AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Malibu
Roof leak repair in Malibu, CA typically runs $400-$1,800 and full roof replacement runs $8,000-$20,000 depending on the material and slope. We work from Point Dume to Big Rock and everywhere between the 90263, 90264, and 90265 ZIP codes. When you call (877) 610-1318, you’ll reach a live person who knows the difference between a mid-century beach cottage on PCH and a hillside estate above Zuma. We’ve been fixing roofs through salt air, Santa Anas, and everything Malibu’s coast throws at them.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Malibu’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and his sons run the crews. That matters in Malibu because the job isn’t a transaction here. It’s a roof over a house that may sit forty feet from the Pacific Ocean or on a canyon slope that burned in 2018 and got rebuilt to fire code. You want a name you can verify, and Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything.
Our Malibu customers call us for everything from a small repair over Carbon Beach to a full tear-off in Malibu Park. We answer the phone 24/7 with a live person, not a voicemail box. When a roof leaks during a January storm, the last thing you need is an out-of-state call center. You need someone who knows that marine air corrodes standard fasteners faster here than it does in Agoura.
Every job gets written change orders before any scope change touches the work. If it’s not on paper, it didn’t happen. And every roof we install or repair carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. One call brings Tom back.
Our Roofing Services in Malibu
Roof Repair
Driveway & Pavers - Malibu aside, roof repair here usually runs $400-$1,800. We see a lot of wind-lifted flashing on PCH beach cottages and dry-rot around skylights in hillside homes. Salt air accelerates corrosion on standard galvanized flashing, which is why we stock stainless and hot-dipped hardware for coastal properties. A small leak near Broad Beach becomes a big problem if it sits through one winter rain season.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full replacement in Malibu runs $8,000-$20,000. The spread depends on slope, decking condition, and whether the house sits in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which covers nearly the entire city. Post-Woolsey rebuilds must meet California Building Code Chapter 7A ignition-resistant standards. That means Class A roofing, ember-resistant vents, and specific underlayment. We pull permits on every eligible job and get the inspector to sign off before we call it done.
Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Malibu runs $15,000-$40,000. Standing seam is popular in the Santa Monica Mountains because it carries a Class A fire rating and shrugs off ember showers during Santa Ana wind events. But coastal exposure on the Point Dume side demands the right alloy and fastener schedule. We use GAF underlayment systems under metal wherever the fire code calls for it, because the two products have to work together or the warranty dies.
Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair in Malibu runs $600-$2,500. Barrell and flat tile are everywhere in Malibu’s older hillside neighborhoods, and cracked tile from flying debris during high wind events is one of the most common calls we get each fall. We match existing tile where possible and source from local yards that stock what Malibu homes actually have, not what a wholesaler in Van Nuys happens to carry.

Trusted Brands We Service in Malibu
We install GAF roofing systems on this coast because they hold up to what Malibu throws at a roof. We also stock GAF accessories for fast turnaround on repairs in the 90265 area. If you have an existing roof that needs matching, we work with what’s already up there, and we write the scope in writing before anything moves. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is why I like him.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Malibu Homes
- Corroded flashing and fasteners: Salt air off the Pacific eats standard galvanized hardware years faster here than it does inland. We see failed flashing on beach cottages along Pacific Coast Highway that wouldn’t fail for another decade in Westlake Village.
- Ember entry during wind events: Santa Ana conditions push fire-weather to critical in the Santa Monica Mountains. Older roofs with open eaves or unrated vents fail fire code and put the whole house at risk, not just the roof.
- Slope and drainage issues on hillside lots: Canyon homes above Topanga face water coming down slope toward the foundation, not just falling from the sky. Improper drainage at roof-to-deck transitions shows up as ceiling stains within one rain season.
- Storm and debris damage: High wind events send branches and debris across Malibu’s ridgelines. We see punctured underlayment and broken tile after every significant blow, especially on exposed slopes above Malibu Road.
Pricing for Roofing in Malibu, CA
A typical Roof Repair in Malibu runs $400-$1,800. Tile roof repair runs $600-$2,500, and a full Roof Replacement runs $8,000-$20,000. Metal roofing runs $15,000-$40,000 depending on profile and fire-code requirements. What moves the number is what we find when we pull up the old roof: decking rot from deferred maintenance, non-rated underlayment that has to go, and whether the Coastal Commission has already signed off on the scope. We give written line-item quotes before work starts. Nobody gets a surprise invoice at the end, because an allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
