Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Commerce
Roof replacement in Commerce, CA typically runs $9,800 to $24,000 depending on roof size, pitch, material, and whether decking needs work. Most Commerce jobs take 3 to 7 days once materials arrive, and we schedule a full inspection before quoting anything. Commerce roofs sit next to freight corridors and warehouse traffic along the 5 and 710, so grit, diesel soot, and heat cycling all factor into what we recommend. We’re a 25-minute drive from Commerce when traffic cooperates. Call (833) 467-4846 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Tilecraft Roofing Is Commerce’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We work with seven roofing manufacturers – GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral – which means we’re not steering you toward whatever shingle we happen to stock. That matters in Commerce because one part of ZIP 90101 needs a cool-roof coating that can handle diesel soot, and another part needs an architectural shingle that clears HOA review. We look before we quote. Inspection always comes first, and if repair makes more sense than replacement, that’s what we’ll tell you.
Ruben Castellano leads our crew, and he’s been clear about how we handle Commerce jobs: document the tear-off, match the original nailing pattern where a builder warranty is active, and never cut corners on flashing or drip edge. We’re fully licensed and insured, and we carry manufacturer-backed material warranties through our brand partnerships. When a Commerce homeowner calls, we schedule a roof inspection, walk the property, and give you a written scope with a line-item price. No change orders halfway through a job.
Styles & brands we work with






Reroofing in Commerce
Reroofing in Commerce usually means a second shingle layer over an existing roof or a complete tear-off and replacement, depending on what the decking inspection shows. In Commerce’s older 1950s-70s tract homes, the roof is often low-pitch or nearly flat, and the original asphalt or built-up system is at or past its service life. Reroofing here typically runs $8,500 to $19,500 depending on square count, tear-off depth, and whether we need to replace rotted decking sections. The first square we lift tells us a lot, because on 1990s-2000s infill, the original builder underlayment has often dried out from inland UV and heat cycling.
Tear-Off vs. Re-Cover
Tear-off removes everything down to the decking so we can inspect what’s underneath. Re-cover adds a new shingle layer over the old one, which is cheaper but hides decking problems and adds weight. On most Commerce homes over 20 years old, we recommend tear-off. The extra cost is usually $1,800 to $3,400 on an average 1,800-square-foot roof.
Replacing Builder Underlayment
When we lift old shingles on a 1990s or 2000s Commerce infill home, the original felt or synthetic underlayment is often brittle and cracked. We don’t shingle over that. We replace it with a modern synthetic or ice-and-water shield in the valleys and starter zones, which is where Commerce’s builder-grade installs failed first.
Flat Roof Replacement in Commerce
Flat roof replacement in Commerce is common because a large share of older homes here were built with low-slope or flat roofs that now support built-up, modified-bitumen, or torch-down systems. These roofs fail at the seams, flashing, and ponding areas, and the winter rain event in Commerce exposes every crack. Flat roof replacement in Commerce typically runs $7,000 to $15,500 depending on square footage, number of layers removed, and whether we’re installing a coating system or a new membrane. Heavy diesel soot from nearby warehouses darkens light-colored coatings faster than in residential-only cities, so material choice changes the arithmetic on recoating versus full replacement.
Coating vs. Membrane
An elastomeric coating can restore a flat roof for another 8 to 12 years when the underlying membrane is still sound. A full membrane replacement costs more upfront but addresses failed seams and flashing. On Commerce flat roofs that catch freight-corridor soot, we sometimes recommend a darker reflective coating or a membrane that won’t show the grime as fast.
Soffit and Edge Detail
Flat roofs on Commerce’s older homes frequently fail at the parapet walls and metal edge flashing. We inspect and reseal those joints during replacement. Skipping that step saves a few hundred dollars and gives you a leak within two winters.
Trusted Brands We Service in Commerce
We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral products, and we stock common shingle colors and profiles that Commerce HOAs tend to approve. For a newer tract home near the Commerce Civic Center, GAF Timberline HDZ in Charcoal is a frequent pick. For older flat-roof homes fighting sun and soot, Boral’s tile line offers a clay-tile aesthetic that holds up to UV without needing a coating every decade. Because we’re material-agnostic, we’re not locked into one brand’s color range. That gives Commerce homeowners real choice when their HOA has tight rules on shingle color and profile.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Commerce Homes
- Builder-grade 3-tab failure at the starter strip and valleys. Original installs on newer Commerce tract homes often skipped ice and water shield in these zones, so shingle loss happens early and predictably. We inspect those points before we quote anything.
- HOA color and profile restrictions causing mismatched replacements. A partial loss on a master-planned Commerce home can force a full re-roof if the original shingle was discontinued. We check HOA rules before we order materials.
- Dried-out original underlayment on 1990s-2000s infill. Inland heat cycling breaks down the builder’s felt fast, so a spot repair becomes a decking inspection once the first square comes off. We document what we find and show you photos.
- Flat-roof ponding and flashing failure on older 1950s-70s homes. Commerce’s low-pitch roofs hold water after winter rain, and failed parapet flashing lets it inside. A full replacement with new edge metal solves both at once.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Commerce
No, replacing shingles does not void a builder’s structural warranty as long as the work documents the tear-off and matches the original nailing pattern. We photograph every layer we remove and every fastener we replace, so if a structural claim comes up later, you have a record. Call (833) 467-4846 and we’ll explain what we document on Commerce jobs.
Commerce HOAs in newer master-planned pockets typically require neutral or earth-tone shingle colors and architectural or dimensional profiles rather than bold or high-contrast shades. We check your HOA’s architectural guidelines before ordering materials, and we’ve handled cases where an HOA rejected a color mid-project. Call us for a quote, and bring the HOA packet to the inspection.
A standard Commerce ranch measures 18 to 22 squares, and a 2,000-square-foot two-story measures 25 to 30 squares. Every bid should list square count and price per square including tear-off, underlayment, flashing, and ridge vent. If a bid doesn’t, the comparison is useless. We give you that breakdown in writing.
Yes, flat roof replacement involves removing the old membrane, repairing or replacing decking at the parapet and edge, and installing a new built-up or modified-bitumen system, while reroofing on a pitched roof means tearing off shingles and replacing them layer by layer. The pricing structure and the failure points are different. On Commerce’s older flat-roof stock, we inspect for ponding and flashing leaks before recommending membrane versus coating.
Yes, architectural shingles hold up better than builder-grade 3-tabs under Commerce’s inland UV and heat cycling, and darker colors hide the diesel soot that light-colored coatings accumulate. Atlas, IKO, and Tamko all make architectural shingles that perform well in this climate. The difference between 15 years and 25 years is the underlayment and install detail, not just the shingle brand. Call us for an exact recommendation once we’ve walked your roof.
