Santa Monica Roofing Built for the Marine Layer.

If you're replacing more than 50% of a low-slope roof (2:12 pitch or less), yes. Santa Monica enforces California Title 24 Part 6, which requires reflective materials that meet minimum SRI values. In practice that means white or light-gray TPO, PVC, or a reflective coating over torch-down. Steep-slope tile and shingle roofs are exempt from SRI but still need permit.

Because for 30 years contractors installed bare or lightly galvanized steel flashing on Santa Monica homes, and salt air destroyed it. If your roof is 15+ years old and leaking at a valley, chimney, or skylight, it's almost always the flashing — not the field. We rebuild with stainless steel, copper, or 26 ga. marine-grade galvanized as standard.

Yes. We regularly convert failing cedar and wood-shake roofs on North of Montana Craftsmans to architectural composition shingles that match the original silhouette and shadow line — GAF Timberline HDZ or CertainTeed Presidential are the two profiles most homeowners choose. We also fabricate matching copper valleys and gutters for period-correct restoration.

Most Santa Monica flat-roof (TPO or torch-down) re-roofs run $12,000 to $34,000 depending on square footage, insulation upgrade, edge metal, and Title 24 cool-roof upgrade. Multi-family and small commercial apartment buildings on Ocean Park or Wilshire run higher. Every quote is fixed line-item including permit.

Yes. CSLB #1094851, current on Santa Monica Building & Safety re-roof permits (residential, multi-family, and small commercial). We pull the permit, submit the Title 24 compliance form, coordinate all required inspections, and hand you the final signed card.

Same day for emergencies. Our Westside dispatch crew reaches Santa Monica, Venice, Mar Vista, and Playa Vista in under an hour during business hours. Emergency tarping and water-intrusion control is standard first-step before we scope the permanent repair.
