Malibu is 21 miles of coastline backed by canyons, and it may be the most demanding roofing environment in Southern California. Beachfront homes on Carbon Beach, Broad Beach, and Malibu Colony take direct salt spray and wind. Canyon and hillside homes in Malibu Park, Big Rock, Las Flores, and Corral Canyon sit in very high fire hazard severity zones that have burned repeatedly — the Woolsey Fire in 2018, the Franklin Fire in 2024, and the Palisades Fire in 2025 on the city's eastern edge.
Roofing here means Class A assemblies with ember-resistant vents and sealed eaves, corrosion-resistant metal, UV-stable membranes on the many flat-roofed modern homes, and patience with a permitting process that can involve the Coastal Commission. We support fire rebuilds and re-roofs alike.
Malibu at a glance
Housing & roofs: Beachfront homes; canyon and hillside estates in fire zones; modern flat-roof architecture; fire-rebuild construction.
Housing age: The median home in Malibu was built in 1975, and about 40% of its 6,430 housing units were built in the 1960s and 1970s (U.S. Census Bureau, 2019–2023 ACS 5-Year Estimates).
ZIP codes served: 90265
Permits: Re-roofs are permitted and inspected through the City of Malibu Planning & Building Safety (coastal development permits may apply). We pull the permit and schedule inspections.
Fire hazard zones: Parts of Malibu are mapped as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone by the California Office of the State Fire Marshal. Inside those zones a re-roof must use a Class A fire-rated roof covering (California Residential Code R902.1.1), and we recommend ember-resistant vents and the other Chapter 7A details whenever vents or eaves are replaced. Check your address on the official fire-zone map.
