Residential Roofing in Santa Monica
Most of our Santa Monica work is residential, and the housing stock here is unusually varied. You have 1920s craftsman bungalows in Ocean Park and the Pico District, mid-century homes in the flats, and larger two-story houses on the hillside north of Montana. Each one needs a different approach. Homeowners here care about three things: stopping leaks before they reach the drywall, keeping the roof looking right from the street, and getting a warranty that actually means something. We handle roof replacement and roof repair on all of it, from a single missing shingle to a full tear-off with new decking.
- Full roof replacement — We tear off old layers down to the deck, replace any rot, and rebuild with new underlayment, flashing and shingles. On Santa Monica coastal homes we spec algae-resistant shingles and corrosion-resistant fasteners as standard, because that is what survives the salt air.
- Leak tracing and repair — When water shows up on a Santa Monica ceiling, we trace it with a hose test instead of guessing. Most leaks here start at pipe boots, valley metal or skylight curbs, and we repair the actual source rather than patching the stain.
- Flat and low-slope roof work — Many Santa Monica bungalows have flat rear sections or carport roofs. We install and repair TPO membrane and modified bitumen, and we fix ponding by correcting slope and drainage instead of adding another patch over the low spot.
- Pre-sale roof inspections — Selling a Santa Monica home usually means a buyer wants a roof report. We inspect shingles, flashing, ventilation and drainage, photograph everything, and give you a written document your agent can hand over without a follow-up argument.
