Roofers in Van Nuys, CA
Roof work in Van Nuys comes down to heat, age, and the flat or low-slope roofs that cover so much of this Valley housing stock. Most homes here were built between the 1940s and 1960s, and their original built-up or modified bitumen roofs have spent decades baking under triple-digit summers. That means inspection often finds problems that look fine from the ground: UV-embrittled membranes, blistered seams, and decking that has dried and cracked under layers of old roofing. Tilecraft Roofing starts every Van Nuys job the same way: we look before we quote. Call (833) 467-4846 to schedule a roof inspection and find out what your roof actually needs.
Why Van Nuys Homes Are Different
Van Nuys sits deep in the San Fernando Valley, where summer highs routinely pass 100°F and the sun works on roofing materials year-round. Roofs here bake, dry out, and fail from heat and UV exposure far faster than roofs just over the hill on the cooler, foggier LA basin side. The difference shows up as cracked membranes, lifted seams, and brittle flashing on homes that would look unremarkable anywhere else.
The housing stock shapes the work too. Most of Van Nuys is 1940s to 1960s ranch-style tract homes and low-rise apartment buildings, many with low-slope or flat roofs originally finished with hot-mop built-up roofing or later modified bitumen. These roofs shed water slowly by design, so drainage matters as much as the membrane itself. When we inspect in Van Nuys, we pay close attention to ponding areas, because standing water on a flat roof shortens its life faster than sun exposure alone.
After a summer heat wave, the flat and low-slope roofs on older apartment buildings along Van Nuys Boulevard and the side streets often develop blisters and alligatoring on modified bitumen. The first rain of the season is when leaks suddenly appear at seams and penetrations that looked fine in dry weather. Homeowners who schedule an inspection in late summer or early fall catch these problems before the rain does.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Van Nuys Services
Most Van Nuys homeowners call us for one of two reasons: a roof that is leaking or failing, or a roof that is simply at the end of its useful life. Both start with the same inspection-first approach, and both are handled by the same crew from first call to final walkthrough.
Roof Repair in Van Nuys
Repair work in Van Nuys usually targets flat-roof problems: split seams on modified bitumen, blistered membranes, failed patches around vents and drains, and flashing that has pulled away from parapet walls after years of thermal expansion and contraction. We scope repairs to address the actual source of the problem, not just the visible symptom. If the decking underneath is dry and sound, repair is often the right call. If it is not, we will tell you honestly and show you why. Roof Repair in Van Nuys covers what we fix, how we fix it, and what it costs.
Roof Replacement in Van Nuys
When a Van Nuys roof has multiple layers, failed decking, or a membrane that has reached the end of its service life, replacement is the honest recommendation. We re-roof flat and low-slope homes with the right material for the roof: modified bitumen for durability, Boral tile for homes that want a premium clay-tile aesthetic, or asphalt shingles where pitch allows. Seven leading brands, one crew. Roof Replacement in Van Nuys walks through material options, the replacement process, and realistic timelines for Valley homes.

Roof Inspection in Van Nuys
A roof inspection in Van Nuys is the most practical first step a homeowner can take, because this climate hides problems until they become expensive. Homes built between the 1940s and 1960s often have original wood decking under multiple layers of old roofing, and after decades of 100°F summers, that decking can be dry, cracked, or water-damaged in ways that are invisible from the ground. Tilecraft Roofing performs Roof Inspection as a standalone service, not as a sales funnel. We look before we quote, and our report tells you what your roof actually needs: repair when repair is right, replace when it is not.
Roof Inspection Services
Signs you need it
Ceiling stains, peeling paint near the roofline, visible membrane cracks or blisters from the ground, granules collecting in gutters on pitched sections, or a roof older than 15 years that has never been professionally evaluated.
What it costs in Van Nuys
Roof inspections in Van Nuys typically cost between $150 and $450, depending on roof size, accessibility, and whether you need documentation for a real estate transaction.
How we do it
We walk the entire roof surface, check every seam, penetration, and flashing point, evaluate drainage and ponding, inspect the decking from below where accessible, and document findings with photos and a plain-English report.
Roof Estimate
Signs you need it
You are planning a roof repair or replacement in the next 12 months, you are comparing contractor scopes, or you need a written number for an insurance claim, refinance, or HOA approval package.
What it costs in Van Nuys
A written roof estimate in Van Nuys is free when it follows one of our inspections; standalone estimate visits for accessible single-family roofs run $150 to $450, credited toward the work if you proceed.
How we do it
We measure the roof, document its current condition, identify the specific repairs or replacement scope, build a line-item estimate using the right material for your roof, and deliver it in writing with no change-order surprises later.
Hail Damage Roof
Signs you need it
After a hailstorm, you may see dents in vents or flashing, cracked or missing shingles on pitched sections, or bruising on flat-roof membranes that shows up as soft spots underfoot.
What it costs in Van Nuys
Hail damage assessments in Van Nuys follow the same inspection pricing, typically $150 to $450, and include the photo documentation most insurance carriers require before processing a claim.
How we do it
We map every impact point, test the membrane and shingles for hidden bruising, document the extent with dated photos, and provide a written assessment you can submit with your claim.
Free Roof Inspection
Signs you need it
You want a professional condition assessment before deciding between repair and replacement, but you are not ready to commit to a full documented inspection report.

We offer a free roof inspection in Van Nuys for accessible single-family roofs; the walkthrough covers visual condition, obvious leaks and drainage problems, and a verbal summary of what we see.
How we do it
A Tilecraft inspector walks the roof surface, checks the most common failure points, gives you an honest verbal assessment, and recommends next steps without pressure or a hard sell.

Do I need a roof inspection before listing my Van Nuys home?
Most Van Nuys sellers benefit from an inspection before listing. Buyers here often request one after the general home inspection flags roof age, and a seller who already has documented roof condition negotiates from a stronger position. Call (833) 467-4846 for an exact quote.
How long does a roof inspection take in Van Nuys?
A standard single-family inspection typically takes 45 to 90 minutes on site, depending on roof size and accessibility. Flat and low-slope roofs with multiple penetrations take longer because every seam and flashing point gets checked. Call (833) 467-4846 to schedule.

What pushes pricing up in Van Nuys is predictable: roof accessibility, multiple layers of old roofing that must be removed, deteriorated decking that needs replacement, and the prevalence of flat systems that require more membrane and labor per square foot than steep shingle roofs. Tilecraft Roofing gives written line-item quotes before work starts, and we do not change the price mid-job without your written approval.

What Van Nuys Customers Say
"Flashing where the roof meets the chimney had never been done right by the original builder. He rebuilt it properly with step flashing instead of just running a bead of caulk over it like the last two people did."
— Daniela Delgado"Storm took part of the ridge off at night. They tarped it the same evening so the rain didn't get in, and did the real repair the following week."
— Grace Park"Full replacement after the hail. They handled the insurance adjuster meeting, documented everything, and I did not have to argue with anybody. Crew was here three days and the yard was cleaner when they left than when they started."
— Maya Rao
