Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across North Hollywood
A full Roof Replacement in North Hollywood typically runs $9,800 to $18,500 for a standard single-family home, with tear-off, decking repair, underlayment, and new shingles or membrane included. Most projects take four to seven working days once permits clear. Call (866) 942-4187 for a written quote specific to your street and roof condition.
We work throughout North Hollywood every week, from the 1920s bungalow blocks of 91601 to the apartment corridors of 91606. Tight lots, shared driveways, and density are the norm here, not the exception. Our crews know how to stage on a constrained site and keep the job moving without blocking your neighbor’s access. That local familiarity saves you days and keeps the workday quieter than you’d expect.
Why Orange County Roofing Co Is North Hollywood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Kurt Hensley started this company with a simple position: carry enough major brands that we never have to push one product. That matters in North Hollywood because the housing stock is so mixed. A 1920s Spanish Colonial on a bungalow lot in 91601 needs different materials and detailing than a 1960s walk-up apartment in 91605, and neither suits the flat membrane work common on NoHo Arts District condos. We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral – seven manufacturers – so the recommendation follows the roof, not our inventory.
North Hollywood homeowners call us because we speak plainly about what their roof actually needs. A tear-off on an older bungalow often reveals skip-sheathing gaps that require new decking. We scope that upfront so the quote reflects reality, not a pleasant surprise. Our inspection is a standalone service too, so you can find out what your roof needs before committing to anything. One call covers inspection, repair, or full replacement.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Replacement Contractor in North Hollywood
A Roof Replacement Contractor in North Hollywood has to handle three very different building types within a single workweek. The 1920s-1940s bungalows in 91601 and 91602 sit on tight lots with low-pitch roofs and original skip-sheathing. The postwar apartment stock in 91605 and 91606 brings shared walls, party-wall flashing, and flat hot-mop sections. The newer NoHo Arts District condos use membrane and cool-roof systems over shared roof decks. Each job changes the staging plan, the permit path, and the labor hours.
Full Tear-Off and Reroof
Most North Hollywood bungalows need a full tear-off rather than a layover. The original materials are decades past their lifespan, and layering new shingles over compromised decking just hides the problem. We strip to the framing, replace heat-cracked or rotten boards, then rebuild the roof assembly properly.
Decking and Underlayment Replacement
Skip-sheathing with board gaps is common on prewar North Hollywood homes. We inspect every board after tear-off. Where sunlight was visible from the attic, new plywood or OSB goes down before underlayment, otherwise the shingle warranty is void from day one.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in North Hollywood
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in North Hollywood runs $9,800 to $14,700 for a typical 1,100 to 1,600 square foot bungalow, depending on shingle tier and decking scope. Architectural shingles from Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, or Tamko are the most common choice here because they hold up to Valley heat better than 3-tab and give the older Spanish Colonial and Craftsman homes a dimensional look that suits the era.
Architectural Shingles for Valley Heat
San Fernando Valley summers push attic temperatures past 140°F. Three-tab shingles get brittle and lose granules faster under that load. Architectural shingles have a laminated base that resists thermal cracking, and most carry a higher wind rating too. For North Hollywood, the right architectural shingle means fewer nail-pops and curled tabs five to ten years in.
Starter Strip and Ridge Vent
Every shingle replacement we do includes starter strip at the eaves and rakes, plus ridge vent where the roof line allows. On the older North Hollywood bungalows, attic ventilation was rarely adequate. Adding ridge vent keeps the decking cooler and extends the life of whatever shingle you choose.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Hollywood
We install products from all seven major manufacturers, so when we recommend Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, or Tamko, it’s because that product fits your roof and budget, not because it’s the only line we carry. Warranty tiers differ across brands, and we’ll explain the trade-offs honestly. Local suppliers in the Valley stock these shingles in depth, which means we’re not waiting on a freight truck from out of state when your job starts. That keeps the project on schedule and your driveway clear of pallets sooner.
GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, Boral – we install them all, so we can recommend honestly. The right material for your roof, backed by the manufacturer’s own warranty.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in North Hollywood Homes
- Skip-sheathing gaps on 1920s bungalows. Tear-off on a 91601 or 91602 home often reveals board spacing that would never pass code today. New decking goes down before any underlayment, or the shingle manufacturer won’t honor the warranty.
- South-side heat cracking. The sun in this part of the Valley works the south-facing slope hard. We routinely see decking and shingles on the south side failing years before the shaded north slope.
- Party-wall flashing on apartment stock. In the 91605 and 91606 corridors, adjacent units share roof lines. Original flashing between them was often just hot-mop and hope. We pull that apart and rebuild the transition properly.
- Swamp cooler and skylight penetrations on flat roofs. NoHo Arts District condos leak first at penetrations. The membrane shrinks after years of dry heat, then the December rains push water under the flashing. Replacement jobs here need a scoped penetration detail before the work starts.

AfterPricing for Roof Replacement in North Hollywood, CA
Here are honest numbers for the North Hollywood market. A full tear-off and architectural shingle replacement on a bungalow runs $9,800 to $14,700. Larger homes, steep pitches, or extensive decking replacement push toward $18,500. Flat membrane work on a NoHo Arts District condo typically runs $12 to $18 per square foot depending on the membrane system and insulation involved. These are installed prices including standard tear-off, underlayment, and haul-away.
What changes the number most in North Hollywood is accessibility. A roof that can be reached with a ladder from the driveway costs less than one where we’re hand-carrying materials past a shared carport or lifting bundles a half-story up a narrow side yard. Staging on the street costs more because we need traffic control and a clean site at the end of every shift. We’ll walk the job with you, measure the actual roof, and give you a line-item number. Call (866) 942-4187 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in North Hollywood
Yes, the City of Los Angeles requires a permit for roof replacement, including tear-off and reroof. A tight lot changes the quote mainly through staging: if we can’t park a material trailer on-site or in the driveway, we build traffic control and street-staging labor into the number. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll walk your specific site before quoting.
We give written notice to adjoining owners at least 48 hours before work begins and post the work hours on-site. On party-wall roofs, we scope the flashing transition between units in the estimate, because that’s where most leaks originate. The notice and the flashing are both required for a clean job.
It depends on your building type and the extent of the work. Los Angeles requires cool-roof materials on most re-roofing projects for low-slope roofs, and Title 24 energy standards apply if you’re replacing more than half the roof. We’ll tell you exactly what applies to your specific roof before you commit. Call (866) 942-4187 for a straight answer.
Yes. Architectural shingles in blended earth tones get close to the original shake or tile look while meeting current wind and fire standards. For homes in historic overlay districts, we coordinate with the review board and keep the material palette compatible. We’ve done this on bungalows throughout 91601 and 91602.
We work within Los Angeles noise ordinance hours, which means amplified work starts at 7:00 a.m. on weekdays and ends by 6:00 p.m. On tight streets, we also stage tarps and nail screens to keep tear-off debris contained and keep one neighbor’s driveway clear at all times. Most of our North Hollywood crews have worked these blocks for years and know which neighbors to flag down before the compressor fires up.
