 40. The roof fails when the underlayment or flashing goes, not the tile.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Pacific Roofing is a California-licensed roofing contractor, CSLB license 1092407, classification C-39, insured, and an Owens Corning Preferred contractor. You can verify the license yourself on the CSLB website.
