How long does a roof replacement take?

Most single-family re-roofs take days, not weeks, and we confirm the schedule in your written scope before work begins. The honest variables are the size and pitch of the roof, the material going on, deck repairs uncovered during tear-off, and weather. We sequence tear-off so your home is never left open to the sky overnight.

Do you repair roofs, or only replace them?

We do both, and we recommend repair whenever repair is what the roof actually needs. A slipped tile, a failed flashing, or one localized leak rarely justifies a new roof. Either way, the inspection tells us which one you need and the written scope says so plainly.

Shingle, tile, or flat — which is right for a Los Angeles home?

It depends on the structure you have and how long you plan to keep it. Architectural shingle is durable, clean-lined, and cost-sensible; it is the workhorse for most pitched roofs. Tile lasts for decades, but the underlayment beneath it does not, so most tile work is really underlayment work. Flat and low-slope roofs need membrane systems like TPO or torch down, where drainage matters more than the material's name. We walk you through the options during the inspection, on your actual roof.

Do you handle the permits?

Yes. We pull the permits, schedule the city inspections, and build to the code your jurisdiction enforces. A permit puts the city's inspector on your side of the job, so we treat it as part of the scope — not an extra.

What does the free inspection include?

Someone gets on the roof, photographs its condition, and walks you through what we found. Then it arrives in writing: the findings with photos, the recommended scope, the schedule, the permits (which are part of the scope, not an extra), and the price. On a tear-off it also names a unit price for deck repair, so the one thing nobody can see before the roof comes off is priced before it is uncovered. No obligation. To schedule one, call (818) 747-1131 or send the estimate form.

Roof Replacement & Repair

Residential roofing is the replacement, repair, and maintenance of the roof over a house: the covering you can see, the underlayment beneath it, and the flashing at every point where the roof is interrupted. A roof is a promise about rain. We keep that promise for homeowners across Los Angeles and Ventura counties — done once, done right, documented.

Roofs We Replace, Repair, and Maintain

Roof Replacement
Full tear-off and rebuild, documented from deck to ridge.
The deck under the roofing is the one honest unknown, so the scope names a unit price for deck repair before work starts, the crew photographs what it finds, and you approve the actual quantity.
Roof Repair
From slipped tiles to storm damage — fixed, not patched over.
Because the entry point usually sits well upslope from where the stain appears, we work backward along the water's path: from the stain, up the framing, to the daylight.
Asphalt Shingle
Architectural shingle systems with proper underlayment and flashing.
New flashing at every interruption: chimneys, skylights, vents, valleys, and the lines where a roof dies into a wall. Roofs rarely leak in the open field.
Tile Roofing
Repair, relay, and underlayment replacement under existing tile.
The tile is armor; the underlayment beneath it is the actual waterproofing. Sound tile is lifted, stacked, and relaid over new underlayment rather than thrown away.
Flat & Low-Slope
Torch down, TPO, and PVC systems for flat-roofed homes.
Drainage gets scoped before the membrane does. A well-drained roof in any of these systems outlasts a ponding roof in the best of them.
Maintenance & Inspections
Scheduled checks that catch small problems while they're small.
Drainage first (valleys, gutters, roof drains, scuppers), then the surface, then the details, because first-storm failures are almost always blocked paths rather than exotic ones.

How a Re-Roof Actually Goes

The same beats as every Silver Leaf job. Most re-roofs run days, not weeks, and the schedule is part of the written scope, so you know before the first truck arrives. What the number itself turns on is knowable before anyone bids: the pitch of the roof and how a crew reaches it, how many old layers have to come off, what the deck underneath turns out to look like, the material tier going on, the flashing at every point the roof is interrupted, and permits. Nobody can price a roof from the street — the ranges published online are averages of other people's roofs. What drives the cost of a roof replacement.

Inspect
Someone gets on the roof and documents what is actually there: decking, flashing, every layer down to the wood.
Written Scope
The findings arrive in writing, with photos: what is failing, what it needs, what it costs. No mystery line items.
Build
Tear-off, deck repairs, underlayment, flashing, finish — sequenced so your home is never left open to the sky overnight.

We say the site is clean when we leave. A client put it in their own words on our previous website.

Full roof replacement

From start to finish, our experience with Silver Leaf Construction was top-notch. We needed a full roof replacement on our home, and their team guided us expertly through choosing materials, weighing the pros and cons of asphalt shingles versus tile. Work began promptly, with the crew working efficiently yet carefully cleaning up at the end of each day made a big difference for us. The new roof looks beautiful and is built to last. Their professionalism and commitment to quality truly stand out!
