In Mid-City we repair and re-roof Spanish revival homes and duplexes, rebuild parapet caps and flat sections, relay clay tile over new underlayment, and fix leaks at walls and chimneys. Mid-City is part of the City of Los Angeles, so permits come from LADBS, and calls are answered 24/7.
Duplexes, parapets and clay tile
Many Mid-City duplexes and homes pair a clay tile front slope with a flat roof behind a stucco parapet. The tile faces the street, but most leaks start on the flat part, at the parapet caps and at the scuppers that drain it.
We treat those roofs as a system: tile repaired or relaid, the flat section replaced or coated, and the parapet tops sealed so water runs back onto the roof. On duplexes we plan around both units' schedules, and flat roof repairs are often the first step.

Much of Mid-City's housing was built in the 1920s and 1930s, including Spanish revival homes and duplexes with clay tile and flat roofs behind stucco parapets. Roofs that age usually need their underlayment and flat membranes renewed more than their tile, so we check what's underneath before recommending a full replacement and we price both options side by side for you.
