The Mix of Homes Across West Los Angeles

West LA grew in waves, so a single street can show 80 years of building styles. Each one brings different roof needs.

  • 1920s and 1930s Spanish bungalows with clay tile and flat parapet sections.
  • Post-war homes with shingle roofs and low-slope additions.
  • Duplexes and triplexes where one roof covers more than one household.
  • Newer small-lot homes with flat roofs, decks and modern parapets.

Spanish bungalows with both tile and flat sections are especially common here. The spot where they meet needs careful flashing to stay dry.

Local know-how

Tile Roofs With Flat Sections: A West LA Classic

Many West LA Spanish homes have tile along the edges and a flat roof hidden behind a low wall called a parapet. It looks great, but it is a common leak source.

  • Parapet tops crack and let water into the walls.
  • Flat sections behind the tile collect leaves and hold water.
  • Drain spouts through the parapet clog easily.
  • Old flashing where tile meets the flat roof wears out.

We fix both parts together so they work as one system. Need the full story first? Book a roof and parapet inspection. Our team works out of Venice, a short drive away.
