Owens Corning Roofing in Florence-Graham, CA | Sunrise Roof Repair
We provide independent Owens Corning service across Florence-Graham – shingle replacement, flashing repair, and roof decking replacement on the aging bungalows and duplexes that fill this 90001 stretch of South LA. The one thing that makes our Owens Corning work here different is sequencing: because lots are packed lot-to-lot, we hand-carry materials over fence lines and stage from ladders instead of blocking a narrow driveway with a dumpster or boom. If your Owens Corning roof is leaking, shedding granules, or curling at the eaves, call us at (877) 752-3460 for a free estimate before the next winter storm.
We’re an independent contractor – not authorized, sponsored, or warrantied by Owens Corning – though we do offer Owens Corning in South Gate. We carry their shingle lines because they fit a lot of Florence-Graham roofs well, and we know how they age under this specific sun.
We also handle Owens Corning sales & service across the broader South LA area, so you’re getting brand depth plus local sequencing know-how.
Why Florence-Graham Residents Choose Us for Owens Corning Service
Ruben Acosta grew up in Belvedere, helping his uncle patch flat roofs on the older stucco homes near Belvedere Park. He’s been on roofs across East LA for over two decades, and he’s still the guy neighbors call when a torch-down membrane or a clay tile repair needs to be done right. That background matters in Florence-Graham because the housing stock here is mostly 1920s – 1950s single-story stucco bungalows and small duplexes on narrow lots. The roofs are low-slope or shallow-pitch, the decks are often original wood sheathing with patches layered on top of patches, and the rear additions and converted garages sit right where water wants to pool.
We know Owens Corning’s lines – Oakridge, Duration, Supreme, TruDefinition Duration – not from a catalog, but from pulling them off Florence-Graham roofs and seeing how they fail here. We inspect first and recommend what the slope actually needs. Sometimes that’s targeted shingle replacement. Sometimes it’s a full re-roof. We don’t default to the bigger job, and we’ll say so plainly if a repair will get you another few years.
Seven brands, one contractor. We stock and install Owens Corning alongside GAF, CertainTeed, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, so the material call is driven by your roof and your budget – not by what a single-brand shop happens to carry.

Common Owens Corning Roofing Problems We Solve in Florence-Graham
- UV-driven granule loss on south- and west-facing slopes. Florence-Graham gets maybe 10 to 15 inches of rain a year, and the sun does most of the damage. Oakridge and Supreme shingles on the afternoon side of a bungalow bake for months, the asphalt dries, and granules slough off in bare patches. You’ll see the tabs curling and the fiberglass mat showing through. That’s not a warranty fight – it’s what this climate does to a roof that’s been up since the 1990s or earlier.
- Winter-storm leaks at step and chimney flashings. The dry season hides a failing sealant under Duration shingles for ten months. Then the first hard storm rolls in and the ceiling stains appear. In Florence-Graham, the flashing junctions on rear additions and converted garages are the usual suspects, because those additions were often built tight to the main house and flashed with whatever was on hand.
- Soft or patched wood sheathing under original decks. A lot of these homes still have their original 1920s – 1950s decking, and it’s been patched over the years. When we lift Owens Corning shingles and find soft spots, new shingles will telegraph every lump and nail-pop they’re laid over. The deck has to be addressed before the shingles go back down, or the new roof looks wavy and wears unevenly.
- Nail-line and valley failures on shallow-pitch runs. Owens Corning shingles have a minimum slope requirement, and on Florence-Graham rear additions and converted garages, that pitch is often borderline. Installed below the minimum without a low-slope membrane underneath, the shingles leak along the nail lines and valleys. We see this constantly on the deep narrow lots off Graham Avenue.
- Patched low-slope areas that bake all summer, then leak in winter. Torch-down patches and mismatched sealant on flat rear additions age hard in South LA heat. By December, they’re brittle and cracked, and the first real rain finds every seam. We tie the patch back into the Owens Corning shingle runs properly, with new flashing at the transition.
Owens Corning Service in Florence-Graham: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what you won’t find on a generic brand page: most Owens Corning re-roofs in Florence-Graham are done from ladders and hand-carry staging, not a boom truck or a driveway dumpster. The lots are too tight for a roll-off to sit while you’re tearing off, and many of these homes share a wall or come within inches of their neighbor’s stucco. On a narrow 90001 block off Graham Avenue, we re-roofed a 1940s stucco bungalow where the rear converted-garage addition had a shallow-pitch Owens Corning Oakridge run that was curling and shedding granules from years of sun. We hand-carried bundles in over the fence line, pulled the soft original sheathing at the transition, replaced the decking, and set new architectural shingles with fresh step flashing where the low roof met the house. No dumpster in the driveway, and the winter leak at that seam stayed dry. That’s the job. It changes how we sequence tear-off and load-out on a shallow-pitch bungalow, and it’s why a crew that knows Florence-Graham lots will out-work one that doesn’t every time.

