Malibu roofs live in a war zone. Canyon and ridge homes from Big Rock to Latigo sit above the marine layer, where Santa Ana winds drive embers into every eave and salt air eats at fasteners year round. The housing stock is a mix of 1960s beach cottages, canyon ranches, and newer ridge-top estates, most with steep pitches, tight lots, and views that make access a puzzle.
We are Thousand Oaks Metal Roofing, and we have been working the canyons and coast from our Conejo Valley base for years. Malibu homeowners call us because we understand the specific failure points here: ember intrusion at ridge vents, fastener corrosion from salt fog, and panels lifted by the same winds that carry the fire.
Metal Roofing in Malibu (90263)
Malibu properties are not typical suburban lots. Many sit on graded pads cut into steep canyon walls, with narrow private drives, switchbacks, and limited staging for dumpsters or material deliveries. Soil is often rocky and clay-heavy, which affects drainage and how we anchor flashing. The marine layer keeps morning air damp, then the sun bakes the roof by afternoon, so metal expands and contracts daily. That movement is why fastener and seam integrity matter more here than inland. We see a lot of wind-lifted panels after Santa Ana events, and ember intrusion at vents and ridge caps is a real concern for canyon homes. Standing seam with concealed fasteners and proper ember-resistant detailing is our go-to for ridge properties, and we often pair it with a metal roof inspection to document existing conditions for insurance.
Our team has worked roofs in Malibu Colony, Point Dume, and the Encinal and Latigo canyons. We understand how salt air affects different metals and finishes, and we help you choose a panel profile and color that fits the neighborhood while holding up to the coast.

How a Job Works in Malibu
Step 1: You call (805) 309-3879 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment, which for Malibu means we walk the roof, check access, and look at the specific conditions (ember gaps, fastener condition, flashing at chimneys and skylights). We also review any HOA or city requirements with you early so there are no surprises.
Step 2: Once you approve the scope and price, we handle permitting through the local building department and coordinate delivery and staging. On tight canyon lots, we plan material drops carefully, sometimes using a conveyor or crane if the driveway cannot handle a truck. We protect landscaping and keep work areas contained. Installation follows manufacturer specs and local code, with ember-resistant detailing where required.
Step 3: When the job is done, we walk the roof and gutters with you, magnet-sweep the driveway and grounds for nails, and haul away all debris. We leave your property clean and provide a final inspection checklist.
Pricing in Malibu reflects the access and condition challenges. As a ballpark, metal roof installation starts around $8 per square foot, standing seam from $10, metal roof replacement from $9, and retrofit over existing shingles from $7. Repairs start at $450, leak repairs at $450, and screw replacement or re-fastening at $750. Coating and painting start at $2.50 per square foot, and gutters for metal roofs start at $9 per linear foot. The final number depends on roof size, pitch, access (canyon drives and steep grades add labor), existing layers, and urgency. We give free estimates and explain exactly what drives the cost. Call (805) 309-3879 to schedule.
