Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across North Hollywood
A full Roof Replacement in North Hollywood typically runs between $11,000 and $28,000 for a standard single-story home, with most asphalt shingle jobs landing in the $13,000 – $19,000 range. Flat roof replacement on the older apartment stock in 91605 and 91606 usually comes in higher per square foot because of the demo, re-sloping, and drainage work involved. We work all over the Valley side of the hill from the NoHo Arts District out to Valley Glen and Burbank, and we price with real numbers, not vague ranges. Call (866) 217-3967 and we’ll put a written estimate in your hands.
Why Moreno Valley Roof Repair Is North Hollywood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
North Hollywood homeowners keep calling us for one reason: we don’t show up locked to a single brand or a single approach. We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Boral, so the recommendation you get is based on your roof’s pitch, your sun exposure, and your budget. That matters in a neighborhood where the housing stock flips from 1920s bungalows on the NoHo side to 1960s low-slope duplexes east of the 170. Ruben Ibarra has walked enough of these roofs to know which material handles a west-facing Valley summer and which one doesn’t.
We’re also a repair and inspection company first. That means when we quote a replacement in North Hollywood, we’re not guessing about what’s underneath. We’ve already pulled shingles, checked the decking, and looked at the drains. If repair makes more sense than replacement, we’ll tell you that. If replacement is the honest call, we’ll show you why with photos and measurements.
Styles & brands we work with
New Roof Installation in North Hollywood
New Roof Installation in North Hollywood usually means one of two scenarios: a full tear-off on a 1920s – 1950s bungalow with original wood sheathing, or a clean-sheet install on a new build or an added ADU off the alley. Both jobs start the same way: we pull the old layers, inspect the decking board by board, and replace anything rotted before the underlayment goes down. On older bungalows in 91601 and 91616, we almost always find water damage at the eaves and around old swamp cooler cutouts.
New construction in North Hollywood is its own animal. The city of Los Angeles permit path applies to most of the lots between Burbank Boulevard and Magnolia, and we pull every permit ourselves. We also coordinate directly with the general contractor if you’re adding a second story or a detached unit. You don’t have to play messenger between trades.
Decking and Structural Work Before the Roof Goes On
On tear-offs, we budget for decking replacement from the start. Not as a surprise change order. We’ll quote the roof with a per-sheet allowance for bad wood, and we’ll show you the damaged boards when they come off. If your home has skip sheathing from the 1940s, we re-sheet to meet current code before nailing anything down.
Flat and Low-Slope Installations
The part of North Hollywood east of Vineland and south of Victory has a huge share of flat and low-slope buildings. New installation there is membrane work: single-ply or modified bitumen, installed over re-sloped insulation or new plywood. We size drains and scuppers to what the roof actually needs, not what was there in 1958.
Reroofing in North Hollywood
Reroofing in North Hollywood is the bread-and-butter job here: tearing off two or three layers of old asphalt shingle from a 1950s ranch and installing a fresh architectural shingle system rated for the wind and heat. A standard reroof on a 1,200 to 1,600-square-foot home around Colfax Meadows or Valley Glen runs $13,000 to $21,000 depending on decking replacement and the shingle line you choose. We’ll show you samples from GAF Timberline, CertainTeed Landmark, and Owens Corning Duration side by side before you commit.
The reroofing decision usually comes after a stretch of visual curling on the south-facing slope, or after a winter storm reveals a soft spot in the ceiling. We don’t push replacement when targeted repair will buy you five more years. But when the shingles are baked through and the underlayment is failing, reroofing is cheaper than chasing leaks twice a year.
When the Original Shingle Layers Have to Come All the Way Off
North Hollywood code and good roofing practice require a full tear-off down to the decking on most reroof jobs. We don’t install over old shingles. A clean deck lets us inspect the wood, fix any sagging rafters at the ridge or eaves, and install a modern synthetic underlayment that actually handles a 150-degree August afternoon.
Choosing the Right Architectural Shingle for the Valley Sun
Some shingle lines hold up better on a west-facing 91601 roof than others. We recommend options across three brands rather than one “house pick.” If you want the look of a heavy laminate with strong wind resistance, GAF Timberline HDZ or CertainTeed Landmark are both solid. If budget is tighter, Owens Corning Duration still gives you a good service life. We’ll lay out the real cost difference and the warranty terms so you can choose with your eyes open.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Hollywood
We’re authorized to install and supply materials from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That’s seven major roofing manufacturers under one roof, and it means the material conversation starts with your house and your street, not with whatever is sitting in our warehouse. For North Hollywood homeowners we keep local stock of the most common shingle colors and flat-roof membrane accessories, so a standard roof replacement doesn’t stall waiting on a warehouse transfer. When you’re comparing a Boral tile profile against an Owens Corning laminate for a Spanish-style bungalow off Riverside Drive, we’ll give you the honest trade-off, not a sales pitch for whichever one pays us a bigger rebate.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in North Hollywood Homes
- Curled and cracked shingles on west- and south-facing slopes. Valley heat bakes those slopes first. A roof that looks fine from the street can be fully shot on the back side, and any bid that prices only the visible elevation is missing the real scope.
- Flat roofs that pond at the same low spot every rainy season. The original 1950s – 60s drains and scuppers on apartment buildings in 91605 and 91606 were sized for a much drier era. A new membrane over the old slope just moves the leak.
- Santa Ana wind damage at the drip edge and ridge. Peeled shingles usually mean the original fastening pattern and starter strip were never upgraded to current wind ratings. A proper replacement re-nails the field, upgrades the starter, and adds a wind-rated ridge cap.
- Rotted decking hidden under two or three old shingle layers. You can’t see it from the ground, but it’s there on older bungalows. We bid decking replacement as a known cost, not a hidden surprise.

