Old houses, added rooms and small apartment roofs
Many Boyle Heights homes date back a century or more, and over that time families have added rooms, porches and second units. Each addition usually brings its own roof, often low-slope, tied into the original in ways that leak when the flashing fails.
The neighborhood's small apartment buildings mostly have flat roofs behind low parapets. We keep their drains and scuppers working, repair seams and, when the time comes, replace them with a torch down or single-ply system suited to how the roof is used.
Boyle Heights is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Los Angeles, with houses dating back to the late 1800s. Roofs that old have usually been patched, re-covered and tied into additions many times, so we start every job by finding out what's actually under the surface. That way the quote reflects the real roof and its history, not just the top layer.
