Roof Repair in Westwood - Free Inspection, Itemized Written Quote

Fast, Reliable Roof Repair Across Westwood

Roof repair in Westwood usually runs between $350 and $2,800 depending on what’s failing, and most jobs can be quoted the same day we inspect. If you’re seeing water stains on a ceiling, lifted tiles after a Santa Ana wind event, or granules collecting in your gutters, call (213) 521-8272 and we’ll send a technician whose name and photo you’ll receive before they arrive. We know Westwood’s housing stock well – the 1920s Spanish Colonial Revivals near UCLA, the mid-century ranch homes along Veteran and Westwood Boulevard, and the flat-roof additions behind Holmby Hills. That local knowledge matters when a repair has to match original clay tile or tie into an older roof without creating a future leak.

The crews we dispatch to Westwood work with the specific roof systems common here: clay tile over aging framing, composition shingle on 1950s ranches, and modified bitumen or TPO on flat-roof additions. That means fewer surprises when we open up a roof near the university or around the hills. Call (213) 521-8272 and a live person answers, day or night.

Flat Roof Repair in Westwood

Flat roof repair in Westwood is a specialized job, and it’s one we handle regularly on the mid-century and modern additions scattered from Westwood Village up toward the hills. The first sentence isn’t filler: flat roofs drain differently than pitched roofs, and when the original addition wasn’t tied into the main roof correctly, water pools and finds its way inside. In Westwood’s wet winters, a small ponding area becomes a leak within a season or two.

A flat roof repair here typically starts around $450 for a patch and seal at a penetration, and runs to $2,500 or more when we’re removing wet insulation, replacing a section of underlayment, and re-sealing valleys and edges. The most common culprits we find in Westwood are failed vent boots, cracked flashing at the transition between flat and pitched sections, and seams that have opened on older modified bitumen. Each repair includes a written quote, and every repair includes the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

The tie-in problem on Westwood additions

Many Westwood homes from the 1950s and 60s had flat-roof additions built later, often by different contractors. The seam where a flat roof meets a pitched roof is the most frequent failure point we see. Proper repair means opening that seam, checking the decking condition, and installing new flashing and membrane that moves water away from the house. We quote that work with the tear-off and re-seal included, so the price you see is the price you pay.

Shingle Roof Repair in Westwood

Shingle roof repair in Westwood is common on the ranch homes that line the streets south of Sunset and east toward Westwood Boulevard. Those roofs are usually composition shingle, and after 15 to 25 years under Westwood’s dry summer sun, the asphalt dries out and the granules begin to slough off. Homeowners notice granules in gutters or downspouts, or curling at shingle edges. That’s the time to repair before water reaches the decking.

A simple shingle replacement in Westwood runs $200 to $600 for a small repair. When wind has lifted shingles across a larger field, or when the underlayment under the shingles has torn, the job moves to $1,200 to $2,800. Westwood’s occasional Santa Ana winds are hard on shingles, and the most common failure we find is a nailing pattern that didn’t meet the manufacturer’s wind rating. We re-nail or replace per the spec, not per habit.

Wind-rated installation, not just new shingles

The shingle brand’s wind rating only holds if the nails are placed correctly. Miss the nailing strip by half an inch, and the roof does not carry the 130-mph rating the packaging claims. On sloped roofs in Westwood, where wind funnels up through the canyons toward the hills, that’s not a theoretical concern. Our repair quotes include verifying and correcting the nailing pattern where new shingles go in, because the alternative doesn’t survive the next big blow.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westwood

We repair and install shingle and tile systems from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. If your Westwood home has a GAF Timberline or CertainTeed Landmark roof, we carry matching materials and can often turn a repair around in a day or two. For tile work, especially on the original clay tile roofs in the hills, we source Boral tile that matches the profile and color of existing pieces. That’s important when a preservation review near UCLA or Holmby Hills means you can’t swap in whatever’s on the truck. We keep common flashing, vent boots, and underlayment on hand for Westwood jobs, which cuts the time between diagnosis and repair.

Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Westwood Homes

• Spaced sheathing under original 1920s clay tile. In the hills north of Sunset, original tile roofs often sit on spaced boards, not solid decking. Current code requires solid decking beneath tile, which means a proper repair cannot simply reset the tile. The tear-off and decking upgrade should be part of the quote.
• Failed valley flashing on Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial homes. The valleys on those older Westwood homes carry a lot of water in winter. When the flashing corrodes or was never properly lapped, leaks start at the ceiling corners closest to the valley. We replace flashing and add ice and water shield in the valley.
• Flat-roof ponding on mid-century additions. Many Westwood ranch homes gained flat-roof additions decades ago. Those roofs often lack proper slope, and water sits. The membrane ages faster under standing water, and leaks follow. Repair means addressing the drainage path, not just patching the membrane.
• Santa Ana wind damage to shingles and flashing. The fall and winter wind events lift shingle corners, loosen ridge caps, and pull flashing away from penetrations. Homeowners often don’t see it from the ground. We find the damage on the roof before the next rain turns it into a ceiling stain.
