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

Kurt Hensley built Orange County Roofing Co around a simple idea: homeowners deserve to know what they’re buying before they sign. We carry materials from seven major manufacturers, which means when we stand on a North Hills roof and tell you a GAF architectural shingle is the right call for your low-pitch tract home, it’s because the product fits your heat exposure and budget, not because it’s the only line we sell. That’s the difference between a roofer who sells one brand and a roofer who can actually compare them in front of you.

Our crews have replaced roofs across North Hills for years, and we’ve seen the same patterns repeat: original tar-and-gravel sections that blister in July, flashing sealant that dries out and cracks at wall terminations, hidden re-roof layers that trap heat against the decking. Homeowners here don’t need a contractor who treats roofing like a coastal job. They need someone who knows valley-floor heat is the primary destroyer of shingles in this part of Los Angeles. We do.

Every replacement we handle in North Hills starts with an honest inspection. We’ll tell you if your roof has five years left or if it’s done, and we’ll never push a full replacement when a repair makes more sense. If you’re selling a home off Hayvenhurst or buying a 1950s stucco tract house near Sepulveda Basin, our standalone inspection service gives you a documented condition report without any obligation to hire us for the work.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in North Hills

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement is the most common job we do across North Hills, and for good reason: the valley’s dry heat and relentless UV exposure breaks down shingle granules faster than almost any weather condition we see in Southern California. A typical architectural shingle replacement on a 1,200-1,800 square foot North Hills tract home runs $10,500 to $16,500, including tear-off of one existing layer. Standard three-tab shingles fall on the lower end, architectural shingles from Owens Corning or Atlas sit in the middle, and premium impact-rated product lines push toward the top of that range.

When we replace shingles in North Hills, we’re not just swapping out material. We’re checking what’s underneath: decking condition, underlayment, ventilation, and whether previous contractors left multiple layers that should have been torn off years ago. That’s what determines whether your new roof lasts 15 years or 30.

Decking and Underlayment for Valley Heat

Heat is hard on the parts of your roof you never see. On North Hills homes where a second or third layer was added over the original, decking can be soft in places or warped from years of trapped heat. We pull up a section, inspect the wood, and replace anything questionable before the new shingles go down.

Underlayment choice matters more in the valley than people expect. We typically use a synthetic underlayment with higher heat resistance than felt, and we add ice and water shield at critical points: valleys, eaves, and anyplace the roof meets a stucco wall. It’s a small cost increase that prevents the kind of wind-driven winter leak North Hills sees when storms push through the Sepulveda Basin gap.

Ventilation That Actually Works Here

A roof that can’t breathe dies early in North Hills. Attic temps in a 1950s low-pitch tract home can climb high enough to bake shingles from underneath, and that’s what causes premature granule loss even on quality materials. We check ridge and soffit ventilation on every replacement and add a ridge vent where airflow is insufficient. It’s the difference between a roof that looks good for five years and one that still looks good at twenty.

New Roof Installation in North Hills

New Roof Installation in North Hills covers everything from a first roof on new construction to a complete tear-off and rebuild on an existing home or apartment building. The price range is broader here because the scope varies so much: a simple new-construction roof on a small single-story starts around $9,000, while a full tear-off with decking replacement and architectural shingles on a larger multifamily building can exceed $30,000. What’s consistent is that North Hills heat punishes a cheap new roof within the first decade.

A new roof gives you a clean slate, which is exactly what many older North Hills buildings need. You’re not layering over someone else’s mistakes, not trying to seal a flat roof that’s been patched six times. You’re starting with decking that’s sound, underlayment that’s rated for valley temperatures, and shingles installed by a crew that knows how this climate ages a roof.

Flat Roof Replacement

North Hills has a high concentration of 1960s-70s apartment buildings and some mid-century homes with flat or very low-slope sections. These roofs fail differently than pitched shingle roofs. Valley-floor heat bakes tar-and-gravel layers until they crack and blister, and foam coatings dry out and pull away from the substrate. We remove the old material down to decking, check for heat damage, and install a modern membrane system with positive drainage so water can’t pond. If your flat section is over living space, this is not a job to defer.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Hills

We install roofing products from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That’s seven major manufacturers, which is not common among residential roofers, and it exists for one reason: you should be able to compare a 30-year architectural shingle from Atlas against a comparable product from Tamko without switching contractors or listening to someone push the only brand they’re authorized to sell. Our North Hills customers get brand-neutral recommendations based on their roof’s pitch, sun exposure, and budget, with manufacturer-backed warranty options across multiple coverage tiers. The right product wins.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in North Hills Homes

• Heat-driven granule loss on asphalt shingles. July air temps in North Hills are one thing; roof-surface temps are another entirely. Shingles bake from above and below when attic ventilation is poor, shedding granules years earlier than they should. If you’re finding granules in your gutters every month, the roof is telling you something.
• Blistered and ponding flat roofs. The pattern we see on flat sections across North Hills is predictable: summer heat blisters the surface coat, cracks form, and the first real winter storm sends water into the building. Homeowners often think they have a sudden leak, but the damage started months earlier when the membrane broke down under UV and heat.
• Cracked flashing sealant at stucco junctions. Most North Hills homes are stucco-clad, and where roof meets wall, sealant dries out and splits under sustained heat. The gap isn’t visible from the ground, but wind-driven rain through the Van Nuys gap finds it. We replace and reseal every flashing point on every replacement we do here.
• Multiple re-roof layers adding load and trapping heat. On a surprising number of older North Hills tract homes and apartments, we find two or even three layers of roofing stacked when we tear off. Each layer holds heat against the decking and adds weight the framing wasn’t designed for. We always recommend full removal down to decking instead of layering over something that’s already failing.
