Roof Replacement in Hollywood — Written Price, Workmanship Warranty

Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Hollywood

Roof replacement in Hollywood is a different animal than the flatlands a mile south. We know because we’ve been up on those steep hillside streets and down in the tight bungalow flats off Franklin and Fountain enough to recognize what a 1920s roof is hiding before a single tile comes off. If you’re in the 90028 and wondering whether your roof can be repaired or needs full replacement, we’ll give you a straight answer and a written line-item quote, not a sales pitch. Call us at (866) 321-6172 to schedule an inspection first. That’s how we start every job in Hollywood.

Key takeaways for Hollywood homeowners:

• Most 1910s – 1930s bungalows in 90028 need decking and underlayment work before new roofing goes on.
• Hillside streets above Franklin Ave fall under Class A fire-rated assembly requirements.
• We inspect first and write change-order allowances into your contract so the quote does not drift on you.
• You choose the material. We work with GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and the rest of the major brands.

Why Van Nuys Roofing Co Is Hollywood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company

Hollywood homeowners call us when the roof over a 1926 Spanish Colonial or a 1930s duplex starts showing its age, and they want someone who won’t flinch at original clay tile or skip sheathing. Our Roof Replacement team has worked on enough bungalows and hillside houses in this part of Los Angeles to know what the building department will ask for once a permit is pulled. We carry that experience into every estimate so you’re not surprised mid-project. We’re not the crew that gives you a low number and then hits you with change orders once the tile is off. We write allowances into the contract upfront and price surprises in writing before any work starts.

Our customers in Hollywood are homeowners weighing repair versus replacement on century-old construction. That’s exactly where an inspection-first approach pays off. We’ll tell you if your roof has five more years or if the next Santa Ana season is going to finish it. Then you decide, with real numbers in front of you. We handle inspection, repair, and full replacement under one crew, so you don’t coordinate three contractors across Hollywood traffic just to get a straight answer.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Hollywood

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Hollywood runs roughly $9,800 to $16,400 on a typical 1,100 – 1,500 square foot bungalow, depending on whether we’re tearing off two layers or one, replacing decking, and which shingle line you select. This is the most common replacement we perform in the 90028 flats, where mid-century additions and reconstructed bungalows often sit on sawn lumber that’s easier to work with than original skip sheathing. A shingle roof here makes sense when the existing composition shingle has granule loss across south-facing slopes, curling at the eaves, or leaks at the flashings around chimneys and plumbing stacks.

What Replacing Shingles Involves

We remove the old shingles and felt, inspect the decking underneath, and replace any plywood that’s delaminated or come loose before installing new underlayment and shingles. Nearly every asphalt shingle replacement in Hollywood includes new lead or steel flashing at all penetrations, drip edge at the eaves, and a ridge vent system if the existing attic ventilation is undersized. Rotted fascia and rake boards get replaced as needed.

When a Hollywood Homeowner Needs It

If your shingles are showing bare fiberglass, the granules are collecting in your gutters, or a wind event lifted shingles and exposed the underlayment, replacement is usually more cost-effective than patching. On bungalows that have already had one recover installed, most Hollywood roofs are at the end of their serviceable life once the second layer starts failing. At that point we recommend a full tear-off so the decking can be inspected and corrected.

New Roof Installation in Hollywood

New Roof Installation in Hollywood typically runs $12,500 to $21,800 for a smaller bungalow or duplex, and climbs with square footage, accessibility, and material choice. New construction and full re-roofs on gut-renovated 1920s homes are where this cost range lives. If you’re adding square footage, converting a garage to an ADU, or rebuilding after fire or structural work, the roof goes on as part of the new build or major remodel. A completely new roof system means new sheathing, new underlayment, new flashing, and the roof covering itself, all built to current California Title 24 and wildfire-zone requirements.

What Goes Into a New Roof System

We install the decking and underlayment ourselves rather than trusting whatever the framing crew left exposed. In Hollywood’s hillside zones, that means Class A-rated assemblies with ember-resistant vents at the eaves and ridge. Valley metal, edge metal, kickout flashing at roof-to-wall intersections, and pipe boots all get set to current code. On flat sections or porch roofs on Hollywood bungalows, we install tapered insulation or modified bitumen systems as the design calls for.

When a Full New Roof Is the Right Call

A new roof installation makes sense when the existing roof structure itself is undersized, the sheathing has failed across most of the surface, or a major remodel has opened the roof up anyway. In Hollywood, where original 1×6 skip sheathing is common, a full new roof means installing plywood or OSB across the entire field rather than patching boards. It’s the cleanest way to get a roof that actually meets current code and can carry the material you want.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood

We don’t push one brand. We’re fluent in GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, which means your product recommendation comes from what your roof actually needs, not from a supplier contract. If a homeowner on a 1920s Spanish Colonial in 90028 wants a DaVinci synthetic slate look, we can talk through the Owens Corning or CertainTeed product lines that fit that aesthetic. If a flat-roofed apartment building near Sunset and Western needs a membrane, we discuss the GAF or IKO options that work with the existing parapet height and drainage. Parts and materials are ordered for Hollywood delivery specifically, so your roof isn’t waiting on a distribution run from the Valley.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• Fragile original clay tile shattering during tear-off. On a 1910s – 1930s Spanish Colonial, the original clay is brittle after 90 years of sun. When we can, we salvage and reset it. When we can’t, we match the profile with new tile from the same style family and document the change order before ordering.
• Sun-baked south and west slopes hiding failed underlayment. Those slopes get hammered by Santa Ana winds and direct sun, and the felt underneath is often dust by the time the tile comes off. You won’t see that from the ground. We’ll know it from the attic inspection before we ever write the quote, and we’ll price the decking and underlayment replacement into the allowance.
• Steep narrow sideyards limiting staging. In the flats below the Hills, 1920s bungalows sit close together, sometimes four feet apart. That means hand-carrying squares down a sideyard and protecting the neighbor’s stucco wall from ladder contact. We schedule Hollywood jobs with that in mind, not against it.
• Flashings that have been leaking for years. Rusted and split flashings at chimneys, crickets, and parapet walls are the most common hidden leak source in Hollywood’s older stock. We replace every penetration flashing on a replacement, not just the ones that are visibly rusted.
