In Highland Park we repair and re-roof Craftsman, Victorian and hillside homes, replace rotted rafter tails and eaves, fix chimney flashing, and plan materials for homes inside the Highland Park-Garvanza preservation zone. Highland Park is part of the City of Los Angeles, so permits come from LADBS, and calls are answered 24/7.
Craftsman roofs on hillside streets
Highland Park's housing is old and varied: Craftsman bungalows with wide eaves and exposed rafters, Victorian homes with steep slopes and turrets, and small cottages tucked onto hillside lots. Many still have original board decks under one or two later roofs.
Those details need care. Exposed rafter tails rot where gutters overflow, old chimneys lose their flashing, and hillside cottages are hard to reach. We repair the eaves and fascia with wood that matches the originals and plan access before the crew arrives.

Highland Park and neighboring Garvanza share one of the largest Historic Preservation Overlay Zones in the City of Los Angeles, where exterior changes go through historic review. On those homes we match the existing roof material and visible details where possible, and plan any change around the review process, so the work moves without surprises. Homes outside the zone get the same care with fewer steps.
LADBS permits and historic review
Highland Park is part of the City of Los Angeles, so re-roof permits come from LADBS, the same office we use in El Sereno. The permit filing and inspection scheduling are part of our job.
Inside the preservation zone, visible changes such as a new roof material can need historic review before the permit is issued. Matching what's there usually keeps that simple.
We cover how HPOZ review works for roofs in our roofing advice section.
