It is 20 years or older

Clear Signs Your Roof Needs Replacing
One of these signs alone may just need a repair. Two or more usually means your roof is near the end.
Leaks keep coming back
If you have patched the roof in different spots year after year, the whole system is failing.
Curling or cracked shingles
Shingles that curl at the edges or crack across the roof can no longer shed water well.
Granules in the gutters
Sand-like grit in gutters means shingles are losing their protective top layer.
Sagging roof lines
A dip in the roof can mean the decking or rafters have been weakened by water.
Daylight in the attic
If you can see light through the roof boards, rain can get in the same way.
How it goes
Our Roof Replacement Process From Start to Finish
A new roof is a big project. We keep it simple and tell you what happens each day.
Estimate and material choice
We measure the roof, check the attic and help you pick the right material, color and budget.
Permit filed
We apply for the City of Los Angeles re-roof permit and set your start date.
Tear-off and deck repair
Old roofing comes off. We replace any soft or rotted decking before anything new goes on.
Install and final inspection
New underlayment, flashing and roofing are installed, then the city inspector signs off.

Plan your budget
What Shapes the Cost of a New Roof
Every roof is different, so we never quote from a photo. These are the things that move the price up or down.
- Roof size and pitch. Bigger and steeper roofs take more material and more safety gear.
- Material choice. Shingles cost less up front. Tile and metal cost more but last longer.
- Layers to remove. Two old layers take more time and disposal than one.
- Wood repairs. Rotted decking found during tear-off is replaced before the new roof goes on.
- Extras. New skylights, gutters or vents can be added during the same project.
Your written estimate lists each of these, so you can compare quotes line by line. Questions about who does the work? Get to know our crew.

What a New Roof Must Meet in Los Angeles
A new roof is not just about looks. In the City of Los Angeles, a re-roof has to pass a few rules before the permit can be closed.
- Fire rating: The roof covering must meet the required fire class. Homes in very high fire hazard zones need Class A roofing.
- Cool roof: When more than half of a home roof is replaced, the product must be a rated cool roof. See our Title 24 cool roof options.
- Tear-off first: We prefer removing the old roof so we can check the wood and give you a full-life roof.
- Final sign-off: A city inspector checks the work before the permit is closed.

Re-roof questions
Roof Replacement Questions Answered
What to expect before, during and after a new roof.
How long does a full roof replacement take?
Most homes take two to five working days once the permit is ready. Tile roofs, steep roofs and homes needing a lot of wood repair can take longer. Weather can also change the schedule.
Can a new roof go right over my old one?
Sometimes the code allows it, but we usually do not recommend it. Tearing off the old roof lets us find rotted wood, add new underlayment and give you a roof that lasts its full life.
Do I need to move out during a re-roof?
No. Most families stay home. It will be noisy during working hours, so pets and people who work from home may want a quiet spot elsewhere for the day.
How do you protect my yard and house during the job?
We cover plants, windows and walkways with tarps, use a roll-off bin for debris and run magnetic sweepers each day to pick up stray nails.
