Roofing RIB Company repairs roofs across Burbank, from Magnolia Park, the Rancho equestrian district, the Media District: leak detection, flashing at chimneys, skylights and walls, shingle and tile repairs, flat-roof seams and scuppers, storm and wind damage, and emergency tarps. Free inspection, written price before work starts. Active leak? Call (818) 619-2948.
1920s–40s Spanish and bungalow homes in Magnolia Park, ranch homes in the Rancho, and hillside houses above Glenoaks make up most of Burbank, and the roofs on them are clay tile and composition shingle on the Magnolia Park Spanish and bungalow homes, shingle on the Rancho ranches, and Class A assemblies on the hillside parcels. Each of those leaks in its own way: shingle at the flashing and the valleys, tile where the underlayment under it has worn through, and the flat sections at the seams, the scuppers and the transition where they meet the main roof.
Burbank is its own city with its own Building & Safety counter, its own fire department map and Burbank Water and Power, and the clay tile on Magnolia Park's Spanish homes is the single most common underlayment job we see east of the 170.
Clay-tile underlayment replacement in Magnolia Park, shingle re-roofs in the Rancho, and hillside Class A replacements above Glenoaks are the repair calls we take most in Burbank. Every repair from Roofing RIB Company starts on the roof, not in the living room: we walk the slopes, check every penetration, look at the attic side where we can, and water-test when the source is not obvious. Then you get a written price for the actual fix, with photos, before any work. When it is actively raining we dry the roof in first and credit that cost toward the permanent repair.
We also say so when a repair is the wrong answer. A Burbank roof past 25 years with brittle shingles and several leaks needs a replacement, not a fourth patch, and we would rather quote that honestly than take a repair fee twice.
Roof walk, attic check and water testing to find the entry point in a Burbank roof, with photos of what we found.
New step and counter-flashing set into the stucco or mortar, new skylight curbs and saddles, where most Burbank leaks start.
Lifted, cracked or missing shingles replaced with matching material; broken tiles swapped and the underlayment beneath them repaired.
Seams rewelded, TPO patches heat-welded, scuppers cleared or enlarged, and the transition to the main roof flashed properly.
Ridge caps and shingles lifted by Santa Ana winds, punctures from branches, with dated photos and a written report for an insurance claim.
Tarps and temporary sealing during rain so the interior stops taking water, credited toward the permanent repair.
Permits go to the City of Burbank Building & Safety Division, 150 N Third St, (818) 238-5220; reroofing is a Tier 1 permit available through Burbank Online Permits. The City of Burbank issues reroofing as a Tier 1 permit, available online through Burbank Online Permits, with the walk-in counter at 150 N Third St.
The hills above Glenoaks Boulevard in the Verdugo Mountains fall inside Burbank's Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, where the Burbank Fire Department and Building & Safety require a Class A roof assembly; we confirm the parcel with the City before quoting. Burbank Water and Power (BWP), not LADWP is the utility; service upgrades for a solar-ready re-roof are filed with them.
| Scope | Planning range | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Leak or flashing repair | $350–$1,200 | Locate the source, replace damaged shingles or membrane, reseal or replace flashing at a chimney, skylight, vent or wall. Tile and flat roofs sit toward the top of the range. |
| Emergency tarp / dry-in | $250–$600 | Temporary cover during rain so the interior stops taking water; credited toward the permanent repair when we do it. |
| Storm or wind damage repair | $850–$1,750 | Lifted or torn shingles, damaged ridge caps and flashing after a wind event; the Los Angeles estimator range. |
| Larger repair or section re-roof | $1,500 and up | Rotted decking, a failed flat section or a repeat leak that needs a section rebuilt rather than a patch; quoted after inspection. |
Planning ranges compiled from the published cost guides listed below; the repair guides are national figures and Los Angeles labor rates run higher. Tile, metal and flat roofs cost more to repair than shingle. The written price after a free inspection is the real number.
A roofer, not a salesperson, walks every slope, checks the flashing, penetrations and attic side, and photographs what they find. You get a straight answer on repair versus replacement.
An itemized written quote for the roof repair: tear-off, decking allowance, underlayment, covering, flashing, vents, permit and haul-away. The price in the quote is the price on the invoice unless you change the scope.
We pull the permit, protect the property, complete the work in the quoted window and schedule the final inspection. You get the closed permit and the material warranty paperwork at the end.
Tell us where the water is showing up and when it started. A roofer will call back to schedule the inspection, or to come out today if it is raining.

The Roofing RIB Company team came out to look at our roof since we had a few leaks. He was really professional and explained the whole roof structure and what caused the leak. We ended up replacing the whole roof because it was almost 35 years old; the price was reasonable compared to the other quotes we got. Would definitely recommend Roofing RIB Company.
Thanks for your services, I will recommend!
I've had many roofers come to check my roof and got a wide variety of quotes, sales gimmicks and outright lies. This company was nothing like that. They called right back when I asked for a quote and made an appointment. When they showed up, they took measurements, explained their process, and gave me a copy of their insurance and bond documents, and a clear and simple contract that made sense. They came on the agreed day and finished the job quickly and efficiently. It looks good.
Planning range for 2026: $350–$1,200 for most leak and flashing repairs; emergency dry-in from $250. A single flashing or shingle repair sits at the low end; rotted decking or a failed flat section costs more because the roof has to be opened. You get a written price after a free inspection.
Call (818) 619-2948. Burbank is about 20 minutes from our Sherman Oaks base; during rain we prioritize active leaks and dry the roof in the same day with tarps and temporary flashing, then do the permanent repair in dry weather.
Burbank is its own city with its own Building & Safety counter, its own fire department map and Burbank Water and Power, and the clay tile on Magnolia Park's Spanish homes is the single most common underlayment job we see east of the 170.
A roof under 15 years with one or two isolated leaks is a repair. A Burbank roof past 25 years with brittle shingle, several leaks or a flat section patched repeatedly is usually a replacement, because each repair buys months. We give you both numbers when it is close.
Small repairs generally do not. When a repair becomes a section re-roof it is permitted like a replacement: the City of Burbank Building & Safety Division, not LADBS; reroofing is a Tier 1 online permit.
Sudden damage from wind, hail or a fallen tree is usually covered; wear and age are not. We document storm damage with dated photos and a written report for the adjuster, and can meet the adjuster on the roof.
