Roof trouble rarely arrives at a convenient moment. Call us, describe the condition you are seeing, and we will explain what the work usually involves. Our estimate is always free.
We are Santa Monica Roofing Contractors, and we cover West Hollywood from our Santa Monica base. We repair roofs, we replace roofs, and we install new roofing on new construction. Homeowners and business owners both call us.
A West Hollywood call usually begins with three pieces of information. You give us the address and the property type, then you describe what the roof is doing. From there we can usually tell you whether this is a repair or something larger.
Ask whatever you want while you have us on the line, including questions about materials and methods.
The conversation costs nothing and carries no obligation, and we would rather talk you out of unnecessary work.

Roofing services for West Hollywood homes and businesses
Our work in this city comes down to a short list. We repair roofs that leak, and we replace roofs that are past repair. We also install new roofs when a builder sends us plans.
Roof repair means stopping a leak, resetting slipped tile, patching shingles, or replacing worn flashing. Small jobs still count here, and one failed flashing detail can soak a ceiling and the wall below.
Roof replacement is the larger project. We strip the old covering, inspect the decking underneath, and rebuild the roof from there. Rotted sheathing is the most common surprise on a replacement.
Roof installation covers new construction and additions, so send us the plans and we will price the roof assembly.
We treat an active leak as urgent work the moment you call. We will not promise you a truck at a particular hour.
Our estimate is free, and it stays free. A detailed written inspection report remains a separate paid service. The fee varies with the size of the roof, so we quote it on the call.
Buyers in escrow usually need that documented report. Insurers also request a roof condition check before renewal. Tell us which service you want and we will book the correct one.
We work on houses, condominiums, and small apartment buildings. We also handle storefronts and commercial properties, and the roof itself decides the method.
Commercial roofing belongs in this list too. Multi unit buildings and managed properties usually sit on low slope roofs. Property managers reach us on the same telephone line.
Roof coverings we work on across West Hollywood
Not every roof in West Hollywood is built the same way. Our method depends on the material already covering the building.
- Asphalt shingle, from a single patch to a complete tear off and re roof.
- Tile in clay, concrete, or slate, including lifting the tile and relaying it over new underlayment.
- Flat and low slope roofs, typically finished with a torch down cap sheet.
- Metal, including standing seam panels with concealed fasteners.
- TPO on commercial buildings, when the property genuinely calls for it.
Underlayment is the membrane that actually keeps water out beneath tile. It fails decades before the tile itself does. That is why a tile roof usually needs new underlayment rather than new tile.
We lift the tile in sections, strip the failed underlayment, and inspect the decking. We replace any board that has rotted, and then we restack your original tile.
Flat roofs behave differently from sloped roofs. Water sits instead of running off, so the seams and edges matter most. We inspect those details first on any low slope leak.
We will not name one system as the winner for every building. Pitch, decking condition, and the existing covering all move the answer.
Choosing between a roof repair and a roof replacement
This is the question we hear most often. No rule of thumb survives contact with an actual roof. We ask a short set of questions, and the answers point one way or the other.
A leak at one wall or chimney is often nothing more than flashing. Underlayment that has failed across the entire roof is a different conversation. Existing layers stacked on the decking change the answer again.
Cost is the first thing most callers ask about. We will not print a number here, because roofs are not priced that way. Squares, stories, pitch, decking condition, and existing layers all move the figure.
We will not diagnose your roof from here. We can discuss the situation and price the work honestly.
The table below shows what we ask on a first call. The left column describes what you notice, and the right column shows what helps us.
| What you notice | What helps us most |
|---|---|
| A stain spreading on a ceiling | Tell us the room and roughly when it showed up |
| Tile that has slipped or cracked | Say how many pieces and where they sit |
| Water standing on a flat roof | Point out where it pools and how long it stays |
| Flashing or metal that has lifted | Tell us if it is at a wall, chimney, or valley |
| Water coming in while it rains | Call us while it is happening if you can |
| A roof nobody has looked at yet | Ask about a free estimate or a paid report |

Santa Monica Roofing Contractors is a division of Home Vision Remodel.
Permit help before roofing work starts
Some roofing work requires a permit and some does not. We help property owners pull the required permit from the authority concerned. Approval, timing, and fees belong to the City, never to us.
The City of West Hollywood publishes its own building and safety guides and handouts. Read those documents for the City's exact wording, and ask us anything about the roof itself.
Roofing questions West Hollywood owners ask
How do you decide between repairing a roof and replacing it?
We look at how much of the roof is affected and what is under the covering. A single flashing leak often stays a repair. Underlayment that has failed across the roof usually points at replacement.
What should I know about my roof's history before I call?
Tell us the covering material and any repair work you already know about. Say whether anyone has been on the roof since you took the property on. Old patches and extra layers change what we look for.
What details should I have ready when I call?
Have the address, the property type, and a short description of what you have noticed. Say whether you want a free estimate or a paid written report. That is enough for us to get started.
