In Northridge we re-roof post-war and newer homes, repair and replace flat roofs on apartment buildings, check and repair roof framing, and fix leaks at chimneys and walls. Northridge is part of the City of Los Angeles, so permits come from LADBS, and calls are answered 24/7.
Post-war homes and apartment roofs
Single-story tract homes from the 1950s and 1960s fill much of Northridge, with low-pitched shingle roofs now well past their first and second coverings. Apartment buildings near the university sit under flat roofs that see heavy use and plenty of rooftop equipment.
On older homes we check the framing as well as the surface, since quake repairs and decades of re-roofing don't always leave rafters and ridges true. Structural repairs come first when the roof isn't sitting right.
The Northridge earthquake of January 17, 1994 was centered in the San Fernando Valley and damaged thousands of buildings, and many homes here still carry rebuilt chimneys, patched framing or roofs redone in a hurry afterward. We look closely at chimney flashing, ridge lines and the attic framing before quoting, so the new roof goes on a sound, straight structure.
