Local roofing codes

Roofing codes & requirements across the Palos Verdes Peninsula

Energy / cool roof (Title 24)

The Palos Verdes Peninsula is in Climate Zone 6 (coastal). Under Title 24, flat or low-slope roofs need a cool roof (about SRI 75) on a re-roof of 50%+ or 1,000+ sq ft; steep-slope residential roofs are exempt. See the California Energy Commission standards.

Fire (Chapter 7A)

Much of the Peninsula is a Very High Fire Severity Zone, so most parcels require fire-retardant Class A roofing and ember-resistant vents and eaves. Some areas also carry landslide considerations. Confirm your parcel. You can check any parcel on the CAL FIRE hazard-zone viewer.

Decking / sheathing

Many older homes here have spaced 1×6 sheathing; for a modern shingle or tile system — and a Class A assembly — that often needs solid sheathing over it. A deck inspection at tear-off tells us for sure.

Permits & jurisdiction

The Peninsula has four cities — Rancho Palos Verdes, Palos Verdes Estates, Rolling Hills, and Rolling Hills Estates — each with its own building department.

Source: the California Energy Commission, CAL FIRE, and your Palos Verdes city's building department. Roofing codes change and are parcel- and city-specific — confirm with your local building department before your project, or call us at (866) 685-3889 and we'll confirm it for you.

the Palos Verdes Peninsula roofing FAQ

Common the Palos Verdes Peninsula roofing-code questions

Do roofs in Palos Verdes Peninsula need to be Title 24 cool-roof compliant?

On flat or low-slope sections, yes, when you replace 50% or more of the roof. Steep-slope shingle and tile roofs are generally exempt in this area's climate zones (Zone 6/8/9). We confirm the rule for your address.

Is Palos Verdes Peninsula in a fire zone that requires a Class A roof?

It depends on the parcel. Hillside, foothill, and canyon areas are often in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone that requires a Class A assembly and ember-resistant construction; flat areas usually aren't. We check the CAL FIRE map for your address.

Who issues my roofing permit in Palos Verdes Peninsula?

It depends on your city — each city runs its own building department, and unincorporated areas go through the county. We pull the permit through the right jurisdiction for your project.

Financing

Financing available for qualified Palos Verdes homeowners

You don't have to pay for a roof all at once: financing is available for qualified homeowners, subject to qualification — written itemized pricing first, financing second, never any pressure. And because Title 24 cool-roof products are qualifying energy improvements, a Palos Verdes re-roof that needs one may also qualify for PACE-style energy financing — ask us and we'll confirm what applies to your property.
