Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Artesia
Roof replacement in Artesia usually runs $11,500 – $21,000 for a full tear-off and re-roof on a typical 1950s – 70s tract or ranch home, and most jobs take 3 – 7 working days once materials arrive. On older Artesia homes near Pioneer Boulevard, the real cost driver isn’t the new shingles, it’s what our crew finds once the original wood-shake comes off: soft decking, failed flashing, and underlayment that went brittle under decades of dry LA Basin sun. We know this housing stock because we work it constantly.
Hollywood Roofing Co replaces roofs across ZIP 90701 and 90702, and we know the tight lots, the aged shakes, and the specific tear-off challenges that define Artesia work. Call (833) 589-7971 to schedule a free estimate. Roland Vega, our owner, is the one who walks your roof before any number is put on paper.

Why Hollywood Roofing Co Is Artesia’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We’ve pulled original wood-shake off enough Artesia ranch houses to know exactly what hides underneath. On a 1961 house off Pioneer Boulevard, our crew stripped the brittle shake and found decking soft along two valleys where decades of dry-rot had set in under failed flashing at the penetrations. We replaced the rotted sheathing, laid new underlayment, set a GAF architectural shingle system with fresh drip edge and ridge vent, and walked the homeowner through every change before it was nailed down. That’s how we handle every Artesia roof replacement: open it up, show you what’s there, get your approval in writing, then fix it right.
We install seven roofing material brands, including GAF, CertainTeed, and Tamko, so the recommendation you get is matched to your home and budget, not to what a single supplier happens to stock. That matters when your Artesia roof needs a specific product, whether a premium architectural shingle or a value-tier option that still carries a strong warranty. Our Roof Replacement team handles everything from tear-off to final inspection, and we never hand the work to a sub crew we don’t directly supervise.
One more thing: we treat roof inspection as its own service. If you’re not sure whether your Artesia roof needs replacement or has another five years in it, we’ll tell you straight, with a written condition report and no pressure to sign a contract the same day.
Styles & brands we work with
Flat Roof Replacement in Artesia
Flat Roof Replacement in Artesia is common on the older commercial buildings along Pioneer Boulevard and on the occasional mid-century home with a low-slope section or addition. These flat roofs typically use built-up asphalt, modified bitumen, or single-ply membranes, and after decades of direct sun exposure, the surface cracks, splits, and eventually leaks around drains and penetrations. In Artesia, a flat roof replacement on a modest single-story structure generally runs $9,000 – $16,000 depending on square footage, insulation scope, and the condition of the underlying decking. The work involves stripping the old membrane, repairing any water-damaged substrate, installing new insulation where needed, and laying a new membrane with proper flashing at all edges, curbs, and drains.
Built-Up and Modified Bitumen Systems
These layered systems remain a solid choice for Artesia’s flat and low-slope roofs because they handle foot traffic and UV exposure well. We install modified bitumen with torch or cold-applied methods, depending on the building’s occupancy and safety constraints. Expect a properly flashed modified bitumen roof to last 20 – 25 years in this climate with basic maintenance.
Single-Ply Membrane Options
TPO and PVC single-ply membranes reflect heat well, which can lower cooling costs on Artesia commercial buildings during the long hot season. We recommend these when the roof is larger, mostly unobstructed, and the owner wants a lighter-weight assembly that installs efficiently. A TPO roof in Artesia typically runs at the lower end of the flat-roof price spectrum and handles ponding water better than older felt systems.
Roof Installation in Artesia
Roof Installation in Artesia covers two situations: full replacement of an existing roof on a home or building, and new construction roofing on additions, ADUs, or ground-up projects in ZIP 90701 and 90702. For replacement work on Artesia’s 1950s – 70s housing stock, the job means a complete tear-off down to the decking because most of these homes still carry their original roof material, and overlaying a new roof on top of brittle, failing shake or degraded shingles is a bad investment. New roof installation on an Artesia home, including tear-off, decking repair allowances, underlayment, and architectural shingles, typically runs $11,500 – $21,000 for a standard single-story ranch. New construction roofing is priced by square footage and material choice, usually starting around $6.50 per square foot installed.
Full Tear-Off and Replacement on Older Artesia Homes
The original wood-shake roofs on Artesia’s oldest homes are now 50+ years old and brittle, which means tear-off, not installation, is the long pole on most projects. Our crew plans for slow, careful removal because the shakes splinter and the nails have corroded into the sheathing. We stage materials on the street or driveway when the side yard is too narrow, and we protect adjacent properties with plywood walkways and daily cleanup.
