Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Hollywood
Roof replacement in Hollywood, CA typically costs between $14,800 and $42,000 depending on roof size, slope, materials, and what we find once the old roof comes off. Most jobs in the 90028 zip code run 5 to 10 working days from tear-off to final inspection. If you’re dealing with a leaking flat roof on a 1920s courtyard apartment off Santa Monica Boulevard or a cracked clay tile roof on a hillside bungalow near Beachwood Canyon, call (833) 467-4901 and we’ll come out, inspect the roof honestly, and give you a written line-item estimate before you commit to anything.
Why Huntington Beach Roofers Is Hollywood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Hollywood homeowners deal with a specific set of roof problems. The housing stock is old. The roofs are visible. And the hillside streets present access issues most contractors never see in the flats. We work in Hollywood regularly, from the Spanish Colonial Revival bungalows off Hollywood Boulevard to the low-rise courtyard apartments around Sunset and Western. Our crews know how to stage a tear-off on a narrow hillside street without blocking a neighbor’s driveway, and we understand that on many of these properties the roof is the only place to work from.
Neil Stratton leads our roofing team, and he’s built the company around a simple process: inspect first, recommend second. We don’t send a salesperson to pitch you a replacement before anyone has looked at what’s actually failing. That matters in Hollywood, where a leak often traces back to something hidden, like dry-rotted skip sheathing or a failed seam on a modified-bitumen flat roof that looked fine from the ground.
We carry materials from seven manufacturers, including Atlas, Tamko, and GAF. That means when we recommend a shingle or a tile, it’s because it fits your roof and your budget, not because it’s the only product we’re authorized to install. From the first inspection to the final shingle, one contractor handles it.

Roof Replacement Contractor in Hollywood
A Roof Replacement contractor in Hollywood does more than swap old materials for new. On most of the homes in this area, a replacement means stripping down to the decking, repairing or replacing rotted wood, upgrading underlayment, and resetting whatever profile was there before, whether that’s clay tile, asphalt shingle, or a built-up flat roof. You need a replacement when patching stops making sense, when the roof is past 20 to 25 years old, or when the leaks have become recurring rather than occasional. A full roof replacement in Hollywood runs $14,800 to $42,000, with most flat roof replacements on smaller courtyard units landing between $16,000 and $24,000.
Decking and Underlayment First
We treat the deck as part of the roof system, not a separate surprise. On older Hollywood homes the original 1×6 skip sheathing is often dry-rotted from decades of minor leaks. We price decking replacement into the initial estimate whenever the roof shows signs of age, so the number you approve is the number that matches the actual work.
Parapet and Tile Preservation
Many Hollywood roofs sit behind decorative parapets or under clay tile that’s original to a 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival build. We preserve those profiles. When we reset tile, we match the existing drip edge and roofline so the house keeps its character. That’s part of the job here, not an add-on.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Hollywood
An Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Hollywood is the most common replacement path for the Craftsman bungalows and small pitched-roof homes scattered through the 90028 zip code. You’re looking at $14,800 to $28,000 for a standard single-story home, depending on square footage, tear-off layers, and whether we’re replacing decking. Architectural shingles from Atlas, Tamko, or GAF run slightly higher than three-tab but hold up noticeably better under Hollywood’s UV load and winter rain cycles.
Why Shingle Choice Matters Here
Hollywood gets long dry summers and concentrated winter storms. That pattern bakes cheap shingles, then floods them. We lean toward architectural shingles with higher wind ratings for hillside exposure, especially on streets where Santa Ana winds push debris across the roof surface.
Sightline and Profile Concerns
On hillside streets running up toward the Hollywood Sign, the roof is visible from below. A mismatched shingle color or profile change alters the streetscape. We keep that in mind when recommending materials and colors for homes that sit in the view corridor or near HPOZ-adjacent blocks.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We’re authorized to install roofing products from seven manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning service in Hollywood, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Hollywood customers, that usually means we’re matching what’s already on the roof or upgrading to a profile that fits the neighborhood. Atlas and Tamko architectural shingles cover most pitched-roof replacements. GAF covers flat and low-slope applications with modified-bitumen systems. Because we’re not tied to one brand, we can work with what’s available and what fits. If a product is backordered or a homeowner’s insurance claim requires documentation from a specific manufacturer, we can pivot without stalling the project. Seven brands. One contractor.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Hidden dry rot under clay tile. On older Spanish Colonial Revival homes, the tile looks fine from the ground. We pull it and find the original skip sheathing has been rotting for years. The leak only shows up after winter rains push water through gaps that had been blocked by debris.
- UV-baked flat roof membranes on courtyard apartments. The 1920s low-rise apartments around Hollywood and Western often have modified-bitumen or built-up roofs that have baked through years of sun. The seams fail suddenly during the first concentrated storm, and the leak shows up indoors with no prior warning.
- Debris-clogged scuppers on hillside roofs. Palm fronds and eucalyptus leaves blow into the scuppers during Santa Ana events. Water ponds, sits, and rots the underlayment and decking underneath. By the time a leak appears inside, the deck is already gone.
- No attic access on hillside flats. Many Hollywood homes with flat or low-slope roofs have no attic. That means all work happens from the roof surface, and fascia or soffit rot goes undetected until tear-off. We plan for that, not discover it mid-job.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Hollywood
We build a decking and fascia allowance into the initial estimate, so when we open up a 1920s roof and find rotted skip sheathing or compromised framing, the repair is already priced and approved. We don’t proceed on any surprise work without written sign-off from you first. Neil Stratton’s policy is simple: price it before we touch it.
Yes, most Hollywood flat roof replacements require a permit, and some triggers do apply. If we’re replacing decking or structural framing, current code may require additional fastening or upgraded underlayment. We pull permits ourselves and schedule the inspections. Call (833) 467-4901 and we’ll tell you what your specific roof triggers before we start.
Architectural asphalt shingles from Atlas or Tamko handle the UV and rain cycle well on pitched roofs. For flat roofs, modified-bitumen systems from GAF hold up better than older built-up roofs under long sun exposure. We recommend based on slope, exposure, and the existing profile, not on what we have in stock.
We remove tile in sections, inspect the underlayment and decking, then reset the tile in the same profile with matched drip edge and flashing. If a parapet needs repair, we do it before resetting the tile so the finished roof looks consistent with the original streetscape. We keep the roofline intact, especially on HPOZ-adjacent and view-corridor properties.
Yes. We stage all work from the roof surface with ladder access, because that’s the only option on these homes. We inspect fascia and soffit from the roof edge during tear-off, which is often the first time anyone sees hidden rot. We build the estimate around that reality, so there’s no mid-job surprise about access or staging. Call (833) 467-4901 for an exact quote.
