1920s–40s Spanish and bungalow homes in Magnolia Park, ranch homes in the Rancho, and hillside houses above Glenoaks make up most of Burbank. The roofs that go with those houses 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.
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 jobs we see most in Burbank. A replacement from Roofing RIB Company starts with a full tear-off to the deck, a per-sheet decking allowance written into the quote, synthetic underlayment with self-adhered membrane in the valleys and at every penetration, new flashing and vents, and then the covering you choose: a Class A cool-roof architectural shingle, concrete or clay tile, standing seam metal, or a TPO or torch-down membrane on the flat sections.

Every layer off, debris hauled the same day, nails swept from the yard and driveway with magnets.

Cool-roof architectural shingle for the ranches and bungalows, tile for the Spanish and traditional homes, standing seam for modern rebuilds, TPO or torch-down for the flat sections.

| Scope | Planning range | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Architectural shingle re-roof | $12,000–$25,000 | Full tear-off of a 1,500–2,500 sq ft roof, synthetic underlayment, new flashing and vents, CRRC-rated cool-roof shingle where the City requires it, permit and haul-away. |
| Per square (100 sq ft), shingle | $600–$1,200 | Installed, including tear-off and disposal; the spread is roof pitch, number of layers, decking repairs and access. |
| Concrete tile | $10–$18 per sq ft | New concrete tile over new underlayment and battens; plan-check permit because tile exceeds the 6 lb/sq ft express-permit limit. |
| Clay tile | $15–$25 per sq ft | Mission or S-tile over new underlayment; the historic Spanish homes in Burbank and Toluca Lake sit here. |
| Standing seam metal | $13–$21 per sq ft | Concealed-fastener steel or aluminum panels; the Los Angeles metro figure in the published guides. |
Planning ranges compiled from the published Los Angeles cost guides listed below, not a price list; roof size, pitch, layers, decking and access move a real Burbank quote inside or outside these bands. Your written quote after a free inspection sets the price.
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 replacement: 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 the age of the roof, the material and anything you have noticed, and a roofer will call to schedule a free inspection at your Burbank home.

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.
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.
Can't be happier. They did my roof and solar system combo deal with no-APR financing.
Planning range for 2026: $12,000–$25,000 for a typical 1,500–2,500 sq ft shingle re-roof; tile and metal run higher. The Burbank housing stock, 1920s–40s Spanish and bungalow homes in Magnolia Park, sets the typical scope; a two-layer tear-off, decking repairs or hillside access move the quote within the range. You get an itemized written quote after a free inspection.
2–4 days on site for shingle, 1–2 weeks for tile or metal. Most Burbank shingle roofs are dried in on day one and finished within two to four days; tile and metal take longer.

In Burbank the 2025 California Energy Code applies: when more than half of a single-family roof is replaced, a steep-slope roof in our climate zone needs an aged solar reflectance of 0.20 and thermal emittance of 0.75 (or SRI 16) unless an exception such as R-38 attic insulation or no ducts in the attic applies. Nearly every shingle we install is a CRRC-rated cool-roof color regardless.
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. Class A is also what we install on every roof, fire zone or not, because the assembly costs little more and the shingle lines we use already qualify.
For 1920s–40s Spanish and bungalow homes in Magnolia Park, usually: 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. We quote the option that fits the house and the budget, and tell you when a cheaper one would be the wrong call.
Roofing RIB Company, an insured local roofing contractor based in Sherman Oaks about 20 minutes away, replaces shingle, tile, metal and flat roofs across Burbank with the permit, the cool-roof and Class A requirements and the final inspection handled on one written quote.
