Roofing Contractors in Long Beach

Bluff Park, Belmont Heights, Rose Park, Wrigley and California Heights went up in the 1920s and 1930s as Spanish Colonial Revival, Craftsman bungalows and a run of Tudor Revival. Clay and concrete tile over dormers, deep valleys and porch roofs tying into a main slope. They almost never fail at the tile. The underlayment beneath goes first, so a California Heights house can wet a bedroom ceiling and still look immaculate from the street. A lift and relay puts your own tiles back.

East Long Beach, Los Altos and Lakewood Village are a different city: fifties ranch houses, shallow gable and hip roofs, re-roofed in the nineties. A thirty-year shingle laid in 1994 is finished, with granules in the gutters and corners curling. Most households in Long Beach rent, and the small multifamily stock runs thick through Alamitos Beach, Rose Park and the streets off Broadway and Fourth: duplexes, fourplexes, courtyard buildings and dingbats over tuck-under parking, almost all low-slope in cap sheet, modified bitumen or TPO, failing at seams, parapet flashings and scuppers.

The Peninsula, Naples, Belmont Shore, the Alamitos Bay side and the face of the Bluff take marine air head on, and the metal gives out before the covering does. Drip edge, valley metal, pipe flashing and vent collars rust from the underside, and galvanized gutters go early. Coastal-grade flashing, hot-dipped fasteners and copper or aluminum gutters belong on the quote. More on the roof repair and roof replacement pages, and for apartments on commercial roofing.
