Most roof leaks do not show up where the water gets in. We diagnose with thermal imaging, drone inspection, and attic moisture readings before cutting anything — so the fix holds.
Every repair is photographed before and after, and the photos are emailed to you. If the underlying problem is bigger than we quoted, we stop and tell you before proceeding.
If we cannot find the leak, you do not pay for the diagnosis.
Our repair crews are based in Santa Monica and work every neighborhood in LA County daily — Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Mandeville Canyon, Topanga, Hancock Park, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Mar Vista, Venice, Marina del Rey, West Hollywood, Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Pasadena, Malibu. Our average dispatch time from Santa Monica HQ to any Westside address is under 45 minutes; the Valley and east-side neighborhoods add 20–30 minutes depending on traffic.
LA-specific repair patterns cluster by neighborhood. Coastal homes in Venice, Marina del Rey, and the Palisades see premature flashing corrosion from salt air — we always carry copper and stainless replacements for these zips. Hillside properties in Mandeville Canyon, Topanga, and Benedict Canyon are prone to wind-lifted tile after Santa Ana events; the fix is a high-wind nailing pattern the original installer often skipped. Historic homes in Hancock Park, Windsor Square, and West Adams usually need specialist tile matching we source from architectural salvage yards.
We repair every common LA roof material: clay and concrete tile, standing-seam metal, asphalt shingle, slate, composite shake, and TPO / flat systems — with matching-material stock on every truck.
Winter rain infiltration (December–March). LA's atmospheric-river storms now regularly dump 3–6 inches in 24 hours. Roofs that leaked fine for a decade in normal seasons fail at valley flashing, skylight curbs, and around any roof penetration installed without proper step flashing. See our LA rainy-season checklist.
Santa Ana wind damage (October–January). 60–80 mph gusts in the canyons lift shingle tabs, crack ridge tiles, and tear fascia loose. Claims spike the week after every major wind event — document damage fast before your insurer's weather-correlation window closes.
Wildfire-adjacent ember damage. Even homes that survive a fire often have ember-burn holes in asphalt shingles and cracks in clay tile from thermal shock. We inspect for this specifically in Topanga, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, and foothill communities.
Coastal salt corrosion. Galvanized steel flashing within three miles of the coast should be replaced proactively every 15–20 years or upgraded to copper. We carry both.
Deferred-maintenance repair. The most common call we take — a small drip that turns out to be years of accumulated sealant failure, clogged scuppers on a flat roof, or a rodent-chewed vent boot. Budget repair numbers triple once deck rot has started.
A tarp crew is usually on site within 90 minutes of your call anywhere in LA County, 24/7. Permanent repair follows within 72 hours for most jobs, assuming parts availability and weather cooperation.
Yes — every day. We photograph damage before touching anything, produce the adjuster-ready dossier your carrier expects, and work directly with major LA-region carriers (State Farm, Mercury, Farmers, AAA, Travelers, USAA). You pay your deductible; we handle the rest.
A small flashing repair runs a few hundred dollars; a valley rebuild with underlayment replacement and deck repair can run into the low thousands. We do not quote firm numbers by phone — we inspect, then write a real quote the same day.
Every day — that's our primary service area. Our Santa Monica HQ puts us under 45 minutes from every Westside address, and we keep crews in rotation across the Westside, South Bay, Valley, and Eastside.
Small spot repairs usually do not require a permit. Anything over a single roof plane, structural deck work, or a re-roof absolutely does — LADBS, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and Culver City all require permitted work. We pull the permit whenever it is required. Doing otherwise voids most homeowner insurance.
