Santa Monica Roof Replacement
ROOF REPLACEMENT IN SANTA MONICA
When repairs stop holding, a new roof resets the clock. We tear off to the deck, replace the underlayment and flashing instead of reusing them, and install a tile, shingle, flat or metal roof built for Santa Monica's coastal climate.
- Full Tear-Off
- New Underlayment & Flashing
- Written Estimates
WHEN A ROOF REPLACEMENT MAKES SENSE
- Leaks keep appearing in new places after each repair
- The underlayment beneath a tile roof has failed across large areas
- Shingles are brittle, curling or losing granules across the whole roof
- A flat roof is blistered, cracked or holding water everywhere
- You're selling, refinancing or renovating and need a roof with years ahead of it

ROOF REPLACEMENT QUESTIONS
HOW MUCH DOES A ROOF REPLACEMENT COST IN SANTA MONICA?
It depends on the roof's size, pitch, material and how much decking needs replacing. Your estimate itemizes each of those so you can compare bids line by line.
HOW LONG DOES A ROOF REPLACEMENT TAKE?
Most homes take a few days, depending on size, material and weather. Tile roofs take longer than shingle. Your estimate includes a schedule.
DO I NEED A PERMIT?
Most re-roofs in Santa Monica require a building permit. Your estimate explains how permitting and inspections are handled.
CAN YOU REUSE MY EXISTING TILES?
Sometimes. Sound tiles can often be removed, stored and re-laid over new underlayment, which keeps the look of the house and lowers material cost.