New Construction and ADU Roofing
If you’re building an ADU in your Artesia backyard or adding a second story, the roof needs to tie into the existing structure correctly or you’ll be chasing leaks from day one. We install new construction roofs with proper flashing at the transitions, code-compliant underlayment, and the material choice that matches both the main house and your budget. We handle the permitting drawings and the final inspection coordination so the job closes out clean.
Trusted Brands We Service in Artesia
We’re an authorized installer for seven major roofing brands: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That means our Artesia customers get a real choice. If you want a premium architectural shingle with a strong transferable warranty, we can quote GAF or CertainTeed. If budget matters more, Tamko and IKO offer solid performance at a lower per-square cost. We stock fast-moving materials locally for Artesia jobs and order specialty products with a short lead time, so a material choice never stalls your project.
Seven leading brands. One honest recommendation, matched to your home.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Artesia Homes
- Brittle, splintering original wood-shake: On Artesia’s 1950s and 60s homes, the original shake is often 50+ years old. It tears apart during removal, and that slow, careful tear-off adds labor hours to the job, not because anyone is dragging their feet, but because the material literally crumbles.
- Soft decking hidden under the shakes: Decades of dry-rot set in around failed flashing at vents, valleys, and pipe penetrations. The decking looks fine from above, but once the old roof is stripped off, you can see the damage, and it has to be replaced before the new roof goes down.
- Cracked, curled underlayment and flashing from intense UV: Artesia summers bake a roof. The original felt and flashing on older homes dry out, curl up, and crack, and then the winter rains find every weak point around penetrations and valleys. A new roof needs new underlayment, not just new shingles on top of compromised paper.
- Tight lots with almost no staging room: Homes near Pioneer Boulevard sit close together, and many have a couple of feet of side yard at best. A hidden structural fix mid-tear-off can get complicated when there’s nowhere to put a material cart. We plan for that from the first walkthrough, not when the roof is already open.

AfterPricing for Roof Replacement in Artesia, CA
A full tear-off and replacement on a typical Artesia tract or ranch home runs $11,500 – $21,000, with architectural shingles landing mid-range of that spectrum. Flat roof replacement runs $9,000 – $16,000 depending on size and system. New construction roofing starts around $6.50 per square foot installed. The biggest swing factor on older Artesia homes is decking repair: if we find rotted sheathing after the shakes come off, material and labor for the repair range from $600 – $2,800 depending on the square footage involved and whether the rot has extended into the fascia or rafters.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Artesia
The quote goes up when the tear-off exposes rot, failed decking, or structural damage that no one could see while the old roof was still in place. On Artesia’s 1950s and 60s homes, this happens on roughly two out of three jobs, because 50+ year old wood-shake and the dry-rot under failed flashing go hand in hand. We handle this by writing a decking-repair allowance into the original contract, showing you photos and measurements of exactly what was found before any change is approved, and pricing the repair in writing, signed by both of us, before the new material goes on. Call (833) 589-7971 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
We treat those teardowns as slow, controlled removals. The shake is brittle, the nails are corroded, and the lots near Pioneer Boulevard leave little room for staging, so we set dump trailers on the street, carry debris out by hand when the side yard is too narrow for a cart, and protect the neighbor’s property with plywood walkways and full daily cleanup. Tear-off on these homes takes about a day and a half longer than on a newer house where the old shingles pull off cleanly. The extra time is planned into your quote from the start, not discovered midway.
Current California building code requires a full underlayment layer, drip edge at all eaves and rakes, and properly flashed penetrations, valleys, and sidewalls, and those requirements apply to any permitted roof replacement in Artesia. On an older home with the original roof, the existing underlayment and flashing are almost always shot, so replacement isn’t a code add-on, it’s the only way to do the job that doesn’t leak. We include all code-required underlayment, flashing, and ventilation in the base quote, and we pull the permit and handle the inspection for you.
Line the bids up by scope, not by the bottom line. Ask whether each bid includes the full tear-off, a decking-repair allowance, code-required underlayment and flashing, new drip edge, ridge vent or other ventilation, permit fees, and disposal. If one bid is $4,000 cheaper, it usually means one of those items is missing or under-allowanced, and on an Artesia home with a 60-year-old roof, that missing allowance is the exact cost that will come back for you after tear-off starts. Bring both bids to us and we’ll walk through what’s covered and what isn’t before you sign anything.
Yes. A properly installed architectural shingle system with modern underlayment, drip edge, and flashed penetrations will handle Artesia’s long dry summers and periodic heavy winter rains for 25 – 30 years with normal maintenance. The failure you’re replacing on an older Artesia roof was almost always the original underlayment and flashing, not the shingle itself, and that’s why we never re-cover over an old roof when the underlayment is 50 years old and brittle. New material on compromised paper just hides the problem until the next rain.
