Expert Roof Replacement in Los Angeles

When repairs stop keeping the water out, a full replacement is the honest long-term fix. In Los Angeles a roof ages faster than the warranty suggests — relentless UV, wide day-to-night temperature swings, and Santa Ana winds all work on it, so a 25-year shingle often shows its age at 18 or 20. Hollywood Contractor Corp is a licensed roofing contractor (CSLB #1092628) replacing roofs across Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, La Crescenta, and the wider LA area. We tear off to the deck, repair any rotted sheathing we uncover, and install the whole system — underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and your chosen material — then back it with a workmanship warranty. Part of our full range of roofing services.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Roof

A repair can buy time, but these signs usually mean the roof has reached the end of its service life.

  • Roof is 20–25+ years old (asphalt shingle)
  • Curling, cracked, or missing shingles
  • Granules collecting in the gutters
  • Repeated leaks or water stains on ceilings
  • Sagging roof line or spongy decking
  • Daylight or moisture visible in the attic

What Drives Roof Replacement Cost

Every roof is priced on a handful of factors. We walk you through all of them so the quote is clear.

  • Roof size (squares) and pitch
  • Material — shingle, tile, metal, or flat
  • Number of old layers to tear off
  • Decking or fascia repairs once the old roof is off
  • Complexity — valleys, chimneys, skylights, vents
  • Permits and disposal

How We Replace Your Roof

A new roof is a system, not just shingles. We install every layer correctly so it performs and lasts.

  • Full tear-off — strip the old roof down to the deck
  • Deck repair — replace rotted or damaged sheathing
  • Underlayment — synthetic and ice-and-water barrier
  • Flashing — new flashing at walls, valleys, and penetrations
  • Roofing material — shingle, tile, or metal to spec
  • Ventilation & ridge — balanced attic venting and a clean ridge line

Roofing Materials We Install

We help you choose the right material for your home, budget, and the LA climate — then install it to manufacturer spec.

  • Architectural asphalt shingles — the most popular, cost-effective choice.
  • Clay & concrete tile — classic SoCal look with a long lifespan.
  • Standing-seam metal — durable, fire-resistant, and low-maintenance.
  • Flat & low-slope (TPO) — for modern homes and additions.
  • Cool-roof options — reflective materials that cut summer heat.
  • Premium underlayment — waterproofing that protects the whole system.

How Much Does Roof Replacement Cost?

A full roof replacement in the Los Angeles area typically runs $9,000 to $30,000. Material and roof complexity drive most of the difference — not just square footage.

Scope of work Typical LA range What it covers
Architectural asphalt shingle $9,000 – $18,000 Tear-off, underlayment, flashing, and a 25–30 year architectural shingle system.
Concrete or clay tile $18,000 – $40,000 Heavier system, often needing structural checks; 50+ year lifespan.
Standing-seam metal $20,000 – $45,000 Long-life, fire-resistant panels — a real consideration in brush-adjacent areas.
Flat / low-slope (TPO) $8,000 – $20,000 Single-ply membrane for flat sections, modern homes, and additions.
Deck repair (if found) $500 – $4,000 Replacing rotted sheathing discovered once the old roof is stripped.

Two things reliably change the number after quoting: how many old layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. We quote deck repair at a fixed per-sheet rate up front so that discovery does not become an open-ended charge.

Replace or Repair?

Replacing a roof that had years left is expensive; repairing one that is finished is throwing money away. The age and the pattern of failure decide it.

Replace

  • Asphalt shingle roof past about 20–25 years
  • Leaks in several separate places
  • Granules filling the gutters
  • Widespread curling, cupping, or missing shingles
  • Sagging roof line or spongy decking
  • You are re-roofing before selling

Repair

  • Roof is under about 15 years old
  • A single, traceable leak
  • Isolated storm damage in one area
  • Flashing failure with sound surrounding material
  • Most of the surface still in good condition

If that sounds like your roof, see roof repair instead.

Roofing Materials Compared

Material choice is the biggest single decision. Here is how the realistic options compare in the Southern California climate.

