Roof Replacement in Commerce — Written Price, Workmanship Warranty

Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Commerce

Roof replacement in Commerce runs $8,500 – $19,000 for a typical asphalt shingle tear-off on a 1950s – 70s tract home, and $12,000 – $27,000 when hidden decking or framing repairs get added once the roof is open. That second number is the one Commerce homeowners rarely hear before signing, and it’s the reason we inspect, price allowances, and get written approval before nailing anything down. Our crews know Commerce’s aging housing stock and its flat-roof industrial neighbors block by block. Call (866) 942-4187 to schedule a free roof inspection and get a real number, not a guess.

Why Orange County Roofing Co Is Commerce’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company

We work in Commerce regularly, and we know what happens when you open a roof on a 1960s stucco tract home near the 5 and the 710: original skip sheathing that’s baked brittle, ventilation that never existed, and water damage that a shingle-over job would have buried. Homeowners here tell us the same thing: other contractors quoted a tear-off, then sent change orders once the decking crumbled. We handle it differently, and that’s the reason Commerce customers keep calling us back.

Kurt Hensley built our operation around a simple rule: inspect before you quote, and put allowances for the ugly stuff in writing. That means when we price a roof replacement in Commerce, the contract already accounts for the decking, flashing, and ventilation work this housing stock predictably needs. You’re not blindsided. We’re not guessing. The price moves less, and you know why it moves at all.

We carry seven major roofing brands, including GAF, Atlas, and Boral, so when we recommend a shingle for your Commerce home, it’s because that shingle fits your roof pitch, your budget, and the warranty tier you want. We don’t push one manufacturer. We install what actually works on low-pitch and near-flat decks that bake under Commerce sun five months a year.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Commerce

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Commerce is our most common job, and it’s rarely as straightforward as the brochure makes it look. A typical Commerce ranch home from the 1960s has a low-pitch roof deck, minimal or zero soffit venting, and original felt underlayment that’s been cooked for 50 years. The shingles might look worn from the street, but what’s underneath is often the real story: split 1×6 skip sheathing, heat-damaged plywood, and valleys that never had proper flashing. We price the shingle work and the underlying repair together, so the number you get is the number you pay. Asphalt shingle replacement in Commerce typically runs $8,500 – $15,500 depending on square footage and deck condition.

Architectural Shingle Upgrades

Many Commerce homeowners choose architectural shingles like GAF Timberline HDZ or Atlas Pinnacle when replacing an aged three-tab roof. These carry better wind ratings, which matters during Santa Ana gusts that rip through Commerce and lift old tabs. They also add dimension that suits the stucco ranch aesthetic of this city’s housing stock.

Decking Repair Before Shingle Install

If the deck won’t hold a nail, the shingle job fails no matter how good the shingle is. We inspect every square foot of decking before the shingles go down. When we find dried-out, split, or rotted boards, we price the replacement and get your approval in writing before proceeding, never after the nail gun starts.

New Roof Installation in Commerce

New Roof Installation in Commerce means either a full tear-off down to the framing on an existing home, or a complete roof system on new construction, often an ADU or an accessory structure on one of Commerce’s deep industrial-zoned lots. For existing homes, we strip everything to the rafters, inspect what’s there, fix what needs fixing, and build back with a properly ventilated assembly. For new construction, we install the roof system per current California code with the ventilation and underlayment that Commerce’s climate demands. New roof installation in Commerce typically runs $12,000 – $27,000 depending on structure size, framing repairs, and material choice.

Full Tear-Off and Rebuild

Some Commerce roofs are too far gone for a second layer. We tear off every layer, expose the framing, and only then do we know what the home really needs. Two layers of old shingles, failed built-up roofing, or original cedar shake under asphalt: we’ve seen all of it in Commerce. Tearing off is the only way to find it.

Flat and Low-Slope Roof Systems

Commerce has flat and low-slope roofs on both homes and the commercial buildings that surround residential streets. Our Roof Replacement team handles modified bitumen and TPO installations with the same crew that does steep-slope shingle work. You don’t need a separate contractor for the garage roof or the back addition. One call covers it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Commerce

We install GAF, Atlas, and Boral products on Commerce roofs, among the seven major brands we carry. Having multiple manufacturers on the truck means we’re not tied to one product line when a specific shingle, underlayment, or flashing detail fits your roof better. For 1950s – 70s Commerce homes with low slopes and heat-soaked decks, that matters. We stock common components locally and can get manufacturer-backed warranty materials to Commerce fast. The right roof, backed by the manufacturer’s own warranty, and installed by a crew that knows this city’s housing stock. That’s the whole position.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Commerce Homes

• Cooked decking hidden under old shingles. Original 1×6 skip sheathing or thin plywood in Commerce’s 1950s – 70s tract homes has been baked by attic heat for decades with almost no soffit intake air. It splits when you pull shingles, and it won’t reliably hold a nail. If we don’t replace it, your new roof starts failing within a few seasons.
• Undersized or water-damaged framing on low-pitch roofs. Low-slope and flat roofs on Commerce homes and adjacent commercial buildings often have marginal rafter sizing or old water damage at penetrations. New shingles or membrane won’t fix a sagging rafter. We inspect the framing and price repairs in the contract, not as a surprise.
• Failed ventilation and waterproofing at valleys and penetrations. Commerce’s minimal-ventilation design traps moisture, then heat drives it up. Failed underlayment, missing ice and water shield in valleys, and old flashing around pipes and vents show up constantly. A permit inspection will flag these once the roof is open, and code upgrades follow.
• Layered roofs that mask structural problems. Some Commerce homes have two or even three layers of old roofing, often because a previous owner wanted to save money. Every layer hides the deck condition below. Tearing off to the framing is the only way to see what’s actually there, and it’s the only way to build back right.
