Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Hollywood
Roof replacement in Hollywood, CA typically costs between $14,000 and $42,000 depending on material choice, roof complexity, and whether historic preservation review applies to your property. Most full tear-offs on Hollywood homes take 3 to 7 working days once materials arrive and permits clear. If you’re watching water stains spread across a ceiling in a 1920s bungalow off Franklin Avenue, call us at (833) 467-4846 and we’ll walk the roof first, explain what we find, and give you a written line-item scope before you spend a dollar.
We serve the 90028 ZIP and the surrounding hills and flats, from Whitley Heights to Beachwood Canyon to the neighborhoods south of Melrose. Our crew knows Hollywood’s housing stock and delivers Owens Corning service in Hollywood regularly. You get an inspection before a quote, a written allowance system for hidden damage, and access to seven roofing brands rather than whatever one product a salesperson is pushing that month.
Why Tilecraft Roofing Is Hollywood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Hollywood homeowners repeatedly call us for one reason: we look before we quote. A roof replacement here rarely stops at the shingles. On a 1928 Spanish Colonial Revival off Hollywood Boulevard near the 90028 ZIP, our crew found original clay tile patched with asphalt shingles over rotten decking, and fascia soft from years of palm frond debris sitting in the valleys. We replaced the decking, laid ice and water shield in every valley, and matched the original tile profile with Boral clay tile so the home cleared preservation review. That project is what we do routinely in this neighborhood.
We also carry the credibility of a full Roof Replacement team that works with seven major manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That means we don’t steer you toward a single brand because it’s what we stock. If a homeowner in the Hollywood Dell wants Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles for wind performance, we install those. If an HPOZ review board on a hillside property requires clay tile match, we source it. Same crew, same warranty process, different materials per roof.
Styles & brands we work with
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Hollywood
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement is the most common project we handle across Hollywood’s flatland bungalows and mid-century apartment buildings. A typical single-family home in the 90028 ZIP runs $14,000 to $26,000 for a full tear-off and architectural shingle install, depending on roof pitch, number of layers being removed, and whether the decking underneath has survived decades of UV and rain. We most often install CertainTeed Landmark or Owens Corning Duration on Hollywood homes because both handle prolonged sun exposure well and carry strong manufacturer warranties.
Decking Replacement and Hidden Rot
On older Hollywood homes, especially Craftsman bungalows from the 1910s and 1920s, the shingles are rarely the only problem. Decades of ficus leaf litter and jacaranda debris in the valleys traps moisture against the underlayment, and by the time shingles fail, sections of the roof deck are usually soft. We budget decking replacement as a per-sheet allowance in the contract, so when our crew finds rot after tear-off, the price is already agreed and written down.
Wind and Fastening Standards for Hillside Properties
Homes above the Boulevard sit in wind corridors during Santa Ana events, and an asphalt roof is only as good as its nailing pattern. We specify six nails per shingle on exposed slopes and check every ridge cap after installation. A well-fastened architectural shingle roof on a Beachwood Canyon property will hold through wind events that lift cheaper three-tab installs.
New Roof Installation in Hollywood
New Roof Installation work in Hollywood usually falls into two categories: new construction on infill lots or ADU builds, and full re-decks where the existing roof structure is too far gone to patch over. For a standard new construction roof on a flat or low-slope Hollywood lot, expect $18,000 to $32,000 for architectural shingles, including new underlayment, flashing, and ventilation. Steeper hillside new builds with clay tile or standing seam profiles run higher, often past $45,000, because of crane access and tile weight considerations.
Code-Compliant New Roof Systems
A new roof on a Hollywood property means meeting current California Title 24 and LADBS requirements for ventilation, nailing, and fire-rated underlayment in hillside zones. We pull permits on new construction and work with your general contractor or architect so the roof sequencing doesn’t stall framing inspection. Fire-rated underlayment is standard on our hillside installs, not an upgrade we upsell.
