Isla Vista Roof Repair for Leaks and Worn Flat Roofs
Walk the blocks around Trigo-Pasado Park and you can see it: the median home here was built in 1975, and many of its roofs carry patches from repairs long past. Those old patches and tired flat roofs are where we look first when water gets in.
Estimates are free and carry no obligation, whether the roof is over a rental or the home you live in.
What we fix here
Roof repair in Isla Vista
We repair leaking, damaged and worn roofs on homes and small buildings in Isla Vista, from leak tracing to tile, flashing and flat roof work.
-
Leak
Water travels along the deck and rafters before it shows on a ceiling, so we follow it uphill to the spot where it gets in and repair that spot.
-
Flashing
Most leaks we trace start at the metal: walls, chimneys, vents and skylights. We reseal a loose joint, and rebuild the detail when an open "counterflashing" has let water behind it.
-
Tile
Cracked clay or concrete tile is swapped to match. Where the paper beneath has worn out, a "lift-and-relay" takes the tile up, lays new underlayment and puts the sound tile back.
-
Flat roof
Blisters, open seams and cracked cap sheet on the low-slope roofs of apartment buildings, additions and garages, repaired where the water sits.
-
Storm damage
Wind-lifted shingles, broken tile and debris after a storm, made watertight and photographed for your records.
-
Not sure which it is?
Tell us over the phone where the stain or drip shows up, and we book a time to climb up and look.

What we check first
How Isla Vista weather shapes a roof repair
Sun and wind can wear a roof out before rain ever finds the gap, so each repair here checks those worn layers first and then fixes the water path.
- Under the tile. The "underlayment" usually gives out before the tile does, and a slipped tile leaves it bare to the sun.
- Shingle edges. We hand-test the "sealant bond" at rakes and eaves, the first place a shingle lifts.
- Flat-roof drains. Windblown debris clogs "scuppers", and the water held behind them turns into "ponding".
- Old flat surfaces. Crazed cracking, called "alligatoring", marks a cap sheet that has dried out.

When the work is done
Photos and a written record for every Isla Vista repair
Every repair closes with before-and-after photos and a written record of the work.
Census figures put owner-occupied homes at about 1% of occupied units in town, so the owner of a roof here is often somewhere else when we are on it. The record is how you see what we found and what we did without climbing up yourself.
With the roofing pulled back, the deck and underlayment go into the photos too, since they disappear under the finished surface and you would never see them otherwise.
What we hold ourselves to
- Free, no-obligation estimates
- We show up when we say we will

What customers say about the visit
Reviews from our customers, as they wrote them.
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 question
A common Isla Vista roof question
Owners here ask us whether a worn flat roof has to come off, and the answer takes only a few sentences.
Does a worn flat roof have to be replaced?
Often not
When the surface is cracked or water stands in low spots after rain, recoating the surface or rebuilding just the low spot usually costs less than a tear-off or a full replacement.
A patch only holds over dry layers. If the deck under the roofing is wet through, we show you the photos and tell you plainly that a repair is not the right call.
