Find your job

Roofs in Los Angeles go wrong in a handful of fairly predictable ways, and what needs to be done depends on which one you've got. This page runs through the work we handle, so you can head straight to the page that fits your roof.

Tell us what's going on with your roof and our licensed roofer will come out to your part of Los Angeles County to look at it properly. We get on the roof, take our time, and give you a written quote. You get our roofer's CSLB license number up front, so you can check it yourself on the state register. The inspection and the quote are free, and there's no obligation.

A valley carries the water off two planes at once, so it moves more water than anywhere else on the roof. It is one of the first places to check when a leak has no obvious source.

Leaks and roof repair

Most leaks start at a join like this one, where the roof meets something else, and not out in the open field of the shingle.

Most calls start once the rain does, roughly October through March. The tricky part with a leak is that the wet patch on your ceiling is hardly ever directly under the hole. Water runs along rafters and sheathing and drops wherever it likes, so the job starts with finding the real entry point: a slipped tile, a failed pipe boot, a rusted valley, flashing that's lifted away from a chimney or parapet wall. Some of that is a couple of hours' work. Sometimes it's the first sign the roof has had its day. You want a straight answer on which of the two you're looking at.

Full roof replacement

A tear-off is the only time anyone sees the decking. Soft or delaminated sheets get found at this point or not at all.

Age is the quiet driver of most roof work here. The median home in LA County was built in 1965, and about 44% of homes in the City of LA predate 1960 on the Census Bureau's 2024 American Community Survey five-year estimates, so an awful lot of roofs are on their second or third covering. Replacement is where the detail matters: tear-off versus overlay, what the sheathing looks like once the old covering is off, underlayment, ventilation, and the permit. City of LA jobs go through LADBS, while Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank and the other independent cities run their own building departments on their own timelines.

If you have solar panels

Panels have to come off before a roof can be replaced and go back on afterward, and that detach-and-reset runs roughly $4,000 to $10,000 on its own. So the rule of thumb is simple: if your roof is 15 years or older and you're thinking about solar, do the roof first, or you'll end up paying for the reset later.

Tile roofs and lift-and-relay

A lift and relay partway through. The tiles come off, get stacked and go back down. What gets replaced is the underlayment beneath them.

Around Pasadena, Glendale, San Marino, Hancock Park, Silver Lake and Palos Verdes, tile is everywhere, and tile roofs almost never fail at the tile. They fail at the underlayment underneath, which has a life of a few decades while concrete and clay tile can last far longer. That's what "lift and relay" means: the tile comes off carefully and gets stacked, the old underlayment and battens are stripped and replaced, and the same tile goes back down, with breakage made up from salvage. It costs a good deal less than a new tile roof and it's the right call more often than people expect.

Flat and low-slope roofs

Water still sitting two days after rain is ponding. The tide line around the edge shows how long it has been there.

Mid-century houses, duplexes and most small commercial buildings sit under flat or low-slope roofing, which is a different trade from shingle work. Ponding water, seams, drains and scuppers, parapet flashing, and single-ply or modified bitumen instead of shingles. If your roof is flat, we treat it as flat-roof work from the first visit.

Commercial and multi-unit buildings

Every unit, curb, drain and parapet has to be detailed around, and there are tenants underneath the whole time.

Apartment buildings, small retail, offices, warehouses and HOA-managed property bring their own problems: tenants underneath, roof-mounted HVAC, access and scheduling, and a budget that has to be justified to an owner or a board. Property managers usually want a condition assessment and a repair-versus-replace opinion before anything else.

Roof inspections and second opinions

Lifting a tab shows the nail line and what is under it. That is how we tell you what is left in a roof, not a guess from the street.

Not every call is an emergency. Plenty of people just want us to get up there and say how many years are left, or to look at a roof before they buy the house, or to sanity-check a quote that felt off. That's a good enough reason to call us, and the inspection and written quote are free either way.

More on roof inspections and second opinions.

New roofs on ADUs, additions and garage conversions

A roof going on a structure that never had one is a different job from replacing an old one. There is no tear-off and no unknown decking, and instead the questions are what the height limit leaves for pitch, what the framing underneath will carry, and how the new roof meets the old one. It goes through plan check, not the express re-roof permit, and the framing inspection has to pass before anything covers the deck.

Roof and attic ventilation

Intake vents low on the roof and exhaust high on it, cut and flashed into the roof plane. It is worth sorting during a re-roof, because the vents go through the covering and that is the one time the covering is off. Most attics that fall short fall short at the eave, where insulation has been pushed into the intake.

Fire-rated Class A roofs

The rating belongs to the whole build-up, including the deck, the underlayment and the way the edge is finished.

Across the foothills and the burn areas, the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code applies, and it asks for a Class A roof assembly, not just a Class A shingle. The rating is earned by the whole build-up together, including the underlayment and the way it's put down, not by the top layer on its own. Chapter 7A also covers ember-resistant vents and non-combustible gutters, since embers landing in a vent or a gutter full of leaves is how a lot of houses are lost. If you're rebuilding after the Palisades or Eaton fires, or you're in a high or very high fire hazard severity zone and re-roofing anyway, this belongs in the conversation from the first visit.
