Roofers in North Hills, CA
Roof inspection and repair in North Hills means dealing with a very specific kind of roof: mostly original 1950s and 60s low-slope built-up roofs, wood shake that’s been baking in Valley heat for six decades, and flat sections over garages and additions that pond water every winter. The sun out here routinely pushes roof surfaces past 150°F, and Santa Ana winds drive embers into eaves in ways coastal Los Angeles never sees. Hollywood Roofing Co has served North Hills since 2016. If you need a straight answer about what’s happening on your roof, call (833) 589-7971.
Why North Hills Homes Are Different
Most North Hills homes were built between 1950 and 1965, and many still carry their original roofing systems. The typical house is a single-story ranch tract home with a low-slope built-up or modified-bitumen roof, often with an attached garage or later addition that added flat sections needing patching and reflective coatings. What we find on original 1960s built-up roofs here is distinct: zero attic ventilation. The plywood decking underneath gets delaminated, the underlayment bakes out and turns brittle, and none of it is visible from the ground. That kind of hidden deterioration is rare on coastal jobs and common in North Hills.
North Hills sits inside the very-high fire hazard severity zone. Wood shake roofs and exposed eaves face some of the strictest brush and ember rules in the city. That changes the repair conversation: a simple patch on a wood roof may not satisfy current fire code, and homeowners often need to think about full replacement or at minimum substantial retrofit work. We factor that into every recommendation so you’re not surprised later by a permit issue or an inspector’s note.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main North Hills Services
Two services dominate the phones in North Hills: urgent repairs after wind and rain events, and full replacements on homes where the original roof has finally reached the end of its life. Here’s what each involves in this part of the Valley.
Roof Repair in North Hills
Repair work in North Hills typically falls into three buckets: flashing failures around chimneys and vents, ponding water on low-slope and flat sections, and wind damage from Santa Ana events. The heat here accelerates membrane aging, so a roof that looked fine two years ago can suddenly split along a seam after a hot, dry stretch. We inspect the whole roof, not just the obvious leak point, because North Hills roofs often have multiple vulnerable areas developing at once. If you need targeted repair work, see our Roof Repair in North Hills page for specifics, including pricing and response times.
Roof Replacement in North Hills
When a North Hills home needs a new roof, the material decision matters more here than it does in milder parts of the county. Heat, UV exposure, and fire-zone requirements narrow the field. A full replacement on a 1960s ranch often means adding attic ventilation for the first time, replacing baked-out decking, and choosing a material that will hold up under 150°F surface temperatures. We install across seven major brands, so the recommendation is matched to your home and your budget rather than to whatever one supplier stocks. Details on pricing and timelines live on our Roof Replacement in North Hills page.

Roof Inspection in North Hills
In North Hills, a roof inspection is less about finding a leak and more about finding what the heat and Santa Ana winds have already started. Original 1960s built-up roofs often look intact from the street while the plywood underneath is delaminating and the underlayment has turned to dust. Because North Hills sits in a very-high fire hazard severity zone, we also check wood shake and exposed eaves against current fire code, which is stricter than most homeowners realize. That’s why we offer Roof Inspection as a standalone service here – a real condition report you can act on at your own pace, not a disguised sales appointment.
Hail Damage Roof
Signs you need it
After a hailstorm, look for small dents or circular cracks on shingles, granules collecting in gutters, and soft spots that feel spongy underfoot.
What it costs in North Hills
A hail damage assessment in North Hills typically runs $180 to $340 depending on roof size and access.
How we do it
We walk the entire roof, document every impact point with photos, test shingle adhesion, and produce a written report with a repair or replacement recommendation and a fixed price.
Roof Estimate
Signs you need it
You need a roof estimate when you’re weighing repair versus replacement, when a home inspection flagged roofing issues, or when you’re budgeting for a sale or purchase in North Hills.

How we do it

Will the inspection tell me if I need a full replacement?

Prices in North Hills push toward the upper end of these ranges when we’re working on original 1960s built-up roofs with no attic ventilation, because the decking and underlayment are often compromised and need replacement as part of the job. Fire-zone compliance work on wood shake or exposed eaves adds scope as well. You always get a fixed price in writing before work starts, and that price does not change unless you change the scope.

What North Hills Customers Say
"Leak over the kitchen turned out to be a cracked boot around a vent pipe, not the roof itself. He showed me the photo from up there and replaced the boot for a couple hundred dollars. The company before him had quoted a full tear off."
— Scott Kowalski"Storm took part of the ridge off at night. They tarped it the same evening so the rain didn't get in, and did the real repair the following week."
— Kurt Norris"Valley had been done without proper underlayment and was leaking. Redone correctly, and he explained exactly what had been wrong so I could understand it."
— Jessica Tran
