Why Hollywood Roofing Co Is Valley Glen’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company

Valley Glen homeowners call us because we already know what their roof is fighting. The flat valley floor, the low tree canopy, the weeks over 100°F, the Santa Ana gusts that rattle the ridge caps off Hazeltine and Burnet. You don’t have to explain any of that to us. We see it on every tear-off we do between the 170 and the 405.

Roland Vega leads our crew, and he’s been on more Valley Glen roof replacements than most local companies do in a decade. We’re also brand-agnostic across seven major manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That matters here because a one-brand shop is going to sell you the shingle they stock, whether or not it’s the right one for a roof that bakes at 110°F in August. We don’t carry that bias.

We’re Licensed & Insured, and we give written line-item quotes so you can compare bids honestly. Estimates are free, and ours takes about an hour because we actually walk the roof and check the decking, the flashings, and the nailing pattern. Not a clipboard and a handshake.

Roof Replacement Contractor in Valley Glen

A Rooh Replacement Contractor in Valley Glen is the licensed professional who tears off the old layers, inspects the decking, and installs the new roof system, including underlayment, flashings, drip edge, and shingles or tile. Here, the job usually means removing one or two original layers of 1940s to 1960s asphalt, because many of these ranch homes have never had a full tear-off. Most Valley Glen replacements cost $9,500 to $19,500 depending on size, pitch, and how many layers are coming off.

Tear-Offs and Decking

On the older Valley Glen houses, especially the postwar tracts and 1950s ranches, we often find the original decking is still solid, but the fasteners and flashings are shot. We re-nail the deck to current code, replace any water-damaged plywood or plank, and move on. We don’t lay new shingles over rotted wood. Nobody should.

Flashings, Drip Edge, and Fasteners

This is where the cheap bid falls apart in Valley Glen. The heat here rusts standard galvanized drip edge and pipe boots faster than you’d believe. We specify hot-dip galvanized drip edge and stainless steel fasteners as standard. It costs more up front. It costs a lot less than a leak and a patch job in year six.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Valley Glen

An Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Valley Glen is the most common re-roof we do, because nearly all of the area’s postwar housing stock was built with asphalt shingles. But not all shingles survive this valley the same way. Standard 3-tab strips bake, crack, and curl here by year 12 to 15. Architectural shingles, like GAF Timberline HDZ or CertainTeed Landmark, hold up materially better under the inland sun. Expect to pay $9,500 to $16,500 for a typical Valley Glen single-story with architectural asphalt.

Why Architectural Shingles Last Longer Here

Architectural shingles have a thicker, laminated base that resists thermal cycling better than 3-tab. In a flat, hot valley with no marine layer, that matters. They also carry higher wind ratings, which matters when the Santa Anas funnel across the valley floor and try to peel your ridge caps.

What Goes Under the Shingle

The shingle is only the top layer. We put ice and water shield in the valleys and around penetrations, synthetic underlayment across the deck, and stainless fasteners at every nailing point. On a 1950s ranch off Hazeltine Avenue, we tore off two layers of heat-cooked asphalt that had curled and cracked after just 13 years. The decking was fine, but every penetration flashing was rusted and the drip edge had pulled loose from the fascia. We replaced it with hot-dip galvanized drip edge, ice and water shield in the valleys, and GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles nailed to spec with stainless steel fasteners to survive the next Santa Ana wind event.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Valley Glen Homes

• Heat-cooked and curling asphalt shingles. The valley floor sits 20 to 30 degrees hotter than coastal addresses during summer stretches. Shingles that should last 20 years crack and curl by year 12 to 15 here, and we see it on nearly every original roof we tear off.
• Santa Ana wind uplift on hip and ridge caps. The gusts that funnel across the flat valley lift poorly fastened caps. If the original nailing pattern wasn’t rated for those winds, the caps come with them, which is why we re-nail every cap to spec with stainless fasteners.
• Rusted flashings and drip edge at penetrations. The long dry season lets corrosion set in, then the first heavy winter rain finds every weak pipe boot and valley flashing. A coastal-spec job won’t see this as early. A Valley Glen job always does.
• Two or three layers of old roof compressing the decking. Many 1940s and 1950s houses still have original layers plus one overlay. The extra weight and trapped heat shorten the life of the top layer and hide decking damage until tear-off.
