Roofers in Malibu, CA
Roofing in Malibu is different from roofing anywhere else in Southern California. The salt-laden air, intense UV exposure, and seasonal Santa Ana winds put every roof through conditions that inland homes never face. Add in Malibu’s mix of 1950s beach bungalows, hillside concrete-tile homes, and modern cliffside builds with flat or low-slope roofs, and you have a market where off-the-shelf solutions rarely hold up. We approach every Malibu job with that reality in mind, from the first inspection to the final flashing detail. If you’re researching roofers in Malibu, call (805) 309-3314 and we’ll walk you through what your roof is actually up against.
Why Malibu Homes Are Different
Malibu’s coastal exposure means roofs here face a triple threat: salt spray that corrodes metal flashing and fasteners, UV radiation that breaks down asphalt shingles faster than manufacturers’ inland ratings would suggest, and Santa Ana winds that rip at any edge or seam that isn’t fully secured. Homes along Point Dume and Broad Beach are especially exposed, and we regularly find corrosion on flashings and fasteners within a few years of installation when cheaper materials were used.
The housing stock here makes the work more complicated, too. A 1960s beach bungalow on a flat lot might have a built-up roof or modified bitumen system that’s been patched for decades. A hillside property off Kanan Dume Road might have concrete tile or standing-seam metal, often with decks and cantilevered overhangs that create difficult flashing transitions. Original 1960s shake roofs in Point Dume and Broad Beach have mostly been replaced with fire-resistant composite materials due to wildfire codes, but the underlying skip sheathing often needs reinforcement to meet modern wind uplift standards. None of that is visible from the ground, and it’s why a Malibu roof estimate has to account for what’s under the surface, not just the top layer.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Malibu Services
The two calls we get most from Malibu homeowners are for roof repair after winter storms expose leaks, and full roof installation when a roof reaches the end of its useful life. Here’s how each works in Malibu specifically.
Roof Repair in Malibu
Most Malibu roof repairs start with a leak that shows up during winter rainstorms, and the source is often not where the water appears. Salt corrosion on flashing around chimneys, skylights, and deck transitions is a recurring problem here. We trace the actual entry point, replace corroded flashing and fasteners, and write up exactly what was done and what it cost before we start. Every repair comes with a written guarantee, and if the fix doesn’t hold, the second visit is free. For the details, see our Roof Repair in Malibu page.
Roofing Company in Malibu
When Malibu homeowners call a roofing company, they’re usually weighing repair against replacement and want an honest read on what’s left in their roof. That’s the conversation we have most often. We inspect the decking, underlayment, and flashing, not just the shingles or tiles, because in Malibu those hidden layers fail first under salt and wind. We give you a written price for whatever you decide to do, with no pressure and no change orders. You can read more on our Roofing Company in Malibu page.
Roof Installation in Malibu
A full roof installation in Malibu means choosing materials that can handle salt, wind, and wildfire codes, and installing them over a deck that may need reinforcement first. We work with manufacturer-recognized brands like CertainTeed and Owens Corning, and we make sure the underlayment, flashing, and edge details meet both coastal and WUI requirements. Every installation starts with a written price and a clear scope of work. For specifics on materials and process, see our Roof Installation in Malibu page.

What pushes Malibu prices up is usually what’s underneath: corroded flashing, failed underlayment, or skip sheathing that needs reinforcement before new roofing goes on. Coastal access and steep hillside sites also add labor time. Whatever the scope, you get a written price before any work starts, and that price doesn’t change unless you approve a change in writing first.
