Residential Roofing in Van Nuys
Most of our Van Nuys work is residential. The housing stock ranges from 1920s bungalows near the Civic Center to 1960s ranch homes in Lake Balboa and Panorama City. Many of these roofs are on their second or third layer of shingles, and some still have original flat roof sections. Homeowners here care about three things: stopping leaks, keeping the house cool in summer, and getting a roof that lasts. We handle all three. Whether you need a small repair or a full replacement, we treat your home like we would treat our own, which means clean job sites, clear pricing, and no surprises.
- Asphalt shingle roof replacement — Most Van Nuys homes have pitched asphalt shingle roofs. We tear off the old layers, inspect and repair the deck, then install new underlayment, flashing, and Owens Corning or GAF shingles. A typical 1,500-square-foot home takes two to three days and carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty.
- Flat roof repair and recoating — Flat roofs on Van Nuys homes and additions need attention every 10 to 15 years. We repair seams, replace failed sections, and recoat with TPO or modified bitumen. If the roof ponds, we add tapered insulation to fix the slope before recoating.
- Roof leak diagnosis and repair — We trace leaks to the actual entry point using moisture meters and hose testing, not guesswork. Most Van Nuys leaks start at flashing, pipe boots, or valley joints. Repairs typically take two to four hours and run $180 to $450, with photos before and after.
- Attic ventilation upgrades — Poor attic ventilation is the hidden reason many Van Nuys roofs fail early. We install ridge vents, intake vents, and solar attic fans sized to your attic volume. This drops summer attic temperatures, extends shingle life, and can lower cooling bills by 10 to 15 percent.
