Why Los Angeles roofs fail the way they do
Much of the city went up between the 1940s and the 1970s, and code generally allows one overlay before a full tear-off. On a roof that already carries two layers, a leak usually marks the end of that roof rather than the start of a repair plan. We tell you which situation you are in on the first visit.
The weather does the rest. The long dry season bakes the sealant around pipe boots and vent flashings until it cracks, and the first real winter rain finds every gap at once. Santa Ana winds lift shingles that were nailed high and tiles whose ridge mortar let go years ago. On the hillsides, from the Hollywood Hills into the San Gabriel foothills, fire rules add a layer: a re-roof there needs a Class A assembly, ember-resistant vents and hardened eaves.
That is the daily work at Alfonso's Remodeling & General Contracting: leak repairs aimed at the cause, clay and concrete tile relays over new underlayment, cool-roof shingle replacements that satisfy Title 24, and the flat roofs on the duplexes and apartment buildings that fill so much of the Eastside.

From the first call to the final inspection
You describe the roof
Where water shows up, what the roof is made of and how old it is. That call shapes what we bring.
Roof and attic visit
A stain rarely sits under the leak, so we walk the roof and look in the attic. You get photos.
A written scope
Repair or replace, the material and why, any permit, and the timeline. No price before we see the roof.
Work built to code
Tear-off, decking, underlayment, flashing and covering. Class A in fire zones, cool-roof rated where required.
Cleanup and sign-off
Nails swept with a magnet, gutters cleared, debris hauled, inspection booked when the job was permitted.
Metal, clay tile and flat: three of the roofs we put on LA homes
What you can count on when we take the job
Answered around the clock
A person picks up at night and on weekends, and active leaks go ahead of scheduled work.
Built to LA code
Class A assemblies in fire zones, CRRC-rated cool roofs on qualifying replacements, the permit pulled before tear-off.
Cause first, then the fix
We trace a leak to its source before recommending anything, so you only pay for the repair once.
The whole roofline
Decking, fascia, gutters, skylights and patio covers, so one crew finishes the job.
Water coming in right now?
Say so when you call. Active leaks and wind damage are dispatched ahead of scheduled work, and we can cover the roof first and repair it once it has dried out.
From El Sereno to the Valley and the Westside
Our office on Gateside Drive in El Sereno puts the Eastside, Pasadena and Glendale a short drive away. Crews also run over the hill into the San Fernando Valley, where concrete tile is the common roof, and west toward Culver City and Santa Monica.
Outside that footprint? Call anyway. We will tell you plainly whether we can reach you and how soon. The service area page walks through coverage region by region and says where it ends.
Questions Los Angeles homeowners ask before they call
Short, straight answers. If yours is not here, call; a roofer will answer it.
Other ways to reach usYes. Calls are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week. An active leak or storm damage goes ahead of scheduled work, and we can tarp the roof first and make the permanent repair once it has dried out.
In the City of Los Angeles a re-roof typically goes through LADBS, and we pull the permit as part of the job. Roofs in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone need a Class A covering, and a residential replacement of more than half the roof needs a CRRC-certified cool roof product.
Sometimes. Code generally allows one re-cover before a full tear-off is required, so it depends on how many layers are already there and the condition of the decking. We check both on the first visit.
Asphalt and architectural shingle, clay and concrete tile, standing seam and stone-coated steel, synthetic shake and slate, TPO and PVC, torch down, hot mop, spray foam and coatings. We also convert old wood shake roofs, which are no longer permitted in Los Angeles, to a Class A material.
It depends on size, pitch and material. Published LA planning ranges put asphalt shingle work at about $7-$12 per sq ft installed, and tile far higher. We give a written scope after seeing the roof, and our roof replacement cost guide explains the factors.
Both. Broken and slipped tiles are replaced and ridge mortar is redone. When the underlayment beneath the tile has failed, we lift the tile, lay new underlayment and relay the original tile, which costs far less than a new tile roof.
Yes. TPO, PVC, torch down, spray foam and coatings for duplexes, apartment buildings, shops and offices across Los Angeles, plus ponding, seam and parapet repairs on existing flat roofs.
We are based in El Sereno and work across Los Angeles, from the Eastside and Pasadena through the San Fernando Valley to the Westside. The service area page describes coverage by region.
