Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Inglewood
Replacing a roof on an Inglewood home is different from most of Los Angeles. The majority of housing stock here dates to the 1940s through 1960s, and those original roofs were built light and dry. They were fine for the climate when they went up. They are not fine now. We know because we tear them off every week. You’ll find our crews working the 90303 and 90304 flats near SoFi Stadium, up through the 90301 streets around Inglewood High, and across the 90305 tract homes that spread toward Centinela. We are familiar with what opens up once the old shingles come off, and we price for it honestly before a single nail goes down. Call (833) 589-7971 for a free estimate on your Roof Replacement and we’ll walk the roof with you before you commit to anything.
Why Hollywood Roofing Co Is Inglewood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Inglewood homeowners call us because we treat an older roof with the respect it deserves. A 1955 hip-roof on a 90303 street is not the same job as a new build near the stadium corridor. The framing is different, the decking is often original skip sheathing, and the flashing has been exposed to sixty-plus years of Santa Ana wind and LAX flight-path vibration. Our team, led by Roland Vega, has spent years working Inglewood roofs, and we have learned to inspect first and promise second.
We are brand-agnostic across seven major roofing manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and more. That means we do not push a shingle because we get a better margin on it. We match material to the home and to the budget. When a homeowner near Darby Park wants architectural shingles that will hold up under direct sun and wind, we show them options from GAF and CertainTeed. When a landlord on a 1958 duplex needs a serviceable re-roof that keeps costs down, IKO or Tamko often fits better. Seven leading brands. One honest recommendation.
We also offer roof inspection as a standalone service. Not a salesman in a hard hat trying to manufacture urgency. A real condition report you can read and act on at your own pace. That is how we have built our reputation in Inglewood and across the South Bay.
Styles & brands we work with






Roof Installation in Inglewood
Roof installation in Inglewood usually means one of two things: a full tear-off and replacement on an existing mid-century home, or a new roof on an addition or ADU. Both require permits, and both move slower than people expect when the house predates 1970. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and carry the job from the first tear-off to the final walkthrough. No handoff. No finger-pointing between sub-contractors. The same crew from Roof Replacement in Inglewood that tears off the old roof installs the new one.
Full Tear-Off and Replacement
On most Inglewood homes, the old roof has to come all the way off. The original 3-tab or wood shake was engineered for a drier, cooler climate than what the city now experiences. Once we expose the decking, we can see what actually needs repair. That is the job.
New Construction and ADU Roofs
Inglewood’s accessory dwelling unit boom, especially within walking distance of the stadium and the Crenshaw line, has created steady demand for new roof installation. We work with homeowners and general contractors to install code-compliant roofing on new builds, with material selections matched to the structure and the design.
Roof Replacement Contractor in Inglewood
A roof replacement contractor in Inglewood has to understand something most contractors from outside the city learn the hard way: what looks like a clean re-roof often is not. In the 90303 and 90304 flats, tear-offs routinely expose 1950s cedar shake that was coated with asphalt for decades. The coating welds the shakes together, hides rotted skip sheathing, and turns a planned one-day tear-off into a hand-scraped decking job. We handle it because we price for it up front and inspect before we quote. Roland Vega has walked enough of these roofs to know what to look for.
Asphalt and Architectural Shingles
Asphalt shingles remain the most common choice in Inglewood because they perform well under UV and wind at a price most homeowners can absorb. Architectural shingles cost more than 3-tab but last longer and look better on the low-pitch gable and hip roofs that dominate the city’s tract neighborhoods. We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Atlas product lines.
Decking Repair and Replacement
Once the old roof comes off, the decking is the first thing we inspect. On mid-century Inglewood homes, skip sheathing with split or softened boards is common. We replace rotted sections, re-nail loose boards, and confirm the decking is solid before any underlayment goes down. If the decking needs more work than the contract assumed, you get a written price before we proceed. No surprises.