Option Best for Expected life Relative cost
Architectural asphalt Best overall value for most homes 25–30 years $
Concrete / clay tile Classic SoCal look, longest life 50+ years $$$
Standing-seam metal Fire resistance and durability 40–70 years $$$
TPO membrane Flat and low-slope sections 20–30 years $$
Cool roof (reflective) Cutting summer cooling load 25–30 years $$

Tile is heavy. If you are switching from shingle to tile, the structure has to be checked for the added load first — any roofer who skips that step is skipping something that matters.

What to Expect During the Project

Most single-family roof replacements take one to three days. Tile and complex rooflines take longer, and we work around the weather.

Stage Typical timing What happens
Inspection & quote Day 0 Roof and attic assessed, material and colour selected, fixed price issued.
Material delivery Day 0–1 Materials staged on site; expect a delivery and a dumpster.
Tear-off Day 1 Old roof stripped to the deck. This is the loudest day — plan around it if you work from home.
Deck repair & dry-in Day 1–2 Damaged sheathing replaced, underlayment and flashing installed to make it weather-tight.
Install & finish Days 2–3 Roofing material, ridge, and ventilation installed.
Cleanup & final Final day Full magnetic nail sweep, debris removed, permit inspection coordinated.

The house is at its most vulnerable between tear-off and dry-in, so we never strip more roof than we can make weather-tight the same day.

How to Choose a Contractor

Roofing work is largely invisible once it is finished, which is exactly why standards vary so widely. A few things reliably separate a proper job from an expensive patch.

Good signs

  • An active CSLB licence you can verify online
  • A written, itemised, fixed-price scope
  • They explain the cause, not just the fix
  • Realistic timelines rather than optimistic ones
  • A workmanship warranty in writing
  • They inspect the attic, not just the surface
  • Deck repair priced up front, per sheet

Warning signs

  • A quote given without a proper site visit
  • Pressure to sign today for a discount
  • Large cash deposits up front
  • The same solution proposed for every home
  • Vague allowances instead of fixed pricing
  • Roof-overs proposed to avoid a tear-off

Hollywood Contractor Corp holds CSLB licence #1092628 — verify it, and any contractor you are considering, with the California State License Board.


Roof Replacement FAQs

How much does a roof replacement cost in Los Angeles?

Most residential roof replacements in the LA area run from about $9,000 to $25,000, depending on the size and pitch of the roof, the material you choose, how many old layers must be torn off, and any decking repairs found once the old roof is removed. Asphalt shingle is the most affordable; tile and metal cost more but last longer. We provide a free inspection and a clear, written, fixed-price quote before any work begins.

How long does a new roof last?

It depends on the material. Architectural asphalt shingles typically last 25–30 years, standing-seam metal 40–70 years, and clay or concrete tile 50+ years when installed and maintained properly. Correct installation, ventilation, and quality underlayment all make a big difference in how long your roof lasts.

Should I replace my roof or just repair it?

If the roof is near the end of its life, leaking in multiple spots, or losing shingles and granules, replacement is usually the better long-term value. If the damage is isolated and the roof is otherwise sound, a repair may be all you need. We’ll give you an honest recommendation after inspecting the roof and attic.

Can you install a new roof over the old one?

We generally recommend a full tear-off rather than a roof-over. Layering new shingles over old ones hides deck damage, adds weight, shortens the new roof’s life, and can void warranties. A tear-off lets us inspect and repair the decking and install every layer correctly.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most single-family roof replacements are completed in one to three days, depending on the size of the roof, the material, and the weather. Larger or more complex roofs with tile or extensive deck repairs can take longer. We’ll give you an exact timeline with your quote.

What roofing material is best for the Los Angeles climate?

Architectural asphalt shingles offer the best value for most homes. Tile is popular for its classic SoCal look and long life, and metal is excellent for durability and fire resistance. Cool-roof and reflective options can also cut summer cooling costs. We’ll help you weigh look, budget, and performance.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. We pull the required roofing permits and coordinate the city inspection as part of the job, so your new roof is fully code-compliant and properly documented.

Will my insurance cover a roof replacement?

If your roof was damaged by a covered event such as a storm, insurance may cover part or all of the replacement. Normal age and wear usually are not covered. We’re happy to document the damage and work alongside your adjuster.
