Call (888) 349-0842Roof Repair for Los Angeles homes and buildings
When your roof is damaged or leaking, you want a local roofer who can look at the problem soon and explain it in plain words.
Los Angeles gets only about 14 inches of rain a year, and more than 90% of it falls from November through April, often in short heavy storms or multi-day atmospheric river events that expose weak spots in aging roofs. Summers are dry and sunny with high UV, and inland valleys regularly top 90 degrees. Dry Santa Ana winds from fall into spring can damage roofs directly and drive wildfire embers, as seen in the January 2025 fires that destroyed or damaged thousands of homes in Pacific Palisades and other areas.
Repairs in Los Angeles often follow wildfire embers driven by Santa Ana winds, strong offshore windstorms, heavy winter storms and atmospheric rivers and intense sun, UV and valley heat. Mention what happened to your roof when you call, so you are connected with a roofer who handles that kind of repair.

Do Los Angeles roof repairs need a permit?
In the City of Los Angeles, re-roofing goes through the Department of Building and Safety's Express Permit process, which covers re-roofs over existing or new solid sheathing with Class A or B roofing under 6 pounds per square foot without a full plan check. Projects outside those limits, such as structural changes or heavier roofing, go through plan check instead.
- Class A roof covering is required for homes in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.
- Residential roof replacements covering more than 50% of the total roof area must use a CRRC-certified cool roof product.
- Removing and resetting existing roof tiles with new underlayment is its own express permit item and is exempt from cool roof rules.
Check with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) if you are unsure.

Should I repair or replace my roof?
It depends on the age of the roof and how widespread the damage is. Small, isolated problems on a roof in good shape are usually repaired. If damage is spread across the roof or the roof is near the end of its life, a roofer may suggest replacement.
How do I find roof repair contractors I can trust?
Ask for proof of licensing and insurance, a written estimate and warranty details. Be careful with anyone who pressures you to sign right away. Calling Roofing Captain connects you with a local roofer so you can start that conversation.
