Roof replacement and repair in Pacoima, Los Angeles, CA 91331

In Pacoima we replace worn shingle roofs, rebuild rotted decking and fascia, repair leaks on flat-roofed additions and garages, and add attic venting to hot single-story homes. Pacoima is part of the City of Los Angeles, so permits come from LADBS, and calls are answered 24/7.
Older homes, add-ons and hot attics
Pacoima's streets are mostly small single-story houses from the 1940s and 1950s. Many have been re-roofed more than once, and the old layers can hide spaced board decking, soft eaves and nails that never held. A tear-off to the deck is usually the right call.
Over the years, a lot of homes here gained a bedroom, a den or an enclosed patio with a nearly flat roof tied into the main roof. Those tie-ins are where most leaks start, and we fix them with new flashing at the joint and a membrane that suits the low slope.
Pacoima grew fast during and after World War II, when aircraft-industry jobs brought new families and a wave of new houses to the northeast valley. Homes from that era were usually framed with spaced board decking, short eaves and very little attic venting, so on most Pacoima re-roofs we add plywood sheathing and balance the vents before the new shingles go down. It adds a little to the first day and protects the roof that follows.

The joint between the two roofs is the weak point. New flashing there usually solves it.
