Santa Barbara is known for its terracotta rooftops, coastal fog, and hillside neighborhoods — but those same beautiful features create serious vulnerabilities when a roofing issue hits. Salt-laden air corrodes metal fasteners and flashing. Winter rains drive water beneath aging tiles. High winds sweeping down from the mountains lift shingles, open seams, and expose structures to moisture and mold. When your roof fails here, even for a moment, the damage spreads fast.
These aren’t handyman jobs. They require trained specialists, moisture-tracking equipment, certified safety protocols, and regulated repair standards designed to protect both your property and long-term structural health.
That’s why homeowners, landlords, and property managers trust our team. We don’t just repair damage, we restore safety, strengthen the structure, and protect what you’ve built.
Here’s what you get with our roofing team:
These homes face unique roofing risks due to the environment, climate, and construction style:
Each of these issues threatens more than appearance. Moisture intrusion fuels mold, weakens framing, damages insulation, and spreads along hidden channels, often long before homeowners notice a stain. Immediate professional response stops the damage, documents the cause for insurance, and restores your home to safe, dry, airtight condition.
The area deserves craftsmanship that respects its architecture and climate. We deliver repairs built to withstand coastal moisture, mountain winds, and long-term exposure, keeping your property protected, resilient, and ready for the next storm with our roof repair santa barbara team.
Most homeowners consider replacement every few decades depending on materials and wear. Documented inspections help determine timing and ensure the roof remains safe, efficient, and protected against the area’s coastal conditions.
The blend of coastal weather, hillside construction, and historic homes creates roof vulnerabilities that develop faster and cause more damage than in inland cities:
These conditions mean roof damage escalates faster, penetrates deeper, and costs more if repairs aren’t handled immediately and professionally.

I was sound asleep when a stolen car driven by teens crashed through my back fence in the middle of the night. I was totally unprepared for what I needed to do next so I called Total Restoration, which turned out to be the best move that I could have made. I highly recommend them should you have a situation that requires an Emergency Service company.They truly are a 24/7 company and were willing to come out during the middle of the night to perform an emergency board up. The (crew consisting of 1 Supervisor and an additional employee) arrived within 40 minutes of my call. They immediately began to clean up and board up my property, from that initial contact on, Total Restoration helped to walk me though the process of dealing with my insurance co and restoring my property to its original condition. They always arrived to work when they said that they would and before they left for the day they always let me know what would happen next and when they would be back. Everyone I had contact with from the front office all the way down to the field personnel were friendly, polite and knowledgeable about what need to happen and when. It was a pleasure to work with them and they definitely took a lot of stress off me as they totally guided me through the entire rebuild process. They are a fantastic company to work with!Posted on Robyn VanTolTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys did smoke remediation on our house in the Palisades. They did a great job walking us through the process and were very fast in getting us a quote and starting the job.

Excellent work Excellent staff Very professionalPosted on Holly HolderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience working with Total Restoration to reconstruct our kitchen after water damage leak was honestly the best service we could have asked for. From the moment we met with Blake who did our estimate and walked me through every single question I had and really worked with us and our insurance agent. Jeff was our project manager and he was not only very personable & great to work with, he worked tirelessly to get us back in our home before Christmas. Not only that but we worked our budget to get us all that we needed and more to get our house back to a home. Thank you to the entire team!! Our home restoration would not have been as smooth with the company our insurance recommended I know that.Posted on Randy J Reyes JrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company and very professional. Chris is very knowledgeable and experienced. They take on small and big jobs, if your looking for someone this team is the one to hire.Posted on Sally Ponce-O'RourkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Total Restoration whether you have a small job (like in our bathroom) or a challenging one like with our condominium. First, they had to find the window leaks and because it is a 3 story building, had to erect scaffolding on the outside of the condo. They replaced drywall and surprisingly did an incredible job matching the old paint on the interior walls. Jeff Wilson and his team were professional and at the same time approachable. Our daughter & fiancé live in the condo in a different city than where we live. Jeff kept us informed (including pictures] every step of the way which alleviated any concerns we might have had. Also, being my husband is in the construction business, we knew the cost was reasonable and the results were amazing. Guarantee, Total Restoration will be the first & only company we will call when we need a job done right!Load more
Crews arrive in under 90 minutes to stabilize roof damage, install emergency tarp-offs, and prevent further intrusion from wind or water
One certified roofing crew handles everything from the first tarp to the final shingle and paint touch-up, ensuring structural safety, leak prevention, and long-term weather protection.
Santa Barbara’s coastal environment makes roof maintenance far more difficult than in inland areas. Salt air corrodes metal flashing faster, high winds lift shingles and tiles, and seasonal moisture seeps into aging underlayment. Over time, even well-built roofs develop hidden weak points that allow water intrusion, mold development, and structural deterioration if not addressed promptly.
Our approach addresses these challenges:
Acting quickly within the first hour prevents more costly structural repairs. The moisture-heavy weather makes leaks spread faster than homeowners expect. A small roof puncture can soak insulation, travel behind walls, and compromise attic framing. Taking the correct steps early protects your home’s value, prevents mold formation, and strengthens your insurance claim
Most roofing companies patch shingles and hand you a bill, then tell you to “call your carrier.” That is not enough. At Total Restoration Roofing, we treat the insurance side with the same seriousness as the repair itself. Your coverage, documentation, and payout matter, and we fight for every dollar.
Here’s how we protect Santa Barbara property owners:
Santa Barbara’s coastal climate, marine winds, and aging roofing stock make roof damage more severe and more expensive if ignored. Salt air corrodes flashing, moisture sneaks beneath tiles, and each hour of delay increases the chance of interior damage and insurance rejection.
We bring the roofing crew, the structural expertise, and the documentation to restore your roof with precision. Our licensed team repairs tile, shingle, and flat roofing systems, reinforcing weak points, sealing vulnerabilities, and producing insurance-ready evidence that secures full coverage.
Don’t gamble with your roof or your property’s value. Call (805) 410-4999 now. We arrive within 90 minutes, stabilize leaks, document the damage, and fight back when adjusters hesitate. Total Restoration Roofing is more than repair, it’s your guarantee of roof restoration done right.
