West Hollywood
Roofing Contractors in West Hollywood
Most roofs in West Hollywood sit on apartment buildings, and most of those are flat behind a parapet, even where a tile visor faces the street. Leaks start at the parapet flashing and the scuppers. We find what is failing and put the price in writing, free.

What West Hollywood's housing means for your roof
This city is apartment buildings, in two waves. The 1920s and 1930s gave it the courtyard block, Spanish Colonial Revival and Art Deco, thickest around Fountain, Harper and Havenhurst. Leland Bryant's Romanesque Villa Apartments went up on North Harper in 1928 and the type runs all through those streets. From the sidewalk they read as tile roofs. Get up there and the tile is a visor on the street elevation and a cap on the entry tower, with a flat deck behind it draining to scuppers. The second wave is the dingbat, the 1950s and 1960s stucco box with the parking tucked underneath, flat wall to wall, hot-mopped when it was new and cap sheet or single-ply now. On either one the failure is almost never out in the field. It shows up at the parapet where the flashing sits in cracked stucco, or at a scupper where years of grit have built a pond.
What roof work costs in West Hollywood
Estimate ranges for Los Angeles County, not quotes.
- Small repair (resealing a vent, patching at a curb): roughly $400 to $900.
- Single-source leak (parapet or skylight flashing, a flat-roof seam): roughly $800 to $2,500.
- Sectional lift and relay (one elevation of tile, off and back on over new underlayment): roughly $2,500 to $7,000.
- Composition shingle replacement: roughly $9,000 to $25,000.
- Tile lift and relay: roughly $12,000 to $30,000.
- New tile throughout: roughly $25,000 to $60,000 and up.
- Flat or low-slope (TPO, modified bitumen, cap sheet): roughly $12,000 to $30,000.
- Solar panel removal and reinstall: roughly $4,000 to $10,000, on top of the roof itself.
The flat and low-slope line is the one that matters most here. Where a building lands inside it comes down to things you can see from the street. There is rarely anywhere to park, so the tear-off usually leaves through the street. On an occupied building, tenants are in and out all day while the work runs.
