Why Crestview Roofing Is Burbank’s Preferred Roof Installation Company

Dylan Pace founded Crestview Roofing in 2000 to fix the two things homeowners hate most about roofing contractors: vague pricing and zero follow-through. Every Burbank job we take on runs through The Relay Visibility Guarantee, which means you get a written price before work starts, before-and-after photo documentation of your roof, a live arrival time you can track, and a digital invoice sent by text. No showing up at your door with a number that’s 40% higher than the estimate. No ghosting after the check clears.

Our crews work in Burbank neighborhoods like Magnolia Park, Rancho Adjacent, and the Verdugo foothills regularly. We know the housing stock here: 1940s bungalows with original skip-sheathing, mid-century ranches with low-slope sections, and newer hillside builds with steeper pitches and complex drain lines. That local familiarity means we’re not learning your roof’s quirks on your dime. We show up knowing what a Burbank roof likely needs before we even pull the first shingle.

Every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked, uniformed, and matched to a live arrival tracker. We answer our phones with a real person, 24/7. And every repair we complete is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it fails within a year, we return and fix it at no charge, no negotiation. For roof installation, we back our work with manufacturer warranties on GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning systems, and we put our workmanship commitment in writing on every job.

Roof Flashing Installation in Burbank

Roof flashing installation in Burbank is one of the most commonly skipped steps on cheaper roof jobs, and it’s also one of the biggest sources of leaks within the first rainy season. Flashing is the metal strips and sheets that seal joints around chimneys, skylights, vents, and where the roof meets a wall. In Burbank, where winter storms arrive fast and hard off the Verdugo Mountains, undersized or rusted flashing fails quickly. Expect to pay $1,400 to $3,800 for new flashing installation as part of a larger roof install, or $450 to $950 per penetration when it’s a standalone repair.

Step and Counter Flashing at Chimneys and Walls

Most Burbank homes with brick chimneys need step flashing, which is individual L-shaped metal pieces woven into each shingle course, paired with counter flashing cut into the mortar joint. Skimping here means the first hard rain pushes water sideways into the house, not down the roof. We replace this every time we install a roof, whether the homeowner asked for it or not. It’s not an upcharge on our jobs; it’s part of a correct install.

Valley and Drip Edge Flashing

Valleys in Burbank roofs take a beating during Santa Ana wind events because they channel water and debris at high speed. W-metal valley flashing or a closed-cut valley with proper underlayment both work, but Burbank’s fire exposure zone pushes us toward metal valley liners for ignition resistance. New drip edge at the eaves and rakes is standard on every Crestview install. In Burbank, it’s not optional; it’s required to meet current wind-uplift fastening standards.

TPO Roofing Installation in Burbank

TPO roofing installation in Burbank is the right call for most flat and low-slope roofs, which you find all over the commercial corridors on Magnolia Boulevard, Olive Avenue, and the warehouse districts near the Burbank airport. TPO is a white, heat-reflective single-ply membrane that gets heat-welded at the seams. In Burbank’s summer heat, white TPO keeps roof surface temperatures down 50 to 70 degrees compared to dark tar-and-gravel systems, and it cuts cooling costs meaningfully. A residential TPO roof over a garage or flat section of a Burbank home runs $7,800 to $14,500, while commercial installs in the city range $5.50 to $9.00 per square foot installed.

Heat-Welded Seams vs. Adhesive Systems

On Burbank flat roofs, we use heat-welded TPO seams, not adhesive kits. A welded seam physically melts the membrane together, which is the only method that holds up through Burbank’s hot-dry summers and sudden winter downpours. Adhesive systems peel, and we see them peel here regularly. The UV exposure on a Burbank flat roof is brutal; the white membrane handles it better than any dark alternative.

Drainage and Tapered Insulation

Flat roofs in Burbank fail most often because water ponds in low spots, and the standing water breaks down the membrane within a few years. A proper TPO install includes tapered insulation or a sloped substrate to move water to drains and scuppers. That costs more on the front end but prevents the $700 to $1,400 standing-water repairs we see on flat roofs where installers skipped it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Burbank

We install and service roofing systems from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and IKO, and we’re set up to order locally so Burbank customers aren’t waiting on materials shipped from across the country. If you have a GAF Timberline HDZ roof already, we can source matching shingles for repairs and additions in Burbank’s available colors. If you’re considering CertainTeed Landmark or Owens Corning Duration, we’ll walk you through the wind ratings and fire ratings that matter for Burbank’s exposure zone. The brand matters less than the installation quality, but using a manufacturer-backed system means the material warranty actually holds up when you need it.

Common Roof Installation Problems We See in Burbank Homes

• Skipped permit verification. In Burbank, a reroof with a tear-off requires a city permit, and the wrong paperwork can stop the job mid-project. We pull permits ourselves and schedule the final inspection, so a stop-work order never lands on your doorstep.
• Wrong nailing patterns on architectural shingles. Each shingle has a manufacturer-specified nail zone, and when installers nail outside it, the wind rating is void. Burbank’s Santa Ana events push wind gusts past 60 mph, and the wrong nail placement shows itself all at once.
• Three-layer tear-offs on older bungalows. Homes near Magnolia Park and the Rancho often carry two or three layers of old 3-tab shingles over original skip-sheathing. Proper installation means tearing everything down to the decking, re-nailing it to current code, and starting fresh. Overlays look cheaper but violate code in many Burbank cases.
• Undersized flashing that gets left in place. When installers reuse rusted chimney or wall flashing to save a few hundred dollars, the first rainy season in Burbank will find it. We replace it, always. That’s not an upsell; it’s the only way the roof is actually watertight.
