New Construction Roofing in South Pasadena, California

The new and the infill homes in South Pasadena need roofs built for the valley climate. The architectural shingles and the standing-seam metal handle the heat and the wind. New construction roofing in South Pasadena works with the builders and the homeowners to get the roof right from the start.

What South Pasadena New Construction Roofing Includes

• The roof deck — the plywood or the OSB sheathing fastened to the rafters
• The underlayment — the synthetic felt or the ice-and-water shield at the eaves
• The flashing — the drip edge, the step flashing, the pipe boots, and the valley flashing
• The roofing material — the architectural shingles, the standing-seam metal, or the tile
• The ventilation — the ridge vent and the soffit vents for the balanced airflow
• The gutters — the seamless gutters and the downspouts

Why South Pasadena New Construction Needs the Right Roof

The valley heat is the main factor. The roof needs to handle the sun and the UV, and the architectural shingles with the ventilation are the standard. The lighter colors reflect the heat.

The wind exposure is the second factor. The Santa Ana wind funnels through the metro and the roofs need the wind-resistant shingles and the proper fasteners.

Preventing Roof Problems in South Pasadena

• Choose the right material for the valley climate — the architectural shingles handle the heat better than the 3-tab
• Use the lighter colors — the reflection cuts the heat and the cooling costs
• Install the proper ventilation — the ridge vent and the soffit vents keep the attic cool
• Use the wind-resistant shingles — the Santa Ana wind needs the resistance

Expert tip: in South Pasadena, the new construction roof should start with the ventilation and the wind resistance. The cool attic keeps the shingles cool and the high-wind rating holds in the wind. Both matter from the start.
