If you’ve spotted missing shingles, water staining on ceilings, or salt-corroded flashing, call us at (877) 752-3460.

Sunrise Roof Repair works throughout Del Aire regularly, from the streets off Isis Avenue to the blocks bordering Aviation Boulevard. We understand what these mid-century stucco homes need, because we’ve opened up enough of them to know exactly what to expect.
Why Sunrise Roof Repair Is Del Aire’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Del Aire homeowners call us because we stock and install materials from seven manufacturers, not one. That means your replacement gets sized to your roof and budget, whether it’s a GAF architectural shingle or a CertainTeed product better suited to a low-slope section. We inspect first and recommend second. If a repair will hold your roof for another five years, we’ll tell you that before we ever talk replacement.
Ruben Acosta leads our crews across Del Aire and the surrounding county pockets. He’s walked enough shallow-pitch roofs here to know what the marine layer does to fasteners and flashing. Our team shows up when promised, and we don’t punt on the hard parts. When a county inspector flags a sheathing nailing detail, we fix it and document it.
We’re not the contractor that underbids to get a signature and then buries you in change orders after the tear-off. The estimate you get from us reflects what we actually expect to find on a Del Aire roof. Call (877) 752-3460 and we’ll walk you through it.
Styles & brands we work with
New Roof Installation in Del Aire
New Roof Installation in Del Aire usually lands between $12,000 and $22,000 for a typical single-story mid-century home. The job includes full tear-off to the decking, inspection of the sheathing, replacement of damaged boards, new underlayment, flashing, and the shingle or membrane system you choose. Del Aire’s original homes often have low-slope roofs, which change the underlayment and flashing requirements compared to steeper inland tracts.
What Gets Replaced
A full installation means everything comes off, down to the rafters. We check nailing patterns, replace rotted or delaminated decking, and lay new underlayment rated for the pitch. Flashing at chimneys, pipes, and roof-to-wall transitions gets new metal or membrane, not reused salvage.
When a Full Tear-Off Is the Right Call
If your Del Aire home has original 1940s – 1950s decking softened by marine-layer moisture, a full replacement is usually the honest answer. Patching over compromised sheathing just hides the problem until it fails again. We’ll show you photos of what we find during the tear-off so you know where your money went.
Reroofing in Del Aire
Reroofing in Del Aire, meaning a new shingle or membrane layer installed over the existing roof, runs $7,500 – $14,000 when the structure and decking underneath are still sound. Not every Del Aire home qualifies. If the original roof has already been layered once, or if the decking shows moisture damage, county code generally requires a full tear-off instead.
When Reroofing Makes Sense
A reroof works when the existing roof is a single layer, the sheathing is dry and solid, and the pitch is steep enough for the new system. On Del Aire’s shallow-pitch roofs, we’re careful about this, because ponding or slow drainage under a second layer accelerates rot here more than inland.
Reroof vs. Full Replacement
The honest difference comes down to what’s beneath the shingles. We won’t reroof over skip sheathing that’s gone spongy from decades of fog. We’ll tell you which scope fits your roof, and why, before you spend a dollar.
Trusted Brands We Service in Del Aire
We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Boral products regularly in Del Aire, and we keep common architectural shingle colors and accessories in local supply so we’re not waiting on orders mid-job.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Del Aire Homes
- Salt-corroded flashing and fasteners. The onshore fog off Santa Monica Bay carries salt that eats galvanized nails and drip edge faster than inland air. North-facing slopes that never fully dry show the worst of it, with leaks at pipe boots and chimney flashing.
- Rotted sheathing under original low-slope roofs. 1940s and 1950s homes around Del Aire often have original 1×6 skip sheathing that decades of damp marine air have softened. It only shows after tear-off, and county code requires replacing it before we close the roof in.
- Jet-soot staining and vibration-loosened vents. Del Aire sits under the LAX approach. Soot coats roof surfaces, and constant low-frequency vibration backs out ridge vent and soffit fasteners, opening entry points for damp air.
- Failed underlayment on shallow pitches. Original felt on a 3-in-12 or shallower roof degrades faster when water moves slowly across it. We routinely find deteriorated felt that let moisture reach the decking long before shingles looked worn.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Del Aire, CA
A full tear-off and Roof Replacement on a Del Aire mid-century single-story home typically runs $9,500 – $22,000. Reroofing over a single sound layer runs $7,500 – $14,000. What moves the number: roof size and complexity, how much decking needs replacement, the pitch, and the shingle or membrane system you choose. A steep cut-up roof costs more than a simple gable. County-required upgrades, documented and priced before we proceed, are the honest reason a bid moves after tear-off. Call (877) 752-3460 for a written estimate, specific to your roof. It’s free, and we’ll walk the roof with you if you want to see what we see.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Del Aire
Yes, Del Aire is unincorporated LA County, so roof replacement pull county building permits, not City of LA permits. Opening the roof often triggers code requirements for sheathing nailing patterns, underlayment type, and ventilation, which we document and price in writing before proceeding.
On older Del Aire homes, a tear-off usually reveals aged 1×6 skip sheathing, salt-corroded nails, and failed felt underlayment, especially on north-facing slopes. We photograph everything we find, replace what county code requires, and get your written approval on any added scope before closing the roof in.
We write a change order with the exact decking replacement area, material, and price, and we get your signature before we touch it. Our estimates include an allowance for typical decking repair on Del Aire’s mid-century homes, so you already know the likely range going in. Call (877) 752-3460 and we’ll explain how the allowance works on your roof.
Architectural shingles like GAF Timberline or CertainTeed Landmark work on low-slope roofs down to the manufacturer’s minimum pitch when installed with the specified underlayment and ice-and-water shield at valleys and eaves. On very shallow sections, we may recommend a membrane system instead. Our recommendation follows the roof, not a brand.
Salt-laden fog corrodes fasteners and flashing faster than inland air, and constant LAX vibration loosens vents and flashing over time. That’s why we use corrosion-resistant fasteners and verify fastening patterns on Del Aire roofs, and why county inspectors here look closely at nailing and underlayment details.
