If you’re staring at curling shingles, granule loss in your gutters, or a ceiling stain that reappears after every winter rain, call us at (833) 589-7971 for a straight answer.
We work throughout 92509, from the older streets near Mission Boulevard down to the newer tracts closer to the Santa Ana River. We know what these roofs look like once they’re opened up, because we’ve opened hundreds of them. That local familiarity means our quotes account for what we’ll actually find, not just what a satellite photo shows. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll come out, walk the roof with you, and give you a written line-item estimate you can hold us to.
Why Hollywood Roofing Co Is Glen Avon’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We’re not a franchise operation that flies in for the season. We’re a California roofing company led by Roland Vega, and we’ve spent years working on the exact housing stock that dominates Glen Avon: ranch homes and split-levels built between the 1950s and 1980s, with the framing quirks and flashing patterns that era produced.
Homeowners here tend to ask the same three questions before signing: will the price change once the old roof comes off, who handles the permit, and how long will this actually take. We answer all three in writing before we start. Our quotes include a line item for permit fees and a contingency allowance for decking repair, so you’re not hit with an “unexpected discovery” change order after we expose the sheathing. Roland Vega’s name is on every contract we write, and he’s reachable by phone throughout the job. That’s the kind of accountability a major purchase deserves.
Our Roof Replacement team works with seven major material brands, which means the recommendation you get is matched to your home’s exposure, your budget, and your long-term plans, not to whatever single brand a supplier happens to stock. If your west-facing slope gets hammered by Santa Anas, we’ll tell you which shingle holds up and which one you’d be replacing again in eight years.
Styles & brands we work with






Reroofing in Glen Avon
Reroofing in Glen Avon means tearing off the existing shingle or tile layer down to the decking, repairing or replacing any compromised wood, installing new underlayment and flashing, and laying a new roof surface that meets current Riverside County building codes. Most Glen Avon homeowners choose a full tear-off reroof rather than a nail-over, because homes built from the 1950s to 1980s rarely have decking that’s still worth nailing into. A typical reroof here runs $11,500 to $22,000 for asphalt shingles, with architectural shingles on the higher end.
What We Find Under the Old Roof
Older Glen Avon roofs hide problems the moment the shingles are pulled back. Cracked decking. Rusted flashing at the plumbing vents. Fascia boards that crumble when you touch them. We photograph everything and walk you through it before any new material goes down. Every repair is priced and approved in writing first.
Code Upgrades That Come With a Reroof
Riverside County’s current building code requires shear nailing at the roof-to-wall connection once decking is exposed, along with upgraded drip edge and proper attic ventilation. Many pre-1980s Glen Avon homes were built before these standards existed. If your roof needs those upgrades to pass inspection, they’re included in our quote from day one, not tacked on after the city inspector shows up.
Flat Roof Replacement in Glen Avon
Flat roof replacement in Glen Avon is a different animal from a pitched shingle roof, and it demands different materials and a different crew skill set. Many of the original flat and low-slope roofs in 92509 were built with torch-down or built-up systems that have been baking under the inland sun for decades. When the surface finally fails, it typically fails at the seams and around penetrations first. Flat roof replacement here runs $12,000 to $24,000 depending on square footage and whether the underlying insulation board has been water-damaged.
Sun and Heat Performance
Glen Avon’s semi-arid climate means a flat roof sits under relentless UV for six months a year. We recommend reflective cap sheets or PVC membranes on low-slope roofs to cut surface temperatures and extend service life. The material cost difference is modest; the performance difference over a 20-year lifespan is significant.
Drains and Ponding Water
A flat roof in Glen Avon has to shed water fast when winter storms arrive. If your existing roof ponds after rain, the replacement plan needs to address slope and drainage, not just swap out the surface. We evaluate drain placement, scupper condition, and whether tapered insulation is the right fix. Flat roofs are particularly dangerous to walk on during repairs, and a torn or cracked membrane is often bigger than it looks from the ground. We always recommend a trained professional assess the full picture.
