Power Roofing has offices in Los Angeles, Sherman Oaks and Irvine and covers Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties, so Glendale is well inside our regular service area. Contact us today for a free roof inspection and estimate.
Is your Glendale home in a fire hazard zone?
Possibly, and it changes what your roof must be. The State Fire Marshal released updated local Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps, and Glendale, which reviews and adopts the maps for its own Local Responsibility Area, received Moderate, High and Very High classifications. The city notes that your property may now fall within a designated zone even if it did not before.
- Check your parcel on the state’s lookup at osfm.fire.ca.gov/FHSZ or on the city’s own map.
- A parcel that spans two zones is treated under the more restrictive one, even if the house itself sits in the lower zone.
- Zone requirements: the city lists 100 feet of defensible space around structures and new construction that complies with the WUI building codes (including California Building Code Chapter 7A), and owners in the Very High zone are subject to annual inspections.
For the roof, ask which fire rating and vent rules apply to your parcel before you choose a material. If the parcel is in or near a mapped zone, ask for a Class A roof and ember-resistant vents, even where the zone would not demand them.
Re-roofing a house in a Glendale historic district
Glendale has designated historic districts, with more proposed, such as Cleveland Knoll and Verdugo Woodlands. In a district, a proposal for work on a house or building is reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission instead of the Design Review Board, so the city’s historic specialists weigh in on the roofing material and color.
Separately, the Glendale Register of Historic Resources, created in 1997, lists over 100 properties. Once a property is on the Register, proposed alterations, repairs and demolitions must be approved by the Community Development Department and/or the Historic Preservation Commission. Register properties can join the city’s Mills Act program, which can cut property taxes in exchange for maintaining the building to preservation standards.
Glendale's housing stock and the roofs on it
Glendale’s housing spans every era. In the Census Bureau’s 2019-2023 American Community Survey, the median housing unit in Glendale was built in 1965, about 21% of units were built before 1940, and about 71% before 1980.
- Pre-war houses can have board decking from an original wood shake roof instead of plywood. A Burbank roof from our project gallery shows that job: a roof over 30 years old with four layers and no plywood at all, built the old way with wood shake. The original wood shake came off, the house got a complete plywood re-deck, and Owens Corning Duration Cool shingles in Night Sky went on.
- Mid-century houses and additions may include low-slope or flat sections, where drainage and seams decide how long the roof lasts.
- Flat roofs on commercial buildings, apartment buildings and house additions can take a cool roof coating over a sound membrane, as on the Glendale project below.

Inland heat: Climate Zone 9 and cool roofs
Every Glendale ZIP code, 91201 through 91208, is in California Building Climate Zone 9 in the California Energy Commission’s list, an inland zone with hotter summers than the coast. Energy standards for roofs and attics depend on that zone, and so does how hard the sun works on the roof.
A Glendale flat roof from our project gallery shows a budget-minded answer to that heat. As our project post puts it, the goal was to keep the roof dry, sealed, clean and energy efficient on a budget with a Cool Roof Coating; the coating it lists has Pond-Proof technology for standing water protection and extends roof life. On pitched roofs, cool-rated shingle colors and improved attic ventilation address the same heat.

Getting a roofing permit in Glendale
Glendale issues building permits through its online Glendale Permits system, where you can also request inspections. In-person help is at the Permit Services Center in the Municipal Services Building, 633 E. Broadway, Room 101. The city adopted a new citywide fee schedule on June 23, 2026, with fees taking effect in stages from July 1, 2026, so permit costs on a Glendale roof are set by that new schedule.

What to ask before you hire a Glendale roofer
- Is my parcel in a fire hazard zone, and is the roof you are proposing Class A with ember-resistant vents?
- Is the house on the Glendale Register or in a historic district, and who prepares the submission?
- How many layers are coming off, and what happens if the deck boards are spaced or rotted?
- Does the price include attic ventilation, and is the shingle or coating cool-rated?
- What does the warranty cover: the workmanship, the product, or both?
All our roofing work carries warranty protection. We warrant our installation craftsmanship against defects. We coordinate with manufacturers on product warranties. Specific terms vary by service type.
For repairs, see roofing repair services; for a full new roof, roof replacement; for coatings and inspections between re-roofs, roof maintenance.