ADU and Addition Roof Ties
When a Hollywood homeowner adds an ADU above a garage or ties a new roof into an existing gable, the intersection is where future leaks happen. We install step flashing and transition membrane details that survive both the original structure settling and the new section expanding. If the existing roof is near the end of its life, we’ll tell you whether tying in is worth it or whether re-roofing the whole plane makes more financial sense.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
Seven leading brands, one crew. Tilecraft Roofing installs and services GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral products across Hollywood, which gives you actual choice in material, warranty, and aesthetic rather than a contractor’s default. For asphalt shingle work on Hollywood bungalows, we often recommend CertainTeed Landmark for color range or Owens Corning Duration for wind resistance on exposed hillside slopes. For clay tile matching on historic Spanish Colonial Revivals, Boral is our go-to. Because we’re authorized across seven brands, warranty claims on Hollywood jobs route through the manufacturer directly, not through a distributor workaround.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Palm fronds and ficus litter clogging valleys. Mature palm and ficus canopy over Hollywood streets drops debris that accumulates faster than most homeowners realize. A valley packed with wet organic matter holds water against underlayment and rots the decking from the top down, and it’s usually invisible until tear-off.
- Brittle original clay tile on pre-war homes. Decades of intense UV baking make 1920s clay tile snap under foot traffic during a simple repair. A small leak chase can turn into a full tile replacement once the original material starts breaking under the crew’s weight.
- Santa Ana wind lifting ridge tiles and shingle edges. Hillside homes above Hollywood Boulevard face wind patterns that inland Los Angeles never sees. Ridge tiles that weren’t mechanically fastened, and shingles with too few nails per course, fail first during October and November wind events.
- Historic Preservation Overlay Zone material match requirements. If your Hollywood home sits in an HPOZ, a reroof means matching original material profiles and colors. That’s not a suggestion: it’s a condition of your permit, and it changes the scope, timeline, and price before a single tile comes off.

AfterPricing for Roof Replacement in Hollywood, CA
A full asphalt shingle roof replacement on a standard Hollywood bungalow runs $14,000 to $26,000. Architectural shingle upgrades with better wind ratings add $1,500 to $4,000. Clay tile reroofs on HPOZ properties run $38,000 to $70,000 and up, because matching original profiles often means sourcing or fabricating individual tiles rather than ordering a pallet off the shelf. New construction roofs range from $18,000 to $45,000 depending on pitch and material. Decking replacement, when rot is found, runs $3 to $6 per square foot and is written into your contract as a pre-priced allowance. Call (833) 467-4846 for a free written estimate. We don’t give ballpark numbers over the phone and call them quotes; we walk the roof and put numbers on paper.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Hollywood
Expect rotted decking where valleys have been packed with palm fronds and ficus litter, original wiring chafed against the underside of the decking, and framing that may have been notched for old venting in ways current code doesn’t allow. These problems appear after tear-off, not before, which is why we write decking and framing allowances into the contract so the price of the fix is agreed before we open the roof.
Yes, the City of Los Angeles requires a permit for roof replacement, and depending on the scope, the inspector may require upgrades to ventilation, nailing patterns, or fire-rated underlayment to bring the roof plane into compliance with current code. On older Hollywood homes, this sometimes means adding or expanding eave ventilation or replacing decking that no longer meets thickness standards. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and handle any code corrections that come up.
Yes. We match original clay tile profiles and colors using Boral tile lines, and when the original profile isn’t manufactured anymore, we source salvaged tile or have matching pieces fabricated. This process adds weeks and cost compared to an asphalt tear-off, but in a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, it’s the difference between passing review and being told to tear the roof off again.
Palm fronds and ficus leaves pile up in valleys and behind chimneys, trapping moisture against underlayment and decking. On many Hollywood roofs, the visible shingle damage is minor while the hidden deck rot underneath is extensive. We clear the valley protection during tear-off, inspect the full deck, and install ice and water shield in every valley even when existing roofers never bothered.
A square is 100 square feet of roof area, and it’s the unit every roofing estimate uses. Your quote might say “22 squares” for a Hollywood bungalow, which means 2,200 square feet of roof surface. Understanding squares helps you compare pricing fairly, and on our written estimates, we list the exact square count for every plane of your roof.
