Why it matters here

LA roofs die of sun and neglect, not snow.

Southern California roofs take months of hard UV, then Santa Ana winds, then the first real rain in late fall — usually the day a small problem announces itself. Shingles dry out and crack, sealant at pipes and vents gives up, tile underlayment ages unseen, and flat-roof seams open a little each summer.

An annual or twice-yearly look, timed before the rainy season, catches those while they are a small repair. Every visit is photographed by drone, so you can see the roof change over time and never take our word for it.

Straight answers

Maintenance questions we get every week.

How often should a roof in Los Angeles be inspected?

Once a year is a sensible baseline, timed before the rainy season, plus a look after any major wind event. Flat and low-slope roofs benefit from twice a year, because seams and drains are where they fail. Annual and twice-yearly plans are available.

Is the inspection really free?

Yes. A free, roughly two-hour on-site inspection with drone photos, and a written report of what we found. No obligation. If nothing needs doing, the report says so.

What is in the written report?

The drone and on-roof photos, the condition of the shingles or tile, flashing, penetrations, valleys, gutters and drains, anything that needs attention now, anything to watch, and written itemized pricing for any repair we recommend.

Do you do pre-sale or pre-purchase roof inspections?

Yes. Buyers and sellers get the same drone-documented report and honest repair-vs-replace answer, in writing, which is often exactly what an escrow needs.

California Title 24: what the cool-roof rule means for your project

California's Title 24, Part 6 energy code applies by climate zone and roof slope, and it is triggered when you replace 50% or more of a roof (or about 1,000 sq ft). On flat and low-slope roofs, a CRRC-rated cool-roof product (aged solar reflectance ≥ 0.63, thermal emittance ≥ 0.75 — roughly SRI 75) is required in nearly every Southern California zone. On steep-slope (pitched) residential roofs, most of the LA basin, coast, and San Fernando Valley (Climate Zones 6, 8 and 9) is exempt — standard shingle or tile complies — while hot inland and desert zones (10–15, e.g. Santa Clarita, Lancaster, Palmdale) require a cool-roof product on every slope (about SRI 16). Cool-roof products come in many colors, not just white. Small like-for-like repairs generally don't trigger the rule, and trade-offs like added attic insulation can substitute in some cases.

Every city page on this site states the verified climate zone and fire-zone rules for that area. Codes are parcel-specific — confirm with your building department, or call us at (866) 685-3889 and we'll confirm it for you.
