We know San Fernando’s streets. We know the ranch homes off San Fernando Road, the bungalows near the Pacoima Wash, and the older tract blocks where original 1950s wood shake still hides under layers of asphalt. That local knowledge matters when someone has to climb onto your roof and tell you what’s actually wrong. Our Roof Repair team works from a simple rule: inspect, write the price on paper, and get your signature before a single shingle comes off.

Why Brennan Roofing Is San Fernando’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
Brennan Roofing operates under the Garrison Standard, a discipline Travis Oakley has held every crew to since he started running the shop. That means background-checked, uniformed technicians on every San Fernando job, a written price before any work begins, and a full-year written guarantee on every repair. Where other roofers in the San Fernando Valley chase the low bid, we chase a standard that doesn’t shift from house to house.
San Fernando homeowners call us because we show up inside the promised window and answer the phone with a live person around the clock. No voicemail. No callback queue. When a Santa Ana wind event tears a section of flashing off a roof near the Pacoima Wash edge, you don’t want to leave a message and hope. You want someone to answer. We do.
We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, founded in 2000, and each location is independently owned and operated. Travis Oakley runs this shop to the same standard every day. The review pattern from San Fernando customers is consistent: the price didn’t move at the door, the crew left the site clean, and the repair held through the next rain season.
Commercial Roof Repair in San Fernando
Commercial Roof Repair in San Fernando covers the flat and low-slope built-up roofs common on the city’s older retail strips, office buildings, and industrial bays along San Fernando Road. These roofs take a beating from inland-valley heat: summer surface temperatures on a San Fernando commercial roof can sit at 160 – 180°F, which cooks membranes, opens seams, and cracks flashing. A typical commercial repair in San Fernando runs $900 – $2,500 depending on membrane type, penetration count, and whether we’re patching or replacing a failed seam.
Built-Up Roof Patching
San Fernando’s older commercial buildings often sit under built-up roofs installed in the 1970s and 1980s. We open failed blisters, cut back wet insulation, dry the deck, and re-lay the membrane in a patch that ties into the existing system cleanly. If the deck is rotting, we replace that section before we close it up.
Metal Flashing and Curb Repair
HVAC curbs, pipe penetrations, and parapet flashing fail first on commercial roofs in San Fernando because of the same thermal expansion that cracks tile. We bend new metal on site, set the fasteners to a pattern that holds through Santa Ana winds, and seal everything before we leave.
Roof Leak Repair in San Fernando
Roof Leak Repair in San Fernando usually starts with a stain on the ceiling and ends with us finding something under the shingles that nobody expected. On the city’s pre-1970 ranch homes, that’s often the original 1950s wood shake buried under two or three layers of asphalt, with a rusted drip edge and sheathing that’s gone soft around a valley or a pipe boot. A leak repair in San Fernando runs $900 – $1,800 when we’re replacing decking, underlayment, and flashing. If it’s a simple boot or nail pop, it’s closer to $350 – $500.
Valley and Penetration Leaks
San Fernando’s low-pitch ranch roofs funnel water into valleys and around vent pipes. When the underlayment there fails or the flashing lifts from thermal movement, water wicks sideways into the sheathing. We pull the field tiles, lay ice and water shield in the valley, set new flashing, and fasten everything to a pattern that holds.
Drip Edge and Fascia Leaks
We replace rusted-through drip edge and rotted fascia boards on San Fernando homes regularly. The original metal on 1950s ranches is often gone at the corners, letting wind-driven rain run behind the gutter and into the soffit. That’s a repair, not a reroof. We price it that way.
Trusted Brands We Service in San Fernando
We stock and install materials from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, and we repair roofs built with every major manufacturer line including IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For San Fernando homeowners, that means we’re not stuck ordering a mismatched shingle from a distributor and hoping it blends. We keep common GAF and CertainTeed colors on the truck, and for anything unusual, our Los Angeles office coordinates a fast order so your repair isn’t waiting on a backorder. Material choice depends on the roof, the pitch, and the look you want. We explain the trade-offs in plain English and put your choice on the written estimate.
Common Roof Repair Problems We See in San Fernando Homes
- Layered tear-offs on pre-1970 ranches: In the older tract blocks off San Fernando Road and along the Pacoima Wash edge, we routinely find original 1950s wood shake buried under two or three layers of asphalt. City permits require full tear-off to sheathing, not an overlay, so repair scopes here start at the decking.
- Unvented attics cooking the underlayment: San Fernando’s small-lot ranch homes often have almost no soffit or ridge venting. The attic heat pushes surface temperatures toward the 160 – 180°F range that cracked the old shake in the first place, and it bakes new underlayment prematurely. We address ventilation as part of the repair where it’s needed.
- Flashing lifted by thermal movement: Summer highs over 100°F expand tile and metal, and Santa Ana winds then peel poorly fastened edges. A patch that skips the fastening pattern fails again next season. We reset the fastening pattern, not just the flashing.
- Roofs that have been overlaid once already: Some San Fernando homes have an asphalt layer over an asphalt layer with no tear-off in between. That hides decking rot and puts the new layer at risk. We inspect to sheathing and tell you what’s actually there.

FAQs About Roof Repair in San Fernando
Because San Fernando permits require full tear-off to sheathing when a roof has been overlaid, and the city’s pre-1970 ranch homes often hide original 1950s wood shake under two or three asphalt layers. We can’t repair over that. We open the roof, document what’s there, and price the tear-off before we proceed. Call (361) 320-9467 and we’ll inspect for free.
Yes. The small, unvented attics on San Fernando’s older ranches trap heat, push surface temperatures toward the 160 – 180°F range, and cook new underlayment within a few seasons. When we repair a roof on one of these homes, we check the soffit and ridge venting and include a ventilation correction in the written estimate if the attic needs it.
In most cases, yes. Valley and penetration leaks on San Fernando homes are usually localized to failed underlayment, lifted flashing, or a rusted pipe boot. We pull the affected area, replace the damaged material, lay ice and water shield where needed, and fasten everything to a pattern that holds through the next Santa Ana event. A full reroof is only the answer when the decking is rotted across a wide area or the roof is already at the end of its life.
We stop, photograph it, show it to you, and write the additional price on paper before we proceed. No work on a surprise item starts without your written approval. On a 1952 ranch house near San Fernando Road and the Pacoima Wash edge, a homeowner called us about a ceiling stain that only appeared during Santa Ana winds. We pulled the field tiles and found the original wood shake buried under three asphalt layers, a rusted-through drip edge, and sheathing soft around the valley. The homeowner approved the decking repair in writing before we framed it in. That’s the Garrison Code.
