Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Commerce
Roof replacement in Commerce, CA typically runs $8,500 to $22,000 depending on whether you’re tearing off a steep shingle roof on a tract home near Bandini Boulevard or re-covering a flat modified-bitumen deck on a warehouse off Eastern Avenue. For most Commerce buildings, the job takes three to seven days once materials land. We’re Huntington Beach Roofers, and we’ve spent years working on the exact roof types Commerce throws at you: 1960s flat industrial decks, post-WWII houses with original sheathing, and everything between. Call (833) 467-4901 and we’ll schedule a free roof inspection first. No pressure, just a straight read on what you actually need.
Why Huntington Beach Roofers Is Commerce’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Most roofing companies in this part of LA County treat Commerce as an afterthought, a quick stop between larger jobs. We don’t. Our crews know the 90101 zip code well, from the residential streets north of Slauson to the warehouse rows along Garfield. The building stock here is different from Huntington Beach, and it demands a different approach. A contractor who mostly does steep shingle homes will misread a low-slope commercial membrane every time. We carry materials from Atlas, Tamko, Boral, and GAF, so we’re not forcing one brand onto a roof it doesn’t fit.
Neil Stratton, who leads our roofing team, has walked countless Commerce flat roofs with ponding issues at the scuppers. That experience means we know to check the low spots first, before quoting anything. When a Commerce customer calls about a leak, we start with where the water sits, not where the stain shows. That’s the difference between a bid that holds and one that doubles after tear-off.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Replacement Contractor in Commerce
A Roof Replacement Contractor in Commerce handles full tear-off and re-cover work on low-slope commercial buildings, flat warehouse decks, and the tract-style homes scattered through the city south of the 60 freeway. When the existing roof is original or one layer over, and the membrane has cracked from years of sun, replacement usually beats another patch. You’re looking at $9,000 to $20,000 for most flat commercial re-covers in Commerce, and $11,000 to $22,000 when we’re pulling off old shingles on a house and re-sheathing portions of the deck. We inspect first, recommend second. If repair is the honest answer, we’ll tell you that.
Full Tear-Off Versus Re-Cover
If your Commerce building already has one roof layered over another, code generally won’t permit a third. A full tear-off lets us inspect the deck underneath, which is where the real surprises live. We write allowances into the contract for rotted sheathing and framing so you’re never hit with an unapproved change order.
New Decking and Flashing Scope
When we open a Commerce roof and find soft decking around clogged drains, we stop and document it. You get a written approval request with the exact footage and material cost before we lay any new ply. Flashing gets replaced at every penetration, scupper, and curb. That’s not an upgrade. It’s the only way a flat roof in Commerce survives the winter rain that follows the long dry season.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Commerce
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Commerce applies mostly to the single-family houses in the residential pockets north of Washington Boulevard and around Bandini Park. These homes are often original 1950s or 1960s construction, meaning the roof deck is plywood or board sheathing that’s been baking for six decades. A full shingle re-roof here runs $11,000 to $18,000 for a typical 1,200 to 1,800 square foot home, with architectural shingles from Atlas or Tamko at the upper end. You pay for the tear-off, new underlayment, flashing, and the shingles themselves. We also replace rotted decking as we find it, priced per sheet with your sign-off.
Decking Replacement
On the hottest Commerce roofs, sheathing dries out and delaminates. Once the shingles come off, you can see the damage. We replace with CDX plywood to match thickness and code. A deck repair on an older Commerce home typically adds $900 to $2,400 to the quote depending on how many sheets are shot.
Architectural Versus Three-Tab
Three-tab gets the job done. Architectural shingles, like Atlas Pinnacle or Tamko Heritage, hold up better against the UV that Commerce gets year-round. They cost roughly 15 to 20 percent more, but they also carry longer manufacturer warranties. We’ll show you both prices. You pick.
Trusted Brands We Service in Commerce
We’re authorized to install roofing products from seven manufacturers, and for Commerce we lean on Atlas, Tamko, Boral, and GAF depending on the job. A flat commercial deck re-cover often calls for a GAF modified-bitumen system or Boral’s low-slope membrane. A shingle house near Cudahy might pair best with Atlas architectural shingles. Because we stock materials for multiple brands, we’re not stuck waiting on one manufacturer when a product is backordered. Commerce flat roof replacements move faster when we can pull from our existing inventory.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Commerce Homes
- Ponding at scuppers and drains. On Commerce’s flat commercial roofs, clogged drains hold water after winter storms. That water rots the deck underneath long before the interior shows a stain. We find it constantly on aging warehouse roofs along Slauson and Randolph.
- UV-baked modified-bitumen. The original or single-layer-over membranes on 1960s-era Commerce buildings have cracked under decades of direct sun. Once the membrane splits, water gets in and the deck starts going. A re-cover quote has to account for what’s underneath.
- Rotted sheathing on older tract homes. The single-family houses off Eastern Avenue and south of the 60 freeway often still have their original roof decks. Shingle tear-off reveals delamination and soft plywood that has to go before new shingles go down.
- Failed flashing at penetrations. HVAC units, vent pipes, and curb mounts on Commerce commercial roofs leak at the flashing points first. We replace every penetration flashing during a re-roof, which is where a lot of budget contractors cut corners.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Commerce
Because on Commerce’s aging flat decks, the membrane hides what’s underneath. Once we tear off the old modified-bitumen or built-up roof, we often find rotted decking around clogged scuppers, failed flashing at penetrations, or undersized framing that needs reinforcing. Our contract includes an allowance for deck repair, and every added cost is priced in writing with your approval before we proceed. Call (833) 467-4901 and we’ll walk you through how allowances work.
We start by clearing the drains and scuppers, then we slope the re-roof surface to move water toward them. If the deck around a clogged scupper has rotted, we cut it out and replace it before the new membrane goes down. On a post-WWII warehouse off Randolph Street in Commerce, our crew tore off two layers of dried-out modified-bitumen over an aged flat deck and found ponding rot around a clogged scupper where water had been sitting for seasons. We replaced the soft decking, ran new underlayment and flashing at every penetration and drain, and rebuilt the low-slope surface to shed toward the drains instead of holding water. The owner got a written approval for the deck repair before we laid a single new ply down.
Yes. Commerce is mostly flat commercial and industrial work, but the residential streets around Bandini Park and north of Washington Boulevard have plenty of shingle roofs. We replace both. A shingle roof on a Commerce house gets the same inspection-first approach: we check the deck, the flashing, the attic ventilation, then quote the full scope.
Roofers measure in “squares,” one square being 100 square feet of roof surface. Most Commerce residential roofs run 12 to 18 squares. Commercial flat decks can be 40 squares or more. When you’re comparing bids in Commerce, make sure each one lists the same square count, the same material, and the same deck repair allowance. Otherwise you’re comparing different jobs, not different prices.
Once a roof is opened in Commerce, the city can require bringing certain items up to current code: attic insulation levels, underlayment type, roof deck nailing patterns, and sometimes strapping or fire-rated assemblies on commercial buildings. We handle permits for every replacement, and we’ll tell you upfront which upgrades your project will likely trigger. That way the city’s requirements are in the bid, not a surprise mid-job.
