Overhead Roofing » Roofing Materials
Choosing the right roofing materials is one of the most significant decisions a homeowner will ever make. In Southern California, your roof does much more than provide a finishing touch to your home’s aesthetic; it serves as a critical thermal barrier against the intense heat of the San Fernando Valley and a sturdy shield against seasonal rains. At Overhead Roofing, we pride ourselves on our technical proficiency in a wide array of roofing systems, ensuring that every client in Pasadena, Tarzana, and Los Angeles receives a solution tailored to their specific climate and architectural style.
Asphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing material in the United States, prized for their balance of affordability and performance. Modern shingles have evolved significantly from the flat, organic felt products of the past. Today, homeowners can choose from “Architectural” or “Luxury” shingles that offer multi-dimensional depth and mimic the appearance of wood shakes or natural slate.
These materials are engineered with a fiberglass base and ceramic-coated granules that reflect UV rays. According to the Department of Energy, “cool” asphalt shingles can significantly reduce roof temperatures, lowering the energy required for air conditioning during our scorching summers. Furthermore, modern shingles often carry a Class A fire rating, providing a vital layer of protection in high-risk zones. Our accomplished practitioners ensure that shingle installations include proper underlayment and ventilation, preventing the “heat-trap” effect that can shorten a roof’s lifespan.
This is your last line of defense. We utilize synthetic membranes that are far more durable than traditional organic felt, providing superior waterproofing.
Typically made of galvanized steel or copper, flashing is used to direct water away from critical areas like valleys, chimneys, and vents.
Proper airflow is mandatory. Without it, heat buildup can bake your roofing materials from the inside out, voiding warranties and increasing energy costs. Information from University building science programs confirms that balanced ventilation is the key to preventing premature roof failure.
The base of your roof, usually made of plywood or OSB, provides structural support. It must be strong and free of defects to ensure the longevity of your roof system.

William and Mike from Overhead Roofing Inc came highly recommended, and now I know why. They handled the repairs quickly and thoroughly, and even checked nearby spots without being asked. Sherry from the office made billing and follow-up a breeze. I’ll be using them again for a full re-roof in the futurePosted on Patricia SanchezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These people who save animals are amazing!

Great, thank youPosted on darkest flowerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our office in Sierra Madre started having ceiling leaks. Overhead Roofing Inc sent Sean and Mike, who discovered the issue was actually with the parapet wall flashing. They fixed it and gave us solid maintenance recommendations. Tammi kept everything on time and within budget. Their knowledge and clarity made a huge difference.
