Trusted Roof Replacement for Los Angeles Homeowners
A Los Angeles Roof Replacement typically costs between $12,000 and $28,000 for a standard asphalt shingle roof on a 1,500 to 2,200 square foot home, and most full replacements take 3 to 7 days once materials arrive. Tilehurst Roofing Los Angeles has handled hundreds of full tear-offs and replacements across neighborhoods from Santa Monica to Redondo Beach, and we put a written price in your hands before any work starts. That’s the Kingswell Way: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails.
Greg Holloway leads our Los Angeles crew, and he’s seen every roofing failure this city can throw at a house: sun-baked shingles in Huntington Park, salt-air corrosion in Manhattan Beach, and wind damage through the canyons in Beverly Hills. If your roof is past its useful life or leaking past the underlayment, call us at (213) 674-2890. A live person answers, day or night.
Key Takeaways:
- Full roof replacement in Los Angeles runs $12,000 to $28,000 for most asphalt shingle homes, depending on square footage, pitch, decking condition, and material grade.
- Every job starts with a written, line-item price before any work begins, and that price doesn’t change unless you approve a change order in writing.
- We offer materials from seven major manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral.
- Every replacement carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right for a full year after the job, in writing.
Roof Installation
Roof Installation means putting a complete new roofing system on your home, including decking repair or replacement where needed, underlayment, drip edge, flashing, and the finished shingles or tiles. In Los Angeles, a full roof installation typically runs $12,000 to $28,000 for asphalt shingles, $18,000 to $45,000 for standing seam metal, and $25,000 to $60,000 for concrete or clay tile, depending on square footage and tear-off requirements. Tilehurst Roofing Los Angeles handles every step, from pulling permits with the city to hauling off the old roofing and passing final inspection.
Decking and Underlayment Done Right
We inspect the plywood decking after tear-off and replace any sections with water damage, soft spots, or sagging before the new roof goes on. The underlayment matters just as much as the shingles in Los Angeles, because our wet winters put real stress on the waterproofing layer.
Flashing and Leak Prevention
Roof installation fails most often at the intersections: chimneys, vents, skylights, and wall junctions. Our crew replaces all flashing with new material, not reused metal, because recycled flashing is where leaks start within the first year.

