Roofing Contractor in Los Angeles, CA

Ten kinds of roofing work come through the phone. Roof repair, roof leak repair, storm damage roof repair, roof replacement and roof inspection cover most calls. Tile roof repair, metal roofing, shingle roofing, flat roof repair and commercial roofing cover the rest. Each one has its own page with what the work involves and what changes the price. Gutter installation and cleaning are not offered, and the office says so on the first call instead of sending a crew.

A call comes first, because an active leak cannot wait for an email. The dispatcher asks where the water shows, how old the roof is and what it is made of, then gives a number to text two photos to: the stain inside and the roof from the ground. A roofer visits, goes on the roof where it is safe and writes the estimate on the spot. Work is booked only after the homeowner has read the written figure.

Reviews

February 2024 was the wettest month Los Angeles had seen in 26 years, with 4.1 inches falling downtown on February 4 alone, and one local roofing company logged more than 600 repair requests in a few days [laist.com leaky roof guide; insideclimatenews.org, 2024-02-06]. Between storms the sun does the slower damage: it dries out sealants and curls old shingles until the first heavy rain finds the gap. In the foothills, Santa Ana winds lift loose shingles and tile. A roof inspection after a storm costs far less than the ceiling that follows a missed leak.

The City of Los Angeles treats a residential re-roof as an express permit item, and a residential replacement of more than half the roof area calls for a roof covering rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council [LADBS bulletin IB P/GI 2020-003, express permits]. Homes in mapped Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones need a Class A roof covering, and wood shakes are banned in those zones [LA County Public Works Building and Safety, VHFHSZ notes]. The estimate names which rule the job falls under, so the quote and the permit match.

Each city below has its own page with local housing, common roof types and the ZIP codes served. The list runs from Venice and Marina Del Rey on the coast to Pasadena and Arcadia in the San Gabriel Valley, and from Burbank in the Valley down to Long Beach in the south. Nearby places without a page of their own are named on the service areas page.
