Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Commerce
Roof replacement in Commerce, CA typically costs $8,500 – $16,000 for a standard asphalt shingle roof on a mid-century home, and $4.50 – $9.00 per square foot for flat commercial membrane work. We work in Commerce every week, and we know the split personality of this city: modest stucco homes on one block, 40,000-square-foot warehouse roofs on the next. Both fail here. Just differently. If you’re noticing missing shingles, granules in the gutters, or water stains on the ceiling, call Sunrise Roof Repair at (877) 752-3460 for a free roof inspection before the next rain hits.
Why Sunrise Roof Repair Is Commerce’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Commerce sits inland in the LA Basin, and that changes how roofs die. We’re not a coastal crew guessing at inland conditions. Ruben Acosta and the Sunrise Roof Repair team work 90101 regularly, and we understand what freight-corridor smog, summer heat, and winter ponding do to roofs here. That local knowledge shapes every material recommendation we make.
Our customers in Commerce keep calling us back because we inspect first and recommend second. That’s not a tagline; it’s the order of operations. If a repair buys you five more years, we’ll say so. If the decking is soft and the shingles are shot, we’ll show you the photos and walk you through the replacement. Repair when repair is right, replace when it’s not.
We stock materials for both sides of Commerce’s roof landscape: asphalt and architectural shingles for the homes off Whittier Boulevard, and flat-roof membranes for the warehouse and commercial buildings along the freight corridors. Seven manufacturers, one contractor. That means the right material for your roof, not the only brand we carry.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Commerce
Asphalt shingle roof replacement in Commerce is what most homeowners call us about, and for good reason: the inland heat and UV load here bakes shingles until they crack, curl, and shed granules. A mid-century stucco home in Commerce with original shingles is usually past due. On these jobs, we strip to the deck, inspect the plywood, replace soft spots, install new underlayment and shingles, and finish with new flashing and drip edge. Most asphalt shingle replacements in Commerce run $8,500 – $14,000 depending on square footage, roof pitch, and how much decking needs to be replaced.
Architectural Shingles
For homes in Commerce where heat and UV are the primary stressors, architectural shingles make real sense. They’re thicker than three-tab, and they hold up noticeably better to direct sun. We install architectural shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, each with its own manufacturer warranty.
Roof Decking Replacement
On a mid-century stucco home off Whittier Boulevard, our crew pulled a GAF Timberline roof where the original drip edge and fascia had rusted through and the plywood decking had soft spots along the valleys. We replaced the decking, added ice and water shield in the valleys, set a new drip edge, and reset the ridge vent. Two blocks over we were reseaming a TPO warehouse roof that was ponding at the penetrations. Completely different failure, same afternoon. That’s Commerce roofing in a nutshell.
New Roof Installation in Commerce
New roof installation in Commerce isn’t just for tear-offs; a lot of our work here is on newly built accessory units, additions, and rebuilt sections of older homes. If you’re adding square footage or building on a lot in Commerce, we frame, deck, dry in, and finish the roof so it’s ready for decades of inland sun. New roof installation in Commerce starts around $7,000 for a small residential roof and runs $15,000 – $25,000 for larger or more complex projects. Every new roof gets full underlayment, proper flashing at every penetration, and a ventilation plan that actually works in this heat.
Flat Roofing
Commerce has more flat roofs per square mile than almost any city in southeast LA, thanks to the warehouses and commercial buildings that surround the residential streets. We install and repair TPO and other flat membrane systems, and we’re honest about what a flat roof needs here: positive drainage, properly sealed penetrations, and a schedule for inspection after winter rains. Ponding at seams is the number one flat-roof killer we see in Commerce.
Full Roof Replacement
When a roof has failed in multiple ways, a full Roof Replacement is the right call. That means stripping everything down to the deck, replacing damaged sheathing, and building the roof back up correctly, not layering new shingles over old problems. For a city like Commerce, where flat and pitched roofs sit side by side, we scope every full replacement to the actual roof type and failure mode, not a generic spec sheet.
Trusted Brands We Service in Commerce
We carry and install products from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Commerce homeowners, that breadth matters. Inland heat and smog eat certain materials faster than others, and the right shingle for a shaded bungalow near Bandini isn’t always the right shingle for a full-sun roof on a hilltop above the 5. We don’t have a brand agreement forcing us into one product line, so we recommend based on what your roof actually faces. We keep common materials on hand for fast turnaround across 90101, and manufacturer warranties on every brand we install are documented in writing.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Commerce Homes
- Sun-baked shingle failure: The inland heat in Commerce breaks down asphalt shingles faster than coastal LA roofs. We see granule loss and curling on homes that get southwest exposure with no shade protection.
- Flat-roof ponding at seams and penetrations: After winter rain, flat warehouse and commercial membranes in Commerce hold water at the low points and around pipes. That standing water breaks down the membrane seams and causes leaks that a pitched roof next door would never develop.
- Rusted drip edge and fascia: On older mid-century homes, the original metal flashing and drip edge corrode over decades. Once that edge rusts through, water gets behind the gutters and into the soffit and fascia, and the decking rots from the edge inward.
- Poor attic ventilation cooking the deck from below: Clogged or undersized soffit vents trap superheated air inside attics on older Commerce homes. The roof deck gets roasted from underneath, shingles age prematurely, and the manufacturer warranty won’t save you if the ventilation was wrong from the start.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Commerce
Yes. For full-sun roofs in Commerce, we typically recommend architectural shingles over three-tab because the thicker mat resists UV and heat better, and the extra weight and dimension mean fewer blow-offs during the Santa Ana gusts that hit the freight corridors. The right material for your roof, not the only brand we carry, and that’s especially true in 90101. Call (877) 752-3460 and we’ll walk you through what we’d spec for your exact roof.
Put them side by side on three things: decking replacement language, ventilation scope, and brand/warranty details. A low bid in Commerce often means “we won’t touch the decking unless it’s visibly falling in” and “we’ll reuse the existing flashings.” A honest bid spells out how much decking gets replaced, what ventilation will be added or corrected, and which specific shingle brand and line is quoted. We give every Commerce customer a line-item written quote so you can see exactly what’s in and what’s out. Call (877) 752-3460 for a free estimate and we’ll help you compare.
Because the failure modes are completely different. Flat warehouse roofs in Commerce fail at the seams and penetrations where water ponds after winter rain. Pitched residential roofs fail from heat, UV, and poor ventilation. A crew that knows Commerce works both types in the same week, and that dual experience means we don’t misdiagnose a home roof with a commercial membrane problem or vice versa. Call (877) 752-3460 to schedule an inspection on either type.
We install products from seven manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That gives you real choice in material, warranty level, and price point. We’re material-agnostic, so the recommendation is driven by what fits your Commerce roof, your budget, and your long-term plans. Call (877) 752-3460 and we’ll show you options from at least three brands so you can compare.
Yes. We’ll never shingle over soft plywood or OSB. During the tear-off, every sheet of decking gets inspected, and any section that’s compromised gets cut out and replaced before the new underlayment and shingles go down. On older Commerce homes, especially mid-century builds where ventilation was marginal and eaves have been leaking, decking replacement is common, and it’s always written into the line-item quote before we start. Call (877) 752-3460 to schedule your free inspection and see what your decking actually looks like.
If your roof is showing its age or you’ve spotted a leak, call Sunrise Roof Repair at (877) 752-3460. We’ll send Ruben Acosta and the crew out to Commerce, inspect first, recommend second, and give you a free line-item estimate for the right scope of work. Before the next rain hits.
