The short answer
Roofer in Santa Barbara
Titan Roofing is a local roofer that repairs, replaces and inspects tile, shingle, slate, metal, wood shake and flat roofs on homes and commercial buildings.
A roof works as one system. The covering, the "underlayment" under it, the "flashing" at every wall and chimney, and the edges and drains all depend on each other, so a problem in one part affects the whole roof.
That is why we look past the one spot you called about before we recommend a fix, and why the estimate you get covers the whole job.
Roof types
The roof types and jobs we handle
We work on every common roof type here and handle repair, replacement, inspection and maintenance on each one.
-
Asphalt shingles
Lifted tabs, a failed "sealant bond" and "granule loss" repaired, and worn slopes replaced from the "tear-off" up.
-
Clay tile
Cracked and slipped barrel tile replaced, and tired paper underneath renewed with a "lift-and-relay" that puts the sound tile back.
-
Concrete tile
Broken concrete tile matched and swapped out, with the valleys and wall joints checked while we are up there.
-
Slate
Cracked and slipped slate repaired piece by piece, without breaking the slate around it.
-
Metal roofing
Standing-seam and corrugated panels installed and repaired on homes, garages and outbuildings.
-
Flat roofing
"Ponding", open seams and a cracked surface fixed on membrane, coated and hot mop roofs, residential or commercial.
-
Wood shake
Split and cupped shakes replaced to blend in with the weathered roof around them.

How a roofer is priced
Roofing work is priced job by job on the scope we find, and the figures published for our area give you a typical range before we come out.
What moves the price is the roof itself: its size, its pitch, the number of stories, the material and any damage we find underneath. Labor and premium materials weigh most on tile, on steep roofs and wherever the underlayment gets an upgrade.
On a flat roof, a coating or a targeted fix for standing water often costs less than a full tear-off. And a problem fixed now is usually cheaper than the same problem after the next storm.
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| A leak repair | $400 to $1,200 |
| A roof repair | $1,000 to $7,500 |
| A new roof | $7,000 to $25,000 |
| New roofing, per square foot | $7.56 to $12.60 |
These are area figures, not our quote. Your price is the written estimate we give you after we have seen the roof.

Top notch - Serjio and his team was an absolute pleasure to work with. They were always on time and the most polite and pleasant contractors we have ever had. The whole team went out of the way to make the time at our home as comfortable as possible. I would highly recommend his company.
Thank you. titan roofing I highly recommend them to everybody Five stars all the way
I called Titan Roofing & Rain Gutters inc.for a quote on a residential home, and within minutes they were calling me back and setting up a same day appointment. Sergio came out within the hour and was very professional. He looked everything over and even gave me some great advice in case we ever do experience any leaks. He didn't even have the job but was still willing to help me out.

Owner questions
More questions owners ask
These questions sit right next to hiring a roofer, and each answer points to where we cover it in full.
Workmanship in the details
Most early roof failures trace to the details rather than to the material itself: underlayment overlaps, nail type and placement, tile and shingle alignment, and the flashing.
Ignoring the manufacturer's material and installation instructions leads to early failure too, so we work to them on whatever is on your roof. The National Roofing Contractors Association Roofing Manual is the trade's reference for these details.
Roof underlayment, the layer that fails first
On tile and slate roofs the underlayment usually fails decades before the roofing on top of it.
Clay and concrete tile can last 75 years or more, while the paper beneath may give out after 20 to 40 years. A lift-and-relay renews that layer and puts the sound tile back on.
Checking a roofing contractor
You should check any roofing contractor's license with the state board and get the scope, materials and payment schedule in writing before you sign.
The Contractors State License Board lets you look up a contractor's license online. Our written estimate spells out the scope and the materials before any work is scheduled.
