Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Century City
Replacing a roof in Century City isn’t like a typical L.A. neighborhood job. Most of the roofs here are flat commercial-style membranes over high-rise condos, office towers, and podium decks above retail, not shingle roofs on single-family homes. A full roof replacement in Century City typically runs $8 – $18 per square foot for a TPO or EPDM system, and the work has to be phased around tenants, elevators, and building security. Our crews know the 90067 zip code well. We stage materials with the building management, coordinate crane picks so they don’t block traffic on Avenue of the Stars, and tie every new membrane into the existing podium waterproofing so your building doesn’t leak the first time it rains. Call (866) 942-4187 for a free estimate. We’re Roof Replacement specialists, and we can give you a straight answer on what your building actually needs.
Why Orange County Roofing Co Is Century City’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Led by Kurt Hensley, our team has worked on roofs throughout Century City, from the twin Century Plaza towers down to smaller mid-rise condos along Constellation Boulevard. We understand that roofing here means coordinating with front desks, security checkpoints, and loading docks. That’s not true in most of Los Angeles, and it changes how the job runs.
Building owners in Century City call us because we do one thing well: flat-roof replacement over occupied space. We phase tear-offs around tenant hours, use vacuum systems to keep debris off balconies, and schedule hot-work permits through the building’s management office. Reviews from Century City customers consistently mention that our crews are quiet and don’t leave the loading dock a mess. That matters when you’re working above a luxury condo or a Class-A office floor.
We’re based in Corona, but Century City is a regular stop for our flat-roofing crews. Response time for an inspection in 90067 is usually within one or two business days, depending on building access.
Styles & brands we work with






Reroofing in Century City
Reroofing in Century City usually means a full tear-off of an aging TPO or EPDM membrane down to the existing deck, then installation of a new single-ply system or a built-up roof with cool-roof coating. The flat geometry and minimal slope mean every seam, every penetration, and every drain has to be flashed perfectly, because water has nowhere to go. Homeowners and HOA boards call us when they see persistent ponding after winter rain, or when the roof’s reflective coating has worn through and UV is starting to oxidize the membrane. Reroofing a mid-rise condo roof in Century City runs $10 – $16 per square foot, depending on insulation, deck condition, and access constraints.
Cool-Roof Coating Systems
Century City gets relentless summer UV, and unshaded roofs bake. A reflective coating can drop surface temperature by 50 degrees and buy time before a full replacement. We apply coating systems from manufacturers we already stock, so the warranty is real and enforceable.
Tear-Off and Membrane Replacement
When the old membrane is cracked, blistered, or pulling away at the parapet, patching won’t hold. We tear off to the deck, inspect for hidden rot at valleys and penetrations, and install a new system with proper slope corrections where drains have settled.
Flat Roof Replacement in Century City
Flat roof replacement in Century City is the majority of what we do in 90067, because nearly every building here has a flat roof over occupied space. The job means removing the failed membrane, inspecting and repairing the deck, re-insulating where needed, and installing a new single-ply or modified bitumen system that ties into the existing drainage. The critical part, the part a crew from outside the area won’t know to do, is tying the new membrane into the podium waterproofing below. If that seam fails, water travels down into the retail level or the parking garage, and the leak looks like it’s coming from somewhere else entirely.
Podium Deck Waterproofing and Membrane Tie-Ins
Buildings in Century City sit on podium decks over retail and parking. A flat roof replacement on the tower level often has to connect to waterproofing below the planter beds and plaza pavers. That’s a building-envelope coordination job, not just a roofing job. We map the tie-in points before we quote the work.
Drainage and Ponding Correction
Many flat roofs in Century City were built with minimal slope, and the drains are undersized for the rare but heavy winter storms. We add tapered insulation or scuppers where ponding is chronic. A roof that drains is a roof that lasts.
Trusted Brands We Service in Century City
We carry seven major roofing material lines, including Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas, so we don’t have to steer you toward one brand that happens to have the best contractor margin. For the flat roofs that dominate Century City, we stock TPO and EPDM membranes plus the adhesives, fasteners, and flashing materials needed for a clean install. Having local warehouse access in the L.A. area means we can start a Century City job quickly and don’t have to wait on long lead times for the right membrane. GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, Boral – we install them all, so we can recommend honestly.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Century City Homes
- Ponding water after rain. Flat roofs with minimal slope and undersized drains hold water after a storm. Ponding stresses seams and flashing, and in Century City, we regularly see leaks that start at a drain bowl that’s been clogged for years.
- UV-oxidized membranes. Unshaded mechanical penthouses and exposed roof fields bake in the L.A. sun. TPO and EPDM membranes oxidize, crack, and lose flexibility long before their published lifespan, especially on the south and west exposures.
- Failed podium tie-ins. Where the roof membrane meets vertical walls, planter beds, or stair towers, the tie-in detail is the first thing to fail. We see water migrating from a bad tie-in into the retail ceiling below, far from the actual penetration.
- Builder-grade underlayment and drip edge. On the original 1960s and 1970s roofs still in service here, the underlayment and flashing at valleys and penetrations were thin. Hidden deck rot is common once the membrane comes off.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Century City, CA

A podium deck waterproofing tie-in adds $3 – $6 per linear foot, depending on the condition of the existing flashing and the number of penetrations.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Century City
We phase the work around the building’s quiet hours and tenant schedules. Tear-off, staging, and crane picks are coordinated with building management, and we use vacuum systems so debris doesn’t drift onto balconies. For occupied condos in Century City, we typically do the noisiest work mid-day and stage materials in a single loading dock, not across the whole roof.
TPO is the most common choice for Century City because it reflects UV and handles the heat well. EPDM works if there’s a lot of foot traffic or equipment on the roof. We install Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, and several other lines, so we’ll recommend the membrane that fits your building’s exposure and drain pattern, not the one we happen to have in the warehouse. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll talk through it.
No, replacing the roof membrane does not void a builder warranty on the structural shell, as long as the roofing contractor installs to the manufacturer’s spec and doesn’t alter structural elements. For newer Century City condos still under builder warranty, we document the existing conditions and flag any warranty-related issues before we start, so you have a record.
Most Century City buildings require HOA or building-management approval before any roof work, and many have architectural standards about membrane color and roof access. We provide the spec sheets, product data, and a written scope of work the HOA board can review before issuing a permit. It adds a week or two to the front end. Budget for it.
Fix the drainage first. A builder-grade flat roof in Century City almost always has undersized drains and minimal slope, so water ponds and the membrane fails early. Before we replace the membrane, we correct slope with tapered insulation or add scuppers. A roof that drains is a roof that lasts. Call (866) 942-4187 and we’ll take a look.
At the twin Century Plaza towers, our crew replaced a failed TPO membrane on a podium deck above the retail level. We phased the tear-off around tenant hours, used a crane to stage materials without blocking building security, and tied the new membrane into the existing flashing and drains to stop persistent ponding leaks. That’s what a proper Century City flat-roof replacement looks like.
