Residential Roofing Services Los Angeles

The first line of defense, built to last.

A roof has one job: keep water out of everything under it. In Los Angeles, that job is less about rain and more about the sun. Our roofs bake. UV and heat dry out asphalt, crack old tile, and turn felt underlayment brittle years before anything shows up as a leak inside the house. Here's the part most homeowners have backwards. The tile or the shingle isn't what keeps you dry. The underlayment is. The tile is the sunscreen and the look, and the real waterproofing lives underneath it. On a lot of older LA homes the clay or concrete tile is still perfectly good after decades, but the felt below it is finished. When that's the case, we lift the tile, tear off the old underlayment, lay new, and relay the same tile. You keep the roof that matches the street, and you get a watertight assembly for well under the cost of a full replacement. Full re-roofs are still the bulk of what we do. We tear off down to the sheathing, look at what's underneath, fix any dry rot or delaminated plywood before we cover it back up, then set new underlayment and new roofing. Concrete and clay tile is the classic look across Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and the older Spanish and Mediterranean streets, and it lasts 50+ years. Slate is the top of the range and can run a century. Composition shingle is the value option and reads clean on plenty of homes. Standing seam metal is the modern move. Flat and low-slope roofs are their own discipline. Mid-century and contemporary homes all over the city have flat sections, and that's where we see the most leaks. The old torch-down modified bitumen dries out and splits at the seams. We install TPO single-ply, modified bitumen, and built-up systems, and on a low-slope tear-off we detail the parapets, drains, and scuppers properly, because on a flat roof the details are the roof. Most leaks aren't the open field of the roof at all. They start at the flashing: chimney, skylight, plumbing vents, wall transitions, and the valleys where two planes meet. A roof can look perfect from the street and still leak because a valley was cut lazy or a piece of flashing got caulked instead of woven in. When we chase a leak, we find the actual source instead of tarring over the symptom and calling it fixed. Fire is the other LA reality. If you're on a hillside in Bel Air, the Palisades, or any Very High Fire Hazard zone, the roof is your first exposure to embers. We build Class A fire-rated assemblies, and we add ember-resistant vents and fire-rated underlayment where the location and the code call for it. We also handle the parts that ride along with a roof: seamless aluminum gutters, copper gutters on period homes, gutter guards, and solar prep. Solar prep means we set the underlayment, mounting points, and conduit pathways up front, so a future panel install doesn't put a row of new holes through your fresh roof. Two honest things. If your problem is one bad flashing, don't let a roofer sell you a whole new roof. We'll tell you when a repair is the right call. And if you're already remodeling and the roof is 15+ years old, that's the time to do it. The crew, the scaffolding, and the project management are already on site, so adding the roof then is cheaper and cleaner than coming back for it later. Every roof we install is permitted and inspected, and it carries a manufacturer warranty on the material plus our own workmanship warranty on the install. If you want a roofer in Los Angeles who treats the roof as the thing protecting everything else in the house, that's how we work.
