Roofing in Sylmar, California
Our shop is on San Fernando Road. Sylmar is not a service area we drive to — it is where we load the trucks every morning.
KAT ROOFING CO operates out of 12348 San Fernando Rd H, Sylmar, CA 91342. We have held CSLB license #857967 in the C-39 Roofing classification since 2005, and Sylmar has been the home base the entire time.
Sylmar roofs take a specific kind of punishment. Sun exposure at the north end of the valley is severe, summer surface temperatures on dark roofs run high, and the wind corridor coming down through the pass pulls at ridge caps, hip tiles and edge metal every fall. Most of what we replace here failed at the edges and penetrations long before the field of the roof gave out.
What we see on Sylmar houses
Much of the residential stock north of Foothill is 1960s–1980s tract housing with concrete tile or the original three-tab shingle. On the tile roofs, the tile itself is usually still serviceable — it is the underlayment beneath it that has gone brittle. That means a lift-and-relay: we stack and reuse your tile, replace the underlayment and all the flashings, then set the tile back down. It is a meaningfully different job from a tear-off, and it is often the right call here.
On the flatter additions and patio covers that got tacked onto these houses over the decades, we more often find failed hot mop or rolled roofing with ponding water. Those get rebuilt to drain, not just patched.
Commercial and industrial work in Sylmar
Sylmar has a heavy concentration of light industrial, self-storage, truck yards and warehouse space along San Fernando Road and Bledsoe. Those are large low-slope roofs where the practical choices are a silicone restoration coating over a sound existing membrane, a new TPO single-ply, or torch-applied modified bitumen.

Response times from our own yard
Because our material and equipment sit in Sylmar, an emergency call here does not involve staging from somewhere else. We can usually get eyes on an active leak in Sylmar faster than anywhere else we work.