Owens Corning Models & Products We Service in Florence-Graham
We service the Owens Corning lines you’re most likely to find on a Florence-Graham roof, along with our Willowbrook Owens Corning service. Oakridge Architectural Shingles show up on a lot of the bungalows re-roofed in the 1990s and 2000s. Duration and TruDefinition Duration are the current architectural upgrades we recommend when a full replacement makes sense – they hold their seal better on shallow pitches and give you a thicker shingle for the money. Supreme Asphalt is the entry-level 3-tab we still see on flipped duplexes and rental triplexes, where the budget was tight and the install was quick.
Our parts approach is straightforward: we use genuine Owens Corning shingles and matching accessory components (starter, ridge, and hip) wherever the owner has a manufacturer warranty to protect. Where the roof is already mixed – and a lot of Florence-Graham roofs are – we use quality aftermarket underlayment and flashing metal to match what’s there. We’ll tell you which is which before any work starts.

AfterOwens Corning Service Pricing in Florence-Graham
Targeted Owens Corning shingle replacement in Florence-Graham typically runs $380 – $550 for a small section, depending on access and how much deck repair is underneath. Flashing repair – the step flashing at a rear addition seam or a chimney re-flash – usually lands between $250 and $480. Roof decking replacement runs $4 – $8 per square foot, and on these older bungalows, a few sheets of soft sheathing under a leaky slope is common. A full Owens Corning architectural re-roof on a typical Florence-Graham bungalow starts around $7,500 and goes up from there, driven mostly by how much decking has to come out and how tight the access is.
Your free estimate includes a walk-through of what’s actually failing, a line-item breakdown of repair versus replace per slope, and a straight answer on what you can defer. Call (877) 752-3460 and we’ll schedule a time that works around your morning.

FAQs – Owens Corning Roofing in Florence-Graham
Yes. On most Florence-Graham lots, we hand-carry bundles from the street or over the fence line and stage materials on the roof itself, not in the driveway. We sequence tear-off in sections so old material is bagged and carried out the same day, and we only bring a container when the lot actually has access for one. Most of these 90001 bungalows don’t, and we’re set up for that. Call (877) 752-3460 and we’ll tell you what your particular access looks like.
Owens Corning shingles have a minimum slope rating, and a lot of Florence-Graham rear additions and converted garages sit right at or below that line. If they were installed without a low-slope membrane underneath, they leak along nail lines and valleys. We assess each slope as its own call: sometimes the fix is a proper self-adhered membrane under the shingles at that transition, and sometimes that rear addition should be a membrane roof, not shingles at all.
In Florence-Graham, south- and west-facing slopes bake hard every summer. The asphalt in the shingle dries out, the fiberglass mat gets brittle, and granules release. It’s age and UV exposure, not a manufacturing defect in most cases. If the granule loss is confined to the afternoon side, we usually see curled tabs and bare patches, and the right fix is replacing the affected slope before the mat starts cracking through.
Most likely at a flashing junction: step flashing at a rear addition, chimney flashing, or a valley where two slopes meet. The dry season hides a dried-out sealant or a rusted flashing for months. When the first real rain hits, the water finds the opening fast. We trace the stain to its source and fix the junction, not just the spot on the ceiling. Call (877) 752-3460 for an exact diagnosis – estimates are free.
No, and that’s the honest answer. New shingles laid over soft or patched sheathing will telegraph lumps, nail-pops, and wavy lines within the first year. The deck under the shingles has to be addressed first. We pull the soft sheets, replace them with new decking at $4 – $8 per square foot, and only then set the Owens Corning shingles so they seat flat and wear evenly.
