Whittier is a city of hillside Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Revival homes, many built in the 1920s and 1930s, with steep gables and clay tile roofs that have seen decades of sun and Santa Ana winds. If you live near Uptown or the historic districts, you know the look: mature trees, narrow streets, and roofs that were never designed for the fire-ember exposure that comes with being this close to the Puente Hills.
Homeowners in Whittier (90602) call Long Beach Metal Roofing because we understand the specific challenges here: aging wood and tile roofs, fire-resistant material needs, and the tight access that comes with older neighborhoods. We are based in Long Beach, just down the 605, and we bring insured crews who have worked on homes from the Friendly Hills area to the Whittier Greenway Trail.
Metal Roofing in Whittier (90602)
Whittier's terrain is a big part of the job. The city rises from the flat coastal plain into the Puente Hills, so many homes sit on sloped lots with mature landscaping and narrow driveways. That means we often deal with steep pitches, limited staging space, and the need to protect existing hardscaping during installation. The housing stock is just as varied: you have 1920s Spanish Revival cottages with original clay tile near the Whittier College area, mid-century ranches in the East Whittier flatlands, and newer custom homes up in Friendly Hills. Each roof type demands a different approach, from matching the profile of existing barrel tile to reinforcing framing for heavier stone-coated steel.
Our team has been serving Whittier and the surrounding Long Beach area for years, and we know the local building department's requirements. We also understand the fire-ember exposure near the Puente Hills, which is why many homeowners here choose Stone-Coated Steel Roofing or Standing Seam Metal Roofing for its Class A fire rating and ability to shed embers. We handle everything from initial inspection to final cleanup, and we make sure your new roof meets both city codes and your HOA's design guidelines.

How a Job Works in Whittier
Step 1: It starts with a phone call to (562) 685-9725 or a request through our website. We schedule a free on-site assessment at your Whittier property, usually within a day or two. Our estimator will walk the roof, check the attic if accessible, and take photos to document the condition. You'll get a written estimate with material options and a clear timeline, no pressure.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull the necessary permits from the City of Whittier. You can verify local requirements on the City of Whittier website if you want to double-check. Our crews arrive early, protect your landscaping with tarps, and work efficiently to minimize disruption. For hillside homes, we use specialized staging to handle steep grades safely. If your home is in a historic district or HOA, we coordinate color and profile approvals before ordering materials.
Step 3: After installation, we do a thorough cleanup, including magnet sweeps for nails and debris removal. We walk the finished roof with you, point out key details like flashing and fasteners, and provide a warranty packet. We leave your property clean and your roof ready for decades of Whittier weather.
Pricing in Whittier depends on the size and complexity of your roof, the material you choose, and the condition of the existing structure. For a typical 1,500 to 2,000 square foot home, metal roof installation starts at around $8 per square foot, standing seam at $10, and stone-coated steel at $9. If you're replacing an old roof, removal and disposal add to the cost, but we can also do a metal roof over shingles (retrofit) starting at $7 per square foot, which saves on tear-off. Repairs like leak fixes start at $450, and screw replacement starts at $750. These are ballpark figures; the only way to get an accurate number is a free estimate. Call (562) 685-9725 to schedule yours.