Trusted Brands We Service in Glen Avon
We install across a full material spectrum so the right product exists for your budget and your home’s exposure. For Glen Avon’s hot, windy conditions, GAF architectural shingles and CertainTeed lines are popular choices on pitched roofs, while Tamko offers a strong value tier for budget-conscious reroofs. Boral tile comes up often when homeowners want to match an existing tile profile on the front of the house. We stock and source materials locally, which means no long waits for specialty colors or profiles, and we’ll walk you through the differences honestly before you commit.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Glen Avon Homes
- Wind-lifted shingles on west-facing slopes. After a Santa Ana event, our crews in Glen Avon and Glen Avon neighborhoods near the open foothills routinely find shingles peeled back at the rake edge. Once the seal strip breaks, the next wind event drives rain underneath and rots the fascia and soffit from the inside out.
- Missing ice and water shield in valleys. Many homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s never had self-adhered underlayment installed in valleys or around penetrations. When the original felt fails, leaks appear at the flashing points first, even when the shingles above still look passable.
- Brittle, sun-baked shingles that crack under foot traffic. South- and west-facing slopes in Glen Avon absorb the worst of the inland UV. Shingles that look fine on the north side may snap like glass when our crew walks the south slope, which is why we never quote a replacement from the ground.
- Undersized or deteriorated decking. Pre-1980s Glen Avon homes often have 3/8-inch plywood or spaced-board decking that no longer meets code for shear strength. Once the old shingles come off, the inspector will require upgrading this before any new roof goes on. Low bidders skip this line item; we don’t.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Glen Avon, CA
A full tear-off and reroof with asphalt shingles in Glen Avon runs $9,800 to $17,500 for a typical 1,200 to 1,800 square-foot ranch home. Architectural shingles on that same footprint land between $12,500 and $22,000. Flat or low-slope roof replacement runs $12,000 to $24,000, with concrete tile reroofs at $18,000 to $30,000 depending on underlayment needs and tile profile. What moves the number most here is decking repair: if the original 1960s plywood is delaminated or rotted, replacement adds $4 to $7 per square foot to the job. Our quotes include a written contingency allowance for exactly that, and we walk you through the math before you commit. Call (833) 589-7971 for a free estimate with real numbers.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Glen Avon
Yes. Riverside County requires a building permit for roof replacement in Glen Avon, and once the old roof is torn off, the inspector will verify that shear nailing, drip edge, and ventilation meet current code. Homes built before the 1980s often need roof-to-wall connection upgrades once the decking is exposed. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and build every code-required upgrade into the quote before work starts so there’s no surprise bill after tear-off. Call (833) 589-7971 to talk through what your specific home will need.
Santa Ana winds hit west- and south-facing slopes hardest, and they exploit any shingle that’s already UV-weakened. For exposed slopes in Glen Avon, we recommend a shingle with a strong seal strip and higher wind warranty rating, typically a GAF or CertainTeed architectural line rated for 110 mph or higher. Value-tier three-tabs simply don’t hold up on those slopes here. Call us and we’ll show you the difference on your actual roof.
A “square” is 100 square feet of roof area, and it’s the unit every roofing contractor prices by. Glen Avon ranch homes often measure 14 to 22 squares of roof surface, but the real number depends on slope and overhang, not just the home’s footprint. When you compare quotes, make sure every bidder is working from the same measured square count. We provide a diagram with our estimates so you can verify the math.
The most common things we uncover on 1960s Glen Avon homes are cracked or delaminated decking, rusted flashing at vents and chimneys, missing ice and water shield in valleys, and roof-to-wall connections that don’t meet current shear requirements. Any of these can change the final price, which is why we include a written contingency allowance and walk you through photos of every issue before approving repairs. No work happens until you’ve signed off in writing. Call (833) 589-7971 to schedule your estimate.
In most cases, yes. If you have concrete tile, we can source a matching or near-matching profile from Boral or a comparable manufacturer. If you have architectural shingles, we can match the color profile closely and show you aged samples so you can see how they’ll actually look on your home. Matching a specific discontinued tile can add lead time, so call us early in the process and we’ll identify what’s available before you make any decisions.
