Roofing in Pearblossom, CA

Pearblossom sits on Highway 138 at the foot of the San Gabriels, east of Littlerock. The county lists it as Pearblossom/Llano in its unincorporated areas. Roofing permits here come from LA County Public Works through the Antelope Valley office.

Out on bigger rural lots, people ask about metal roofs, and in the county that question has an extra step. If a reroof changes the existing roofing to metal, Department of Regional Planning approval must be obtained. It is a planning question, not only a building one, so we raise it at the estimate rather than after you have picked a colour.

Skylights are the other county rule worth knowing. In a fire hazard severity zone, a new skylight needs more than one pane, and one of those panes must be tempered; glass block and 20-minute units are the other options. If an old plastic skylight is cracked and leaking, its replacement has to meet that standard.

Day to day, Pearblossom roofs take wind and sun like the rest of the valley. Cracked and sun-baked underlayment, loose flashing and gutters pulled down by wind are the usual calls.
