Roofers in Westwood, CA
Roofers in Westwood, CA work on some of the most architecturally varied homes in Los Angeles: 1920s Spanish and Mediterranean builds with original clay tile, mid-century ranch homes with composition shingles, and modern additions with flat roofs that tie into sloped originals. Wet winters, dry summers, and occasional Santa Ana winds mean roofs here face both moisture and UV stress in the same calendar year. If you’re weighing a repair or a full re-roof, call Mercer Roofing at (213) 521-8272 for a written price before any work begins.
Why Westwood Homes Are Different
Westwood’s housing stock spans two very different eras of construction, and each one brings its own roofing complications. The 1920s and 1930s Spanish Colonial Revival and Mediterranean homes near the UCLA campus and north of Sunset frequently still carry their original clay tile roofs. Those tiles are often laid over spaced sheathing – wooden boards with gaps between them – and today’s building code requires solid decking beneath any new roof. That means a re-roof on these older homes is rarely a simple overlay; it involves careful tear-off, decking upgrades, and structural work before new tile or shingle goes down.
The 1950s and 1960s ranch homes in the flatter sections of Westwood present a different set of problems. Many have been remodeled over the decades, with flat-roof additions tacked onto the back or side. Where a flat roof meets a sloped shingle roof, the tie-in and flashing details determine whether water stays out during wet winters. We see recurring leaks at these transitions more than anywhere else on the property. Add in tree cover from mature oaks and sycamores in the hills – shaded spots hold moisture and grow moss – and you get roofs that need proactive maintenance in Westwood more than homes in sunnier, open neighborhoods.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Westwood Services
Westwood homeowners call us most often for two things: emergency repairs when a leak or lifted flashing appears, and full roof installations when a roof has reached the end of its useful life. Each service has its own dedicated Westwood page with pricing, process, and local detail.
Roof Repair in Westwood
Roof repair calls in Westwood tend to spike after the first heavy rain of the season, when a slow drip finally shows itself on the ceiling. Common repairs here include replacing cracked or slipped clay tiles on the older Spanish homes, resealing flat-roof seams on mid-century additions, and re-securing flashing lifted by Santa Ana winds. Before we touch anything, you get a written price and a written guarantee on the repair – 365 days, and a free second visit if the fix doesn’t hold. Read more on our Roof Repair in Westwood page.
Roofing Company in Westwood
When Westwood homeowners call a Roofing Company in Westwood, they’re usually deciding between repairing an aging roof and replacing it. That decision often comes down to what’s underneath the surface. On pre-war homes with spaced sheathing, patch repairs can only go so far before code-compliant decking becomes the real issue. We help homeowners understand what they have, what it would take to fix it properly, and what a full replacement would cost – in writing, before any work starts. No pressure, no guesswork.
Roof Installation in Westwood
A roof installation in Westwood is a different job depending on whether the home is a 1920s tile-roof original or a 1960s ranch with composition shingles. On older tile homes, tear-off and structural decking upgrades are usually required before new tile or shingle goes down – and in areas near historic review zones, the materials you choose can be subject to preservation guidelines. On ranch homes, a straightforward shingle replacement moves faster, but drainage and tie-in details with flat-roof additions still need close attention. See Roof Installation in Westwood for full pricing and process.

Prices in Westwood push higher on tile roofs where the decking underneath was never upgraded – tear-off and structural work add real labor hours. Steep-sloped hill properties also require more equipment setup and safety rigging. Whatever the job, you get a written price before we start, and that’s the price you pay – no change orders, no end-of-job surprises.
