Bel Air roofing,
done the careful way.

Bel Air roofs sit high, span wide, and rarely get a second look from the street. You see them from the air, and that's how we inspect them.

What Bel Air roofs are up against.

Hillside microclimates, strong canyon winds, and temperature inversions. Wildfire risk along the western edge.

What's on the roofs here: concrete and clay tile on the estates. Custom metal on the contemporary architecture. Built-up and modified bitumen on the flat decks.

What we get called for most in Bel Air: access and crane logistics on narrow canyon roads. Tile re-bedding on roofs older than 30 years. Sealing roof-to-wall transitions on additions and remodels.

Every stage gets photographed by drone, so you see the deck before it's covered. That's how we work on every roof.

Bel Air rules that affect your roof

Title 24, fire zones, and old decking: what applies to your house.

We check what applies to your parcel before we quote, and we confirm it with the permitting authority for you.

Energy / cool roof (Title 24)

Bel Air sits in California Energy Commission Climate Zone 9. Under Title 24, Part 6, a low-slope or flat roof here must use a cool-roof product (aged solar reflectance of at least 0.63 and thermal emittance of at least 0.75, roughly SRI 75) when you replace 50% or more of the roof or about 1,000 sq ft or more. Steep-slope (pitched) residential roofs in Climate Zone 9 are exempt from the cool-roof requirement, so standard shingle or tile is fine. Small like-for-like repairs generally don't trigger it. See the California Energy Commission standards and the CRRC directory for rated products.

Fire — Class A required (most parcels)

Most of Bel Air sits in the Santa Monica Mountains and is in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (CAL FIRE's 2025 maps), so the City of LA building code requires a Class A roof assembly, ember-resistant vents and detailing, and prohibits wood-shake roofs. Confirm your specific parcel. You can check any parcel on the CAL FIRE hazard-zone viewer.

Decking / sheathing

Many older Bel Air homes were built with spaced 1×6 “skip” sheathing under the original roof. For a modern shingle or tile system, or a Class A assembly, that decking often has to be overlaid with solid sheathing, and any rotted boards replaced. We confirm exactly what your roof needs with a deck inspection at tear-off.

Color & materials

Roof color isn't regulated by code. Where a cool roof is required you need a CRRC-rated product that meets the SRI, and those come in a wide range of colors, not just white.

Financing

Financing available for qualified Bel Air 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. If your re-roof needs a Title 24 cool-roof product, it may also qualify for PACE-style energy financing. Ask us and we'll confirm what applies to your property.
