Your Home’s Age and Style
How old is your home and what are the roofing challenges it represents?
Home styles in Pasadena, Arcadia, and Monrovia represent more than a century of architectural styles and this creates an appealing charm.
If your home is in a historic district, the local city may require specific roofing materials to preserve its character.
A city like San Marino has its own roofing requirements.
Four style categories and roofing challenges
1) Smaller wood frame homes and historic Bungalow homes were built in the 1940s and earlier.
Challenge: using the best shingles and low slope roofs to look sharp and not stress the structure with unnecessary weight.
2) Mid-century modern homes with their distinctive lines and low-slope roofs appeared in the 1950s and 1960s.
Challenge: Using the highest-grade low slope material to repel heat since there are no attics and last as many decades as possible.
3) Spanish style homes with parapet roofs are also found throughout the region.
Challenge: roofing with interior drains.
4) Contemporary suburban homes and larger homes need roofing to last generations.
Challenge: roofing with solar panels.
Garvey Roofing knows how to handle each of the challenges that come with specific types of roofs.