AfterPricing for Roof Replacement in North Hollywood, CA
A standard architectural shingle reroof on a single-story North Hollywood bungalow runs $13,000 to $19,000.

Flat roof replacement on apartments in 91605 and 91606 typically runs $9 to $14 per square foot, with the spread driven by how much re-sloping and drain work the building needs.

The price we quote is the price you pay, unless we uncover damage that was literally impossible to see before tear-off, and even then we show you photos before you approve a penny more.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in North Hollywood
Most addresses in North Hollywood fall under the city of Los Angeles, which means a city permit is required, and we pull it for you. The county-versus-city split in the Valley confuses a lot of homeowners, but we check the jurisdiction on every job before we write the scope. The permit path affects inspection timing and sometimes the required underlayment or fire rating, so we handle it upfront.
It changes the material and the underlayment. On a west- or south-facing slope in 91601, surface temperatures routinely pass 150 degrees in August, so we recommend shingles with a higher solar reflectance and a synthetic underlayment that won’t degrade like old felt. We also pay close attention to flashing design at the eaves where thermal expansion is strongest.
Because the original 1950s and 60s drains and scuppers were sized for a much drier era, and they were never upgraded as the city grew denser and more water shed onto those roofs. A replacement that doesn’t resize and re-slope those drains will leak again within two winters. That’s why we address drainage geometry first on every flat roof we touch in those ZIP codes.
We build decking replacement into the estimate as a per-sheet line item, so you have a real number instead of a vague “allowance.” We also factor in the extra labor to tear off two or three old layers. On a 1950s North Hollywood ranch, that typically adds a few thousand dollars to the total compared to a clean tear-off, but the alternative is nailing a new roof onto wood that won’t hold it.
We install shingle systems rated to at least 110 mph wind, and we upgrade the starter strip and fastening pattern to match. Most original North Hollywood roofs were nailed to a 60 or 70 mph standard. After one Santa Ana season, that difference shows up at the drip edge and ridge. If your roof is overdue for replacement, call (866) 217-3967 and we’ll give you an honest assessment and a real number.
On a 1950s low-slope duplex off Victory Boulevard in 91606, we tore off three layers of failed hot-mop, replaced rotted decking, and installed a GAF single-ply membrane with new scuppers and crickets to fix chronic ponding. The owner had been patching the same corner for years. We re-pitched that section and added an overflow drain, and the unit stayed dry through the following winter storms. That’s what a proper roof replacement in North Hollywood looks like on the flat side of town.
