Los Angeles Commercial Roof Replacement
COMMERCIAL ROOF REPLACEMENT IN LOS ANGELES
When repairs stop holding, a full re-roof resets the clock. We tear off to the deck, correct the drainage, and install a new system built for Los Angeles heat, rain and California energy code, phased so your business keeps running.

WHEN A LOS ANGELES COMMERCIAL ROOF REPLACEMENT MAKES SENSE
Replacement is the right call when the roof has stopped being repairable, not just because it's old. These are the signs we look for:
- Wet insulation across large areas of the roof
- A membrane that has gone brittle, shrunk or pulled away at the edges
- Leaks that keep appearing in new places after each repair
- A roof that has already been re-covered once, since building code limits how many layers can be stacked
- A sale, refinance or new long-term tenant that needs a roof with years of life ahead of it
WHAT A COMMERCIAL RE-ROOF INCLUDES
TEAR-OFF & DECK CHECK
Old roofing removed to the deck, with damaged decking found and repaired before anything new goes down.
INSULATION & DRAINAGE
New insulation where it's needed and tapered sections that move water to the drains instead of letting it pond.
MEMBRANE SYSTEM
TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen or built-up roofing, chosen for your building. Compare them on our commercial roofing systems page.
FLASHING & EDGE METAL
New flashing at walls, curbs and penetrations, and new edge metal and coping, so the weak points are as new as the field.
TITLE 24 COOL ROOF
Reflective membranes and coatings rated for California's energy code on qualifying re-roofs.
CLEANUP & WALKTHROUGH
Daily cleanup, a final walkthrough with you, and your warranty in writing.
TITLE 24 AND YOUR RE-ROOF
Most low-slope commercial re-roofs in the Los Angeles area fall under California's Title 24 energy code, which sets minimum reflectance and emittance for the new roof surface. We spec products that meet the requirement for your building and note compliance on your proposal. Read more in our guide to Los Angeles cool roof requirements.
REPLACE, RECOVER OR RESTORE?
FULL TEAR-OFF
Everything removed to the deck. The right choice when insulation is wet or the roof already has two layers.
RECOVER
A new membrane installed over a single existing roof with dry insulation. Less disruption and less waste.
RESTORE
A commercial roof coating over a sound membrane, often the lowest-cost way to add years.

We document the roof, the drainage and the condition of the insulation.
WRITTEN PROPOSAL
System options, scope and schedule, itemized so you can compare bids line by line.
PHASED INSTALLATION

WALKTHROUGH & WARRANTY
A final walkthrough, closeout photos and your warranty in writing.
COMMERCIAL ROOF REPLACEMENT QUESTIONS
HOW MUCH DOES A COMMERCIAL ROOF REPLACEMENT COST?
It depends on roof size, the system you choose, how much insulation and decking need replacing, and access. Your proposal itemizes each of those so you know exactly what you're paying for.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
A small building can take a few days; a large warehouse can take several weeks. Weather and material lead times also play a part. Your proposal includes a schedule.
CAN MY BUSINESS STAY OPEN DURING THE RE-ROOF?
In most cases, yes. We work in sections, keep the building watertight at the end of each day, and plan noisy work around your hours where we can.
DO I NEED A PERMIT TO REPLACE A COMMERCIAL ROOF?
Most Los Angeles-area cities require a permit for a commercial re-roof. Your proposal shows how permitting and inspections are handled for your project.
WHICH ROOFING SYSTEM LASTS LONGEST?
Service life depends on the system, the installation and the maintenance more than the brand. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your building and how long you plan to own it.
