Styles & brands we work with
Roofing Contractor in Sun Valley
A roofing contractor in Sun Valley handles the full scope: tear-off, decking inspection, underlayment, flashing, shingles or tile, ridge cap, and cleanup. When your Sun Valley home needs more than a patch, this is the service that gets the roof back to code. Most full reroofs on Sun Valley ranch homes run $9,500 to $18,500 depending on roof size, material choice, and whether decking replacement is required.
What We Do Before Any Shingle Comes Off
We inspect first. On older Sun Valley ranch homes, the roof you see isn’t the whole story. What’s underneath matters more. Our crew checks for dry rot, cracked skip sheathing, failed underlayment, and valley flashing that’s been baking in valley heat for decades. Then we put the findings in writing before any tear-off starts.
Decking and Underlayment, Explained
Decking is the wood layer beneath your shingles, the roof’s structural skin. Underlayment is the water-resistant barrier that sits on top of the decking and under the shingles. On a 1960s Sun Valley home, both can be shot. We inspect both, and if replacement is needed, you’ll know the cost before we begin, never as a surprise change order.
Roof Inspection in Sun Valley
A roof inspection in Sun Valley is the smartest first step for any homeowner who hasn’t looked at their roof in a decade. It’s a methodical 20-point check of shingles, flashing, valleys, decking, ventilation, and drainage. In Sun Valley, inspections run $250 to $450, and if we find a repair you choose to do with us, the inspection fee is credited back toward the work.
What We’re Looking For on Sun Valley Roofs
We’re looking for sun damage. Asphalt shingles in Sun Valley don’t wear out, they cook. Cracked, curled, and brittle shingles are the telltale signs of years of exposure. We also check for lifted flashing around chimneys and vents, granule loss in gutters, and the early signs of decking failure hiding below.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Schedule one before you sell. Before winter rains arrive. After any wind event. And definitely if you see daylight in the attic or water staining on ceilings. An inspection gives you a written report of what’s needed now, what can wait, and what it’ll cost in real Sun Valley numbers.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sun Valley
We install and service shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That’s seven major manufacturers, so the product fits the home, not whatever happens to be on the truck. For a 60-year-old Sun Valley ranch, we often recommend CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles for their heat resistance and 50-year rating. For homeowners who want maximum sun reflectivity, GAF’s cool-roof lines cut cooling costs meaningfully in Sun Valley’s relentless summer heat. We keep regional stock available for fast turnaround, and we service what we install under the written guarantee, not a vague promise to “take a look.”

AfterCommon Roofing Company Problems We See in Sun Valley Homes
Sun Valley’s housing stock has a specific profile: single-story ranch homes from the 1950s through 1970s, mostly original or second-layer composition shingle over skip sheathing. Then there are the commercial buildings with flat or low-slope roofs. This mix creates real, recurring problems.
- Rotted skip sheathing under original shingles. Skip sheathing used spaced boards, not solid plywood, and after six decades of Sun Valley heat, the gaps collect moisture and dry rot follows. Pulling those shingles often reveals wood that fails inspection outright.
- No ice and water shield at valleys. Older Sun Valley roofs typically lack modern membrane protection where roof planes meet. When winter rains arrive, water finds those valleys. The leak wasn’t “rare weather,” it was a missing layer that should’ve been there all along.
- Brittle flashing and popped fasteners. Flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents expands and contracts in the heat. Over decades, the metal lifts, nails back out, and water follows.
- Inadequate attic ventilation. Most original Sun Valley ranch homes have gable vents but no ridge vent. That trapped heat cooks the underside of the roof deck and shortens shingle life by years. Code-triggered reroofs often require adding ventilation.

FAQs About Roofing Company in Sun Valley
Because most of those homes were built in the 1950s through 1970s with skip sheathing, not solid plywood, and six decades of Sun Valley heat and occasional leaks have rotted the boards. Current Los Angeles County code requires solid decking, so once the old shingles come off, the inspector will flag any failed sheathing. We include a decking allowance in every written estimate, and if replacement is needed, you’ll approve the exact cost before we proceed. Call (213) 674-2890 for a free inspection that shows you exactly what’s under your shingles.
Yes, at valleys and penetrations, because Sun Valley winter rains don’t need to freeze to find the gaps. Ice and water shield is a peel-and-stick membrane that seals around nails and prevents leaks at the roof’s most vulnerable points. Older local roofs almost never have it, and our crews replace it as standard on every Sun Valley reroof. It’s not a snow thing, it’s a water thing. Call (213) 674-2890 if you want an inspection that checks what’s there now.
They hold up very well, because they reflect more solar energy and keep the attic cooler, which slows the heat-aging process that kills standard shingles. GAF and CertainTeed both make cool-roof rated architectural shingles that meet California Title 24 requirements. On an older Sun Valley ranch, the main consideration is whether the roof deck and ventilation are sound enough to support the upgrade. We inspect first and tell you straight. Call (213) 674-2890 for a written estimate.
One square equals 100 square feet, and it’s the standard unit for measuring roofing material. A 1,500 square foot Sun Valley ranch has roughly 15 to 17 squares of roof area once you account for roof pitch and overhangs. We think in squares for material ordering, but your written quote always shows the actual square footage we measured. If a quote feels off, we’ll walk the roof with you and show you the measurements. Call (213) 674-2890 for a no-pressure free estimate.
Yes, re-roofing in Sun Valley requires a permit through Los Angeles County, and the inspector may require code upgrades before signing off. The main trigger is decking: if the old sheathing is rotted or non-compliant, you’ll need to replace it, and that’s the most common extra work on our Sun Valley jobs. Other triggers can include adding ventilation or bringing the roof up to current fire rating standards. We handle the permit, schedule the inspection, and any required upgrade is priced and approved by you in writing before we proceed. Call (213) 674-2890 to talk through your specific roof.