Roof Replacement Contractor
A Roof Replacement Contractor is the licensed professional who tears off your old roof, repairs the decking, and installs the new roofing system, and choosing the right one is the biggest decision you’ll make for your home’s exterior. Tilehurst Roofing Los Angeles is the local Kingswell family roofing contractor serving Los Angeles, and we’ve been doing replacements since 2000 with a track record built on written pricing and written guarantees. Most asphalt shingle replacements in Los Angeles run $12,000 to $28,000, and we give you the exact number in writing before any work begins.
Written Price Before Any Work Starts
The price you see is the price you pay. That’s not a slogan for us, it’s a contract: every replacement quote is line-itemed, signed, and honored with no surprise change orders at the door.
Background-Checked Crews You Can Recognize
Every technician on your roof has passed a background check and wears a Tilehurst uniform. When we say we’ll arrive at 8 a.m., you’ll see our truck pull up at 8 a.m., and you’ll know exactly who’s climbing the ladder.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement is the most common full roof replacement in Los Angeles, involving tearing off the old shingles and installing a new architectural or three-tab shingle system over fresh underlayment, and it typically costs between $12,000 and $22,000 for a standard single-family home. Tilehurst Roofing Los Angeles installs shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, so the product matches your home’s architecture and your budget rather than whatever happens to be on the truck. We recommend architectural shingles for most Los Angeles homes because they hold up better against both intense UV exposure and the occasional heavy downpour.
Architectural vs. Three-Tab Shingles
Architectural shingles cost about $2 to $4 more per square foot installed, but they last 10 to 15 years longer than three-tab shingles and resist wind uplift far better during Santa Ana events. In most Los Angeles neighborhoods, the upgrade pays for itself over the life of the roof.
Ridge Cap and Ventilation
A proper asphalt shingle replacement includes new ridge cap shingles along the peak and balanced intake and exhaust ventilation. Without adequate ventilation, your attic traps heat and moisture, which bakes shingles from below and shortens the roof’s life by years.
New Roof Installation
New Roof Installation refers to either a complete tear-off and replacement on an existing home or the first roof on a new build or addition, and for a full tear-off and replacement in Los Angeles it typically runs $12,000 to $28,000 for asphalt shingles depending on size and pitch. Tilehurst Roofing Los Angeles handles both scenarios, from repairing and replacing decking on older homes to coordinating with your general contractor on new construction from Culver City to View Park-Windsor Hills. The process always starts the same way: a thorough inspection, a written scope of work, and a fixed price before a single nail is driven.
Full Tear-Off vs. Roof-Over
We only recommend a full tear-off, never a roof-over. A roof-over hides decking rot, adds unnecessary weight, and typically voids the manufacturer’s warranty, and the small upfront savings disappears the first time you need a repair.
Permits and Final Inspection
Every new roof installation in Los Angeles requires a city building permit, and we pull that permit for you, schedule the inspection, and make sure the job passes before we call it done. You’ll get the final approval in writing, along with our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Reroofing
Reroofing is the process of installing a new roof over an existing structure, and in Los Angeles it almost always means a full tear-off and replacement rather than layering new shingles over old ones, with costs ranging from $12,000 to $28,000 for most asphalt shingle homes. Tilehurst Roofing Los Angeles has reroofed homes in every Los Angeles neighborhood, from Roof Replacement - Huntington Park to Hermosa Beach, and we’ve seen what happens when the old layer stays: trapped moisture, premature failure, and warranties that aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. We tear off to the decking, inspect what’s underneath, and build the new roof from a clean, dry base.
When Reroofing Beats Repairing
If you’ve had three or more repairs in the last five years, or your shingles are curling, losing granules, or showing bare spots, reroofing is usually the more honest fix. Repairs on a failing roof just move water from one spot to another.
The Tear-Off Day
Our crew protects your landscaping with tarps, hauls the old roofing to a licensed disposal site, and sweeps your yard with a magnetic roller to pick up stray nails. When we leave, your property should look like we were never there, except for the new roof.
Flat Roof Replacement
Flat Roof Replacement in Los Angeles typically costs $8,000 to $18,000 for single-ply systems like TPO or modified bitumen on a standard 1,000 to 1,500 square foot low-slope roof, and these systems are common on mid-century homes, additions, and garages throughout the city. Tilehurst Roofing Los Angeles installs and maintains all major flat roof systems, and we pay particular attention to drainage and ponding water, which is the number one cause of premature flat roof failure in Los Angeles when winter rains arrive. Our flat roof replacements always include new flashing at the parapet walls and any roof penetrations.
TPO, Modified Bitumen, and Built-Up Systems
TPO single-ply is the most common choice for Los Angeles flat roofs because it reflects heat and keeps cooling costs down. Modified bitumen and built-up roofs offer more durability for roof decks that see foot traffic or rooftop equipment.
Solving Ponding Water
Flat roofs should drain within 48 hours of rain, and if yours doesn’t, the standing water is slowly destroying the membrane. We address slope, add tapered insulation where needed, and install new drains or scuppers so water leaves the roof instead of sitting on it.
Brands We Service
We install and service GAF shingle systems, and our crews are factory-trained on GAF’s Timberline HDZ and Grand Canyon lines. GAF’s Golden Pledge warranty program is available through Tilehurst, which extends workmanship coverage to 25 years and includes the manufacturer standing behind our work.
Atlas shingles are a strong choice for Los Angeles homes, particularly their Pinnacle Pristine line with Scotchgard algae protection, which matters in our coastal microclimates where green and black streaking shows up fast. Tamko’s Heritage line offers a range of color blends that work well with the Spanish-influenced architecture common in neighborhoods from our Roof Replacement in Compton to Beverly Hills. Whether you have GAF, Atlas, Tamko, or any other make, we can help.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Granules in your gutters. When asphalt shingles start shedding granules, they’ve lost their UV protection and are nearing the end of their life. If you see a pile of granules at the base of your downspouts, the shingles are failing.
- Daylight through the attic boards. Go into your attic on a sunny day and look up. If you can see light coming through the roof decking, water can get in through those same gaps.
- Curling or lifting shingles near the eaves. Curling shingles means the roof is aging out, and lifted shingles become wind-caught shingles during the next Santa Ana event. Once shingles start lifting, the underlayment is exposed and the clock is ticking.
- Water stains on ceilings after rain. A water stain, even a small one, means the roofing system has failed somewhere above it, and the leak is traveling before it shows up on your drywall. By the time you see it, the damage may extend well beyond the stain.
- Sagging rooflines. A visible dip or sag in the roofline is a structural issue, not a cosmetic one, and it can indicate water-damaged decking or failed framing. This is a call-a-professional-today situation.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Free roof inspection and written estimate. Greg Holloway or one of our senior inspectors walks your roof, checks the attic, and evaluates decking, flashing, and ventilation. You receive a detailed, line-item written estimate the same day, with the exact scope of work and total price.
- 2
Permit pull and material order. We handle all Los Angeles city permits and schedule the tear-off based on material delivery. You’ll have a confirmed start date and a written schedule before we begin.
- 3
Tear-off and decking inspection. The old roofing comes off, and the crew inspects the decking board by board. Any damaged sections get replaced now, not patched over, so the new roof sits on a clean, solid base.
- 4
Installation day. Underlayment, drip edge, flashing, ventilation, and the finished roofing system go on per manufacturer specifications. Our crew works in uniform, clears the site daily, and keeps you informed of progress.
- 5
Final inspection and your written guarantee. We walk the roof with you, pass the city inspection, and hand you the written guarantee before the crew leaves. That guarantee holds for a full year under our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
How Much Does Roof Replacement Cost in Los Angeles?
A typical roof replacement in Los Angeles costs between $12,000 and $28,000 for asphalt shingle on a 1,500 to 2,200 square foot home, and you can read more about how much Roof Replacement costs across different materials. Smaller homes or garages with flat roofs can run $8,000 to $14,000 for single-ply systems, while larger homes or tile roofs can reach $35,000 to $60,000 or more.

To avoid overpaying, get a written scope of work that spells out what’s included, especially decking replacement, flashing, and disposal fees.

Our written estimate includes an allowance for decking replacement based on our inspection, and if we find something unexpected, you approve a written change order before any additional work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement in Los Angeles
A roof replacement is the complete removal of your existing roofing system down to the decking, followed by the installation of new underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and finished roofing material.

Most asphalt shingle roof replacements in Los Angeles take 3 to 7 days from tear-off to final inspection. Tile roofs and steep-pitch roofs can take 7 to 12 days, and flat roof replacements typically take 2 to 4 days. Weather delays are rare in Los Angeles but can happen during winter rain events.
A roof replacement in Los Angeles typically costs $12,000 to $28,000 for asphalt shingle on a standard single-family home.
