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

There’s a pattern we see on block after block off Burbank Boulevard and Oxnard Street: stucco bungalows from the late 1940s with roofs that should have been torn off twenty years ago, but got layered over instead. Homeowners in North Hollywood call us because we actually know what’s under those layers. Our crews have opened enough NoHo roofs to know that skip sheathing from the original build is usually shot, the flashing at the stucco parapet is dried out, and the framing at the eaves often needs attention before new architectural shingles go down properly.

We handle three things in-house: Roof Replacement, repair, and inspection. That means when you call about a leak near the chimney, we send a roofer who can tell you honestly whether it’s a $600 flashing fix or a $14,000 tear-off, not a sales rep who only gets paid if you sign a replacement contract. We inspect first, recommend second. That has been how Rick Dominguez has run our jobs since day one, and it’s why NoHo homeowners keep our number in their phones.

Our response time to North Hollywood is usually same-day for inspections and 24 – 48 hours for a written estimate. We cover every ZIP in the area: 91601, 91605, 91606, 91615, 91616, and 91618. If you’re near the NoHo Arts District or up toward Valley Glen, you’re in our regular rotation.

New Roof Installation in North Hollywood

New Roof Installation in North Hollywood on a 1940s bungalow is rarely a simple peel-and-stick job. The house was framed when lumber was cheap and code was loose. The original skip sheathing, which is just spaced 1×6 boards with gaps between them, can’t carry modern architectural shingles to a 130 mph wind nailing spec without being re-decked. So a “new roof” here usually means new plywood or OSB decking over the old framing, then ice and water shield in valleys and around penetrations, then your shingle of choice. The re-deck typically adds $2,500 – $5,500 to the job depending on square footage, and you won’t know if you need it until the old roof comes off. We write that allowance into the contract from the start so you’re not surprised mid-job.

What We Replace On Every Tear-Off

The decking, the drip edge, the valley metal, and every piece of flashing. If the stucco parapet wall has pulled away from the roof plane, we cut and reglet the flashing there, which is the detail most newer crews miss on NoHo bungalows. We also replace pipe boots and re-flash the chimney if you have one.

Choosing Your Shingle

On a full replacement, North Hollywood homeowners get a straight choice rather than whatever brand happens to be on the truck. We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Boral among others. For most of these east Valley homes with shallow pitches and long sun exposure, we lean architectural shingles for the wind rating and the dimensional look. But if you want the clay tile look without reframing, Boral steel is an option we spec fairly often.

Reroofing in North Hollywood

Reroofing in North Hollywood almost always means a full tear-off, and that’s where the real conversation starts. A lot of these bungalows got re-covered instead of re-roofed: the original wood shake stayed down, someone laid rolled roofing over it in the 70s, and then someone else nailed asphalt shingles over that in the 90s. Code allows only two layers in most LA jurisdictions, but NoHo has plenty of three-layer roofs that predate enforcement. When we open one, the bottom layer is usually decomposing shake sitting on skip sheathing that crumbles when you walk on it. That means the decking, not the shingles, often drives the final scope and price. Reroof plans on these homes run $12,500 – $19,000 all-in once you account for tear-off, re-deck, water shield, and a proper architectural shingle. Patch-layering is almost never the right call here, and we’ll tell you that plain.

The Tear-Off Reveal

We price the decking as a line item per sheet, not as a vague ‘decking repairs TBD’. When the roof comes off, you get a photo and an exact count of sheets needing replacement, and the price per sheet was already in your contract. No argument, no renegotiation, no instruction to the crew to hold the job hostage.

When Reroofing Beats Patching

If your roof has two or more layers already, or you can see granules in the gutters and the roof is over 22 years old, a patch buys you maybe one more rainy season. The dried-out flashing at your stucco parapets will keep leaking whether or not the field shingles look fine. A reroof resets all of it at once.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Hollywood

Most roofing companies in the Valley push one brand because they get better pricing from that distributor. We stock and install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, which means our recommendation is based on your roof’s pitch, your sun exposure, and your budget, not on what’s stacked in our yard. Seven leading brands, one crew that knows them all. For North Hollywood customers, we keep common color lines and accessory parts for GAF and CertainTeed local, so if you need a bundle matched after a repair we aren’t waiting a week on a distributor. Your roof, your material choice, installed to the manufacturer’s spec because we actually know each one’s installation requirements.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in North Hollywood Homes

• Stacked roofs over rotted skip sheathing. Because so many NoHo bungalows were re-roofed over the original wood shake instead of torn off, tear-off routinely uncovers two or three layers. The bottom layer has usually composted into the gaps between the skip boards, and the sheathing won’t hold a nail for new shingles.
• Dried-out flashing at stucco parapets and wall transitions. It looks fine in September and leaks in February. The stucco wicks water behind the flashing, and once the wood behind it rots, the fix is not a tube of caulk. It’s cutting the stucco, replacing the flashing, and often reframing part of the parapet.
• Undersized or insect-damaged framing at the eaves. Drywood termites love old Valley bungalows, and the eave framing is where they start. When we open the roof plane, we find rafter tails that can’t hold a new fascia board, let alone a 130 mph wind nailing pattern. That framing repair gets priced per linear foot and approved by you before it’s done.
• UV-fried shingles on low-slope sections. The east Valley runs hotter than the rest of LA, with triple-digit afternoons that bake asphalt shingles into brittle flakes within 15 – 18 years even when the rest of the roof looks fine. Low-slope sections facing south on Valley Glen and NoHo homes age fastest, and that’s usually the first place a replacement becomes urgent.
