When leaks keep coming back or the underlayment has failed across the roof, a replacement protects the house better than more repairs.

In Rancho Palos Verdes, no re-roof starts without a City building permit. The City inspects the roof deck after the old roof comes off, and the finished roof at the end. If more than half of the roof is replaced, California’s cool roof rules apply.
How does a roof replacement work?
Initial Consultation and Inspection
We begin every roof replacement with a thorough look at your existing roof. We check for leaks, wood rot and ventilation issues so the estimate is accurate.
Material and Color Selection
Browse our wide array of colors like Onyx Black or Chateau Amber. We help you choose a material—be it Slate Like Shingles or S-Tiles—that complements your home’s architecture and meets your budget.
Site Preparation
We protect your landscaping and property before any work begins and keep the work area safe throughout the job.
Tear-Off and Structural Repair
We remove the old layers down to the wood sheathing and repair any rot or damage. Then the City inspects the roof deck before the new roof goes on.
Installation of New Roofing System
We install the new materials following the manufacturer's instructions, from torch-down on flat sections to S-tile layouts. Under the City's rules, tile heavier than 6 pounds per square foot needs structural engineering.
Final Inspection and Cleanup
When the installation is complete, we walk the roof and clean up the site. The City's final inspection checks the flashing and the lap of the new roofing.
What is included in a roof replacement?
A roof replacement covers the whole roof system, not just the surface. We don’t just install new shingles; we rebuild every layer. It includes:
Comprehensive Tear-Off & Disposal
We perform a complete removal of all old roofing materials down to the structural deck, ensuring proper and responsible disposal so your property remains clean.
Structural Sheathing Inspection
Our team conducts a detailed assessment of your wood sheathing to identify any rot or instability, ensuring your new roof is built on a solid and safe foundation.
Underlayment Replacement
We replace the old underlayment. On a tile roof whose tiles are still sound, we can often lift the tiles, install new underlayment and relay the same tiles.
Precision Flashing & Drip Edges
We install premium drip edges and custom-fitted flashings around chimneys and vents to prevent water intrusion in the roof’s most vulnerable areas.
Expert System Installation
We install your chosen material, whether asphalt shingle, S-tile, metal or torch-down, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Safety Sweep & Final Cleanup
We clean up the site at the end of the job and remove the debris from your property.

Rancho Palos Verdes Roof Replacement FAQ
How do I know if I need a full roof replacement?
If you have recurring leaks, see daylight through the attic, or notice widespread curling and granule loss on shingles, it is likely time for a replacement. On tile roofs, leaks in many places usually mean the underlayment has worn out.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Rancho Palos Verdes?
Yes. The City does not allow any re-roof to start without a building permit. Only repairs of 100 square feet or less, restored to their previous condition, can skip it. The City inspects the deck after tear-off and the finished roof.
What is the benefit of a Torch Down roof?
Torch Down roofing is excellent for flat or low-slope areas. It provides exceptional wind, water, and fire protection with low maintenance requirements, making it a favorite for modern residential designs.
Can I change the color of my roof during replacement?
Yes. We offer colors such as Driftwood, Harbor Blue and Slatestone Gray. When more than half of the roof is replaced, California’s cool roof rules apply, with products rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council. Cool roofs come in many colors.
How long does the 5-Year Labor Guarantee last?
Our labor guarantee covers the craftsmanship of the installation for five full years. It is in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty on the shingles or tiles themselves.