Trusted Brands We Service in Inglewood
We are authorized to install across seven leading roofing brands, so Inglewood homeowners choose based on performance and budget rather than what a single supplier stocks. GAF in Inglewood and CertainTeed offer premium architectural shingles that hold up well under the city’s UV load and Santa Ana wind. Owens Corning provides a strong mid-range option with solid warranty coverage. For tighter budgets, IKO and Tamko still deliver a dependable roof at a lower price point. We carry local stock for Inglewood jobs and can turn around material orders quickly. If your roofer only offers one brand, ask yourself who that recommendation truly serves.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Inglewood Homes
- Asphalt-coated cedar shake. In the 90303 and 90304 flats near SoFi Stadium, we regularly pull original 1950s cedar shake that someone “maintained” by troweling on layers of asphalt coating. It hides rotted sheathing, it is a fire risk, and city inspectors now flag it during pre-sale and renovation permits. Tear-off scope jumps once decking is exposed.
- Failing underlayment and flashing on 1940s – 1960s tract homes. Those original roofs were built light. Under modern Santa Ana UV and the occasional heavy winter storm, the underlayment breaks down and the flashing fails at penetrations, valleys, and chimneys first. By the time you see a stain inside, the roof has been leaking for a while.
- LAX flight-path vibration. Homes under the arrival and departure corridors deal with constant low-frequency vibration that works old fasteners loose over decades. A re-roof over existing shingles can mask that problem. A full tear-off with new fasteners and a proper nailing pattern fixes it.
- Skip sheathing that has gone soft. Original skip sheathing was never meant to carry modern shingle loads for sixty years. Once we expose it, we often find split boards and rusted-through fasteners. Replacing rotted sections before laying underlayment is the difference between a roof that lasts 25 years and one that fails in five.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Inglewood, CA
A full tear-off and re-roof on a typical 1,200 – 1,600 square foot Inglewood tract home runs $14,000 – $22,000 for architectural asphalt shingles. Smaller homes or simple gable roofs can come in closer to $11,000 – $14,000. If you are dealing with asphalt-coated cedar shake, expect the tear-off to add $2,500 – $5,000 because the shakes have to be scraped off by hand. Decking repair or replacement adds $3 – $6 per square foot of affected area, and we price it in writing before we start. Roof installation on a new ADU or addition runs $18,000 – $30,000 depending on size and material. The free estimate we give you is line-itemed, and we stand behind it.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Inglewood
Because the original roof often hides problems you cannot see until it comes off. Asphalt-coated cedar shake, rotted skip sheathing, and failed flashing are common. Contractors who do not inspect first will quote low and then hit you with change orders once the decking is exposed. We inspect the roof before we quote, and we write allowances into the contract for decking repair and sheathing replacement so the price you agree to is the price you pay. Call (833) 589-7971 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
In the 90303 and 90304 flats, many original 1950s homes still have cedar shake roofs that were coated with asphalt for decades as a cheap “fix.” The coating welds the shakes together, hides rot underneath, and creates a fire hazard. City inspectors now flag these roofs during pre-sale permits and stadium-adjacent renovations. Tearing one off is a hand-scraped job, not a standard tear-off, and the decking underneath usually needs work. We price for it before we start. Call (833) 589-7971 for a free estimate.
Look for three things: line-item decking allowances, written change-order policy, and brand naming. A bid that says “as needed” on decking without a price per square foot is a blank check. A bid that does not name the shingle brand is hiding margin. Ask both companies to walk the roof with you. The one that wants to inspect before quoting is the one that will not surprise you later. Call (833) 589-7971 and Roland Vega will walk your roof with you and explain what you are paying for.
Yes. Inglewood’s summer UV load is severe, and Santa Ana events hit hard from the northeast. We recommend architectural shingles with a high wind rating for most homes here, and we use a six-nail pattern on all edges and ridge lines rather than the standard four. On homes under the LAX flight paths, we also re-nail the entire decking surface rather than trusting 60-year-old fasteners. Call (833) 589-7971 for a material and nailing recommendation specific to your roof.
We generally advise against it, and here is why. A re-roof over existing shingles adds weight and hides the decking problems underneath. On Inglewood’s mid-century tract homes, skip sheathing, loose fasteners, and rotted boards are common, and a overlay would lock those problems in for another 20 years. A full tear-off lets us inspect and repair the decking, replace underlayment, and install new flashing at every penetration. Call (833) 589-7971 and we will walk you through what your roof needs and why.
