Irvine is different from almost every other city in Orange County. It was built by the Irvine Company as a master-planned community, which means nearly every roof we replace here passes through a village association or HOA architectural review before a single tile comes off. We know the committees, the typical tile profiles they approve, and what a clean submittal looks like. That knowledge keeps your tear-off from sitting exposed while a committee debates.
Why Hollywood Roofing Co Is Irvine’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We’re not the loudest roofer in Orange County, but we’re the one Irvine homeowners call when the job has to be done right the first time. Our reputation in Irvine is built on the fact that we install seven leading material brands and match the product to the home, not to a supplier incentive. On the east side near Woodbridge, we see a lot of original 1980s concrete tile that needs a lift-and-relay. Around the Spectrum, we’re on flat and low-slope commercial assemblies. Different materials, same standard.
Reviews from Irvine customers mention two things consistently: we show up when we say we will, and we don’t push a full replacement when the underlayment is the real problem. Roland Vega runs the crews personally, and he’s worked enough Irvine tracts to know exactly what the architectural committees in each village will and won’t approve. That experience translates into fewer surprise rejections and fewer days lost waiting on a submittal correction.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Replacement Contractor in Irvine
A Roof Replacement Contractor in Irvine does more than tear off old roofing and nail down new material. On most Irvine jobs, we’re acting as the homeowner’s project lead through the architectural review process as well. We photograph the existing roof, pull the original tract documents when available, verify the tile profile and color against the association’s approved list, and assemble the submittal packet. Then we wait for sign-off before scheduling the tear-off. That sequence is not optional in most Irvine villages, and skipping it is how people end up with a half-open roof and an angry committee letter.
Lift-and-Relay on Original Tile
This is the signature Irvine job. The concrete barrel tiles on a 1980s tract home are usually still structurally sound, but the felt beneath them has baked brittle in 40 summers of UV. We carefully stack, number, and re-set the original tile over new underlayment and ice-and-water shield. The HOA needs the exact profile and color, and we keep it.
Full Tear-Off and Replacement
When decking has rotted or the tile profile is no longer manufactured, a full replacement makes more sense. We pull permits, handle structural sheathing replacement, and install a system the architectural committee has already signed off on. For these jobs, our seven-brand material portfolio means we’re not stuck recommending whatever one supplier happens to stock.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Irvine
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Irvine is common in the newer attached and mid-density housing stock around 92618 and 92620, but it’s a tougher sell with certain village architectural committees that mandate concrete tile. Where shingles are approved or already exist, we typically install architectural-grade GAF or CertainTeed profiles that hold up to Santa Ana wind events better than builder-grade three-tab. A full asphalt shingle replacement on a 2,000 – 2,800 square-foot Irvine home generally runs $14,500 – $19,800 depending on pitch, decking condition, and whether the committee requires a specific color line.
Architectural vs. Builder-Grade
We rarely recommend three-tab anymore. Architectural shingles cost roughly 15 – 20% more but carry a thicker profile and better wind ratings, which matters in Irvine when Santa Ana gusts hit ridge lines and edges.
When Shingles Make Sense
On low-slope or flat assemblies around the Irvine Business Complex, shingles are often the wrong tool entirely. We’ll tell you that straight. The right material follows the roof geometry and the committee’s rules, not a salesman’s preference.
Trusted Brands We Service in Irvine
We install and service GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning asphalt systems across Irvine, alongside Boral concrete tile for lift-and-relay jobs where matching the original barrel profile matters. Because we’re authorized across all seven major brands, the recommendation on your roof comes from what the committee requires and what your budget says, not from a stocking agreement. That’s the whole point. Seven leading brands, one honest recommendation, matched to the home on Woodbridge or the flat assembly near Jamboree.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Irvine Homes
- Baked-brittle underlayment under intact tile. The tiles look perfect from the street, but the felt has turned to dust after 40 years of UV. The first big winter rain finds every weak point. This is a lift-and-relay, not a full replacement.
- Santa Ana wind lifting ridge and edge tile. Reused tile that wasn’t re-set with fresh fasteners and new drip edge is the first thing to go when the winds hit 40 mph from the northeast. We re-set every tile with new mechanical fastening.
- Architectural review snags after the tear-off started. A homeowner or a less experienced contractor starts the job before the HOA signs off, and the committee rejects the tile profile mid-job. Now the roof is open and the clock is ticking. We file first, tear off second.
- Whole-tract re-roofing waves. Streets built in the same year hit end-of-life at the same time, so review queues and crew availability bunch up neighborhood by neighborhood. Homeowners who file early in the season get better scheduling windows.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Irvine
Yes, in nearly all Irvine villages and homeowners associations, yes. Most Irvine communities require an architectural review submittal before any exterior roof change, including tear-offs and lift-and-relays. The packet typically needs the proposed material, color, tile profile or shingle line, and sometimes a sample for committee inspection. We assemble and file that packet for you, and we handle the follow-up corrections. Expect 3 – 6 weeks from submittal to approval on most Irvine tracts, though some villages move in 2 weeks if the packet is clean the first time. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll tell you exactly what your specific HOA requires.
Probably not. The most common failure we see in Irvine’s 1970s – 1990s tracts is not the tile itself, it’s the felt underlayment baked brittle by decades of UV and summer heat. The tiles get lifted, the old underlayment is stripped to the decking, new ice-and-water shield goes down in valleys and around penetrations, and the original tiles get re-set in the same profile and color. That’s a lift-and-relay, and it typically costs 40 – 60% less than a full replacement while still getting HOA approval. Call (833) 589-7971 for an honest assessment of whether your tiles can be saved.
Architectural review typically adds 3 – 6 weeks before any physical work begins, though it varies by village. Woodbridge and Westpark committees tend to be structured and predictable. Some smaller associations move faster. The key is filing a complete packet the first time, because a rejection eats another 2 – 4 weeks. We schedule tear-off only after we have written approval in hand, so your roof is never sitting open while a committee makes up its mind. Call (833) 589-7971 and we’ll tell you the realistic timeline for your specific tract.
Because Irvine Company tracts were built in waves. A street of homes completed in 1987 all hit end-of-life underlayment around the same window, roughly 30 – 40 years later. When the first winter rain leaks through a few houses on the block, the rest follow within a season or two. That also means HOA review queues and contractor availability bunch up on specific streets all at once. Filing your submittal early in the season gives you a better scheduling window than filing in November after the first rain.
We install both. Asphalt shingles are more common in the newer attached housing around 92618 and 92620 and in pockets where the original tract was built with shingles. Concrete tile still dominates the older Mediterranean-style villages, and some committees won’t approve a shingle conversion at all. We work across GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Boral, so the recommendation matches what your HOA will actually approve and what your budget can handle. Call (833) 589-7971 for a free estimate on either material path.
