Local roofing codes

Roofing codes & requirements in Van Nuys

Energy / cool roof (Title 24)

Van Nuys 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

Van Nuys sits on the flat San Fernando Valley floor and generally isn't in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, so a standard Class A roof is typical without the extra Chapter 7A hardening. Always confirm your specific parcel. You can check any parcel on the CAL FIRE hazard-zone viewer.

Decking / sheathing

Many older Van Nuys homes were built with spaced 1×6 “skip” sheathing under the original roof. For a modern shingle or tile system — and for 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, not a guess.

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.

Van Nuys roofing FAQ

Common Van Nuys roofing-code questions

Does my Van Nuys roof need to be Title 24 cool-roof compliant?

Only on flat or low-slope sections. Van Nuys is in Climate Zone 9, so Title 24 requires a cool roof (about SRI 75) when you replace 50%+ of a low-slope roof, but steep-slope shingle and tile roofs are exempt here.

Is Van Nuys in a fire zone that requires a Class A roof?

Usually no — most of Van Nuys isn't in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, so a standard Class A roof is typical. Confirm your parcel on the CAL FIRE viewer.

Will my old spaced sheathing need to be re-decked?

Sometimes. Older Van Nuys homes often have spaced 1×6 sheathing; a modern shingle or tile system (and a Class A assembly) may need solid sheathing over it. A deck inspection at tear-off tells us for sure.

Financing

Financing available for qualified Van Nuys 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 Van Nuys re-roof that needs one may also qualify for PACE-style energy financing — ask us and we'll confirm what applies to your property.
