Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across North Hollywood
Roof replacement in North Hollywood typically runs $9,500 to $18,500 for a full tear-off and re-roof on an average 1,400-square-foot bungalow, with most jobs completed in 5 to 9 working days once underway. If your home off Burbank Boulevard or near the NoHo Arts District has hit the 20-year mark, the summer heat has already begun drying out shingle tabs and oxidizing flat-roof membranes. We know the difference between a roof that needs patch work and one that has reached the end of its service life. Call (877) 752-3460 and we’ll help you figure out which one yours is.
Key Takeaways
- Full roof replacement in North Hollywood costs $9,500 – $18,500 depending on decking condition, roof slope, and material.

- Flat-roof dingbats along Lankershim and Vineland need drainage correction before any membrane goes down.
- Free, honest roof inspections with written line-item estimates for homes in 91601, 91615, 91616, and 91618.

Why Sunrise Roof Repair Is North Hollywood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Our Roof Replacement crews have spent years working the streets between Chandler and Magnolia, Oxnard and Camarillo. We know that a 1930s bungalow near the Metro G Line station has a different roof anatomy than a 1970s stucco box in the flats south of Victory. Homeowners keep calling us back because we inspect first and recommend second. If a repair gets you another five years, we’ll tell you that. If the decking is shot and the underlayment has turned to dust, we’ll show you the photos and walk you through the numbers.
Ruben Acosta runs every North Hollywood estimate personally. He’s the one who crawls the attic, checks the rafter tails, and tells you straight whether you need a full replacement or a targeted fix. That level of honesty is rare. It’s also why homeowners in the 91601 and 91616 zips recommend us to neighbors.
New Roof Installation in North Hollywood
New Roof Installation in North Hollywood usually means two very different projects: a tear-off on an aging bungalow, or a fresh roof on an ADU or mid-rise infill box near the Arts District. The first involves removing everything down to the framing, repairing or replacing damaged rafters, and laying new decking. The second often means a low-slope TPO or modified-bitumen system that meets Title 24 cool-roof reflectivity rules. A full new roof on an existing single-family home in North Hollywood runs $11,000 to $18,500 when decking is replaced. New construction or ADU roof decks come in tighter, usually $7,500 to $12,000 depending on square footage and membrane type.
Decking and Framing First
We don’t lay shingles over questionable wood. On North Hollywood’s older homes, that means we budget for plywood re-decking from the start. If the framing is worse than expected, you’ll see a written change order before we touch it.
ADU and Infill Builds
New detached units and mixed-use walk-ups near Lankershim require flat or low-slope roofs that drain fast and reflect heat. We stock TPO and mod-bit membranes locally, so crews aren’t waiting on material delivery from across the Valley.
Reroofing in North Hollywood
Reroofing in North Hollywood is the job where we strip the old layers and build the roof back correctly: underlayment, drip edge, decking where needed, and shingles or membrane selected for how the house actually behaves in Valley heat and Santa Ana winds. A reroof on a 1,200 – 1,600 square foot home here runs $9,500 to $15,500 when the existing decking is sound. If we find skip sheathing, open gaps, or rotted rafter tails after tear-off, that number rises because the structure itself needs work before any roofing can be installed. You’ll see that change in writing, with photos, before we proceed.
Skip Sheathing on Older Bungalows
Original 1×6 boards with gaps between them don’t meet current nailed-deck requirements. We re-deck with plywood and bring the roof up to code.
Porch and Low-Slope Sections
North Hollywood bungalows often have low-slope porch roofs that pond. We correct the pitch with tapered insulation or crickets so the new roof drains instead of holding water.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Hollywood
We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Boral, and three other major brands. The point: we’re not tied to one manufacturer, which means you get the right material for your roof and budget, not the only brand we carry. CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles hold up well against Santa Ana wind events. Boral’s cool roof colors meet Title 24 reflectivity minimums. GAF’s Timberline series offers a strong warranty at a mid-tier price. We keep the most common colors and accessory parts available locally for North Hollywood customers, so tear-off to final inspection moves without delays.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in North Hollywood Homes
- Skip sheathing with open gaps: 1920s – 1940s homes near the NoHo Arts District were framed over 1×6 boards spaced apart. Current shear and nailed-deck rules mean full re-decking before any new roof goes on.
- Ponding water on dingbat flat roofs: Buildings along Vineland and Lankershim were often built without crickets. Water pools, seams split, and the membrane fails years early.
- Santa Ana wind damage: Fall wind events lift shingle tabs and ridge caps. We see this most often on east-facing slopes in the 91615 and 91618 zips.
- Title 24 color mismatches: Homeowners pick a dark shingle, then discover LA’s cool-roof rules disqualify it. We check reflectivity before the quote, not after the shingles arrive.

Material choice moves the price. Three-tab asphalt shingles cost less up front, but architectural shingles last longer through Valley heat and wind. Re-decking is the biggest variable on older bungalows. If the skip sheathing has gaps or the rafter tails are soft, you’re adding plywood, fasteners, and labor. That’s not a surcharge, that’s code. We write it into the estimate line item so you see it before we start. Call (877) 752-3460 for a free, line-item quote on your North Hollywood roof.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in North Hollywood
A roof in 91601 often costs more than the first quote because the original estimate was based on a surface inspection, and the tear-off reveals skip sheathing, rotted rafter tails, or no ice and water shield in the valleys. When a roofer hasn’t opened the roof, they can’t see the framing underneath. On North Hollywood’s 1920s and 1930s bungalows, the original 1×6 skip sheathing almost never meets current code. That means re-decking is required, and that’s a line item, not a surprise. Call (877) 752-3460 to get a quote that accounts for the real condition of your roof, not just its surface.
Yes, potentially. Title 24 cool-roof reflectivity requirements apply to re-roofing projects on single-family homes in North Hollywood. Dark shingle colors that fall below the minimum solar reflectance index may be disqualified. That means the charcoal or black shingle you liked might not be code-compliant, and we’ll flag it before you spend money on it. We stock cool-roof options from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Boral, so you’ll have color choices that meet the rules. Call (877) 752-3460 to review your options.
A square is 100 square feet of roof area. Most North Hollywood single-story bungalows run 10 to 16 squares, while two-story dingbats and apartment buildings can run 20 squares or more. The square count drives material volume, labor hours, and waste factor, so a small difference in measured roof area changes the total meaningfully. We measure by hand, not by satellite photo, because Valley roofs with multiple planes and porch sections don’t read accurately from above. Call (877) 752-3460 and we’ll measure your roof the right way.
We fix the drainage before we lay any new membrane. A flat roof along Lankershim that keeps ponding was almost certainly built without crickets or with insufficient slope. We install tapered insulation or re-pitch the roof surface so water moves toward the drains and scuppers. Then we install the TPO or modified-bitumen membrane. If you just re-membrane a roof that ponding, you’ll be back in the same spot in three years. Call (877) 752-3460 to have a roofer who understands flat-roof drainage look at your building.
Yes, if it’s installed correctly. Architectural shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning carry wind ratings up to 110 mph or more, which exceeds anything a Santa Ana event typically throws at North Hollywood. The key is installation: proper nailing pattern, correct nail placement, and hand-sealing along rakes and ridges. We also check that valley metal and drip edge are fastened to substrate that can resist uplift. Call (877) 752-3460 to schedule a free inspection and get a wind-ready roof.
