We know the difference between a flat roof over a 1950s ranch on a tapered lot and a low-slope apartment roof along Van Nuys Boulevard. That matters when you’re pricing a replacement. Tilecraft Roofing has been replacing roofs across the San Fernando Valley long enough to know what heat, time, and cheap top-layers do to a roof that was never scoped for the whole parcel.

Why Tilecraft Roofing Is Van Nuys’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company

We’re not a one-brand shop. Tilecraft Roofing carries material partnerships with GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, so when we recommend a roof for your Van Nuys home, it’s because the product fits the roof, the slope, and the budget you set, not because we’re clearing warehouse stock.

We look before we quote. Every replacement starts with an inspection of the existing roof, the decking underneath, the drainage paths, and any outbuildings that tie into the main roof. Homeowners off Vanowen Street and Sepulveda Boulevard tell us the same thing: other roofers quoted a square count over the phone. We walked the lot, pulled back a corner of membrane, and found three layers of old hot-mop that changed the estimate entirely.

Ruben Castellano runs the crew. He’s been on Van Nuys roofs in July when the surface temperature hits 150°F, and he’ll tell you directly if a repair buys you five more years or if you’re past that point. That’s the kind of honest assessment that keeps our Van Nuys customers calling back and referring neighbors.

New Roof Installation in Van Nuys

New Roof Installation in Van Nuys usually means tearing off everything down to the decking and building back up with new underlayment, flashing, and the roofing system you chose. On a typical 1,200 to 1,800 square foot ranch, a full tear-off and new architectural shingle roof runs $11,000 to $18,000. Flat or low-slope replacement with TPO or modified bitumen on a similar footprint lands between $12,500 and $21,000, depending on how much decking needs to come out.

Full Tear-Off and Decking

Most Van Nuys homes from the 1940s through the 1960s have original wood decking under multiple layers of roofing. We don’t know what that decking looks like until the old roof comes off. If there’s rot from decades of ponding at a low corner or around an old swamp cooler penetration, we replace those boards before anything new goes down.

Outbuilding and ADU Tie-Ins

A surprising number of Van Nuys lots have a detached garage, a converted workshop, or a permitted ADU out back. The main roof and the outbuilding roof need to drain as one system. We scope the tie-in, the flashing at the transition, and the drainage path before we quote, so you don’t find out mid-project that the garage roof is part of the job.

Reroofing in Van Nuys

Reroofing in Van Nuys means recovering or replacing the roof surface without a full tear-off, and it’s honest work when the decking is sound. If the existing roof is a single layer of modified bitumen or TPO that’s still bonded well, a recover can run $6,500 to $11,000 on a typical single-family home. But here’s the local reality: most Van Nuys roofs we see have two, three, or even four layers stacked up. Reroofing over that is the wrong call. When we pull back a corner and find layered hot-mop and membrane, we recommend a full tear-off.

Roof Decking Replacement

When the tear-off exposes soft decking, we replace it. That’s a line item in the estimate, not a surprise change order. In Van Nuys, we see rot most often at the low side of flat roofs, around old vents and penetrations, and under areas where a swamp cooler or antenna mount leaked for years and nobody noticed because it never rained enough to matter. The first real storm reveals the problem. We’d rather you find it before the rain does.

Flat Roofing Systems

Flat and low-slope roofing is the dominant profile across Van Nuys, especially on the mid-century tract homes and the two- to four-unit apartment buildings that line the side streets off Van Nuys Boulevard. We install TPO, modified bitumen, and built-up systems, and we’re comfortable with hot-mop tear-offs, which a lot of shingle-focused crews won’t touch. Drainage is the whole game on a flat roof. We cut crickets, set tapered insulation, and re-scope scuppers so water doesn’t stand.

Trusted Brands We Service in Van Nuys

Tilecraft Roofing installs GAF shingles on steep-slope sections, Atlas and Tamko for budget-conscious replacements, and Boral when a Van Nuys homeowner wants a tile profile that matches the Spanish or Mediterranean lines common across the Valley. We stock the accessories and flashing components for these systems locally, which means less waiting on parts and fewer delays when a job opens up and surprises appear. Having seven brands at hand means the material choice stays yours, not ours.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Van Nuys Homes

• Stacked layers of old roofing. Hot-mop built-up covered by modified bitumen covered by a later TPO recover. Each layer traps heat and hides what’s happening underneath, so the rot only shows at tear-off.
• Blistering on modified bitumen after heat waves. After a 100°F-plus Van Nuys summer, old apartment roofs blister and alligator at the surface. The leaks wait until the first winter rain shows up at seams and penetrations.
• Detached structures that were never scoped together. A converted ADU or a workshop out back changes drainage across the lot, and a house-only quote misses the tie-in, the shared drainage path, and the flashing work where the two roofs meet.
• Ponding at the parapet edge. Flat roofs on older Van Nuys buildings often have a low corner that holds water. It dries fast in the heat, so nobody thinks about it, but it’s soaking the decking all the same. The first sign is often a stain on the ceiling and soft wood around the perimeter.
