Fast, Reliable Roof Repair Across Los Angeles
Roof repair in Los Angeles runs $350 – $900 for most targeted fixes like flashing rebuilds, leak patches, and vent boot replacements, while larger membrane sections on flat roofs run $1,200 – $3,400. We’re Hollywood Roofing Co, and we work these roofs every week, from the bungalows of West Adams to the hillside homes above Silver Lake. Call (833) 589-7971 for a straight answer on what your roof actually needs.
Most Los Angeles roofs are not the pitched shingle assemblies you see in other cities. The city’s older core is built on low-slope and flat systems, and that changes what repair means here. We know which neighborhoods have 1920s tar-and-gravel, which have 1960s capsheet, and which hillside areas fall under stricter wildfire codes. That local knowledge changes the diagnosis and the price.
Why Hollywood Roofing Co Is Los Angeles’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
We repair roofs across the city the same way we inspect them: honestly, with no push toward a replacement unless the roof actually needs one. Our Roof Repair team works from the 90036 corridor through 90039 and down into South LA, where flat-roof work dominates the call log. Homeowners in Koreatown, Echo Park, and Silver Lake call us because the first answer they get is whether a patch will hold for five years or fifteen.
Roland Vega leads our repair crews, and he’s the one walking your roof before we quote. That matters in Los Angeles, where two houses on the same block can have completely different roof systems: a 1925 courtyard apartment with a built-up tar roof next to a 1998 stucco duplex with a modified bitumen capsheet. We scope the material, the slope, the drainage, and the exposure before naming a number.
We service all seven major roofing brands, so when a repair calls for matching existing GAF shingles or patching an Owens Corning system, we’re not improvising with whatever the supplier had on the truck. We stock common repair materials for Los Angeles housing stock and order brand-matched components when the existing roof demands it.

Metal Roof Repair in Los Angeles
Metal roof repair in Los Angeles typically runs $450 – $1,100 for seam resealing, panel replacement, and fastener repair on standing seam or corrugated systems, with larger sections or custom-fabricated panels pushing toward $2,000 depending on gauge and profile. Most metal roofs in Los Angeles are on hillside homes and some mid-century commercial buildings, and the primary failure points here are thermal movement, failed fasteners with dried-out washers, and seam separation from years of sun-baked expansion cycling.
Standing Seam Resealing
Standing seam roofs on hillside homes above Echo Park and Silver Lake take intense afternoon sun, which expands and contracts the panels daily. Over a decade, that movement works seam sealant loose, and the first winter storm finds the gap. We clean the seam, re-apply a UV-stable sealant, and mechanically refasten any loose clips.
Fastener and Flashing Repair
Corrugated metal roofs fail most often at the fasteners, where rubber washers crack under UV and let moisture wick into the deck. We replace the failing fasteners with same-gauge screws and new EPDM washers, then address any flashing deterioration at ridges, valleys, and penetrations. On Los Angeles hillside homes, we also check for wind-lift damage after Santa Ana events, which loosen exposed panel edges.
Commercial Roof Repair in Los Angeles
Commercial roof repair in Los Angeles spans $800 – $2,500 for targeted membrane patches and flashing rebuilds on small to mid-size buildings, with full re-coating or section replacement of larger low-slope roofs running $3,000 – $8,000 depending on square footage and system type. The commercial stock in Central LA and Koreatown is heavy on built-up tar-and-gravel and modified bitumen over wood or steel decks from the mid-century building boom.
Low-Slope Membrane Repairs
Most commercial repair calls in Los Angeles are for water ingress through aged capsheet or cracked built-up surfaces. We identify the true entry point, which is rarely where the stain shows on the ceiling, then cut and patch the membrane section, re-fuse the seams, and re-coat the surrounding area.
Drainage and Ponding Corrections
Flat commercial roofs in older Los Angeles neighborhoods collect water when rooftop drains clog or settle out of pitch, and that ponding accelerates membrane failure. We clear the drains, rebuild any failed scupper flashing, and regrade or add tapered insulation where low spots consistently hold water.
Trusted Brands We Service in Los Angeles
We repair and match materials from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas, among the seven brands we install. That matters on a repair in Los Angeles, where working with a single-brand supplier often means the best fix is off the table. We stock local inventory for common repair scenarios and order brand-specific components when your existing roof calls for them, which keeps turnaround tight and the repair matched to the system you already paid for.

AfterCommon Roof Repair Problems We See in Los Angeles Homes
- Ponding on flat tar-and-gravel roofs in the 90036 and 90037 bungalow core. Decades of debris clog the original 1930s-era scupper drains, and water sits until it finds the seam. We clear the drain, patch the seam, and re-coat the area so the next winter storm drains as it should.
- Dried-out capsheet peeling during Santa Ana wind events. Low-slope bungalows across South LA and Central LA hold capsheet roofs that bake for eight months a year, then peel back when the dry wind hits. The repair is section replacement, not a patch, and we scope the full lift before quoting.
- Sun-cracked flashing on low-pitch roofs. Los Angeles gets more asphalt-cracking UV exposure than most of the country, and flashing is the first to fail. We replace rusted or cracked flashing at parapets, chimneys, and penetrations with materials matched to the system.
- Leaks through degraded vent boots and pipe collars. The rubber collars around plumbing vents shrink and crack under constant sun, and the first concentrated winter storm pushes water straight through. This is a $250 – $500 fix that prevents thousands in deck and drywall damage.

FAQs About Roof Repair in Los Angeles
Because the 1910s-to-1930s housing stock across South LA, Central LA, and Pico-Union was built with low-slope and flat roofs, and those original tar-and-gravel systems are still on thousands of homes and small apartment buildings. Repair on those roofs means membrane patching, scupper clearing, flashing rebuilds, and re-coating, not teardown-and-reshingle. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll tell you which system you have and what it needs.
Water pooling on a flat roof in Los Angeles is almost always a clogged scupper or roof drain, and on 1920s and 1930s buildings those drains have had decades to fill with debris. It becomes an emergency when the water sits long enough to open a seam, because the leak shows up inside before you see it on the roof. If you have standing water after a storm, call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll clear it and patch the seam before it spreads.
Homes in designated wildland-urban-interface zones, mostly in the hillside and foothill neighborhoods, must meet California Chapter 7A ignition-resistant construction standards when the roof is replaced. But even a repair should use materials that don’t undercut those standards, and we can tell you during the inspection whether your home falls in a Chapter 7A zone. Call (833) 589-7971 for a straight answer.
Compare them by scope, not by line items that sound similar. Ask whether the quote includes scupper replacement, whether flashing rebuilds cover the parapet and penetrations, whether the membrane section is cut back to clean material, and whether they’re matching brands or using generic patch material. We give you a written scope with the materials named, so you can compare against any other bid on equal footing. Call (833) 589-7971 with another bid in hand and we’ll tell you what they’re leaving out.
We repair and match all seven major roofing brands: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That breadth means a repair on a CertainTeed shingle roof gets CertainTeed-matched materials, not a close-enough substitute, and a flat roof with an Owens Corning membrane gets the same treatment. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll identify your existing system before quoting.
