Montecito · Family Owned
Montecito roofing comes down to three things: clay tile on large estates, architectural review before most reroofs, and a wildfire zone that covers most of the community.
Clay Tile Estates
Clay Tile and Spanish-Style Roofs
on Montecito’s Estates
Many Montecito homes are Spanish Colonial Revival and Mediterranean estates roofed in clay tile, some from the 1920s and 1930s along Hot Springs Road and East Mountain Drive. The tile can last for generations, but the underlayment beneath it wears out much sooner, and pieces crack or slip with age, foot traffic or a fallen branch. That is our most common call for roof repair in Montecito.
When patching no longer makes sense, a full roof replacement in Montecito uses salvaged or reproduction tile matched to the existing profile and color. For estate sales and insurance renewals, a documented roof inspection in Montecito records the tile profile, condition and underlayment age.

Architectural Review in Montecito
Montecito is unincorporated, so most reroofs go through the Montecito Board of Architectural Review (MBAR), not a city planning department. A like-for-like tile reroof, with the same profile and color, usually clears review faster than a change in material or look.
We build that review into every Montecito schedule and file before ordering material, so nothing sits waiting for sign-off. We prepare the submission ourselves: photos of the existing roof, manufacturer specs, and a side-by-side of the current and proposed tile color.
Before You Reroof
Does a Montecito reroof need approval from the Montecito Board of Architectural Review?
Usually, yes. Projects in the Montecito Community Plan area go to MBAR, and the county building permit generally waits until the reroof clears review.
Wildfire Zone
Wildfire Zone Across Montecito
Most of Montecito, including Romero Canyon and Cold Spring Canyon, is mapped as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and the 2017 Thomas Fire reached the upper slopes. California requires Class A fire-rated roofing for new roofs and roof replacements in that zone, so synthetic slate or composite shake is a common upgrade from wood shake. Seasonal roof maintenance in Montecito here means clearing dry leaf litter from gutters and valleys before fire season.

Montecito Roofing FAQ
Why replace a clay tile roof when the tile still looks fine?
Because the underlayment beneath the tile wears out long before the tile does. Once it fails, leaks follow even though the roof looks fine from the street, and replacing the underlayment means taking the tile off.
Does a reroof in Montecito have to be Class A?
In most of Montecito, yes. The community is mapped as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and California requires a Class A roof covering there for new roofs and for replacements of more than half the roof. Untreated wood shake doesn't qualify.
Is Montecito's building department the same as Santa Barbara's?
No. Montecito is unincorporated, so permits go through Santa Barbara County Planning and Development, not the City of Santa Barbara.
