Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Inglewood
Roof replacement in Inglewood typically runs $8,500 – $18,500 for a standard asphalt shingle tear-off and re-roof on a 1,200 – 1,800 sq ft home, with most jobs completed in 3 – 5 working days once materials land. If your roof is 20+ years old, losing granules, or leaking after the marine layer settles in, the honest answer is usually a full replacement, not another patch. We work across Inglewood from the 90301 side of downtown through Morningside Park to the newer developments near Hollywood Park, and we know what these roofs look like once we open them up. Call (877) 752-3460 to schedule a free inspection and a written, line-item estimate before the next rain hits.
Key takeaways:
- Full asphalt shingle replacement in Inglewood averages $8,500 – $18,500 depending on square count, decking condition, and tear-off requirements.
- Older Inglewood bungalows often have original 1x skip sheathing that requires redecking once the old shingles come off.
- We carry GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and other major brands so you choose what fits your home, not what we happen to stock.

Why Sunrise Roof Repair Is Inglewood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Inglewood homeowners call us for the same reasons they call the same mechanic for years. We show up on time, we tell you what’s actually wrong, and we don’t inflate the scope. Our Roof Replacement team has worked on enough 1920s bungalows near Morningside Park and enough flat-roof apartment buildings off Manchester Boulevard to know what we’re going to find before we even set up the ladder. That matters because an Inglewood roof built before 1960 rarely gives you a simple answer once the shingles come off.
Ruben Acosta runs every Inglewood job with the same approach: inspect first, recommend second. We’re not a single-brand contractor pushing one shingle line. We stock and install products from seven manufacturers, so your material recommendation comes from what your roof actually needs, not a distribution agreement. That’s why homeowners around 90305 and 90304 keep our number saved.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Replacement Contractor in Inglewood
A Roof Replacement Contractor in Inglewood handles the full tear-off of your existing roof system and installs a new one rated for the South Bay coastal climate. That means removing old shingles or built-up roofing, inspecting the decking underneath, repairing or replacing damaged sheathing, installing new underlayment and flashing, and finishing with new shingles or a membrane system. In Inglewood, we also work with the city’s permitting office to make sure your replacement meets current Title 24 cool-roof and seismic requirements, which many pre-2000 homes were never built to.
Full Tear-Off and Decking Assessment
We don’t overlay when the decking can’t support another layer. On older Inglewood homes, that’s most of them. Once shingles come off, we inspect every square foot of sheathing for dry-rot from marine-layer moisture and replace damaged sections before anything new goes down.
Permit Coordination and Code Upgrades
A permitted roof replacement in Inglewood may trigger code upgrades like cool-roof shingle requirements or improved attic ventilation. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and write any code-driven scope changes into a change order you approve before we proceed.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Inglewood
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Inglewood is the most common scope we quote, and for good reason. Architectural asphalt shingles handle the marine layer, the summer heat, and the occasional Santa Ana blow better than most wood-shake alternatives at a price that makes sense for a 1930s bungalow or a 1950s ranch. A typical 1,200 – 1,600 sq ft Inglewood home runs $8,500 – $14,500 for a full asphalt tear-off and replacement with a 30-year architectural shingle, including underlayment, flashing, and a ridge vent upgrade.
Architectural Shingle Upgrades
We recommend architectural shingles for nearly every Inglewood re-roof. They hold up better under wind-driven rain and provide the dimensional look that fits the Spanish and Craftsman homes common around downtown and Morningside Park, without the weight and maintenance of wood shake.
Decking and Ventilation in the Marine Layer
Inglewood’s damp mornings mean attic ventilation isn’t optional. We check ridge and soffit venting on every asphalt roof we replace and correct airflow issues that trap moisture against the underside of the deck, which is exactly what accelerates rot in this climate.
Trusted Brands We Service in Inglewood
We install and service asphalt shingle systems from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Boral, and the other manufacturers in our seven-brand portfolio. For Inglewood homeowners, that means real material choice. A 1928 bungalow near Morningside Park might want the architectural profile and color options from CertainTeed. A homeowner replacing a flat roof on a duplex near Centinela might be better served by a GAF membrane. We stock local supply in the East Los Angeles yard and can have material staged for Inglewood jobs within a day of permit approval. You get the roof that fits your home and budget, not whatever a single-brand contractor happens to sell.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Inglewood Homes
- Original 1x skip sheathing under old wood shingles. Inglewood’s 1920s – 1940s bungalows, especially near downtown and Morningside Park, were built with spaced board sheathing, not solid plywood. Once wood shingles come off, that skip sheathing often fails inspection and triggers a full redeck.
- Dry-rot from persistent marine-layer moisture. The morning dew and damp air that settle over Inglewood keep old wood sheathing and fascia soft. We find rot in the eaves, valleys, and around penetrations on nearly every pre-1980 roof we open.
- Failed flashing around chimneys and pipe boots. Santa Ana wind-driven rain finds every weak flashing point. On Inglewood homes, reused or absent flashing at chimneys and plumbing vents is one of the most common causes of leaks that look like a shingle problem but aren’t.
- Overlay jobs hiding deck damage. A previous layover of asphalt shingles over old wood shake traps moisture and accelerates deck rot. Most Inglewood homes on their second or third reroof have hidden damage we can’t confirm until the old layers come off.

What moves the number? The condition of the decking beneath the shingles is the single biggest variable on Inglewood homes, followed by square count, pitch, and whether you need a cool-roof-rated shingle to satisfy current Title 24 requirements. We write decking allowances into the contract so you see a realistic number before we start, and we price any unexpected condition in writing before we proceed.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Inglewood
Most Inglewood bungalows with original wood shingles need a full tear-off, not an overlay. The original 1x skip sheathing underneath rarely meets current code or provides a solid nailing surface, and the added weight of an overlay accelerates failure. We always inspect the decking before we recommend anything, and we’ll show you photos of what we find. Call (877) 752-3460 for a free inspection with no obligation to proceed.
We write a decking allowance into the contract and price any additional scope in a written change order before we touch it. You approve every number before work continues. No surprise invoices, no after-the-fact add-ons.
Yes. Inglewood sits under LAX approach paths, so we schedule tear-off, dumpster drop, and heavy work for mid-morning hours when possible and coordinate early-morning deliveries with the city’s noise expectations. We don’t show up at 6 a.m. with a dumpster in a residential Morningside Park neighborhood.
Title 24 cool-roof compliance in Inglewood is typically met with a solar-reflective asphalt shingle from GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning that carries a CRRC rating meeting the minimum reflectance and emittance values. We’ll specify the right product for your permit application. Call (877) 752-3460 for a free estimate, and we’ll confirm exactly which shingle line meets the current code for your address.
A roofing square is 100 square feet. Most Inglewood bungalows run 12 – 18 squares, which translates to $8,800 – $15,500 for a full asphalt tear-off and replacement with a mid-grade architectural shingle. Square count matters because material and labor scale directly with roof area, not with the home’s square footage or number of bedrooms. A 1,400 sq ft house with a steep gable roof can carry 20 squares while a 1,400 sq ft ranch with a low pitch might carry 14. That’s why we measure the roof, not the floor plan, and why our written estimate always lists square count on the first page.
