Asphalt shingles are one of the most common roofing materials in Los Angeles homes, valued for their affordability and versatility. Over time, intense sun, heat cycles, wind, and occasional rain can cause curling, cracking, granule loss, or lifting, leading to leaks and reduced protection.
When damage is widespread or the shingles have reached the end of their lifespan, full shingle replacement restores reliability and refreshes your home’s appearance. We serve residential properties in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Long Beach, Torrance, Anaheim, and all surrounding communities within a 50-mile radius.
Our shingle replacement services focus exclusively on residential homes—single-family houses, townhomes, and condominiums. We use high-quality asphalt shingles suited to local conditions and install them with precision for lasting performance and beauty.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does my shingle roof actually need full replacement instead of repairs?
Great question! If you’re seeing widespread curling, cracking, bald spots from granule loss, multiple leaks, or your roof is over 20–25 years old, replacement is usually the smarter long-term choice. We’ll give you an honest assessment during our visit—no pressure either way!
How long does shingle replacement take on a typical Los Angeles home?
Most single-story or two-story homes are completed in 3 to 5 days, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs might take a bit longer, but we work efficiently as a coordinated team and keep you updated daily so you always know what to expect.
Will the work be very disruptive or leave a big mess?
We completely understand that concern! There will be some noise during tear-off and installation, but we work normal daytime hours and use heavy tarps, plywood shields, and daily cleanup to protect your property. At the end, we do magnetic sweeps for nails and leave your yard cleaner than we found it—many customers tell us how impressed they are!
What types of asphalt shingles do you recommend for our climate?
Architectural (dimensional) shingles are by far the most popular here—they’re thicker, offer better wind resistance, and give a richer look that complements local styles. We also carry impact-resistant and cool-roof rated options that reflect more heat. We’ll bring samples so you can see and feel the differences in person!
Can new shingles help reduce my cooling costs?
Yes, many of today’s shingles are designed with solar-reflective granules that bounce back more sunlight, keeping your attic cooler and easing the load on your AC. Homeowners often notice a difference, especially with lighter colors or certified cool-roof products—we’re happy to show you the options that qualify for potential energy rebates too.
What warranties come with shingle replacement?
You’ll receive a strong manufacturer warranty (typically 30 years to lifetime, depending on the shingle) plus our workmanship warranty that covers the installation. We’ll explain everything clearly and register the warranty for you so it’s fully activated.
Do you handle permits if they’re required?
Absolutely—we take care of all permitting with the local building department in Los Angeles and surrounding cities. It’s one less thing for you to worry about!
Do you serve homes outside central Los Angeles?
We’d be happy to! We provide shingle replacement for residential homes throughout the greater Los Angeles area and within 50 miles, including Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Long Beach, Torrance, Anaheim, and every wonderful community in between.
