We work the neighborhoods off Lankershim, Magnolia, Vineland, and the NoHo Arts District regularly. Why that matters: a 1940s bungalow in 91601 with original skip sheathing and a 2018 ADU addition behaves nothing like a 1965 apartment block in 91605 with parapet walls. Knowing the difference before we quote means your price holds. That’s the whole point.

Why Tilecraft Roofing Is North Hollywood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company

A roof replacement over 1920s – 1950s framing is rarely a simple tear-off. North Hollywood’s post-2016 ADU and second-story push means we’re often reconciling two roof structures on one house: original shallow-pitch tile over old skip sheathing, and a newer addition built to current code. Our Roof Replacement team plans for that from the first measurement, not after the tile comes up.

The difference is in how we quote. Seven brands in our portfolio (GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, Boral) means we recommend the right material for your specific roof, not whatever we stock in the yard. GAF Timberline for longevity on a standard shingle roof. Boral for clay-tile aesthetics on a Spanish-revival. Repair when repair is right, replace when it’s not.

Ownership here is Ruben Castellano. He’s the one who decides whether a roof needs replacing or whether a repair buys you another five years. That matters when you’re spending five figures.

Flat Roof Replacement in North Hollywood

Flat Roof Replacement in North Hollywood mostly involves the 1960s – 70s apartment buildings concentrated around 91605 and 91606, plus a growing number of modern ADU additions with low-slope membrane sections. These roofs fail differently than pitched ones: water ponds in low spots, flashing around parapet walls separates, and by the time a tenant sees water in a unit, the damage to the decking below is already done.

A typical flat roof replacement in North Hollywood runs $12,500 – $19,800 for a 1,200 – 1,800 sq ft roof, depending on insulation thickness and how many penetrations (vents, drains, AC curbs) require new flashing. Tear-off and re-decking add cost. If the existing roof has multiple patch layers, expect the price to move toward the higher end because we have to bring the whole assembly down to deck level before rebuilding it.

Parapet and Drain Work

Most leaks on older North Hollywood flat roofs start at the parapet wall or the internal drains, not at the open field. We re-flash every parapet with new counterflashing and replace drain bowls and strainer assemblies as part of the scope. Skipping this step saves $800 and guarantees a call back in December.

Membrane Selection

For North Hollywood’s valley heat, we lean toward modified bitumen or a PVC/TPO system depending on roof use and slope. Modified bitumen handles foot traffic better if the roof doubles as a mechanical platform. TPO reflects heat and is simpler to repair if the building owner plans to hold long-term.

Roof Installation in North Hollywood

Roof Installation in North Hollywood on new ADU additions and second-story builds follows different rules than replacement work. The new structure is already to code, but the transition where the new roof meets the original 1940s and 1950s construction is where crews either earn their money or hide mistakes.

New roof installation on an addition typically runs $7,200 – $14,500 for standard asphalt shingles over new plywood decking, depending on square footage and pitch. Architectural shingles from Atlas or CertainTeed add $1,800 – $3,000 over three-tab, and most North Hollywood homeowners choose architectural for the wind and UV performance.

Overbuild and Valley Details

When a second story or ADU ties into an existing roofline, the valley where the two planes meet is the highest-risk detail on the entire house. We re-deck that transition with fresh plywood, run ice and water shield through the valley, and install new flashing before any shingle goes down. The goal is a roof that looks like it was always one structure.

Decking Conditions on New Work

New construction gives us clean decking and square framing, which means installation moves faster and costs less per square. The catch is verifying the framing was inspected and signed off before we cover it. We don’t install over open permits or unapproved framing. That’s a corner you don’t want cut, because North Hollywood inspectors will flag it during final.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in North Hollywood Homes

• Layered original-and-addition rooflines: The 1920s – 1950s house has shallow-pitch framing and skip sheathing; the 2016+ ADU or second story is built to current code with different decking and flashing details. Both roofs get replaced at the same time, but they need different edge and valley treatments.
• Santa Ana wind damage through the Cahuenga Pass: North-facing and pass-facing slopes lose ridge caps and loose tile after wind events, while south-facing slopes show different damage, mostly UV-flaked asphalt and brittle underlayment. A street in 91601 can need two different replacement strategies, one slope after another.
• Hidden underlayment failure on tile roofs: Older North Hollywood bungalows often have clay tile that looks intact from the street but hides failed underlayment and deteriorated skip sheathing underneath. Once tile is removed, decking and flashing upgrades become necessary, and those can trigger permit-driven code corrections the homeowner didn’t budget for.
• Parapet leaks on Valley apartments: The 1960s – 70s apartment buildings around 91605 and 91606, and scattered flat sections across the 91601 corridor, leak during the December – March rainy season when aged flashing and clogged drains go unnoticed until water enters the units. By then the decking is often soft and needs replacement, not just patching.
