We fix leaks and replace worn roofs here. The estimate is free.
Most calls here begin with a stain on a ceiling or a tile that has slipped out of line. We usually find the failure at a seam, a valley, or a vent. We repair those failures, and we replace roofs that have nothing left to repair.
You do not need to diagnose the roof before you call. Describe what you have seen, and ask us for a free estimate.
We repair leaks, replace worn roofs, and install new ones on the houses here. Water usually gets in above the ceiling stain, so the stain rarely marks the opening. We trace the water back to the location where it started.
Water travels along the wood deck and drops wherever the framing allows it. Flashing seals every joint where the roof meets a wall, a chimney, or a valley. Those joints fail far more often than the rest of the roof.
We reset slipped tile, patch shingles, replace cracked vent boots, and rebuild flashing joints. We also relay tile roofs over fresh underlayment, and substantial failures move to leak repair or a full replacement.
Every added layer conceals the decking and increases the cost of the next roof. Only a look at the roof itself tells us how many layers are up there. More layers mean more tear off, more weight to haul, and more labor.
Weight accumulates too, and the deck supports all of it. We count the layers before we quote. That count belongs in your estimate, so you hear the number before the work begins.
Call us with the address and tell us what you already know about the roof.
A repair fits a failure in one spot, like a slipped shingle or a cracked pipe boot. A replacement is right once separate failures spread across several roof planes and repeated patching stops solving the underlying problem. The layer count and the roof's age both belong in that decision.
Once several planes leak in different storms, one more patch will not settle it. A repair still makes sense while the rest of the roof holds up. We will say which case your roof is in before we talk about a number.
Rot in the wood sheathing under your covering usually settles the question. Wet boards are the usual reason a roofing scope expands.
We strip the old covering down to the bare wood deck first. A new roof laid over an old one conceals the problems we need to find. Then we inspect every board individually and replace whatever has gone soft or split.
New underlayment goes on next, under the shingle or tile. It keeps water outside while the covering handles the weather. The finish covering comes last.
Soft boards increase cost once the deck is open, so we show you the wood before we replace it.
We remove every nail, sweep the ground, and cart the debris away.
We examine valleys, roof edges, and drainage paths early in every estimate, because every roof moves water through them. Tile and shingle planes above a porch or a garage drain onto small low-slope areas. Those areas leak first, and they take torch down modified bitumen when we rebuild them.
Our flat roofing page covers that system.
We price by scope, so we measure before we talk numbers. Area comes first, and stories, pitch, and the existing layer count come next. Rot under the covering alters the number, and so does tile we have to lift and reset.
A mapped fire zone can require a different assembly, which changes the materials we list. We give you an accurate figure once we have measured your roof.
Asphalt shingle is the covering we replace most often in this neighborhood. Tile comes second, and most tile roofs need new underlayment rather than new tile. Low-slope sections over porches and garages take torch down modified bitumen instead of any shingle course.
On a tile roof the underlayment is usually the component that has failed. We lift the tile in sections, install a new sheet, and set the same tile back.
We also install standing seam metal, which locks the panels with raised seams and hidden fasteners. The pitch of your roof and the local code determine what will work on it. Send us the roof type and we will identify what fits.
South Monrovia Island is an unincorporated community, so a roof permit here runs through the county. It does not run through a city building department, and that matters before your work begins. When your job needs a permit, we help you pull it.
These streets sit under three Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, 91010, 91016, and 91706. Whichever one your house falls in, the county reviews the roof permit.
For unincorporated Los Angeles County, County Building and Safety is the public starting point for permit and inspection questions. California transitioned to the 2025 Title 24 code cycle on January 1, 2026. The state code page lists the editions currently in force.
Fire hazard severity zone mapping can also change what covering you need. Inside mapped High and Very High zones, replacing half a roof within twelve months triggers the new construction requirement.
Outside those zones, Class C is the state minimum, and testing assigns that rating to an entire roof assembly.
Call us about a leak, a slipped shingle, or a roof you already know is finished. The estimate is free, and it ends in a written scope you can keep. If you would rather write, send the contact form instead and describe what you have seen.
Our service areas page shows the whole map, and we work in nearby Arcadia, Mayflower Village, and Irwindale too.
The first winter storm usually exposes the leak that starts a South Monrovia Island job. We trace that water back along the deck to the point where it enters. Call (626) 323-8814 with the property address and everything you have already noticed up there.
Square footage is one input, and the layers underneath are another. We count the coverings on your deck here before we put any number in writing. Stories, pitch, and rot in the decking move that number as much as the area does.
Ask to see the damaged boards before anyone replaces them. We show you the soft wood on the deck, and we name every item in the written scope. Ask for the license number too, and verify it on the state Check a License lookup.
The first heavy storms expose leaks that a dry summer hides, so this work happens before winter. Your total still comes from the roof itself, and we measure it before we quote. Dry weather also keeps an open deck safe while we work.
