When New Roof Installation Fits Your Santa Monica Project
New roof installation fits builds with no roof yet: new homes, additions, ADUs, and garages. It also fits supplied-plan work, where the owner, builder, or GC already has drawings for the job. We read those drawings, then discuss deck, underlayment, flashing, and material choices with you.
An existing roof that leaks or has worn out belongs on our roof replacement page. For ongoing care of a business roof, see commercial roofing or call (424) 217-3627.
Details to Have Ready Before You Call
A quick snapshot helps us scope your new roof. Share these six details when you call. We will guide the next step.
- Plan status: tell us if drawings are approved, under City review, or still being drafted.
- Build type: new construction, addition, ADU, garage, or a builder-supplied scope.
- Intended system: asphalt shingle, tile, metal, or flat low-slope roofing you are considering.
- House and roof details: stories, approximate roof size, pitch, and deck condition.
- Access and coordination: parking, staging space, and your general contractor's build schedule.
- Open permit questions: anything unclear about City of Santa Monica permit rules.
Call (424) 217-3627 and we will walk through each item together.
Roofing Systems We Install
Every new roof we install stacks a deck, underlayment, and covering, with flashing sealing joints between them. Knowing those parts makes plan review and material conversations easier for owners and builders.
- Deck: the structural base, built from wood panels, concrete, or steel.
- Underlayment: a water-resistant sheet or self-adhered membrane installed over the deck before the covering is applied.
- Flashing: shaped metal sealing valleys, edges, wall junctions, and pipe penetrations.
- Covering: the visible top layer, whether shingles, tile, metal, or membrane.
Pitched Residential Systems
Pitched roofs can use asphalt shingles, tile, or metal, and fastening changes with each material. Residential roofing is the broader service for house roof work beyond new installations.
Low-Slope and Commercial Systems
Low-slope decks take flat roofing membrane instead of the pitched coverings above. Your supplied plans often name the membrane system and material before we start.
Roof Installation Versus Roof Replacement
Both jobs can look similar from the street. The starting point usually decides which page fits yours. Compare the two below.
| Comparison | New installation | Existing-roof replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | New deck on new construction, addition, ADU, or garage. | An existing roof already covering the building. |
| Useful information | Plans, structure type, and your preferred roofing system. | Current system, number of layers, and roof access. |
| Where to start | Start with roof installation. | Start with roof replacement. |

Free Roof Installation Estimates
Our estimates for new roof installation are free. Call (424) 217-3627 or send your project details through our contact form. Tell us about the building, drawings, framing, and timing.
Your estimate looks at plans, deck framing, underlayment, flashing details, and site access. Each one can change what your roof installation involves. We can talk through your options if material and system decisions are still open.
Our paid roof inspection is a separate service. It gives you a detailed written report on your roof's current condition. Ask us if you want one alongside your installation estimate.
Santa Monica Roofing Contractors is a division of Home Vision Remodel. Review CSLB #1112525 before hiring any contractor for new roof construction.
Some Santa Monica installations need a building permit, and some do not, depending on the work. Should your installation require one, we help you secure that permit through the City of Santa Monica.
We point Santa Monica homeowners to the City's official guide explaining how to get a building permit.

Roof Installation Questions from Santa Monica Owners
What project details help you plan a roof installation?
Share the building type, roof shape, and any plans or drawings you already have. Tell us the building stage, such as new framing or an addition. Those details help us scope the work.
Are roof installation estimates free?
Yes, estimates are free. Written roof-condition reports are separate and fall under our paid roof inspection service. Call (424) 217-3627 to tell us about the job.
What is the difference between installation and replacement?
Installation covers a new deck that has never held a roof, like an addition or ADU. Replacement puts a new system on an existing roof structure. If your existing roof needs reroofing, start at roof replacement.
How do supplied plans shape the roofing system?
Supplied plans often show the roof type, slope, and flashing details we install. Plans may name asphalt shingle, tile, metal, or flat roofing. Your project design team keeps any unresolved design items and discusses them with us.
Does roof installation in Santa Monica need a permit?
Permit needs depend on the project, and rules vary by job. When your job needs a permit, we help you pull it from the City of Santa Monica. The City alone decides approval and conducts inspections.
