Roofer in Santa Monica

When you need a roofer in Santa Monica for an apartment building in Mid-City, a condo building downtown or a bungalow in the Pico Neighborhood, call (310) 857-2520. We return the call within a few hours.

Start a building file Call (310) 857-2520

The building visit is free. Your file starts that day, with photos of your roof.

By the time word of a leak reaches you, the ceiling may have been wet for days. So we stop the water first, and then you get the photos, that day.

If it is your own bungalow, it works the same way, and the photos come to you once the water has stopped.

What every job gets

The building visit is free. It takes about 45 minutes a roof, and your file starts that day, with photos of your roof.
The written scope follows within 48 hours. Each part of the roof has its own price, so a board can approve one part now and leave the rest.
We stop a leak that day. Give us the address and the unit, and we tell you, or the tenant, once the water has stopped.
Every building gets its own file. It holds a plan of the roof with each problem numbered and photographed, what we did and what it cost.
Ten years on our workmanship, counted from the day the final page is signed. Where a fault is in our work, we repair it and the building pays nothing. The roofing material has the manufacturer's own warranty, on a second paper in the same file.

How a Santa Monica leak reaches the landlord

A tenant on the top floor calls about a stain

Ask which room and whether it is wet now. Then call us with the address and the unit, and name who should hear from us when the water has stopped, you or the tenant.

We go up that day. The photo we take on the roof sits beside the tenant's photo of the ceiling, so you see the cause and not just the stain.

Your property manager sends a repair request

If your manager handles the building, they call us and name you, and each page is sent to you both on the day it is added. Nobody has to forward anything.

If your manager handles several buildings on the same street, each one gets its own record, so the photos of one never end up in another's.

You notice it yourself, in your own bungalow

If your house in the Pico Neighborhood has a brown ring on the ceiling, or a drip into the hallway when it rains, call. A house gets the same free visit as a twelve-unit building.

If the roof over the garage out on the alley is leaking too, say so, and it goes in the same visit with its own photos and its own price.

What you need, whether you are the landlord, the board or the manager

If you are the landlord. The photos and the invoice, broken out by each numbered problem, come to you the day they are ready.
If you sit on a condo board. You need something the other owners can vote on: each part of the roof priced alone, with its photo. One part can be approved now and the rest left for another meeting.
If you manage the building. You need to tell the tenant something true. The photos from the roof give you that, the day we take them.
If it is your house. You get the same visit, photos and prices as a building, and the same ten years on our workmanship. Our page on who we work for puts the house and the building side by side.

Mid-City, Downtown and the Pico Neighborhood

Apartment buildings in Mid-City and Wilshire Montana. Many have carports or tuck-under parking and a flat roof above. Water that stands after rain finds the drains and the seams.
Condo buildings downtown. Near Main Street and the pier, the roof may be reached only through a locked hatch. If you are on the board, have the manager meet us at the hatch.
Bungalows and Spanish houses in the Pico Neighborhood. Older houses with a detached garage on the alley, which is often where the ladder goes up.

Flat roofs first, then tile, shingles and gutters

Flat roofs over apartments and carports. Patches, coatings and new surfaces, with the drains cleared first. Our page on flat roof repair walks through each.
Tile on the Spanish houses. The tiles mostly outlast the paper under them. Cracked ones are replaced, and when the paper is finished the tiles come off and return on new paper. Our page on tile roof repair explains both.
Shingles on the bungalows. Lifted or torn shingles are replaced, and our shingle roofs page says when roof replacement is the better choice.
Gutters. We clean, repair and replace gutters.

Trucks, carports and the tenants underneath

How we get up there. A hatch, an outside stair or a ladder from the alley. Tell us which, and whether it is locked.
Where the trucks park. One sheet goes up in the lobby before we start: the work dates and hours, and where the trucks will park, so nobody comes down to a blocked carport.
Carports and tuck-under parking. If cars park under the building, tell us before the day, and we set the ladder where it keeps the parking clear.
Nobody moves out. The roof is opened one part at a time, and no part is left open overnight.
Before we leave. The yard is swept for nails each evening.

Call (310) 857-2520 with the address and the unit.

Venice, Marina del Rey and Pacific Palisades are close by, and we work in each of them.
