Tile Roofing
Many Santa Monica homes still have their original clay tile. A lift and relay keeps that classic look and stops leaks from worn felt.

Homes in Santa Monica
The Roofs We See Most Around Santa Monica
Santa Monica has almost every kind of home you can think of, often on the same block. Each type needs a slightly different roofing plan.
- Ocean Park cottages often have older shingle roofs and exposed rafter tails that soak up salty fog.
- Spanish and Mediterranean homes north of Montana carry clay tile that needs careful underlayment work.
- Mid-century homes in Sunset Park often mix low-slope sections with pitched roofs.
- Apartment and condo buildings across the city usually have flat roofs with drains, decks and rooftop equipment.
Morning fog rolls in from the bay most of the year. It keeps shaded roof areas damp, so we pay extra attention to flashing and wood at the eaves.

Permits and local rules
Roofing Permits and Rules in Santa Monica
Santa Monica is its own city, separate from Los Angeles. That means its own permit office and inspectors.
City of Santa Monica permits
Re-roofs are permitted through Santa Monica's own building department, not the City of LA. We file and schedule inspections for you.
Energy code rules
New roofs must meet California's energy code. We confirm which cool roof rules apply to your project before you pick a color.
Historic homes
Some homes are city landmarks or sit in historic districts, which can add design review. We help you plan for that early.
Local know-how
Roof Care Tips for Santa Monica's Coastal Climate
A home a few blocks from the beach takes a beating from salt and sun. These habits help a Santa Monica roof last.
- Check flashing and metal vents every year, since salt air speeds up rust.
- Clear palm fronds and sand from valleys and gutters before winter rain.
- Look for soft or dark wood at the eaves, especially on north-facing sides.
- Keep flat roof drains clear so water never sits after a storm.
Our yearly roof tune-up visits cover all of this. If you live near the Venice border, you are only minutes from our Venice roofing headquarters.
